Diesel Vs Gas: 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty Tow Test
April 29, 2009 at 9:04 pm

Everything about the 6.4 screams durability and long life. It's a long-stroke, narrow-bore V-8 that makes peak torque at 2000 rpm. There's no indicated redline on the tach, but peak horsepower comes at 3000 rpm, and the...

We've pretty much summed up our feelings about John Castriota's Corvette ZR1-based Bertone Mantide in our previous post here, so we're not going to get into the design discussion again. Just hit the jump to watch to watch the coupe's presentation from the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this month, and don't forget to lower the volume of your speakers...

My Two Dents on the new Porsche Panamera Sports Saloon
April 29, 2009 at 8:16 pm

The new Porsche Panamera is like the acne-laced dork in high school who helps you study, or perhaps buys you beer: by God he's ugly, but he plays an important role. After all, the Panamera is not a redundant vehicle in an inundated lineup, but rather a double-edged sword whose goal is to expand Porsche's model range and battle other saloons in the...

Saab Fashionista Concept: Design Proposal for a Volt-Based Hybrid Coupe
April 29, 2009 at 7:05 pm

More often than not, we think that the American automobile industry may have been in a much better state if only the people who are actually engaged in the creation of cars had a say in the decision making. This conceptual proposal for a Chevrolet Volt-based Saab coupe from Mayeul Walser, a 4th year Car Design student in Creapole-Esdi, is a good...

Called the Hurricane CS, the M6 Coupe-based...

VIDEO: Foolish Cop in Patrol Car Chases Running Suspect in Apartment Complex
April 29, 2009 at 4:31 pm

Sometimes there are no words to describe the reckless actions of people whose job is to serve the law without breaking it themselves. Take for example Lance Cpl. Alexander Richardson, a South Carolina trooper (Phil, we're expecting a comment) that was caught on video bumping a running suspect with his patrol car inside an apartment complex (!) in...

Another Homemade Batmobile, this time from Batman Forever -with Video
April 29, 2009 at 12:34 pm

There's something about Batmobiles that captures the imagination of handy-craft people like sculptor Bob Causey who built a drivable replica of the model seen in the 1995 film Batman Forever with Val Kilmer as the caped crusader. Like many other Batmobile replicas from various eras, this one too was built in a home garage and it comes with a full...

April 29, 2009 at 11:43 am

SEAT Pays Tribute to Ibiza with 25th Anniversary Edition
April 29, 2009 at 11:06 am

Still trying to find what's so special about this special edition Ibiza other than the '25th Anniversary' logo on the rear hatch? We don't blame you, we did the same and came up with nothing. Apparently, VW Group's subsidiary hasn't any money laying around for fancy-pansy anniversary models so the special edition Ibiza that pays tribute to the...

April 29, 2009 at 10:15 am

Believe it or not, it's been about a month since we last posted anything about the new Camaro -we hope that you'll forgive us for not following the hype and posting about the speck of dust found on the brake pads on one of the show cars... While the new Camaro won't be heading towards Europe any time soon, in the Middle East were the money flows...
