In preparation for next Saturday’s trip to the 31st International Mustang Meet in Red Deer, AB, let us take a peek at the the car we’ll be taking down: the 2011 Shelby Mustang GT500. The crowning jewel of the GT500 is a new aluminum engine that saves 102 lbs of mass and produces 550 supercharger-aided [...]

We love cars as much, if not 48 times more, than the next guy, but we also have to recognize the impact of cars on the design of our cities, and therefore our health. For your consideration is an open letter to Gene Zwozdesky, Alberta’s Minister of Health and Wellness, regarding a hypothetical 3-year, $1.5 [...]

Before there was the nutty-as-a-fruitcake FIA Group B racing, there was the only-slightly-daft FIA Group 5. Group 5 is the series that saw the 1500 hp Porsche 917 in 1970 and ’71 and the Porsche 935 later in the decade.

Sporty Euro subcompact fans all over North America, rejoice. Ford the all-seeing, all-benevolent has heard your pleas, and it has deemed you worthy. The Fiesta is coming, and it’s not being dumbed down. More and a gallery after the jump.

This probably wasn’t the image you were expecting to see. Neither was I, which is exactly why it was so cool. Don’t worry, Suzuki brought along a Kizashi that auto show visitors could actually play in. The rotisserie was a really nice touch, though—especially seeing the undercarriage of the car, sans road grime and in [...]

While opinions on the design of Kia’s Ray concept will no doubt be mixed, you have got to give Kia points. Who else brings Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba and a guy dressed to a giant sock monkey to an auto show? Video and photo gallery after the jump.
