My first road-legal car was a 1986 Acura Legend. When I took possession, it had a lofty 214,000 miles on the clock, and though the 2.5-liter V6 had let a few of its 151 ponies escape from the farm, it was still plenty powerful for a 16 year-old in the back woods of Virginia. Mated [...]

It’s been a good week for long-roof fans so far. Things kicked off with GM-honcho Fritz Henderson hinting we may eventually see a V version of the CTS Sport Wagon headed our way by the end of next year. We all know that means the supercharged LSA from the current CTS V, complete with its [...]

That would be Acura. That’s right. Of all the teams that lined up for qualifying at the 12 Hours of Sebring in Florida, come-behind Acura took pole position from both Audi and Peugeot on the last lap. The #66 de Ferran Motorsports Acura ARX-02a managed to snipe the coveted slot from eight-time Le Mans winner [...]

I. The 2010 Camaro SS laid down and 8m 19s lap of the Nurburgring recently. For a big honkin’ piece of American iron, you can’t really say fairer than that. Until you look at the timesheets of other swift GMs and realize that the Cobalt SS, a smaller, less powerful hunk of American iron did [...]

I. Ultra-luxury brand Maybach will announce its latest creation, the Maybach Zeppelin, at the Geneva Motor Show. The new model gets two tone brown-and-Taiga Black paint, chrome 20s, and streamlined mirrors. The real story, however, is under the hood. The Zeppelin gets a 28 hp upgrade to make 640, while torques stay put at 738.  [...]

I. Speaking of Acura ALMS cars, 2008 Indy 500 winner Scott Dixon has been signed on to drive for Acura in ‘09 starting at the 12 Hours of Sebring. Dixon is joining de Ferran Motorsports to drive their brand-new Acura ARX-02a. Dixon will be driving alongside Frenchman Simon Pagenaud. [Source: Racecar]
II. Cadillac is canceling the [...]

These are pictures from the Sebring winter ALMS testing. Most of ‘em are of the Acura LMp1. Lots of carbon fiber and high tech looking doodads. Seriously, check out the shot of the tire. And thanks to Dang for the tip. and uh… that’s about it. Enjoy. [Source: Speed TV]

Whoops! You know how we just told you that despite the Great Depression 2.0, Japan is on track to deliver all sorts of mack daddy cars to our shores? We told you that because Pete Lyon over at Inside Line made us broke the news. Well guess what? The same Pete Lyon is now saying [...]

Fiends, it pains me more than you can know to say this, but Honda has cancelled the S2000 replacement, V8 and RWD plans. This is just something we’re all going to have to accept. That means this year will be the very last for my personal favorite hoon machine. It also means there will be [...]

Could it be? Is it possible? The Fiends over at eGMCarTech are reporting Honda intends to bring a new NSX Concept to Detroit. Of course, this runs completely against Honda CEO Takeo Fukui’s announcement two weeks ago that the GT-R slayer was dead in the water. We don’t know who to believe anymore. According to [...]
