What is the first thing you notice when you look at Volvo’s latest offering? The large signature LED tail lights? The strong character lines in the side profile? The 18 inch multi-spoked wheels?

The Rexall Edmonton Indy has been a part of the Edmonton summer scene since the inaugural race in 2005. This year’s event was attended by some 100,000 people at the makeshift track at City Centre Airport.

It’s here, it’s finally here. After six long years, Ferrari is set to replace its entry-level F430 with the 458 Italia. Why the newest Fezza doesn’t get the “F” designation, like its two predecessors, is a mystery that can only be answered by the men from Maranello.

As controversial as its looks may be, the Panamera is getting some pretty respectable reviews thus far. It seems to combine a previously unattainable combination of comfort, driving engagement, seating, utility, and build quality. Porsche, on its first attempt, have done something that Mercedes and BMW haven’t been able to do, even after 30+ years [...]

After a rather worrying start to the Hungaroring weekend for the Formula One paddock, Lewis Hamilton managed to stage a stunning upset in winning his first race this year. Unfortunately, celebration of such a fantastic victory was somewhat muted due to Felipe Massa’s accident. More below.

Felipe Massa was seriously injured during Q2 at Hungaroring earlier today when a spring flew off of the rear suspension of Rubens Barrichello’s Brawn GP car and through Massa’s visor, hitting him hard on the head as he tore through one of Hungaroring’s fastest sections at around 175 MPH. Afterward, he was airlifted to AEK [...]
