The streets (or streetz) of Edmonton are rarely littered with anything of interest for car aficionados. But every now and again, something will snap your head and make you take notice.

Go waste an hour or two configuring ze people’s hatch! I say the GTI looks best in black (brings out the red details on the grill) and the Golf in Blue Graphite. Not to say that the red GTI isn’t pretty too. What say you? Check out the GTI here and the Golf here.

No, I’m not the best, but thank you for asking. Our very own Mark Atkinson (on left), who has only been writing sparsely of late because he is a new father, came in first runner-up in the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) Journalist of the Year competition.

In case you’ve been living in the dark for the last few weeks, GM has been pumping up its Cadillac CTS-V Challenge at Monticello Raceway just outside New York City. The “May The Best Car Win” campaign is spearheaded by none other than Maximum Bob Lutz, who will be behind the wheel of a CTS-V. [...]

Porsche zealots aren’t gonna like this bit of news. Not one bit. Autocar UK is reporting that over the next 3-4 years, Porsche is going to introduce a host of new engines and new models.
