General Motors management might just be a fan of big leaps rather than small changes or anything in moderation. This is the lesson we have about the situation of the Impala. The current generation of the Chevrolet Impala is not exactly a flattering model. While some people have bought it for personal use, it was […]
Sometimes, people claim that it’s snowing in hell. Today however, it seems that it’s raining in paradise, given the newest of announcements.

Though relatively new on the scene, the Germans at Senner Tuning have put their towel on what the world with their custom vehicle lineup. Here’s the latest one. It’s one of their favorite brands and possibly one of their favorite cars as well, Audi’s S5 Coupe. For Senner, the project was quite simple, turn it […]
Somebody at the NHTSA must have heard our complaint about the way we don’t get too many recalls and how we weren’t exactly impressed with the Jeep Patriot’s investigation. They’ve responded by putting the 2012-2013 Nissan Altima through a recall. The matter is quite a serious one and there’s also quite a bad outcome if […]
There’s been quite some time since the NHTSA announced any sorts of recalls on new or older cars and we’re unsure about whether this is good or bad. Should we be glad that car makers are coming up with safer better built cars or should we worry that the American authority is slacking off? Unfortunately […]
SEMA, Las Vegas, glamour, money and cars. It can be a brilliant show but often it’s a festival of poor taste and overdone cars.

It’s the infamous Nurburgring race track in Germany and it’s the place where most new sports cars are developed and get their final chassis tweaks. Porsche and BMW are among […]
It’s not yet bad news, but it could very soon turn out to be for quite a few Hyundai Veloster owners. The 2012 modelyear version is now under NHTSA investigation.

Forget spoilers, the race has been over for several hours now and I’m fairly confident that nobody will be watching the whole thing once again on TiVo. The news is simple, the Audi R18 e-tron has won this weekend’s immensely important endurance race at the Le Mans 24 hour event. Actually, the whole event was […]
Fiat’s in-house tuner, Abarth, seems to have once again gone mental with the original crazy ideas they considered “tuning decisions” coming back. They’ve recently announced they’re going to update the Punto SuperSport for 2012, without too much fuss. Which is not something that can be said about the car. It may be based on the […]
Buick’s time down on their luck is now behind the brand. They’re not exactly killing the competition but at least they’re now a respectable brand. Further more, the performance oriented 2012 Buick Regal GS is now the holder of a special record within the company, one that’s of the exciting kind, for top speed. Having […]
The American authorities are well known for the amount of stress they can put on a car’s safety or fuel economy levels. This is actually a problem for some manufacturers. Not for the Koreans at Hyundai though. They’ve actually got some great news, their 2012 Azera sedan got its seal of approval from the IIHS. […]
Here’s something nasty and unexpected, the 2012 Hyundai Elantra has gone under investigation for some serious safety concerns.

Land Rover’s products are generally attractive but we never thought we’d hear anybody say one of them is sold out. This is mostly because they don’t do limited editions. The attractive crossover they’ve just come up with, the Range Rover Evoque now comes with that notice. It’s only temporary, but it’s still something. It seems […]
Ford sales statistics, particularly in the US are the envy of pretty much the entire automotive industry and they’re not exactly shy about showing it off. There’s another statistic about the Blue Oval that isn’t so showoff worthy and is, unfortunately, what we’re going to look into. Despite Toyota’s leading PR issues last year, Ford […]
