Why yes — that is our buddy Wes Siler riding a motorcycle around his Williamsburg loft. But here’s the deal — it’s an Electric bike, so he’s not bugging the neighbors. Or annoying the cockroaches with noxious emissions. That’s right, you can just plug the Quantya Strada in. Jump over to Jalopnik for Captain Siler’s [...]

Never heard of PGO? It’s a tiny French company that’s been cranking out retro-styled roadsters for almost 20 years now. The little drop-tops are powered by 1.6-liter four bangers juiced by natural gas. Those whacky French! And now they’ve released this teaser for a new shooting-brake. They’re calling it the Hemera, and beyond that we [...]

There’s been a considerable amount of buzz surrounding plug-in electric vehicles on the interwebs lately, and there’s little guess as to why. While gas prices have dipped a bit in recent weeks, everyone knows they’re bound to continue their cumulonimbus climb soon enough. Electricity, on the other hand, is comparatively cheap. It’s readily available, and [...]

Subaru let us in on some of the tasty details concerning their 2009 Forester 2.0D. The “D,” in this case, stands for diesel — as in a 147 horse, 258 lb-ft of torquage turbo 2.0-liter oil burner. The company says the potent little mill should have a range of around 620 miles thanks to a [...]

Well OK — here’s your Chevy Volt with a bunch of dudes standing in front of it. And by “dudes” we mean Bob Lutz and friends. According to our very in the know source (wink wink), these pics went live on the GM Media site by accident and The Car Connection went ahead and ran [...]

And not to the press or the public. We find that kind of odd, as a little greenwashing goes a long way these days. Never the less, we have absolutely no other information about what these cars look like or how they work (our guess — electricity) other than co-President Jim Press’s statements. “Fuel cells [...]

In a teaser campaign sure to sucker us bloggers in catch the car web on fire, Peugeot released some dark, shady images of a hybridal concept it plans on “debuting” this october in Paris. What are these pics then, a pre-debut? Anhow, the car is called, “RC…” Oooh, more ploy. Get it? They’re not even [...]

You sitting down? Good. Here’s the stats: Can run totally on biodeisel. 550 hp, 950 lb-ft of torque at 1,800 rpm. 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds with a top speed over 200 mph. And the kicker of all kickers? 57 mpg at 70 mph. Where do we sign up? Just kidding, we can’t. [...]

This is pretty neat. For a long time now there have been doubts (to put it mildly) about the viability of the Tesla Roadster. Even Atuoblog Green had some fits about the truthiness of Telsa’s claimin’ that they were selling actual cars to actual people. And for a few months there it did indeed seem [...]

Yes, it’s goofy looking, but the Loremo LS prototype is slated to be a 100 mpg production car. The German manufacturer unveiled its tiny gas sipper at last year’s Frankfurt Auto Show, and tweaks to the design have rolled out ever since. The changes have mostly been to make the car more feasible on actual [...]
