First Live Pictures of New Aston Martin Vanquish(Jun 22, 2012)Aston has figured out a great formula for their vehicles: stunning (would never change the styling too drastically from one gen to next) yet with excellent interiors, exhaust sounds, and plenty of potential left in V12 for further tweaks. I approve.
Volvo S60 Polestar Concept Sells for $300,000(Jun 22, 2012)Am I misinterpreting the article or does it basically suggest that the $300,000 dollar Volvo is competing with the well under $100k M3??
Chris Harris Tells the Story of the 2013 Audi RS4(Jun 21, 2012)From all the reviews I've seen on new RS4, it's not that the car doesn't appear to be a good car, but that it didn't quite live up to expectations that the B7 RS4 was able to establish. Audi needed a more substantial improvement over prev. gen.
Motor Trend Compares BMW 335i Against Audi S4(Jun 20, 2012)@Cristian, cont... S4 vs 335i, S6 versus 550i, and so on. Audi's RS class competes with M division offerings as of today. Hopefully that clears it up a bit.
Motor Trend Compares BMW 335i Against Audi S4(Jun 20, 2012)@Cristian, actually that is incorrect. It was correct at one time when E46 M3 was in production and B6 S4 came out shortly after. Those two were competitors. However, today's S class Audi competes with BMW's highest non-M division offering.
Motor Trend Compares BMW 335i Against Audi S4(Jun 20, 2012)@Neall, this is the appropriate comparison based on both horsepower and price. M3 vs S4 wouldn't really be apples to apples. New M3 vs new RS4 which are yet to come out would be an appropriate comparison on the other hand. That will b nice to see.
Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition Makes Premier Delivery in Europe(Apr 16, 2012)@scott, agreed. Too many ppl posting are under assumption that price tag is a big factor for the target market of this car. Exclusivity is likely a larger factor. Many ppl wouldn't be caught dead in a vette, regardless of performance.
AMS Alpha Omega GT-R Top Speed: 233 MPH(Apr 04, 2012)GT-R further and further impresses me. It not only appears like it's best bang for buck, stock, but also if you want to tune it, it seems very favorable for that as well.
Video: Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 Heads to the Track(Mar 27, 2012)1:36 mark, you can see that those brakes are really put through the works by how much they are glowing. ...Very impressive car, this.
Porsche Contemplates Dropping Manual for 2013 Porsche 911 GT3(Feb 16, 2012)"back in my day, when I was a young boy,...." is what some of you sound like with nostalgic manual arguments...like my grand pa'... Pdk is faster and better performance. End of story.
Audi TT RS Plus Produces 360hp; Makes its Debut with Mega-Gallery(Feb 13, 2012)Where is this M3 quicker around the track coming from? If TT-RS accelerates quicker AND is lighter, then why such an assumption? Of course there are other variables that go into making a quick lap, but with weight and accel., I don't see how someone can say with any certainty M3 would be better ( or even close ) to RS, especially since he/she likely had never driven one.
First Production Photos of Aston Martin V12 Zagato(Feb 05, 2012)Aesthetically, the car is perfect without the wing. However, considering that it brings handling performance, I'd like it of it could be retractable. Otherwise, perfect.
Special Edition Audi S5 Coupe Marks End of V8 Power(Jan 19, 2012)@Tony, correct. Beside S4s (B8 platform) that engine is also used in A5, A6, and for Porche Cayenne S Hybrid. Probably will replace all Audi engines which have V8s as one of the performance options.
Audi Announces New A3, Facelifted R8, E-tron Coming in 2012(Dec 29, 2011)I love when ppl like Carlos start magazine racing. By your standards, a 911 is a turd compared to Nissan GT-R. And a Nissan GT-R is a turd compared to modded Civic.And a civic is a turd compared to really modded up Pinto...Diff strokes 4 diff folks.
Spied: BMW i8 Production Prototype(Dec 27, 2011)The whole thing is looking ugly, starting with the headlights. And BMW loses serious points if they start naming their cars i8 this and iCrap that.
Koenigsegg CCX Loses Control in Long Island(Dec 14, 2011)The saying often comes to mind when I see something like this:"your driving ability does not increase with your wallet size."
Ferrari Reveal Details of ‘No Limit’ Personalization Program(Dec 07, 2011)I understand this is news because it's Ferrari, but these kind of options have already been the norm for some time with Porche, Audi, BMW and Mercedes, just to name a few.And I don't mean regular options, but full on. U can choose color of stitches.
Ferrari F40 Totaled by the Teutons in Southern Germany(Nov 16, 2011)You mean to tell me that an 80 year old man was incapable of handling one of the fastest cars ever produced without any of today's driver aids? I'm shocked.
Weekend Special: The Internet's Best Photos of the Week(Oct 28, 2011)This crash is easier for me to take because he was using the car for actual racing. It would be a lot different if it was like that idiot that drove his Bugatti into the water because he was distracted while looking at flamingos.
Weekend Special: The Internet's Best Photos of the Week(Oct 28, 2011)Now we will get the turbo 6cylinder in 2013 and I'm very curious to hear and see the difference. Big reason loving F1 is the great performance and sound... Now they will downgrade on both with new engine.
Weekend Special: The Internet's Best Photos of the Week(Oct 28, 2011)I had read that somewhere also, that Audi would jump in if switch was made to turbo 4 cylinders. But to tell you the truth, I really wanted F1 to keep the V8s. I want Audi in but turbo 4 wouldve been too drastic of a switch and lowered performance.
Weekend Special: The Internet's Best Photos of the Week(Oct 28, 2011)Alright Audi!! Been a real good year in DTM. Wish Audi was jumping into F1 along with BMW (who pulled out of F1 this year) and Porche. I'd like to see all the Germans on that level of competition instead of just Mercedes.
Report: Audi TT-RS Plus Coming Next Year(Oct 25, 2011)I'd take TT-RS over 1M, easy! Way way better performance figures and Audi interiors are unmatched. Besides, the exterior styling is great.
BMW M3 DTM Unveiled with Full M Performance Gear(Oct 24, 2011)M3 the dominant one?... Better check those DTM standings again ... Audi is the one that dominates. Out of those three, and NOT their street legal versions, I'd take the Audi.
Video: LED Panel in your Rear Tells Other Drivers to Steer Clear(Oct 24, 2011)I don't think this is a good idea. It's bad enough to endure a bumper with 100 stickers flaunting a message most dont care about, but now you want to allow people to type messages? Can you imagine the word choices? This could get real ugly.
BMW 3-Series Revealed Online(Oct 14, 2011)Looks very much like the current 5 and 7 series styling, just smaller.
Audi Rolls Out Their e-tron Spyder(Oct 12, 2011)Good question. But I would guess LEDs considering that Audi constantly touts their LED technology as both a selling point and how advanced they are technically in that area.
Audi Rolls Out Their e-tron Spyder(Oct 12, 2011)None of the comments relating to similarities with Gallardo or Porsche should be surprising. All those brands are pretty much owned by WV, and it's no secret that they take concepts out of one car and interchange with another. In the end, looks good.
Audi Rolls Out Their e-tron Spyder(Oct 12, 2011)@Aaron, Audi is well known for understating performance figures. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the actual figures, once tested by various magazine journalists, were closet to 3.9-4.0sec 0-60mph times.
Tuning House Hofele Design Release Audi A8 Package called the SR8(Oct 12, 2011)In Audi circles, Hofele is not regarded among the best tuners or high quality parts manufacturer. #1 complaint I've read/heard about is filament issues and poor quality of materials used.
Proposed New Supra Rendered(Sep 30, 2011)This isn't new. It's already on the market. It's called Nissan 370.
MKB Beats Mercedes to a V12 GL 500(Sep 29, 2011)I.... Don't.... Think.... So. I don't care how much money you have, you are a fool if you are willing to spend this much on something that possibly won't even be as good as mercedes new model once it comes out for 1/3 the price. A fool.
Drag Race Tuesdays: Nissan GT-R vs. Lamborghini Aventador(Sep 27, 2011)Heavily modded or no, Nissan GT-R is eating everything up. I want to see a video where one of these GT-Rs is racing a 1000hp heavily modded Gallardo. Underground Racing or some rich guy/prince has to have one.
