Today is a big day at CarEnvy because Jonathan is the second new writer that we are announcing. I’d like you all to give a warm welcome to Jonathan Bush, a man that has tinkered with everything from “Datsuns, Fiats, Volkswagens to the current revolving door of orphan BMWs”. Let’s say you were one of [...]

The Bentley Continental Supersports debuts at the Geneva Auto Show. Not only is it fast, but it also has a “green” angle, a new marketing tool for Bentley. The problem is, the Continental Supersports is not exactly the epitome of the green movement, and actually may take it back a bit.

In the world of motoring, there is a bit of a holy grail. It is the car than can do anything. A Lotus is a track monster but cup holders cost extra, a Maybach is no fun to drive, but good for the man in back, a Jetta is practical, but intensely boring. The ideal car would have to have the good parts of all three of these types of vehicles, but without any of the down sides. This is the holy grail of motoring: the luxury race-car that can be taken to the grocery store. It needs to seat five comfortably, it needs to handle like it seats two uncomfortably, it needs to have enough trunk space for some luggage, or a full load of groceries, it needs to feel good on the inside, it needs to look good on the outside, and it needs to be fast. The Maserati Quattroporte GT S may very well be this car. I’ll tell you why after the jump.

Jalopnik went to the Sno*Drift Rally in Michigan last month and compiled this nice little video for us. Racers at the event included Ken Block, Travis Pastrana, Dave Mirra, Andrew Comrie-Picard, Christian Edstrom, and Tanner Foust. Pretty solid. It’s Friday and I’m still beat after a couple days of skiing North America’s longest vertical descent [...]

The boys at Fifth Gear have always lived in the shadow of the boys at Top Gear. Some people feel that this is unjust and that both programs are useful. Top Gear is seen to be more entertaining and Fifth Gear is seen to be more informative. Since both parties have chosen the media of [...]

Here at CarEnvy, we like our Volkswagens. In fact, I think that the majority of the writers drive them. Strange but true. It’s not a pre-req for writing for us, but we’re thinking of implementing it as a rule in the near future. Turns out that Croatians like VWs too! A couple of them even [...]

This just looks goofy. Surprisingly, this doesn’t take place in Britain though, where people will tow anything with anything if they can figure out how. Seriously though, who would have thought Maserati would have even included a tow point. Thanks to Brad Sandoe for the tip. [YouTube]

The Audi TT has, largely because of its success, spawned a large number of variants over the years. Audi just revealed another one: the Audi TT RS, also known as “the really fast one.” It’s got a more powerful engine (shocking I know), as well as some other goodies. Details after the jump.

What you see here isn’t a poorly photochopped Audi Q7. No, what you see here is a sneak peak at the 2010 Kia Sorento featuring Kia’s new corporate grille courtesy of Peter Schreyer. Peter who? Peter Schreyer. I know his name sounds kind of German for someone who designs Korean cars, but that’s because he [...]

The Fuji Speedway is a tricky track on the driest day. Alas, it is no match for the mighty Godzilla, much less one tuned by the infamous HKS. But Fuji Speedway has a trick up its sleeve: snow! So how will the GT570 handle the slick Speedway? Watch the video, duh. Also, this is how [...]
