Cadillac Planning 10 New Models (Sep 01, 2012) My favorite angle of the car, the rear.
Rare 1966 Ford GT40 Crashed in Tennessee? (Jul 19, 2012) I know someone who owned one of the real GT40s would definitely never take it out for more than a small trip around the block. A major highway is no place for such a car.
Fiat 500L Debuts with World's First In-Car Espresso Maker (Jul 12, 2012) There's a fine line between innovative and moronic.
Spied: 2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan is Bigger and Better (Jul 10, 2012) Uhhhh no word about the TT DI V6 the prototypes have been seen running around with??
Lexus to Launch LS F Sport Sedan (Jul 09, 2012) If it's only a half-step to the TMG, then why do it Lexus? All the way or no way, I say. These F Sport trims are a waste of time, engineering capability, and money.
De Tomaso Officially Declares Bankruptcy (Jul 09, 2012) Italian design, American engineering. A combination that didn't always work, but did here.
Ugly as Sin Exotic Cars (Jul 09, 2012) This trim must be for the track only, because that bodywork wouldn't survive on America's pothole riddled streets.
Luxury Car Evolution: 1938 Cadillac Series 90 V16 (Jul 08, 2012) Absolutely stunning.
CarBuzz Picks the Best of the Classics at Goodwood (Jul 04, 2012) You climb out of the small door with the bottom ending with the window sill. It's pretty much a half door. Allowed the engineers to save weight since this was a track car.
SRT Barracuda, Ram Truck and Small Roadster to join new Viper? (Jun 29, 2012) I like how everyone forgets the obvious upcoming model that has yet to be officially announced: the Dart SRT4. I'm expecting a real competitor to the GTI, Speed3, and Focus ST.
TMG to Become Toyota’s AMG-style Performance Arm (Jun 21, 2012) Spoiler seems like NASCAR add on, but I like it.
TMG to Become Toyota’s AMG-style Performance Arm (Jun 21, 2012) I'm sold on those fender flares alone.
2013 Buick Verano Turbo Arrives with 250hp (Jun 13, 2012) Seems pretty impressive for a car of this size and at this price point. Also makes its bigger brother seems underpowered. Hopefully Buick will have a stronger powerplant in the 2013/2014 Regal GS to further distance itself.
Scion FR-S Gathering in SoCal is the Largest Yet (Jun 09, 2012) Would rather own the Trueno sitting in the foreground.
2013 Opel Astra Sedan Revealed (Jun 06, 2012) Judging by the greenhouse, it already is the brand new Verano compact sedan.
Pony Car Icons, Part 2: Plymouth Barracuda (May 30, 2012) The intake that fits through the cutout on the hood is fitted directly to the carburetor and therefore the engine. When the engine is running, it vibrates and so does the intake in the hood cutout.
Take Your Pick: 2013 NASCAR Toyota Camry or Ford Fusion (May 24, 2012) Finally, a NASCAR that resembles its production counterpart. It's been decades now.
Toyota CEO’s Favorite Cars Not Built by His Company (May 23, 2012) I'd love to own one.
MegaGallery: 40 Years of BMW M (May 18, 2012) It's the one....
2014 Porsche 918 Spyder Enters the Next Phase of Development (May 15, 2012) It must not be a problem Ben. Side-exit exhausts should have a similar problem and they've been used for decades.
Weekly DFA: Sleeping Truck Driver Narrowly Avoids Head-on Collision (May 14, 2012) Wow, that guy in the little Chevy is a dick.
Why We Continue to Love Mazda: EVs Are Not for Them (For Now) (May 14, 2012) Probably right Knox. They're getting close to bankruptcy, so they need cars that won't require so much R&D and will definitely have a chance at selling in good numbers.
We’ll Take That as a 'No': Porsche Axes Entry-Level Model (May 14, 2012) Porsche doesn't want to dip down into the market with a cheaper, entry-level car. That could hurt their image of making world-class semi-exclusive sports cars, exotics, and now SUVs. The reason they can demand such high MSRPs is because of this image
2012 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 One-Off in Matte Black (May 11, 2012) Anybody hear about the future Chrysler 'Cuda being based on the 8C platform?? Supposedly will be much smaller than these monsters and will be more modern in appearance. Similar to the next gen Mustang.
De Tomaso Revival Isn’t Happening (May 10, 2012) Just sue the guy who lied to you all these months. It's not the government's responsibility to make everything right all the time. Think independently and own up to the fact that you took a risk taking this job on a hope and dream.
Mercedes-Benz Creates a Hearse - CLS Shooting Brake Spotted (May 09, 2012) That greenhouse doesn't have a single straight edge on its border, aside from the long straight at the bottom. It goes up, and then it comes right down. Odd.
Latest 2015 Mustang Rendering is Considered Fairly Close (May 08, 2012) That being said, I love this new design. The 50th Anniversary of its debut seems like an appropriate time for a serious redesign. Looks awesome.
Latest 2015 Mustang Rendering is Considered Fairly Close (May 08, 2012) I can see why people get upset over a redesign of this magnitude. We're talking about changing the design on a car that brought performance to the masses. It kick-started a new generation of fun, attractive, and affordable cars geared towards youth.
Kim Takes Kanye’s Mercedes SLR McLaren to Spin Class (May 08, 2012) Also, I want to take those rims and swap em onto my Jetta.
Kim Takes Kanye’s Mercedes SLR McLaren to Spin Class (May 08, 2012) Where's the proof that this is Kanye's? There are at least twenty of these in Beverly Hills. It's probably a friends.
Corvette, Viper, McLaren and Maserati Crash on Same Stretch of Autobahn (May 07, 2012) Shoulda given me all of them and they'd still be on the road today. But noooo....
For Sale: 2005 Saleen S281 Mustang (But it’s Cut in Half) (May 07, 2012) Don't see why some sort of specialized band saw wouldn't be able to do this.
Unearthed: 1970 Porsche 914 (May 05, 2012) Check out the tumbleweed stuck under the black Porsche in the background!
It’s a Generational Dispute: F10 BMW M5 vs. E60 M5 (May 03, 2012) Uhhh hello? Anybody remember the E28 M5?? That's the best one.
One-Off 1938 Hispano-Suiza Dubonnet Xenia Visits Jay Leno’s Garage (May 03, 2012) The French definitely were passionate about cars back then. They seem to be getting back into the swing again, thank God.
Up for Auction: 1976 Lancia Stratos 'Stradale' by Bertone (May 01, 2012) As outrageous as concept cars are these days, they'll never be THIS outrageous. One of Italy's best cars.
Watch the NYPD Stop Traffic to Pull Over a Bicycle (May 01, 2012) It's seems unfair, but necessary. There are so many of bicycles in NYC and they're not easy to spot or hear if you're not looking out for them. They can cause all kinds of havoc to drivers and pedestrians alike if they don't adhere to the rules given
Watch the NYPD Stop Traffic to Pull Over a Bicycle (May 01, 2012) Lol the guy with the iPad was about to jaywalk and he stopped cuz the cop showed up. I'm guessing NYPD gives more tickets for that than most cities too.
Because Less is More: Volkswagen Launches Polo R (Apr 29, 2012) Why don't they sell the five-door in the States?? It would be the perfect Fit, Versa, Sonic, Fiesta, Yaris, Accent, competitor. That segment is nearly white-hot with current gas prices.
Get Ready for the Apocalypse: V8 Jeep Wrangler Recon Has Got Your Back (Apr 26, 2012) Don't know why anybody cares. If we're going to die because the entire earth gets ripped apart by itself or crazy weather or gets hit by a meteor the size of Texas, there's nothing anyone can do to change it. If nothing happens, then great.
Mercedes Most Powerful C63 AMG Black Series is the DTM Safety Car (Apr 26, 2012) I don't know about meanest car ever, but this one is definitely mean mugging.
Audi R8 e-tron Shocks on the Nurburgring (Apr 25, 2012) Zero rear visibility. Hope a back-up camera comes standard if that louvered window is production spec. The car seems just about ready since they're telling everyone what it is during development. I bet it'll be great but overshadowed by the 918.
It Ain’t Dead Just Yet: Lamborghini Still Considering Estoque Sedan (Apr 25, 2012) I think it would be BA for a transversely mounted V-10, however it wouldn't be practical or a very stellar performer like it ought to be. The wow factor would be HUGE though. In any case, that rear is so nice.
Unique of the Week: 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 Y97 Package (Apr 21, 2012) I dunno. The MKI GTI was making its way to our shores, and the AE86 Corolla was actually a good, fun car. Either one would outperform this thing.
Always Prepared for a Blitzkrieg: Mercedes Launches 2013 G63/65 AMG (Apr 19, 2012) All it needs is some homemade HD bumpers, roof rack, and running boards and it's ready for the zombie apocalypse!!!
Spyker Cars Wants to be Fully Revived Once Again (Apr 19, 2012) The color is beige and if you've never seen it as a color option for interiors, then you need to GTFO.
Spyker Cars Wants to be Fully Revived Once Again (Apr 19, 2012) The greenhouse is vast, which probably makes the interior seem bigger than it is while inside.
Saleen Set to Announce All-New Car (Apr 10, 2012) Sooo aggressive....
The Mystery of Fisker's U.S. Manufacturing Facility (Apr 10, 2012) Doesn't seem much more practical than the sedan.
Lady Gaga Caught in Her New Audi R8 (Apr 10, 2012) Speaking of dumb people in cool cars, I saw that Beiber has a Fisker Karma with a chrome paint job and fuchsia underglow. Douchebag.
Lady Gaga Caught in Her New Audi R8 (Apr 10, 2012) @Aj: all we're saying is it doesn't have a clutch pedal, so technically a DCT is an automatic.
Stolen Luxury Cars Caught Leaving L.A. for Asia (Apr 10, 2012) Follow the paper trail....
Stolen Luxury Cars Caught Leaving L.A. for Asia (Apr 10, 2012) @Brad: it's a little more complicated than just paying A LOT OF MONEY to ship a car or two overseas. There's U.S. Customs, there's regulations, a lot of red tape to go through.
More Than 20 Vintage Ferraris on the Block at Monaco Auction (Apr 05, 2012) I call this one.
2013 Dodge Dart Rally Car Unveiled at New York with Travis Pastrana Video (Apr 05, 2012) Money talks, and you're profile suggests a bias towards a Subie anyway.
2014 Chevrolet Impala Fully Unveiled (Apr 05, 2012) Direct Injected 5.5L anyone?? I say that's the very least Chevy could do to make up for no RWD.
2014 Chevrolet Impala Fully Unveiled (Apr 05, 2012) What reasons? I can't think of one that seems good enough to allow this blasphemy to continue.
Lamborghini’s Army Green Aventador Ready for Action (Mar 23, 2012) US govt. should contract to buy these for our boys to use overseas lol
Suzuki Has Won the Right to Use the GTI Moniker (Mar 23, 2012) Wish we did, I constantly hear good things about it from Top Gear UK mag. It's probably because Suzuki isn't very popular here in the U.S. however, with a car like this as gas prices climb, it would be a hot seller and put them on the map here.
Video: Eric Clapton’s Bespoke Ferrari 458 Italia Leaves London Showroom (Mar 23, 2012) I like THAT grille more than current Ferrari grille designs. The FF and new Berlinetta have hideous smiles. Other than that, it's a nasty looking car, and Clapton can obviously afford to go buy a genuine classic car instead of making a crappy new one
Ferrari 458 Italia in Rare Shade of Grigio Medio (Mar 23, 2012) It looks like a custom paint job. I like it with the red interior. The PB tan interior would looks more luxurious and less sporty, but it wouldn't match the color at all. Also this is my new wallpaper.
Ferrari 458 Italia in Rare Shade of Grigio Medio (Mar 23, 2012) I want that color to be my next paint choice!
All-New Hyundai Genesis Coming in 2013 (Mar 21, 2012) I'll take this in R-Spec before I take the coupe in any spec.
All-New Hyundai Genesis Coming in 2013 (Mar 21, 2012) That face is ass ugly. Jussayin'
Toyota Prius Race Car Catches Fire, Lutz and the Volt Share a Laugh (Mar 21, 2012) If this is what the road-going version looked like, that would be sick. Alas, the normal ones are butt-ugly. This is the only Prius I find interesting.
2013 Honda Crosstour Concept Will Debut at New York (Mar 21, 2012) This and the X6, and ZDX are the answer to a question no one cared to ask.
2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and Estate F1 Safety and Med Cars (Mar 18, 2012) I wish they had these in the US. I'd buy a used one a few years from now.
They’ll Still Pull You Over: Ford Police Interceptor Receives EPA Ratings (Mar 18, 2012) NFSU:2 was the best one ever, they got worse after that. Most Wanted was bad, and so was Carbon. I haven't bought a copy of NFS since.
Novikov’s Frightening Crash (Mar 17, 2012) Function>Form in a rally race Mr. Das.
Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 Roll Off the Assembly Line (Mar 17, 2012) Except that the MX-5 seats only two and is significantly lighter.
Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 Roll Off the Assembly Line (Mar 17, 2012) The entire front of the car is different between the two. The headlight designs are even different. But that bumper opening is the largest difference that I see. The fog light and their surrounds also have different shapes.
Lamborghini Gallardo Replacement Will Feature Revolutionary Design (Mar 14, 2012) *topic, I'm still waiting for a transversely mounted V-12 in a two seat exotic named Miura.
Unique of the Week: 1962 Ford Thunderbird Roadster (Mar 10, 2012) That cover makes is look faster than it is.
Unique of the Week: 1962 Ford Thunderbird Roadster (Mar 10, 2012) By the 80s, it was all about the Lincoln Mark VII with the Mustang's 5.0 for personal luxury performance at Ford.
Unique of the Week: 1962 Ford Thunderbird Roadster (Mar 10, 2012) Look! The family across the street took delivery of a brand new....golf cart!
McLaren MP4-12C High Sport Gallery Released (Mar 04, 2012) I'll take mine in white please and thank you.
Even With a Quirky Name, the F12berlinetta Can't Stop Ferrari’s Party (Mar 03, 2012) Agreed Matthew. That small lip should've curved around a quarter of the tail lamp then gone straight down the fender/bumper, quickly fading into it.
Spied: 2013 F33 BMW 4-Series Convertible (Mar 02, 2012) They should rename the 1 Series into the 2 Series, and keep the legendary 3 Series namesake. Plus it just sounds better than 4 Series.
Toyota GT 86’s Chief Engineer Confirms Droptop in the Works (Mar 02, 2012) No little spoiler please. Looks much cleaner without.
The Packard Building Faces Demolition (Mar 02, 2012) How could they not turn this into something productive? Public housing...? I realize it would've required serious renovation, but still.
Nifty Nissan Juke Tunings (Feb 25, 2012) There's your problem: It's a Nissan Juke.
Unique of the Week: 1989 Lamborghini Countach S (Feb 25, 2012) Golf club shifter is a no-no.
New Citroen DS4 Racing Leaked Ahead of Geneva Debut (Feb 25, 2012) The most aggressive Citroen I've ever seen. Americans would buy this without even knowing who Citroen is.
Ferrari F620 GT Teased Again; Wild Speed Offers Rendering (Feb 24, 2012) Meh, I'd take a 458 Italia Challenge.
16 Fuel Cell Cars En Route to the American Navy (Feb 24, 2012) Why is this on the old Equinox body? Shouldn't they update that?
BMW Emerges as One of Several Bidders Interested in Saab (Feb 23, 2012) There was that '04 Saab wagon that was a badge engineered Impreza wagon, but I don't see Subaru anywhere on the inside or the outside of this car.
BMW Emerges as One of Several Bidders Interested in Saab (Feb 23, 2012) Truly ahead of its time.
No Gun Rack in a Chevy Volt? One Man Proves Newt Gingrich Wrong (Feb 22, 2012) I'm more interested in his taste in guns, which is obviously very good.
New Images of Bentley Continental GT and GTC V8 Revealed (Feb 20, 2012) I love the purple one, but this color is just as awesome.
New Images of Bentley Continental GT and GTC V8 Revealed (Feb 20, 2012) This one for sure. Purple is legit. I'd overlook the fact that it's a convertible because it's a purple Bentley.
The Chinese Clone the Ford F-150 (Feb 18, 2012) Typical. Companies stealing another's ideas behind the shield of the government that owns them. Just one reason why Communism is wrong.
The Chinese Clone the Ford F-150 (Feb 18, 2012) Brandon, are you a troll? FoMoCo was founded in Detroit , MI. Where did Charlotte ever play a role in Ford's history?
Chrysler Review: A Luxury GT Coupe Concept Study (Feb 18, 2012) Anybody know the status on the Ciel concept? Will anything similar to it reach production?? This is of high importance!
Video: Moving a Billionaire’s Millions Worth of Supercars (Feb 14, 2012) "Yo dawg, I heard you like Veyrons. So I got you two Veyrons so you can Veyron while you Veyron."
Flying Car Concepts (Feb 13, 2012) It would be intense to switch fluidly from flying/hovering right into driving, especially in a combat situation.
Lexus RX Facelift and RX F Sport Leaked (Feb 13, 2012) It's a shame Lexus won't commit to a true F trim like M or AMG. This is basically an appearance package. It needs to be that and more.
Vintage Aston Martin DB5 Back for James Bond’s Skyfall (Feb 13, 2012) Such a simple design, yet such a beautiful one.
Unique of the Week: 1970 Maserati Ghibli (Feb 12, 2012) Auto!? Buts it's a Maserati! Still want.
Fisker is Running into Some Money Problems - Despite Government Loans (Feb 12, 2012) It's the best looking EV aside from the Tesla roadster which doesn't count since its base off another design (Lotus).
Fisker is Running into Some Money Problems - Despite Government Loans (Feb 12, 2012) It's a silly dream for these to be more reasonable everyday cars until they establish infrastructure, ensure longevity of electric components is better than gas cars, begin training mechanics to better understand EVs, plus make electricity cheaper
