You can use SQL Server's PIVOT operator

SELECT  *
FROM    (
          SELECT  P.ProductName
                  , C.CustName
                  , T.Amount
          FROM    Transactions AS T  
                  INNER JOIN Product AS P ON  T.ProductID = P.ProductID  
                  INNER JOIN Customer AS C ON  T.CustomerID = C.CustomerID  
          WHERE   T.TranDate BETWEEN '2011-01-01' AND '2011-03-31'   
        ) s
PIVOT   (SUM(Amount) FOR ProductName IN ([Car], [Cycle], [Scooter])) pvt

Test data

;WITH q AS (
  SELECT  [Product] = 'Car', [Customer] = 'Armstrong', [Amount] = 80115.50
  UNION ALL SELECT 'Car', 'Michelle', 36571.85  
  UNION ALL SELECT 'Car', 'Schmidt', 45000.65  
  UNION ALL SELECT 'Cycle', 'Michelle', 15000.00  
  UNION ALL SELECT 'Cycle', 'Ronald', 25000.00  
  UNION ALL SELECT 'Scooter', 'Peterson', 82658.23  
  UNION ALL SELECT 'Scooter', 'Ronald', 98547.52  
  UNION ALL SELECT 'Scooter', 'Schmidt', 54000.25  
)
SELECT  Customer
        , Car = ISNULL(Car, 0)
        , Cycle = ISNULL(Cycle, 0)
        , Scooter = ISNULL(Scooter, 0)
        , Total = ISNULL(Car, 0) + ISNULL(Cycle, 0) + ISNULL(Scooter, 0)
FROM    (
          SELECT  *
          FROM    q
        ) s
PIVOT   (SUM(Amount) FOR Product IN ([Car], [Cycle], [Scooter])) pvt

Output

Customer   Car       Cycle     Scooter   Total
Armstrong  80115.50  0.00      0.00      80115.50
Michelle   36571.85  15000.00  0.00      51571.85
Peterson   0.00      0.00      82658.23  82658.23
Ronald     0.00      25000.00  98547.52  123547.52
Schmidt    45000.65  0.00      54000.25  99000.90
