For those fanboys who died a little when Subaru and Toyota said their rear-wheel drive collaboration was on permanent hold, never fear. The suits at Toyota said that the project, codenamed 086A (sound familiar AE86 fans?) is still alive and well, just put on hold until sunnier times return to the auto world. Both companies [...]
I can best Dr. Lieberman’s statement that he hates Superbowl ads by saying I’ve never in all my long years watched the game. Ever. Keep your comments on my masculinity/sanity to yourselves and hop the jump for a look at Hyundai’s crack at multi-million dollar ad space. The quick commercial shows the Hyundai Genesis Coupe [...]
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 [...]

Carma is a bitch. Yes, Carma… not Karma. For every stupid thing that you do behind the wheel, there is an equal consequence. Of course Carma points accumulate, so if you perform a weekend full of stupid things behind the wheel of a 2008 Mazda RX-8 40th Anniversary Edition, those negative points are going to [...]
Just yesterday we shared the news that Subaru is hard at work on a coupe version of the Impreza. Not only that, but Toyota’s getting its own version to sell as a Celica. We speculated that perhaps the joint Subaru/Toyota RWD coupe might be a Supra. Nope. Turns out it’s going to be a replacement [...]
