The long, slow goodbye continues, Fiends. GM’s falling in line with the rest of the global castration running rampant right now. Yesterday the company announced that the mighty Z/28 Camaro, complete with a 556 horse, 551 lb-ft of torque LSA, is complete and ready to go. That’s right, a Camaro with the blown 6.2-liter V8 [...]
Say what? The CTS is without question the best looking car in GM’s stable. And I don’t just mean pleasing to the eye, but good looking in a striking, look-at-me I’m a mutha-lovin’ Caddy distinguished type of way. Hell, Obama’s riding around in a giant stretched one (kinda not really). You can’t buy press like [...]
This has to be the absolute best-kept example of a first-gen Subaru Legacy on the planet. Subaru brought the Legacy’s older brother along for support as the company debuted a less than attractive concept at the Detroit Auto Show. The Job 1 Legacy has less than 200 miles on the clock and looks like it’s [...]
Remember that gangly awkward chick you knew in high school? The one with the glasses? Now how about the first day of school after summer break when she came strutting in all curves and contacts after a months of pubescent glory? Odds are you do. Now keep that in mind when you check out the [...]
Auto body shops everywhere can officially grimace. Judging from the rides at the Detroit Auto Show this year, tricky shades of metallic paint are back in a big way. We saw everything from sparkled brown on Acuras to a stardust purple on Cadillac’s XLR. The hottest of all had to be a Camry, of all [...]
I don’t need to tell you one of the best parts of an auto show is all the cool cut-aways manufacturers roll out. This year’s Detroit Auto Show was no different, with just about every team in play serving up either cool engine or a complete rig cut away to reveal the inner workings. The [...]
Its true Mr. Arnold’s Volvo Concept is hot as can be, but it doesn’t hold a candle to Audi’s A7 Sportback concept. Our own Dr. Lieberman has already dished up the goods on this slick ride, but there’s nothing better than in-the-flesh-photos. Maybe it’s because I’ve got a soft spot for mega-sized hatches and get [...]
You’ve got to love Audi. While everyone else at the Detroit Auto Show was busy squirreling away their high-horsepower heathens, Audi proudly unveiled the new V10 R8 front and center. Powered by a 5.2-liter, 518 horsepower V10, this queen of sexy can launch to 60 in 3.2 seconds. The company has decked the new monster [...]
Here’s the thing. I hate snow like the proverbial fat kid hates dodge ball. Pretty? Sure, but it’s also cold, wet and quickly turns from winter wonderland into travel nightmare. That’s why I live way down here (da South) so I don’t have to deal with it. The ever-intriguing Jack Baruth was kind enough to [...]
It’s taken more than a year, but Mercedes-Benz has finally released a car to commemorate my, ahem, not exactly under-reported watch-winning victory of the 2007 AMG Challenge at Autobahn Country Club. Well, perhaps that wasn’t really the reason. Still, the SL63 AMG IWC Edition is more than a little special. It’s the first car from [...]
