Top Gear Says Lancia Is The Best Automaker. Ever.

Ok, that’s not an exact quote, but Episode 3, which aired last night, was the best of Season 14 thus far. If you haven’t seen it yet, go here and enjoy it. Am I the only one who noticed the increasing friction between Jeremy and James? If looks could kill, Jeremy would be deader than [...]

2011 Ford Mustang V6 To Get New Engine, Performance Package.

Even though the new Ford Mustang was just just released a few months ago, Ford is already drastically reworking for the LA Auto Show. The 2010 model sports a 4.0 V6 which only manages a disappointing 210 horses. If ze Germans can get the same output from a two liter, Ford’s engineers need to get their act together. Luckily, they just told us that they have. Find out how after the jump.

Rallye du Var: Rally Prowess Runs in the Loeb Family

What’s that, you say? No 2009 WRC round in France? That’s OK. French fans instead got a treat when multiple world champion Sebastien Loeb brought the show to them once again, at the ultimate round of the French National Championship at Rallye du Var. Follow the jump for more.

Geely Almost Proud New Swedish Car Company Owners

Ford is apparently pretty serious about finding a new home for Volvo—so serious, in fact, that it seems a tentative agreement has now been reached between it and “preferred bidder” Geely, of the People’s Republic of China. More after the jump.

Review: 2009 Porsche Panamera Turbo

Let’s get this one out of the way early: Yes, the Panamera is all Porsche, and deserves its place among the rest of the brand’s revered portfolio. Ignore all the little voices chirping on about how since it has four doors, it can’t be a Porsche. Screw the voices – think of the Panamera as [...]

Video: 2011 Kia Cadenza – How Very… German?

Say goodbye to Kia’s hackazoarus E-Class poseur, the Amanti, and say hello to the Cadenza (which looks remarkably like the KND-5 concept we saw in April). If you’re wondering why it looks so sharp, so Teutonic, look no further than Kia’s current design director Peter Schreyer. On this man’s back alone, Kia is poised to [...]

For Sale: 1988 BMW M6

Just look at the size of that greenhouse! You could fit Rita McNeil through that window! Uninterested in the 500 hp 5.0L V10 underhood of the current E63 BMW M6? Think that the current model is too bloated, too complex, and too expensive? Me too, me two, and me three. Thankfully, in the late 80′s [...]

Pic of the Day: Steve McQueen Is Cooler Than You

True Story. Ten points to the first one to identify the car.

Is Saab Done?

As we all know, GM’s been anxious to get rid of Saab for some time. The Swedish car manufacturer has been hemorrhaging dollars and Swedish crowns since GM took it over. A deal had almost come through when Koenigsegg, backed by the Chinese company BAIC, made what seemed a fairly solid bid. However, that’s now [...]

Parts Cars I Have Known – My Life With BMWs

People who know me know I have a problem. I collect old BMWs, specifically the models fewer people care about. I have had E3 (the Bavarias) and E12 (the first 5 Series) sedans, as well as one garden-variety 1985 535i. Anything with an ‘M’ prefix? Nope. A beautiful CS coupe? Not yet. The iconic 2002? [...]
