Karma strikes portly pickup dancerJohn Lennon might not have envisioned this scenario when he wrote Instant Karma! but the rule still applies: this guy subjected the public to a show no one should have to watch while stuck in traffic, and quickly paid the karmic price.

2011 Jeep WranglerMichael Manley, Jeep president and CEO, apparently has had a 6.4-liter Hemi 392 V-8 engine dropped into a Jeep Wrangler by American Expedition Vehicles for "executive evaluation" of a possible future production vehicle. We like the idea, just as we did in 2007 when Jeep unveiled the Wrangler Ultimate concept. Of course, those with even longer...

Upset woman has her car towedThis video was simply too funny to ignore. For anyone who’s ever had the infuriating feeling of having a car towed away, you now have a new hero.

2013 Chevrolet Malibu LTZThis is the first look at the 2013 Chevy Malibu, due for a full unveiling at the 2011 New York and Shanghai Auto Shows on April 19th.

Guilty Pleasure Buick ReattaWelcome back to the Guilty Pleasures series, a weekly journey into the land of cars we shouldn't, yet do want. The ideal Guilty Pleasure car sold for a bundle when new, failed miserably in the showrooms, and only gets discussed later— if it is remembered at all— in semi-mocking tones. The Buick Reatta, a fancy two-seater built for the...

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 BicoloreEveryone knows Lamborghini names its cars after famous fighting bulls.

Whatever the nominal designation, however, the Cabrera could be a powerhouse...

Buick Envision SUV Concept, teaser sketch, Auto Shanghai 2011Turning heads and changing minds has not been Buick's strong suit until recently, but with cars like the LaCrosse and Regal on the road, credibility as a legitimate option for those not yet part of the golf-and-managed-care-facility set is growing. The newest concept from the company may push Buick even farther toward the limelight: a plug-in...

Milner vs. McNamara in Shift 2 Unleashed time attack challengeAmerican Le Mans Racer Tommy Milner wheels a Covette this season, while Formula D drifter Darren McNamara, or D-MAC as he's known to fans, is more at home sliding and smoking that turning fast laps--or is he?
