Remember that time about a couple of years ago when most of Detroit was on fire and everybody in America was out of money? Well actually, Detroit has been on fire for the last couple of decades and the focus back then was on how this town's car makers were all bankrupt. Since then, Ford's sales and profit went through...
The French people from Peugeot proudly announced that the EX1 concept revealed last year at Paris managed to get the fastest lap time on Nurburgring. Of course, the French electric model got the first place in the electric cars battle with a time of 9:01.338 which is about 50 seconds faster than the previous electric model with the fastest lap...
The new Carte Blanche book written by Jeffery Deaver will benefit from a special edition developed by the British from Bentley.

Even though Ford has been pretty much keeping a lid on actual sales figures they've been managing lately, it's clear these aren't small. We got our first hints from the Ford F-150 EcoBoost sales rushing up and from the Fiesta being top seller in Europe but somehow that didn't seem substantiated enough. With the Americans still not being too clear...
Here's another of those very few occurrences when we all get to feel like the automotive industry is nothing more than a manufacturing political party. After previously ending a press conference at the New York Auto Show that focused on the BMW ActiveE on a negative tone, Jim O'Donnel came forward with a public apology on the matter. Having originally...
For some time now we knew that the Koreans were doing pretty well financially but the latest of sales figures proof just how much we might be underestimating Kia. Hard figures suggest that Kia's accountants drew the line at a total profit of $890 million for the first three months of 2011. Given the 465.9 million USD they managed in...
The specialists from Prior-Design introduce the "High-Society" aero package specially designed for Bentley Continental GT Cabriolet.

From the outset I'd like to say it's awfully difficult to find a proper name for the set of modifications Inden Design applied to the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. Sure, there was a very interesting series of upgrades, but almost none of them feel like they are true aftermarket products. Inden Design actually followed a pretty simple recipe, they took a...
I do not have a particular taste for information regarding the lifestyle of the rich and the famous or anything worldly and such.

Some of you...
