Dodge Caliber rumored to “die” before the end of the year

Even though it didn't break the market wide open, the Dodge Caliber is quite the tempting car. It offers a higher ground clearance than most cars, it looks different and it comes with an incredibly small price tag. That said though, it might not be the same very soon.

Downsizing has once again gotten to the charismatic cars we know and love for having big engine. The victim this time is a very special sort of Mercedes.

Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG: Goodbye but I’m staying

It's only been a couple of days since we last heard about how the Germans are thinking about killing off the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. Alongside the AMG performance tuned SUV, Mercedes was said to drop the biggest diesel engine available on it, the 450 CDI. It was all somewhat sad, but it wasn't impossible to understand. After all, you don't...
