Golf R Cabrio Details Revealed (Feb 10, 2013) The GTI was never intended as a cabriolet, moreover it cannot carry the same hot hatch feel. Why don't they just create one with a moonroof or similar
VW Unveils Golf 4Motion (Jan 29, 2013) Aside from the golf, there is a gap in the market with only Audi making four wheel drive variants of all their models. I may be mistaken. I'd likewise to see a 5series 4wd, or a new Alfa q4
Aston Martin Reveals Centenary Vanquish (Jan 17, 2013) Bloody gorgeous
Mercedes Unveils New CLA in Detroit (Jan 14, 2013) Good god I might need a dictionary to guide me through mercs exhaustive and boring range
Chevy Unveils C7 Corvette Stingray (Jan 14, 2013) Nothing original here but marketing overdrive on an old concept.
McLaren 12C High Sport Turns Up in Florida (Jan 09, 2013) One of the best livery jobs ever
Jaguar Cancels C-X75 Program (Dec 11, 2012) One of my all time favourite concepts.
BMW 4 Series Coupe Leaks Ahead of Detroit Reveal (Dec 06, 2012) Agree with nick. It's a bit too much.
Ferrari F12 Berlinetta by Oakley Design (Dec 05, 2012) It would be interesting to see a great tuning house like this work with Ferrari. Sometimes it appears as though Ferrari don't go that extra 1%
Turbocharging Pioneers: Ferrari 288 GTO (Nov 25, 2012) Btw there's a great review of the car on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kr1ECmnEo0
Turbocharging Pioneers: Ferrari 288 GTO (Nov 25, 2012) This is with no questions the most beautiful car ever designed. I would sell all my teeth to have one. Even today, there isn't another car that has the poise, drama and beauty.
A New Record: 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Sold for $35 Million (Jun 03, 2012) No this one is grey with BRDC emblems. It matches the colour of his grey 458 italia, Porsche.....which suggests its been repainted ! :-( I'm not bold enough to say hello to this guy as he'll probably think I'm a nutter. Have some amazing pics though
A New Record: 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Sold for $35 Million (Jun 03, 2012) I reckon the gto sold in japan is that of a neighbor in my street here in Tokyo. Does anyone know what colour the one that was sold for 26 million? Just to verify..
Ferrari F12berlinetta Caught on the Road for the First Time Ever (May 30, 2012) Everything looks great apart from the front end. Front end doesn't have the fluidity of the 458 italia. Shame pininafarina aren't around as their design head anymore
Stunning Collection of Ferrari 599XX Evo Cars at Infineon Raceway (May 02, 2012) This lucky group of people must be testing the engine thats apparently going into the new ff12 or what's its name. The FXX program is about future ferrrari's with clientelle input.
Ferrari Celebrates Twenty Years in China with 458 Italia Special Edition (Apr 12, 2012) No I don't racism has anything to do with it. There are clearly people who believe that a tattooed Ferrari isn't authentic to the brand and that it diminishes what is already a god like vehicle. Would you give the same treatment to a classic 250GTO?
Ferrari Celebrates Twenty Years in China with 458 Italia Special Edition (Apr 11, 2012) Seriously. What the hell are Ferrari thinking? Should this apply to all Ferraris markets then?
Bugatti SUV Rendered Ridiculous by Autemo (Apr 04, 2012) While the proportions at the front maybe not quite right. The car is a damn sight more appealing than a Cayene
Lotus Suspends Development of New Models (Mar 10, 2012) I had a feeling that while Behr's plans while determined for Lotus there was a touch of reality missing. That the company couldnt afford to develop so many new models so soon. Hope it doesn't go the SAAB way it'll be very sad
Half of the Formula 1 Grid is in Financial Turmoil (Mar 05, 2012) That looks like a pig to drive. I reckon there's a ton of under steer in there, but as a huge Ferrari fan I hope to be proven wrong this season.
Raikkonen to Unveil Special Edition of F1-Inspired Lotus Evora in Geneva (Feb 29, 2012) Now I must say that driving a Lotus is an experience and a drivers car but would I buy one when they really aren't very pretty..the livery covets a pretty average if not strange vehicle.
Bling in Beijing: Lime-Green Chrome Lamborghini Murcielago (Feb 12, 2012) Looks great for a Lamborghini but not on a Ferrari
Vittoria Concept by UP Design Revealed in Qatar (Jan 26, 2012) It's not to my taste.

Report: Next Mazda6 to Debut at 2012 Paris Motor Show (Jan 23, 2012) Gorgeous. The Alfa of the East
Toyota Gets Serious with the Prius GT300 Race Car (Jan 16, 2012) Is this real or contrived - meaning the car's front end is almost identify able as a Prius, as if marketing were behind the decision.
Unique of the Week: 1969 McLaren M8C Can-Am (Jan 07, 2012) You have to see one of these old CanAm race cars on a track. The way they go corners defies belief
Video: The 2011 Collection of London’s Supercars (Dec 19, 2011) Only a buffoon and someone who thinks they have taste would...and Ferrari have themselves to blame.

Morgan Delays EvaGT Launch (Dec 17, 2011) Gorgeous and much improved

Video: Birthday Boy Simon Gets a One-Off Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (Dec 15, 2011) I find a bit sad, not the Chinese guy, but Bugatti's intent on applauding a buyer...seems a bit OTT
Video: V8-Powered 2013 Bentley Continental GT and GTC Revealed (Dec 12, 2011) It's a car that continues to grow on me everytime I see it
Ferrari FF Makes Us Green with Envy (Dec 12, 2011) It's a Mazda colour....and this is why I cannot stand the Ferrari personalisation programme
Bright Spark Ruins Ferrari 360 Spider with Flashing Lights (Dec 11, 2011) Why someone would think they could improve an original Italian with these appendages, is beyond most of us.
A Volvo P1800 Coupe for the 21st Century (Dec 11, 2011) I would love to see this car come true. The market needs more offerings by the way of cars with more flair. I would like to see more profound use of the old style in the new car. It's just gorgeous.
Video: Up Close with a Lamborghini Countach 5000S Prototype (Dec 09, 2011) Still the benchmark for what supercars should be.
Ferrari Reveal Details of ‘No Limit’ Personalization Program (Dec 09, 2011) Do we think Enzo Ferrari would have given the option to his customers? Somehow it doesnt feel right. Seems as though Ferrari are following the heard and erodes their brand equity further.
2012 Lotus Exige S Coming to the US as a Track Car (Dec 08, 2011) Dear Santa....I'd like trade in my wife and...
Video: Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Gets Extra Pair of Airbags (Dec 04, 2011) I'm really really happy the driver found some bumpy roads. If he could do it again I would request he find a road with speed humps...:-)
SEAT Look to Skoda for Inspiration (Nov 24, 2011) I agree. Very Alfa. Not that I mind at all.
Future Barn Yard Find: Nissan GT-R (Nov 21, 2011) Why do all forums descend this way. Everyone has a point and let it be. Moderator should shut this down
More Official Details and Photos of the Lotus Exige S (Nov 20, 2011) Will never forget my drive in an elise. A must do before you buy any porsche boxer. The traction and the experience is better than any car I've driven. Now this version with 345hp! Awesome
Spied: First-Ever Photos of the NEW Ferrari GT (Nov 11, 2011) That's where my king size duvet went

The Women of SEMA 2011 (Nov 09, 2011) The one on the right should feature lower profile....
Video: Fifth Gear Host Drives the Ferrari 458 Spyder (Nov 07, 2011) The fact that she was nearly in tears says captures the essence of Ferrari. I remember my first drive through the mountains in Australia and its an experience I'll never forget. What a magic brand
Video: Tuned Ferrari 458 Italia vs. Lamborghini Aventador (Nov 01, 2011) 458 twin turbo is what the GTO ought to have been.
Ferrari 458 Italia Milano by DMC is some SEMA Eye-Candy (Oct 27, 2011) It's a good job. I love the back end....never been a huge fan of the 458's rear end, somehow unbalanced and awkward compared to the gorgeous simplicity of the front.
LA Auto Show to Witness Debuts of 2012 Honda CR-V and 2013 Fit EV (Oct 26, 2011) Boring. Riding on a washing machine would be more exciting
SEMA 2011: Lexus GS 350 F Sport Package Revealed (Oct 25, 2011) Japanese cars really don't age well, especially with body kit. Not very Lexus

Report: Tesla Model X Crossover Coming Soon, Faster Model S in the Works (Oct 04, 2011) Unoriginal for a new brand with new tech costing a lot of money
Report: Alfa Romeo Planning Flagship Sedan Based on Chrysler 300 (Oct 02, 2011) Good report and opinion too. I just hope the engine has Italian DNA in it rather than a rebadge after all it's what makes an Alfa special
Some Details On The Upcoming Porsche Pajun (Oct 01, 2011) Ferdinand would turn in his grave. Given Porsches routes were in motor racing and they have no current involvement. Where is this brand's future going? Similarly with Ferari
Video: The 230mph Eight-Wheeled Electric Supercar (Sep 28, 2011) Love the idea of putting your foot down to hear something akin to a jet engine..ye ha
Frankfurt 2011: DTM 2012 Audi A5 Coupe and Mercedes AMG C-Coupe (Sep 14, 2011) Couple of child seats in the back and I'd be off to pick up the kids in this.
Frankfurt 2011: Lotus Exige S and Rallye GT (Sep 14, 2011) Soo glad to see they have put in the powerplant this model deserved all along. Awesome
Frankfurt 2011: Sebastian Vettel’s Infiniti FX Crossover (Sep 13, 2011) Minus the rear aerofoil...it's better looking then the Kubang.
Frankfurt 2011: Land Rover DC100 Defender and DC100 Sport Concepts (Sep 13, 2011) Love the hardcore version but the girly yellow thing with ground effects tray is not Defender. The guys at Khan did an excellent job. Take note landrover
Frankfurt 2011: Maserati Kubang SUV Concept (Sep 13, 2011) Not bad looking shame about the name...Kubang? Hardly quattroporte
Lead Me On: Volvo Concept You for Frankfurt Teaser Video (Sep 09, 2011) Front just doesn't bear any Volvo signature lines or cues. Very odd design
More Details and Pictures Emerge on Vettel’s Infiniti FX (Sep 08, 2011) I love this car. The japs really are creating some desirable models of late.
Merdad’s McLaren MP4-12C MehRon GT (Sep 08, 2011) Really good job. It's the emotion that the current model lacks and frankly speaking the current model is not that exciting to look at..reminds me of the old BMW M1 from behind
Video: Jaguar Reveals C-X16 Production Concept (Sep 08, 2011) Absolutely cracking. Come on boys deliver :-)
Facelifted 2013 Volvo XC90 Previewed (Sep 08, 2011) I would have expected a little more...a facelift that's barely releveny
Take My Breath Away: Maserati SUV Photo Leaked Before Frankfurt (Sep 08, 2011) Do we need another SUV with this power and that cost?
Discontinued: Alfa Romeo 159 (Sep 05, 2011) Devastated. The 159Ti was my favourite sedan of all time. Might not set the world on fire in performance but i would have loved to had owned one. What's going on at Alfa?
BMW’s Latest Technology: Laser Headlights (Sep 01, 2011) And the cost to replace something of this advanced when all its for is to illuminate road sounds stupid and very BMW
Lancia to Showcase New Models at Frankfurt (Aug 30, 2011) Such a sad demise for such a fantastic brand. When will FIAT wake up.
