Almost An Audi Super Car »

The new Audi A6 is quite possibly the most potent Audi you can buy, less the R8 super car. The Audi A6 is part of the manufacturers ‘S’ line of vehicles and comes with all the go fast goodies you can think of, including a V-8!
The Audi A6 lays down 350 hp thanks to a [...]

2008 Mitsubishi Prototype-S »

It’s a new racy hatchback in response to the failed acceptance of the last ’sport-back’ Lancer that was available in the U.S. Equipped with a turbo charged 2.0 4 cylinder, capable of 230+ hp.

The part that sucks, is that the U.S. never gets a potent finished model like this. Hopefully it won’t be too dumbed [...]

$228,000 Dodge Challenger Sold on eBay »

Is there any question that the new 2008 Dodge Challenger will be a hot item? No, but Jesus Mary and Joseph, a special edition 2008 Challenger sold on eBay for $228,143.43…eeek! Granted, this special edition muscle car features a custom B5 blue paint scheme and comes complete with 2 VIP tickets to the Challenger 500 [...]

2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 »

Dodge is known for the SRT series of vehicles, always being a step above their basic counter parts. Earlier this year Dodge released the Caliber SRT4, with the expected visual stylings, tuning, and attitude you would expect. Think grocery getter on steroids.
The engine compartment of the Caliber SRT4 receives a turbo charged inline 4 cylinder, [...]

2008 Lexus LX 570 SUV »

Bringing a luxury SUV to the wealthy and/or those of us who don’t mind getting in debt up to our eyeballs. It’s sophistication(far more than this site has), luxury, and more bling than you can shake a $74,000 stick at. But I digress, I’d be driving the 2008 Lexus LX 570 if I had the [...]

Ford Recalls 180,000 SUVs »

Recalls galore, with rather important possible failures, including a fuel line and interior door handles.  The recall indludes the Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and E-Series Vans. The Ford recall includes all model years 2007-2008.
The problem could prevent the door handles from returning to a closed position, but the latches work properly, said Ford spokesman Wes [...]

2009 Mercedes CLK »

All there we got are rumors about the plant in this bad boy, but it looks like the V6 will remain the standard and the 2009 Mercedes CLK will continue with an optional 5.5l V8. In regards to the 09 CLK, rumor has it there may be a 4matic optional transmission, but expect a base [...]

2009 Nissan Maxima Spy Shots »

Spy photos of the next 2009 Nissan Maxima during testing this week. A few things to notice about the 09 Maxima is that it will be slightly larger than previous years and a redesigned flat grill. There may be more lurking under the camo, but that’s all we can see for now in this upcoming [...]

Record Loss for GM in 07 »

Domestics make the world go round and hearing of such a staggering loss makes me weep. For North American car manufacturer General Motors this was an expected announcement, based on 07 quarter reports, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. $38.7 to the red side of the spectrum is no way to end a [...]

New Suzuki SV650 »

Back in the day I had one of these torque monsters (relative to it’s size) and it was a phenomenal bike to drive. I couldn’t bring myself to adopt the Harley type bikes, nor did I particularly enjoy the high pitched whine of a crotch rocket, but the Suzuki SV650 made a nice compromise to [...]
