A while back, Chevrolet tried to do away with the whole "Chevy" idea. That didn't really go along very well but here's Mitsubishi preparing this car for the U.S. and calling it the "i". I find it just about as amusing as the "Chevy" situation because that's the Mitsubishi i-MiEV with some vinyl covers added before being put in a...
After Lamborghini came up with a massively long name for their lightweight convertible, the British over at Lotus outdid them on this front. I mean the 2011 Lotus Exige SC RGB Edition, my word, it sounds like a car with lots of acronym optionals on it. While the name may hint at it, the actual car does not. The 2011...
I will admit, as an automotive fan, I tend to knock off Korean cars as a breed but lately my beliefs have been put to some serious testing. This happens because the Koreans keep coming up with better and better products and the Kia Optima Hybrid is possibly one of the best. The Kia Optima Hybrid was just revealed at...
After a spot of bother with a teaser, Toyota finally revealed their RAV4 version that's powered by Tesla. Being one of the goodies of the Los Angeles Motor Show that's nearly a production version there's quite enough reason to be excited. Well, in actual fact, if you're one of the chaps that got a few thrills from reading this headline...
Could be, we won't know for sure until we see it happening. What this actually is, is a Subaru Impreza Design Concept. The Los Angeles Motor Show finally started revealing some of the interesting stuff we've been waiting for. The concept we have here is something borderline in terms of aspects. Here's the thing, I love the look of it...

Even Mercedes...
The Germans at Porsche decided to reveal the new Cayman R with the occasion of the American auto show. The 3.4-liter six-cylinder propeller gets now a boost of power offering 330 horsepower and in addition the total mass was lowered by 55 kilograms, a fact which increases the power. To be more exactly, the Porsche Cayman R achieves the sprint...
The Japanese Domestic Market is one of the most important in the world, features lots of cars that are only available on it and that are very, very good. However, because the JDM market tends to be exclusive and limiting, many of the great cars outside it don't get a chance to enter it. This happens often with Ferrari. To...
The Paris Motor Show which ended just over a month ago, saw the German triple star manufacturer revealing the 2012 version of the Mercedes-Benz CLS. The 2012 model year CLS is a nice new release, makes for interesting reading on the refresh of a class opening Mercedes, but it's, well, a bit lacking. Mercedes payed attention to this aspect and...
With just two days up to the Los Angeles Motor Show it's getting relatively clear that hints, teasers and such aren't happening anymore. That's not to say manufacturers have just shut up, Cadillac for example just released a pretty informative piece on a new concept they'll be presenting at the aforementioned auto show. The new Cadillac is called the Urban...
