Thanks to some haxoring of our interwebs, we’ve been experiencing some technical difficulties. Never fear, Fiends. We’ll get this sucker back together and singing just like a song in no time. While we’re admiring the innards of a GM, word ‘round the rest of the Web is that The General is offering insane incentives to [...]
I’m fairly certain the Big Three have me on a watch list. Why? I have absolutely no plans to buy a single car brand new in my life time. I just can’t fathom it. It’s true GM’s current incentives are tantalizing, and the thought of never having to lift a finger under the hood if [...]
The gremlins plaguing our servers have relented long enough to slip this one out the door. If you find yourself weathering the economic apocalypse better than the guy next to you and have $236,500 burning a hole in your portfolio, we have something for you. It’s a 1975 Lancia Stratos HF decked in Marlboro livery. [...]
Looks like America can boast another duo of companies willing to jump into the electric car fray. Maybe it has something to do with the mind-boggling amount of cash available from Uncle Sam right now for just such projects. First up is Sigma Motorworks with its GTE Prototype. The car’s main claim to fame is [...]
In honor of Rick Wagoner getting put out to pasture, I give you the Willys Wagoneer. Tangential? You bet, but it’s also a damn fine excuse to bask in 91 cubic feet of off-road Americana. Mmm mm. That’s wholesome.
Legendary chronograph-maker Tag Heuer has worked up a new promotion using clips of Steve McQueen’s Fiendish flick, Le Mans. The premise is a duel between the bad ass of all bad asses McQueen in his Gulf-liveried Porsche 917 and F1 golden-boy Lewis Hamilton in his McLaren-Mercedes rig. There’s some cleverly-worked scenes with both drivers chatting [...]
According to Autoweek, the Hyundai Tiburon isn’t long for this world. The car that’s been convincing high-schoolers they’re quick since ’96 is set to be replaced by a model positioned slightly lower than the current coupe. John Krafcik, acting CEO of Hyundai Motor America, says the new car will likely be powered by the same [...]
Just last week, word cropped up that Finnish rally Fiend Marcus Gronholm would slide into the saddle once more, this time for Prodrive. The company has picked up the Subaru banner after the Pleiades unceremoniously abandoned the WRC after last season. Prodrive has completed its Impreza test car, and it looks like Gronholm gave the [...]
By now you’ve probably heard all about the feds booting GM guru Rick Wagoner. The move came as the new Auto Justice League determined both the General and Chrysler would have to do more to become viable (and dip into the public coffers once more). Bored yet? Yeah, us too. While The Man also dictated [...]
That’s right Fiends, the moment we’ve all been waiting for is nigh upon us. The much-anticipated 2009 F1 season starts in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday (Saturday night US time) and promises to be one of the most exciting seasons to date. You can catch qualifying tonight live on Speed due to the day ahead time [...]
