Is the Corvette Stingray Too Heavy? (May 04, 2013) I'll take the weight hit any day, this is a much better corvette than any that have come before it!
Depreciation Kings: Jaguar S-Type (Apr 30, 2013) I have always liked the S-type. It's sexy
Italdesign Parcour Hits the Track (Apr 20, 2013) I would love this car. It's not practical in any way, but I think the Middle East set would eat this thing up.
Unique of the Week: 1965 Chevy G Van Hot Rod (Apr 20, 2013) If those were the engines offered than they were not Corvair engines. The Corvair only came with flat 6.
Top 5 Sixteen-Cylinder Cars (Apr 18, 2013) It has 2 crankshafts, and 4 camshafts to reduce the possibility of flex.
Top 5 Sixteen-Cylinder Cars (Apr 18, 2013) The T does not stand for transverse. It refers to the way power is taken from the engine. Unlike the other engines in this article the power is taken from the middle of the engine.
Top 5 Convertibles That Never Were (Apr 13, 2013) I agree, they should have made this. It would have been a great car and in a class of its own.
Top 5 Market Trendsetters (Apr 10, 2013) I had one, it was a great car and yes it got excellent gas mileage
Fisker Ready to Pull the Plug? (Apr 10, 2013) Actually it was not just his right but his obligation. Fisker also knew this was coming. They could have done the right thing and given them notice. They didn't though and they knew better. They attempted to get away with it. Don't be angry at him.
Porsche Reminisces About the 917 (Apr 10, 2013) Um, these aren't 917's I think they more like late 80's early 90's prototype class cars. 962's I think. Where is their editor? These are still cool cars, just not as extreme as the 917.
Bertone Jet at Bonhams Aston Sale (Apr 10, 2013) Me too, always wanted one.
Chevy to Offer Camaro Rolling Chassis (Mar 30, 2013) Wouldn't this be considered a body in white?
Unique of the Week: 1972 Ford Ranchero GT (Mar 30, 2013) Alas that is the problem with ranchero's. every owner thinks they are worth their weight in gold.
Unique of the Week: 1972 Ford Ranchero GT (Mar 30, 2013) I had a 74, loved that car, though the 72-3 was better looking. Especially the GT.
Scion Brings Updated tC to New York (Mar 28, 2013) No it's just ugly, this generation always has looked odd but this is worse, not better.
Scion Brings Updated tC to New York (Mar 28, 2013) I'm sorry but that's stupid! I've hated this generation since it arrived and this "update" only makes it uglier.
Vauxhall Launches VXR8 Tourer (Mar 28, 2013) Ostrich wings? Um, EMU's are from Australia! Not Ostriches.
Defunct US Carmakers: Studebaker (Mar 28, 2013) Um, it's spelled Avanti folks.
Defunct US Carmakers: Studebaker (Mar 28, 2013) Yeah, I agree. I looked at this picture and said "that's a Chevy". There needs to be more editing done. Not for content but to ensure that what is thee is correct.
TRD Reveals $26k FR-S Supercharger (Mar 21, 2013) I'm sorry but that is fucking stupid!
5 Supercars That Never Made It (Mar 19, 2013) They forgot the Cadillac Cien. That car was awesome as well!
1963 Buick Riviera by Fesler (Mar 15, 2013) Once again they could have done so much more!
1963 Buick Riviera by Fesler (Mar 15, 2013) I love these '65s and this one certainly has that evil vibe! For a showcar the wheel diameter is fine, I'd come down to an 18" for the street though. They could have pushed this farther, though no one seems to with these cars. Too bad.
DeltaWing Coupe Revealed (Mar 15, 2013) Glad to see them still pushing forward!
Old Golf Packs 736 Horsepower (Mar 13, 2013) Props to him for making that much power...however, he's got ungodly amounts of oversteer and with a roll cage in a street car it's the roll cage itself that is likely to kill you in a wreck especially without padding if your not wearing a helmet.
Koenigsegg Hundra Rolls into Geneva (Mar 06, 2013) These are all pre-preg parts there is no gel coat, they are not varnished either. They should get their facts straight. My guess is they are using a high end automotive clear coat.
The Chinese Are Building Lambos (Mar 02, 2013) Wyatt I couldn't agree with you more! My question is what engine are they going to use? That thing is going to be heavy!!!!!
The Chinese Are Building Lambos (Mar 02, 2013) I understand the haters points but you have to admit whoever is creating this is doing a hell of a good job!
Why the Countach Was Simply Outrageous (Mar 01, 2013) There is one just like this in my neighborhood!
President Putin Wants a New Limo (Feb 28, 2013) This design looks like a Russian limo, kind of a cross between a GAZ and a Zil.
President Putin Wants a New Limo (Feb 28, 2013) This design looks the best in my opinion.
Chevrolet SS Not Coming to Canada, Israel (Feb 24, 2013) That is just silly! Jewish people are not stupid. If it was really that big of an issue then new Super Sport badges could be used. We never had major issues here back in the 60's at the SS's heyday, why such a big deal now. Weird!
This Is The 2014 Jeep Cherokee (Feb 24, 2013) If a buyer wants an off road vehicle Jeep has lots of those. This vehicle will fulfill the needs of those who want something bold, something different without having to give up all the other SUV traits. I think it was a smart move by Jeep.
This Is The 2014 Jeep Cherokee (Feb 24, 2013) If I did not know that this was a Jeep I would love it. Knowing that it is a Jeep I still like it, it's bold and to be honest, it will fulfill most buyers needs better than a more off road biased vehicle would.
Unique of the Week: 1969 De Tomaso Mangusta (Feb 23, 2013) These cars are beautiful in person and in pictures!
This Is What Ukrainian Roads Are Like (Feb 22, 2013) That is totally ridiculous!
Ford Considering New Unibody Ranger? (Feb 22, 2013) I agree, they should have had this here from the start. Why develop a whole new vehicle when one that fills the wants of the buyer is already in production? Stupid, I want this truck. Too bad they don't sell it in Canada.
Cars That Won't Die: Hindustan Ambassador (Feb 17, 2013) Yeah and then I saw the gas tank location. Scary!
Aston Vanquish Volante Up Close (Feb 17, 2013) Is the front wing/fender crumpled too?!
Aston Vanquish Volante Up Close (Feb 17, 2013) WTF happened to the door?!
Fast & Furious 6 Extended Trailer Kicks Ass (Feb 06, 2013) They really stepped up their game with the last movie, I'm glad to see they have continued the trend. This should be a great car movie! Maybe not Oscar worthy but still a great movie. To all the FF haters out there, relax its a car movie.
BMW 5-Series by Carlex Design (Feb 06, 2013) This is awful! Totally riced out.
DRT: RENNtech E63 AMG vs. Tesla Model S (Feb 05, 2013) Um guys there was something wrong here. That Tesla should have won hands down. My guess is the driver realized his mistake and backed off. Last week a Tesla just handed a Viper it's hat. This is a bogus win for the Mercedes. Sorry.
European Luxury Sedans: Porsche Panamera (Feb 02, 2013) I'm sorry but all I see is classic Porsche bubble butt styling. I love it and don't understand what all the fuss is about. I loved the 928 though.
Unearthed: 1973 Iso Rivolta Fidia (Jan 26, 2013) OMG what happened to the wiring. That is not the way they looked stock. And the engine could look WAY better.
Unearthed: 1973 Iso Rivolta Fidia (Jan 26, 2013) This is the first I've seen in years.
Unearthed: 1973 Iso Rivolta Fidia (Jan 26, 2013) Yes it is but this is much more unique. I've been looking for one for some time. Think American engined Maserati sedan.
Top 5 1000-HP Supercars (Jan 25, 2013) Is it just me or does it look like the jolly green frickin' giant sat on the front end of these things? First time I saw one I thought they had taken the hood out of the mold too soon.! It's replacement is much better looking!
BAC Mono US Premiere at Cars and Coffee Irvine (Jan 20, 2013) That is a Vector, second version of this car if I'm not mistaken.
Nissan Confirms Baby 370Z is Coming (Jan 17, 2013) What about the Silvia platform? Or a downsized Z platform for that matter? The S12, R31 and Z31 shared a ton of components. So why not do the same thing now?
Chrysler 300S Turbine Pays Tribute to Original (Jan 17, 2013) I like it, but I'd like it more on a gloss metallic bronze.
Shelby Reveals Tuned Focus ST (Jan 16, 2013) Um, aren't most of us tired of the fake carbon fiber? If your not going to do the real thing Shelby, don't insult us by slapping some stickers on it and expecting a positive reaction. We want mods that are going to make it a better performing car.
2014 Cadillac ELR Breaks Cover (Jan 15, 2013) I bet it has as good or better legroom as the Volt. Same platform remember?
2014 Cadillac ELR Breaks Cover (Jan 15, 2013) Actually beige sucks except in the showroom. This color will mellow with time and get lighter in the wear areas, taking on a rich patina. Beige just gets dirty.
Chevy Unveils C7 Corvette Stingray (Jan 14, 2013) Wow, uh it is better than the C6 but do they even look at the competitions interiors? This is so much worse than it could have been. They had a chance to really knock it out of the park and once again it disappoints.
Toyota Unveils GT86xStyle Cb Concept (Jan 12, 2013) As far as I can tell this is a better looking car. The picture angles suck though so its hard to make a final judgement.
DRIVE Goes Behind the Scenes at Koenigsegg HQ (Jan 11, 2013) As a former composite tech I can tell you these folks are true artists. Pagani is the only other manufacturer that I would put in the same league. Everyone else is playing catch up.
Venom GT Breaks 0-186mph World Record (Jan 11, 2013) One of my all time favs
Nissan Posts 7:19.1 Ring Lap in Latest GT-R (Jan 11, 2013) You know it's funny, I still get excited every time I see one on the road.
Two Jeeps Merged into Widebody Monster (Jan 10, 2013) Wow...that is truly stupid!
Stripper's Supra Stolen, Found Stripped Too (Jan 10, 2013) Wow that really is messed up. I've actually followed Ms. Barton's buildup for some time. This must be heartbreaking for her. I'd hate to be the guys who did this if the wrong people find out who they are.
Cars that Defied the Norm: Chrysler Turbine Car (Jan 08, 2013) Actually the exhaust was cooler at the tailpipe than a normal car. Do your research carbuzz.
Unique of the Week: 1991 Alfa 164 (Jan 05, 2013) I don't know. The 4 cylinders are pretty nice looking too.
Unique of the Week: 1991 Alfa 164 (Jan 05, 2013) Trickle sales of the 8C coupe and convertible, and the 4C are not going to satisfy us. They are already here, just not in realistic numbers. I want to know when I can go into an Alfa dealer and buy a car and not go to a specialist to track one down.
Takata Racing FR-S by Fox Marketing (Jan 03, 2013) That may be what the article says buy they sure do look an awful lot like custom Cobra's to me. Dumbass!
Top 5 New Supercars of 2012 (Dec 31, 2012) Actually the hood one of the most developed pieces of body work on the car. It is quiet frankly one of the top reasons why I love this version so much. Just because you don't like it does not mean you have to comment.
Famous for Catching Fire: Ford Pinto (Dec 26, 2012) I agree, looks like fun!
5 Great American Concepts That Never Made It (Dec 20, 2012) Actually William if you knew anything about Fords recent history you would know that Aston Martin ended up with this engine. Quite the engine it ended up being too!
Infiniti Changing Names for 2014 (Dec 18, 2012) I have never had any issues with identifying or remembering the hierarchy of Infinity's vehicle lineup. This is stupid!
A1 Quattro Beats GT-R in the Wet (Dec 07, 2012) I love those wheels!
Mustang to Remain Ford's Top Gun (Dec 01, 2012) I would buy the Capri over a Mustang personally. I had a 73 Capri and that thing was a blast!
Unearthed: 1996 Nissan 240SX (Dec 01, 2012) We had several other generations of this platform previous to this. The 200SX from 1984-1988 was a great car and respected in its day and the two generations previous were innovative for their time.
Nissan 240SX May Return as a GT86 Rival (Nov 30, 2012) The "Silvia" platform was in the US long before 1988. We also had the 3 previous generations. Great cars all!
Shelby Planning Debuts for Detroit, Chicago and NY (Nov 25, 2012) It was a Ford concept based on the Ford GT architecture but front instead of mid engined. Don't ask me I didn't get it when I heard it either. Always thought it was beautiful myself. Was supposed to be a modern take on the Shelby Daytona Coupe.
Cadillac ATS by D3 Group (Nov 24, 2012) Wow I like it the way it is. It would look stupid with larger wheels. It already sits too low to be a comfortable street car. Looks mean though.
Mazda Considering Premium Hatch? (Nov 07, 2012) No it's actually kind of sexy in person. Very curvy, yet refined for a hatchback.
SSC Introduces Ultimate Aero XT (Aug 04, 2012) Am I the only one who thinks that it looks like someone sat on the front of this car and caved it in. The front has always been my least favorite part of these cars.
Least Boring Family Cars: Dodge Magnum SRT8 (Aug 01, 2012) I drive a 77 Chevy Caprice Classic and I have never driven a car that has gotten more attention. Wagons are cool and the magnum and CTS prove it.
BMW Brings its Art Cars to London (Jul 24, 2012) This is my second favorite
BMW Brings its Art Cars to London (Jul 24, 2012) This one is my favorite.
Will Volkswagen Buy Lotus? (Jul 24, 2012) What an excellent idea! Then Lotus could stop looking to the Japanese for engines! This is a great idea!
Playboy Bunny Gets Hot with Gallardos... in English (Jul 17, 2012) I think most of us would love to have a woman in our lives that loved cars as much as she does. The fact that she is totally smokin' hot just adds to her allure!
Wiesmann Considers Putting Spyder Concept into Production (Jul 17, 2012) I thought they were Dutch?
Smaller Engines for Future Astons? (Jul 17, 2012) I would love to see them return to inline 6's. They could easily use forced induction to keep the horsepower up but also offer a normally aspirated choice for those not needing the uber power, without giving up the smooth running characteristics.
Ugly as Sin Exotic Cars (Jul 10, 2012) Ok, I agree. This car is just plain weird looking.
Ugly as Sin Exotic Cars (Jul 10, 2012) OMG, these guys are insane. Next they will tell us how ugly the Pagani Zonda is, and that car is utterly sexy!
Ugly as Sin Exotic Cars (Jul 10, 2012) I always thought they were kind of badass.
Ugly as Sin Exotic Cars (Jul 10, 2012) I have one in our neighborhood too! Lol
Ugly as Sin Exotic Cars (Jul 10, 2012) I have to agree with most of these comments. Yes, it's massive, it's awesome (in the classic and modern sense) and if you have ever actually seen one it is truly striking. Yes the tires are huge! They are the original pirelli scorpions!
"Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" with Jerry Seinfeld (Jul 06, 2012) Ricky is not just a car guy but one hell of a driver as well! Check him out on Top Gear UK!
Five Decades of Building the Batmobile (Jul 06, 2012) Ok maybe not the best batmobile but it fits in with the newest movies perfectly and the older cars would not. I for one would drive this car daily if given the chance. Pure sex!
Five Decades of Building the Batmobile (Jul 06, 2012) This was my favorite till the tumbler hit the big screen. This one was by far the best of this range though.
RIP: Sergio Pininfarina, 1926-2012 (Jul 03, 2012) I'm sorry but ever since Ferrari stopped using them their cars have gotten downright ugly. At least when they were doing the styling the cars had a soul, they were rolling art. They have become Italian appliances. I'd rather own a Lamborghini.
Weekly DFA: Only 76 Aston Martin One-77s Left After Hong Kong Crash (May 29, 2012) All I can say is "ASS-HOLE! I realize that it's a high performance car and all but damn, there are only ever going to be 77 of these rolling pieces of art! Please, for the sake of those of us who will never own or perhaps even SEE one, be carefull!
Take Your Pick: 2013 NASCAR Toyota Camry or Ford Fusion (May 24, 2012) Without a doubt I choose the fusion. Very aggressive looking!
Office-K Works on a Mansory Bentley Continental GTC (Jan 29, 2012) Ok folks that is not carbon fiber that is an aluminized glass fiber called Texalium. It weights more than standard fiberglass and that thing is covered in it. This is horrendous!
