Not since the days of the Axis have people gotten so excited about a collaboration between the Italians and the Japanese. A new such collaboration was achieved officially and it’s better than before. Fortunately for everybody, world domination isn’t really part of the discussion this time. It’s actually domination of the compact sports car segment. [...]

Audi’s brand new RS7 hasn’t stolen the show at the Detroit Motor Show going on these days. That’s a bit of a shame since it’s quite the impressive vehicle. Going up against a more popular sports car like the Chevrolet Corvette has certainly not done it any favors. The Germans don’t like being defeated. We’ve [...]

I know there are some crazy people out there but I reckon we’re all in agreement, the Mercedes SLS AMG comes with a spectacular engine. Making it look that much more interesting is something that really strains tuning companies, their engineers and their marketers altogether. McChip’s administration has decided to put them all to the [...]

Seems like what we’d heard about the future of Saab is coming true. The Saab 9-3 is going to enter production. It will happen this year, at a later and yet to be specified date but, as expected, it won’t be happening in Sweden, at Saab’s regular place of business. What will happen is that [...]

As brand loyalists or some really boring know, this year infamous British car maker Aston Martin is celebrating 100 years of existence. A century in the business is not the sort of thing one gets over quickly. It’s actually the sort of thing that is celebrated all year round. In the case of the Brits, [...]

With the Toyota GT86, Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ hitting the market and bringing back our attention to small affordable sports cars, Nissan don’t want to be left out. They’ve actually announced the desire to compete against such vehicles a bit of a while back. It was a few months ago but quiet has set [...]

Mini really want to be American. Much like Richard Hammond, over the years it’s tried all sorts of ways of being completely accepted in the New World. Somewhat successful by now, Mini have let their hair down and simply did “fun”. They’ve unveiled a new version of the Paceman. Their relatively small (but large) three [...]

Even though Fiat and Chrysler are now joined at the hip, I find it hard to see the Fiat 500 feel at home in the United States. Thankfully, most buyers and auto show visitors from the 2013 Detroit Motor Show disagree and it’s doing quite well. If there’s one thing that needs to be doing [...]

As anybody talking about the nature of Formula 1 or supercars will tell you, technology is expensive. Unfortunately this also translates into EVs. Since the bits that make up these exquisitely green and desirable machines for the eco-minded are quite pricey when it comes to ownership. Even the Nissan Leaf, a car built as a [...]

It’s the 2013 Detroit Motor Show that really captures attention all over the place right now. That’s actually for good reason since it’s an impressive event. Mercedes did unveil their new CLA compact sedan at the event but before doing so, they managed to showcase the new car in Berlin first. Germany’s capital city is [...]
