2013 Shelby GT500 and Camaro ZL1 Duel on the Track(Jun 13, 2012) I'm no engineer, but the ZL1 was purpose built for the track as in road course. I think a more fair comparison would have been vs. a Boss 302. This is just Chevy bashing comparing to a Ford advertised with more HP. Bench racers....
2013 Buick Verano Turbo Arrives with 250hp(Jun 13, 2012)Really? It's got more HP than the brainwashed BMW 3 series, a car it's not intended to compete against. Think that deserves credit. GM is marching towards conforming to CAFE standards and power for mass public appeal.
Kim Kardashian Gives Kanye West a Lamborghini Aventador(Jun 10, 2012) Not that anybody gives a $hit about garbage like this, but unless you have photos of her handing him the keys like Steven Tyler and his Venom, why publish this garbage. TMZ takes random pics on a flatbed and...?
Lexus IS F CCS-R Racecar Heading to Pikes Peak in July(Jun 09, 2012)May seem simple, but I could appreciate the spoiler sitting high enough not to impede rear visibility.
I was on my third IS before I discovered I could unlock and drop the rear headrests so I could actually SEE out the rear window.
Roush Announce RS Package for 2013 Ford Mustang V6(Jun 09, 2012)Getting spanked daily at every stoplight.
Who would drop $4K for this?
I'd rather pay for the gas to feed a 5.0 than fake my way through life driving this.
Hope nobody buys it.
Pony Car Icons, Part 6: Pontiac Firebird(Jun 03, 2012)I like that you took the time to acknowledge the Pontiac Trans Am, which gets little love. But why didn't you add photos from the other generations?
Pony Car Icons, Part 6: Pontiac Firebird(Jun 03, 2012)The 1982 Firebird set a then record for the lowest COD (coefficient of drag) in a domestically produced automobile.
Round dish style caps covered the wheels for a unique look.
Pony Car Icons, Part 6: Pontiac Firebird(Jun 03, 2012)You should have spent more time on the 2nd Gen. Here was where the monster 455 HO and 455 SD were born that made the Trans Am a legend.
Pony Car Icons, Part 6: Pontiac Firebird(Jun 03, 2012)Should have just mentioned Banshee. It would have killed the Corvette. John DeLorean knew what he was doing but GM shut him down.
Mustang Boss 302 Driven by Lottery Winner Crashed(Jun 02, 2012)This sounds communist, but as a lifelong V8 muscle car owner, there should be a competency or driving skill test required for anything north of 450HP. You can't drive a motorcycle without a special license, why not these cars too? Poor car....
Lana Del Rey Gets Under Steven Tyler’s Hennessey Venom GT Spyder(May 29, 2012)I know he's rich and famous and the cars' rare but did anyone plan for an actual license plate bring attached to it? Paper tag tapes to the back window will only last for so long, legally. Just a thought 'cause I don't see an attach point back there.
Fox Marketing’s SEMA Cars Crushed in Pennsylvania(May 29, 2012)Wow...I've got photos of all these cars taken at SEMA. Guess that's all that's left now. So strange because if you do a search for SEMA on eBay, it always turns up one-offs and concepts shown in Vegas. Should have made them production quality legal.
Would You Ever Be Caught Driving One of These Senior Citizen Cars?(May 27, 2012)Well...I unexpectedly came up on a redesigned 2013 Chevy Malibu on Friday and it looked like a$$. The "Camaro inspired tail lamps" and odd rear deck are confusing as a design.
Hopefully the upcoming Chevy SS will bring back sexy to Chevy.
Would You Ever Be Caught Driving One of These Senior Citizen Cars?(May 27, 2012)They killed the very popular LeSabre for this bland mobile. And killed themselves in this segment by doing do. Not til Buick redesigned the LaCrosse and Regal did anyone care about Buick again.
Here’s Your Weekly Industry News Roundup: May 20th - May 26th(May 27, 2012)More brainwashing of the Bring Money With cult. Let's talk about the reliability fail, the fact you don't see a lot of older BMWs on the road because they don't stand the test of time blah blah blah.
Highly overpriced cars.
BMW Introduces 2013 7-Series Facelift(May 26, 2012)There's something very Panamera until you get to the rear pillar. I love that the only "free" or "cheap" BMW is white. They have the arrogance to charge for every colour except white.
Shelby’s New Supercharger Kit Adds 300hp to GT500(May 11, 2012)I'm not a Ford person so don't take this as gospel but I also remember hearing and reading strict parameters on 5.0 engine on new Fords: you modify, you forfeit your factory warranty. That said, notice no price?
Lamborghini Urus SUV Concept Revealed(Apr 22, 2012)I'm assuming there are automated steps to get in like the Navigator or Escalade? That rear entry looks pretty high from the ground.
Lamborghini Urus SUV Concept Revealed(Apr 22, 2012)Uranus
Uterus
Urus
Don't ruin your image Lamborghini and become a laughingstock of the automotive world.
Lamborghini Urus SUV Concept Revealed(Apr 22, 2012)Seriously, is this one of the worst names ever? They need to change it because it can go bad in so many ways...
Ford Aligning 2015 Mustang with Generation Y(Apr 18, 2012)This is NOT a Mustang
Doesn't anybody remember how the Probe from the 1980s was supposed to eventually replace the Mustang?
I don't believe a word of this. Unless Ford is willing to concede the Pony market to Chevy.
Next Generation Lexus IS Caught Testing(Apr 17, 2012)Why does this say Lexus IS300 on the back?
Not a 2012 body because Lexus got rid of the LEXUS on the left trunk door.
Next Generation Lexus IS Caught Testing(Apr 16, 2012) These photos show nothing. It's an IS with some silver painted front & rear bumpers and side skirts.
I understand they're testing the drivetrain but this is much ado about nothing.
Call me when you get shots of the new body, not speculation.
Happy Easter; Now Listen to These Camaro ZL1s Rev Their V8s(Apr 08, 2012)Not for nothing but I saw and heard 3 ZR1 Vettes @ Barrett Jackson WPB yesterday and it was pure aural rape. The poor Boss 302s couldn't keep up.
Japan may have Godzilla, but nothing screams louder than a ZR1 @ WOT.
Unearthed: 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10(Mar 25, 2012)Correct. The Shelby GT1 (?) sitting in his museum in Las Vegas was a precursor to the Viper. You can see the similarities right down to the bump in the roof to allow a driver helmet.
Unearthed: 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10(Mar 25, 2012)And GM pushed him out the door. Idiots. He killed garbage and forced the rebirth of GM with hot new models in the late 2000s. Someone needs to green light passion, not just "bean counters" as Lutz was fond of calling them.
Bringing out the Big Guns: Lexus Planning a GS-F Super Sedan(Mar 25, 2012)Much better than the last generation GS. Completely digital LCD instrument panel is amazing.
I just bought an IS F Sport and the handling characteristics are night and day. I can imagine how bad a$$ this will be w/a V8.
Mercedes-Benz Finally Unveils New A-Class Hatchback(Mar 07, 2012)Admit it: you stole the entire concept from the VW Golf GTI and the Mazda 3 Hatchback. Being a Mercedes, you'll double the price and hope this actually sells.
Video: Chevrolet Test Awesomeness of Corvette ZR1 and Camaro ZL1(Mar 01, 2012)In 2001, that figure must include Pontiac because that's when I bought my 2002 Firehawk Trans Am.
Wanted to get in at least one comment that matches the article.
Resume pi$$ing contest now.
Undisguised 2013 Lexus ES Sedan Makes Shock Appearance in China(Feb 22, 2012)Not as horrid as the rear of the new Camry. This follows the flow of the GS in almost every way: front fascia, rear fascia, dash, center console.
Awesome score to leak these. Now go get some IS spy photos for us.
Undisguised 2013 Lexus ES Sedan Makes Shock Appearance in China(Feb 22, 2012)Same overall design as the GS interior. Lexus has lost their vertical center stack identity.
This is exactly what I was afraid of. New Camry is trash and Lexus will follow with same general flow on design.
