Ha! That’s what Aston Martin gets for teasing us with mere snaps of their newest supercar, the code named One-77. Yesterday a Dutch lifestyle magazine leaked the photo’s of Aston’s new baby for all the world to see. It took less than 24 hours for the photos to appear in servers around the world. But […]

The Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan have sold well. In fact, these cars have helped keep Ford’s head above water these past few years, but they’ve all shared one common problem: old engines. You see, though both of these cars were a fresh take for Ford from both a design and build standpoint, they’ve been […]

The Chevy Volt has garnered a lot of attention not because it’s a hybrid, but because it promises the capability to run off of electricity only if need be. So it’s like an electric car, but with a back up gasoline engine. This has led other automakers to start revealing their take on this idea. […]

Just shy of its public debut at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show, Nissan’s new 370Z was revealed to the world through pictures that have flooded the internet yesterday. Looking a whole lot like it’s predecessor (think evolution, not revolution), the 370Z nonetheless will be an impressive package when it hits showrooms next year. Though […]

Ferrari has had a storied history in Formula 1 racing. They took the constructors and drivers titles last year and have been the most dominant force in F1 for some time now. In fact, to hear a road-going Ferrari engine at full song is to hear the high-pitched sounds of Formula 1. But now Ferrari […]

Alfa Romeos are known as a poor man’s Ferrari. A car built with Italian soul, and passion, that anybody can drive. Well, unless you live here in North America, where the brand hasn’t existed in quite some time. Plagued by temperamental build quality (hey, you wanted Italian passion right?), and poor service from an even […]

Volkswagen’s announcement of the building of a new Tennessee is probably the best, and most intelligent, move the company has made in the North American market in a long time. Ever since it’s plant in Pennsylvania closed a few years ago, VW has not had one manufacturing plant in the U.S. This fact has put […]
Chrysler has got to get it together. The company is facing extinction if they don’t turn around, and fast. No better proof for my argument is needed than the announcement made by the company recently that they would be closing the factory that produces it’s brand new full-size hybrid SUV’s. The 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid […]

Those of you who have been die-hard Corvette fans know that there have been rumors going around that the Vette’s next platform, the C7, would be a mid-engine platform. While a mid-engined Corvette would finally put it in the same league as more exotic supercars ,at least dynamically, it would also squander a entire history […]

Remember Volkswagen’s new Scirocco? You don’t? We don’t blame you, since when it came out it got mediocre coverage here in North America, and for good reason. You see VW didn’t want us all getting exited over a car we would not get. Though the Scirocco would have probably sold in O.K. numbers here, fears […]
