On the heels of such exciting news as we revealed to you a couple days ago, there is, of course, always a “but.” It’s not a very big one, though. It’s a rather small, cute one, in fact. If what Automotive News and AutoWeek are saying is true, and the new Chriat lineup does look [...]

It’s amazing that after over 20 years, the BMW M3 is still the premium sports coupe that everybody’s trying to beat. What’s also amazing is that they’re chasing a moving target. Compare the original, light and lithe four-cylinder E30 M3 with the latest V8-powered pavement-pounding E92, and they’re very different automobiles. They’re both M3’s, just [...]

That title was an absurd mouthful, but I couldn’t think of any way to shorten it up. Sorry. I know, we didn’t see another 911 variant coming either! Although that video of those people being ripped around the track in this car might have given it away. Maybe not though. Well here it [...]

Surprisingly, in a global economic downturn, people stop buying tasteless, half a million dollar cars. The world’s worst styled multi-millionaires have decided that, given their current financial situations, that they would have to give up a luxury or two, and it wasn’t going to be weekly $500 haircuts. As such, Maybach’s gadget filled super-limo’s sales have dropped from 400 in 2007 to 300 in 2008. Maybach seems not to have noticed. More after the jump.

Since you have finally decided now is the time to buy your Porsche 911 GT2, knowing that is is the fastest one, I give you these pictures. Here is the next generation 911. Now you know that if you bought the current generation GT2, you would just spend your time looking at it and thinking, “I only have a 997, not a 998.” Your shame would then be so great that you would either retire to the Yukon, or commit honorable seppuku.

SkinzWraps, a company specializing in advertising wraps for cars, has created a subsidiary with a product that probably doesn’t work. FastSkinz is a patent pending “vehicle wrap system” (read “big piece of vinyl”) with dimples all over it. Then one will have dimples all over one’s car, which the company insists is a good thing. More after the jump.

A long time ago in a kingdom far, far away that was called the 1990s, there was an indie band called Lush. Why do I mention them here when this is a car blog? Because they recorded what, to my knowledge, is the only love song ever written to and about the Fiat 500. My [...]
