how are car loan interest rates calculated?

I've noticed the interest rates for car loans have gone up from last year to this year. How are they calculated? Does it vary from state to state?

Re: how are car loan interest rates calculated?

i dont know about the set numbers and what/if any has been changed BUT clearly all rates (home/auto) are up because of the credit crunch and declining profit of the economy.
 
individual interest rates are determined by
-fico score/and auto enhanced fico score
-debt to income
-dealer reccomendation/ or dealer kickback
