The Super Bowl is fast approaching, and with it we can expect a new year's crop of odd, interesting, and occasionally exciting new car ads. One to look forward to is BMW's, as it's the first they've offered in a decade. BMW's sales have been kicking along at banner rates for the most part, thanks in part to a heavily-refreshed lineup. Keeping that...
This unsual contest of speed between a golf ball driven by Stuart Appleby and a Lamborghini Gallardo ends with a result we wouldn't have expected, but we won't spoil it for you. To make things fair, the Gallardo was given a head start. It wasn't much of a head start, though, crossing the line where Appleby stood to hit the ball with Callaway's...
This no-holds-barred contest of raw material excess and skillful value-conscious performance yields no surprising results--the Veyron is far and away faster than the modified GT-R. But it's downright amazing on two levels: production value and sheer stupidity. Exceeding 160 mph on multiple occasions, stopping multiple lanes of traffic on an open...
An online focus group testing possible new model combinations for an "All-New 2012 Buick Compact Car" has made its way onto the Web courtesy of the intrepid netizens at GM Inside News, and with it we have our first preview of options and pricing for the upcoming 2012 Buick Verano. The new details reveal four possible trim combinations ranging from...
Ahh, Florida, how can we thank you enough for providing the weird and wacky happenings you so often deliver? The latest to come from the Sunshine State: a BMW driver busted for equipping his vehicle--what looks to be an early-2000s 5-series from the very brief video--with an option definitely not offered by the factory: four bricks of marijuana in...
Mark Schirmer of Ford Communications has put a brutal end to rumors of a 2012 Ford Focus Coupe through a posting made today to Facebook. Fret not, Blue Oval lovers, the 247-horsepower 2012 Focus ST hatch (pictured) is still headed our way. But for those that had entertained fancies of two- or three-door new-Focus fun, the party is over in no...
The European sales launch of the 2012 Maserarti GranTurismo MC Stradale is just around the corner, due early in the first quarter of 2011, and with it, we have its European pricing: 154,721 euros. The U.S. launch is due shortly after Europe's, and though we can't know for sure, we may extrapolate a rough idea of what it'll cost this side of the...
There's not much new on the docket for the 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 aside from a few price tweaks--and that's a good thing. At least, that's what a leaked buying guide for the car, turned up on a Mustang fan site, reveals. We liked the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 so much, we nominated it for our Best Car To Buy award, and though it didn't win, it's still...
We've been bringing you news on the Canadian-built HTT Plethore LC-570 supercar for over a year now, including its recent appearance in a Mentos commercial, of all things. Now we have official video of the car rolling down a winter-wasted Canadian highway. Set to some rather hum-drum rock music, it's not exactly all that exciting until the music...
Concept cars are a mixed breed. Sometimes, they're the real thing slightly disguised, and sometimes they're way-off abstractions in the Tomorrowland vein. In a handful of cases, concept cars are annoying knock-offs of the boy who cried wolf, without the bit that makes the fairy tale appealing. You know, the part where the boy gets eaten. Now, to...
The race-only version of the Ferrari 458 Italia, dubbed the 458 Challenge, has alrady been shown off in preview form, but it made its world debut in the sheetmetal at the Bologna Motor Show today, bringing with it more information and live images both on the show stand and on the track. Cranking out the same 570 horsepower and using the same...
