First Look: 2012 Honda Civic (May 19, 2011) Accord influence can been seen in the rear.
2000hp SF22 Is A Go (May 14, 2011) Chinchilla, what a funny name.
Dartz Prombron Nagel (May 10, 2011) I cut my thumb scrolling over this pic, damn car.
A New Camaro-Based GTO (May 10, 2011) As good as it looks, the GTO shouldn't be based on the Camaro. I know that's their only option, so I guess I'm saying I honestly don't approve. I think GM should've just kept Pontiac and dropped GMC, they're so limited as to what they can create.
Video: De Tomaso Pantera Spied (May 08, 2011) Well I know they won't use those old-fashioned flip-up headlamps, but they should. And they should put the Boss 302 engine in the bay; Perfect for a lightweight supercar. They also shoulda stuck closely to the profile of the original. Timeless.
Challenger 392 Kowalski Edition (May 02, 2011) @ Andy: Get the Inaugural Edition then. Let me get this one.
1939 Bugatti Type 64 (May 02, 2011) Can I has it just like this?
Rumor: Cadillac Still Looking to Develop Large Rear-Drive Sedan (Apr 29, 2011) It almost looks like a jumbo luxo coupe from this angle.
Rumor: Cadillac Still Looking to Develop Large Rear-Drive Sedan (Apr 29, 2011) I'm a little old fashioned, so I'm biased when I say that this gorgeous. Very simple and clean. No fancy gizmos here.
Rumor: Cadillac Still Looking to Develop Large Rear-Drive Sedan (Apr 29, 2011) This engine does in fact push around 1000 ponies, so it's pretty quick. But its also pretty fast at burning fuel. No way even a V10 could even make it to production. Shame.
New York 2011: 2012 Subaru Impreza (Apr 24, 2011) As ugly as I thought the last design was, this is much worse. Can't see how they'll make it look sporty for the WRX/STi.
UK Police Expo Sees Vauxhall Present Insignia Police Vehicle (Apr 16, 2011) Why do almost all Euro cops have estates?
Volkswagens New Crafter Work Van (Apr 16, 2011) First thing I noticed, Jesse. Good looking work horse.
Volkswagens New Crafter Work Van (Apr 16, 2011) That radio/nav system looks like it was lifted straight from my '04 M-B S430. Weird.
Teased: 2012 Chevrolet Malibu Interior (Apr 11, 2011) Really Chevy, a tombstone center console?? Terrible design. Hope the rest makes up for it.
Next Charger TBi Will Be Powered by an Alfa Engine (Apr 07, 2011) Wasn't necessary to do that, Dodge. Just let the Pentastar V6 be the volume powerplant, nothing wrong with that sweet mill. Also, never thought Chrysler would be the first domestic to embrace turbos in it's muscle cars.
First Look: 2012 Acura TL (Apr 06, 2011) The six-speed stick almost completely makes up for the rest of the busy interior.
First Look: 2012 Acura TL (Apr 06, 2011) I always thought it was so that you can't fix anything under there without a special tool to remove it, which only the dealerships carry. This way you have to pay them to fix your car, and not your local mechanic.
Bertone Concepts Up For Auction by RM (Apr 06, 2011) Terrible name for a concept. Still, looks captivating. I can see where the Diablo found it's taillights.
Bertone Concepts Up For Auction by RM (Apr 06, 2011) Holy cow, I knew that's how you got in. That huge window is also the door, sick.
Bertone Concepts Up For Auction by RM (Apr 06, 2011) Talk about a greenhouse! I'd love to own this for some reason.
Playboy Dream Garage (Apr 06, 2011) Much better than the current two seat roadster. I shouldve been born soo long ago.
Chrysler Teases "S" Concepts at LX Spring Festival (Apr 03, 2011) Am I the only one who heard ads about the "S" line on the radio? Been hearing about these cars for months now. Honestly thought the marketing guys made a huge mistake, putting an s in place of a c.
Renault Looking To Build The DeZir (Apr 02, 2011) Ummm, anybody remember the i8 thats coming soon? Looks exactly like that EfficientDynamics concept by BMW. Won't be cheap, but there's a concept that will make it to the showroom floor.
Video: Book About Ferrari Costs More than a Ferrari (Mar 31, 2011) From the price of the one on the next page, I'm thinking this was a typo. Either way, too damn expensive for a book. Maybe some ancient, long-lost book should cost this much.
Breaking: Tesla Sues BBCs Top Gear (Mar 31, 2011) If Tesla actually had made an EV, it would ten times more impressive than this thing. I should sue this company for giving a great man's name a poor reputation.
Koenigsegg Reveals Full Agera R Specs (Mar 25, 2011) Very original doors. Not just another scissor door exotic.
Koenigsegg Reveals Full Agera R Specs (Mar 25, 2011) Weird. Anybody know why it has a Speed Racer plate?
BMW M3 Ute (Mar 24, 2011) The only place they could think of selling this is in Oz, but they shouldn't even be doing that. BMW and ute should never be in the same phrase.
Breaking: Mercedes-Benz Reveals 2012 C63 AMG Coupe (Mar 20, 2011) @ Daniel: they are in different size classes I believe. The CTS competes more directly to the E-Class, 5 Series, and the A5/6. The upcoming ATS is aimed squarely at this, the 3 Series, and the A4/5.
Video: Lamborghini Aventador Roars to Life in Berlin (Mar 16, 2011) Hahah it makes the Murcielago look docile in comparison.
Video: Owner Beats Up Lamborghini Gallardo with a Sledgehammer (Mar 16, 2011) @ Andy: technically it's a German car based on German mechanicals. It is still built by Italians, but Germans oversee these factories. I'd call poor customer service instead. Lambo's CEO should be ashamed.
Video: Owner Beats Up Lamborghini Gallardo with a Sledgehammer (Mar 16, 2011) The best way to get back at them is to sue them in court, plain and simple. You'll get more money, and you should get a new Lamborghini, or at least be reimbursed for this lemon.
Geneva 2011: Suzuki S Concept (Mar 05, 2011) Take off the spoiler and you've got yourself a respectable little car. Put a turbo in it and you've got yourself a winner for sure.
Geneva 2011: Bertone Jaguar B99 GT Concept (Mar 05, 2011) I agree, that would be pretty sick. I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't know this was possible. Or is it not?
Geneva 2011: Ford Ranger Wildtrack (Mar 01, 2011) This not being sold in America is probably Ford's only real mistake in recent memory.
Teased 2012 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet (Feb 26, 2011) Not a fan of convertibles or cabriolets, but this is a pretty clean design.
Video: 2012 Honda Civic Si Coupe Concept (Feb 25, 2011) I'd pick an MS3 over this any day. Honda's lost their passion. Looks okay, but as a serious sports coupe, no. I liken this to a tC nowadays.
General Motors to Develop Next Generation Compact Pickup (Feb 25, 2011) Glad to see them making real decisions. This could definitely bring up their revenue being the only domestic compact with a major redesign. I've heard nothing about a redesigned Dakota for coming years.
Opel Ampera EV Police Cruiser Ready for European Streets (Feb 24, 2011) I'm guessing this won't be a pursuit vehicle. Lolololol
First Saab 9-4X Rolls On Out (Feb 24, 2011) Actually it is Cadillac's SRX, not Escalade though it would be interesting if Saab used that too for a full-size SUV.
Rebranded Luxury (Feb 20, 2011) It's ridiculous. Automakers put so much in at their cheapest cars that the real luxury cars have gone into the stratosphere in terms of gadgets and price. Am I the only one thinking this way? Oh and no radios too.
Rebranded Luxury (Feb 20, 2011) The reason this article came up at all is because for some reason, it's no longer okay to have roll up windows, manual locks, no A/C, or manual transmissions in base models of any car save a few. It's why the bottom line on base models keeps going up
Video: Chryslers $1 Billion Investment (Feb 19, 2011) Really Emily? You're going to base a companies' status on a single car? How narrow minded. The JGC is another testament to chryslers return, among a few others. This can't happen overnight mind you. Just like Toyotas rep, this rep will take some time
Video: Chryslers $1 Billion Investment (Feb 18, 2011) @ Mike H: so I guess giving even more money away to bankers who deserve it even less is a better idea. That's what your obama did. And these banks probably won't ever pay us back.
Upcoming: 2012 Kia Rio (Feb 15, 2011) I think it would look better if the grille came down more to replace that body colored part. Other than that, it's fine.
Rare 1953 Buick Skylark Convertible Up For Auction (Feb 15, 2011) I love how design back then was so simple yet so beautiful. Nowadays designers try to hard it seems.
Spied: 2012 MINI Roadster (Feb 14, 2011) No point in having camo on this car. The lines are too obvious.
As Seen in Europe: Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon & XTS (Feb 14, 2011) Awww they get 8 more ponies than we do. Another typo perhaps?
Getting To The Root Of Road Rage (Feb 13, 2011) Agree with Andy, all the way.
Nissan GT-R Egoist (Feb 13, 2011) I understand all that, guys. For a car that can be custom ordered though, I would think a full manual should be possible. Besides, every car is much more fun that way. If my car can be in the five second range AND a manual I'm happy.
Nissan GT-R Egoist (Feb 12, 2011) Thats the problem. You should be able to order with a six speed.
2012 Chevy Impala Goes On As Is, No Replacement Till 2014 (Feb 12, 2011) "It's not that bad." Try saying that while looking at this pic without laughing.
Nissan GT-R Egoist (Feb 12, 2011) Wait, this ones an automatic. You and your ego need to learn how a clutch pedal works.
Chicago 2011: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (Feb 12, 2011) I wish they understated the looks of this car. The original had the sleeper look down pat. Didn't know what it had till it smoked your ass, or you read on the hood.
Chicago 2011: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (Feb 12, 2011) Where are the dog-dish hubcaps?? Where?!
Festivals of Speed 2011 (Feb 12, 2011) Meh, just a Bugatti. Not a big deal.
Chicago 2011: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (Feb 12, 2011) "Staying true to its ancestor, the ZL1 is fitted with....Magnetic Ride Control...." WTF. The '69 ZL1 had magnetic shocks too?? We have gone nowhere in technology. This blows my mind.
Chicago 2011: Mazda Miata Special Edition (Feb 12, 2011) Cmon guys, you forget this is a special edition. Exclusivity comes at a price.
Chicago 2011: Hyundai Veloster Rally Car (Feb 12, 2011) Liked the concept more, sorry.
Chicago 2011: 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 (Feb 10, 2011) Not saying the SRT8 is ugly, but I'd rather implant that 392 into the R/T. It just looks less busy.
Chicago 2011: 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 (Feb 10, 2011) I said the same thing! Almost no one believed me either.
Chicago 2011: 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 (Feb 10, 2011) Does anyone know what is says on the hood? I'm assuming "6.4L HEMI" but I really can't read it.
Chicago 2011: 2011 Toyota Matrix Debuted (Feb 10, 2011) Hey! Isn't that a Pontiac....oh nevermind.
Chicago 2011: Turbocharged Jetta GLI (Feb 10, 2011) I agree with Ethan. The MK IV GLI was way better. Beside the looks of this one, the powerplant is lacking now. They first introduced this engine back in '06, and still makes just 200 hp. Modify it a bit VW. The MS3 has you beat by a whole 63 hp.
First Look: 2011 Dodge Charger (Feb 05, 2011) Alright Chris & Pat, both of you are incredibly ignorant. A simple search on google will reveal to you that the new HEMI is just marketing ploy like this car it inhabits. Do some research yourself, Chris, before telling someone else to.
First Look: 2011 Dodge Charger (Feb 04, 2011) Sorry Pat. The HEMI stood for hemispherical combustion chambers, which this new "HEMI" lacks. Not a true HEMI, but it's no different than the new C63 AMG that uses a 6.2 liter engine in my eyes.
First Look: 2011 Dodge Charger (Feb 04, 2011) If you guys want the old charger, you should buy one. No point in living in the past, time to press on.
First Look: 2011 Dodge Charger (Feb 04, 2011) I believe that the 6.4 liter (392) HEMI engine is the top choice, not the 6.1 liter.
1956 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Town Car (Feb 03, 2011) I might be completely off the mark, but perhaps you are talking about the 1954 Cabriolet Speciale. It was a one-off concept featured in GM's Motorama back then. If not that, then definitely the 1959 Eldorado Brougham which had a limited production.
Audi R18 Runs Around Sebring (Feb 03, 2011) Thanks for answering my question guys, but I should've asked this one instead: how will this car behave in a cross-breeze with such a profile?
Porsche Cajun Renditions Just Keep Coming (Feb 03, 2011) I think it looks pretty nice. Just change the name at the least, Porsche.
1956 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Town Car (Feb 03, 2011) I love how the exhaust is actually integrated into the rear bumper design. I just saw that again on the new top-line Mazda 6 and Buick LaCrosse. A sign that car design is truly back on the rise for some companies.
Audi R18 Runs Around Sebring (Feb 02, 2011) I still don't understand how that upright piece of bodywork....works. Can anyone elaborate for me??
1956 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Town Car (Feb 02, 2011) When American automotive engineering was at it's peak. (sigh)
Official: 2012 MBZ C63 AMG Sedan and Estate (Jan 30, 2011) Do I smell a future comparo between this and the CTS-V Sport Wagon?? I do.
Audi to Showcase High-Tech E-Toy (Jan 29, 2011) You mean anyone who's spoiled. That will cost at least a couple grand.
Tunisians Destroy Ferrari Owned by Family of Exiled President (Jan 25, 2011) @ Michael: What were you expecting the subject matter of this thread to be?? How well the car performs?? Not likely sir. Take a second to calm down and come back when you're not pissed off.
Tunisians Destroy Ferrari Owned by Family of Exiled President (Jan 24, 2011) Really? They left the nose badge?? Thats the best one IMO.
Tunisians Destroy Ferrari Owned by Family of Exiled President (Jan 24, 2011) A car that doesn't deserve the California name, shame it got trashed though.
Rumor: 2012 Camaro to Feature 330 HP LFX V6 (Jan 22, 2011) Yeah, but 23 is nowhere "around" 258, Patrick. But I do agree that no stock V6 can spin 3rd gear, aside from Jag's ol' XJ220 maybe.
Bugatti To Develop Luxury Sedan Based on Audi A8 (Jan 21, 2011) This is exactly how I want my Bugatti interior to look. Simple, yet clean. I want to watch the road, not get distracted.
Rumor: 2012 Camaro to Feature 330 HP LFX V6 (Jan 21, 2011) Where did these figures come from? This new six would only outpower the Mustang's six by around 23 ponies, not 200 and change.
Rendering of Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon Racer (Jan 16, 2011) It's already a coupe, Kenneth. Looks amazing too.
Detroit 2011: Wikispeed SGT01 Needs Funding (Jan 13, 2011) Anybody else notice the headlamp stickers are copies of a base model CTS?? Very strange.
Detroit 2011: Kia KV7 Concept (Jan 12, 2011) The biggest and on-going problem with trying to make an interior like this reach production is safety. Doubt it won't look this cool. It is cool though.
Detroit 2011: 2012 Hyundai Veloster (Jan 12, 2011) Also, no apparent space behind those generous rear seats. Looking forward to seeing the measurements on interior capacity.
Detroit 2011: 2012 Hyundai Veloster (Jan 11, 2011) The concept looked better....
No Particular Place To Go (Jan 09, 2011) I agree whole-heartedly. I had a '67 Mustang with a small 6-cyl engine and a 3-speed auto for a year or so until some kid ran into me without a license or insurance. That was my first love. Yes, it was my first car and yes I'm 18 years old.
Fiat Strada Compact Pickup for Brazil (Jan 06, 2011) Hah! A Fiat pickup on a track. How out of place.
Blast from the Past: 1970 Holden Torana GTR-X Concept (Jan 04, 2011) Yes but if you merely search for a 1970 Trans-Am in Google images you will find the exact same dash and steering wheel. Even the shifter boot is the same. Holden obviously went through Pontiac's parts bin.
Blast from the Past: 1970 Holden Torana GTR-X Concept (Dec 31, 2010) Lul at the Trans-Am dash and steering wheel.
Carbon Motors E7 Abides by the Law (Dec 30, 2010) I have yet to see one rendering of this cars back end. Is it hideous or something? Enlighten me.
