Er, your computer screen. Our very own Loverman (Lieberman) stars on the latest edition of Garage 419, chatting it up with host Matt Farah at the LA Auto Show. The two tackle a gamut of supercars, including everything from Spyker interiors to cheating Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder interiors and the “not bad” Ferrari California. Hop the [...]

Yes, technically this is the second Picture of the Day, thereby violating all the grammatical rules that govern endeavers like “Blah Blah of the Day.” However, two things. One is that our very own Justin Berkowitz called me out for not posting pics of the C8 Aileron’s interior. A couple of points on that (my lord [...]
You are looking at the Jeep Renegade Concept from last year’s Detroit Auto Show. We’re not saying Detroit is dead (yet) but judging by their displays the Big 2.8 might as well be. Auto journalist after auto journalist kept repeating the same thing — it’s like a funeral at both the Chrysler and GM booths. [...]
There isn’t any “new” news here, other than the pretty white paint job. But… DBS! Um, there’s a V12 under the bonnet. And after taxes it’s over $300,000. And it’s fantastically beautiful. And it’s British. And an Aston Martin. And James Bond drives one. And I want one. The end.
The tuning gurus at Brabus have had their way with the pint-sized Smart ForTwo, cranking out a trick version of one of the thriftiest rides on four wheels. Aside from a slight drop in ride height, the car gets a sport-tuned exhaust and Brabus’ Monoblock VII wheels—15 inches up front and 17 inches out back. [...]
Yes! Everyone loves Spykers. Especially because of the interiors. But you knew that already. New for the LA Show is the Aileron. Not our favorite name. But it is our favorite Spyker. Why? Look at those portholes! They’re fantastic. Why settle for boring old ducting when you can show off chrome-tipped (or is that aluminum?) [...]
And the winner for the best looking car of the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show is… Jaguar E-Type. This is especially noteworthy as the E-Type was the best looking car at the 1961 Geneva Car Show. I’m going to go ahead and make this prediction: forty-nine years from now the E-ype will be the best [...]
Well now, what have we here? Oh yes, it’s a very handsome convertible from Japan. The Infiniti G37 Hardtop Convertible to be precise. And what do we think? Not a bad looking car. not at all. OK, it does have a bit of the humpy butt syndrome afflicting the Lexus SC430. But just a mild case. [...]
Yeah, yeah. The Lotus Evora is old news. So what? There’s always something about getting up close and personal on a car that’s otherwise been kept to sterile PR shots. As you may remember, the Evora is Lotus’s foray into 2+2 territory, serving up seating for two full-grown adults and their jackets. Or children. We’ve [...]
In case you were wondering, FC stands for “fuel cell.” So… it’s not the most attractive concept we’ve seen in awhile. There’s some sort of pug-nosed action going on up front and the rear could do without the hexagonal tail. We dig the wheels pushed waaaay out to the sides and the almost Lamborghini proportions, but [...]
