In addition to which:

what does
   str(E)
show?

The file is small, so what do you get when you simply time
  E
at the R prompt?

header is TRUE by default in read.csv(), so it was unnecessary to supply 
header=T

read.csv2() has header=TRUE and sep=";" by default, so simply
    read.csv2('auto.csv')
should be sufficient if Tim's suggestion is the explanation.

read.csv() and friends are solid, reliable, and extremely well tested 
functions. If they don't succeed, you can assume that your data is different 
than expected. So inspect your data file to try and see what that might be.

Mac and Windows have different end-of-line conventions, but as far as I know 
read.csv and friends are smart enough to handle that.

Your locale setting might be relevant, but that's pretty much outside my 
experience.

    likely the separator character is not the default "," that csv expects.
    
    look in the csv file and see what the separator character is: perhaps it is 
a ";" 
    
    try:
    
    df <- read.csv("example.csv", header=TRUE, sep=";"); names(df)
