I caught a glimpse of this particular screaming Solar Orange TTS out in the canyons of Malibu a couple of months back and immediately made the request to get my mitts on her. The S-Line body kit , fat 19 inch alloys and an inch or so of drop combined with the aforementioned arrest-me orange [...]

Another week, another red press car. But that’s OK. And you know what, so is the 2009 Altima Coupe. Especially the 3.5 SE model we tooled around Los Angeles in for the past 7 days. Er, I think especially.  This Coupe isn’t the car (or type of car, really) that either Levy or myself would [...]

The Ford folks are out in LA to intro the 2010 Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and 2009 Ford Mustang. Today we got a look at the Fusion Hybrid and were turned loose on the streets of Los Angeles to test its economy in the real world. First up, the reskin makes for a smarter and modern [...]

Before I start on the C30 let me talk to you a little bit about Hondas. Besides the engineering prowess present in every car, what most strokes me about Hondas is that the more you drive ‘em, the more you love them. I remember the first time I ever reviewed an Accord. Initially I was, [...]

Oy. Yeah. Wow. Right. Ford has done something very interesting. With a big truck, no less. They call it the F150 SVT Raptor. We saw some video of it screaming across barren desert last Friday and today the Blue Oval boys (and a lady or two) took us out to the same scorched earth and [...]

V8. Honestly, I don’t know how else to describe this vehicle. Long after the heated and cooled fine-grain Italian leather  seats, single-piece burlwood center console and touch screen navigation fade from memory, the sound of the 4.2-liter V8 under this kitty’s hood will still be with me. From the instant I keyed the push-button start, the song [...]

Yes, your read right—that’s Ride of the Week, not Car. Actually had a slight dearth of press cars since the screaming yellow Gallardo we’ve been creaming over. I guess there’s some karma there. But thanks to our good friend Wes Siler at our favorite bike site, Hell For Leather Magazine, a beautiful red Ducati made [...]

A few days ago, I had a ride in the Lamborghini Murcielago, and it really nuked my mind. In his comments on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, Jonny (of riding in Enzo fame) told me “it could almost be a daily driver.” The Murcielago cannot. Even if your first name is Shah. Comparing the two, it [...]

I grew up surrounded by the original British Leyland (RIP) version of this car in the home counties of England. They weren’t exactly the cool kid car to have, but here in Los Angeles you can’t swing a cat without hitting a Mini by BMW driven by everyone from yummy mummies to studio execs. Finally [...]

Thar she is, the ours for a weekPontiac G8 GT is the Autofiends COTW. Those quad-pipes empty the spent gases from it’s 6.0-liter, 361 hp V8. Levy’s already had his romp around the greater Los Angeles area in the best Pontiac in a generation. I’m halfway through mine and have barely stopped smiling (traffic is [...]
