1952 MG TD Ever hankered for a piece of Marilyn Monroe -- or Debbie Reynolds, or Carrie Fisher, or Cary Grant for that matter? Well, you're about to have a chance to score a grand slam, because this weekend, a 1952 MG TD roadster that caressed the backsides of all four stars will roll onto the auction blocks. If you're a sucker for provenance, this one's got...

Tori SpellingIt was a Monday morning like any other for Tori Spelling. She woke up, got the kids out of bed, then ran a gauntlet of paparazzi while driving them to school. Only this Monday, the shutterbugs forced Spelling to crash -- and Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone may be (indirectly) to blame. According to a tweet issued by Spelling (which is what...

2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RSCertain versions of the iconic Porsche 911 are being recalled due to a potentially dangerous central locking hub on the wheels, which if untreated could cause a crash. The affected models are the high-performance--and high-pricetag--911 Turbo, GT3 and GT2 models from the 2010 and current 2011 model years. The full list includes the 2010 and 2011...

2011 Porsche Cayenne SPorsche is set to introduce a compact SUV based on the Audi Q5 in 2014 and to emphasize its sportiness may offer the vehicle with a distinct three-door body in addition to a standard five-door model. This should help differentiate the vehicle from its Audi sibling and help it compete with the likes of the Range Rover Evoque, which also features...

2011 Saab 9-5Very quietly, a new, completely redesigned 9-5 sedan arrived last year. As Saab was changing hands and repositioning itself as an automaker, much of the car-shopping public didn't even know. In recent months, as we've followed the nail-biter of whether or not Saab as we know it will survive, there was a time when it looked like the 9-5 might end...

2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Sang BleuAbout a month ago, three men from Poland managed to steal a trio of exotic cars, a BMW 7-Series, a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and a one-off Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu--yes, the special edition model built to celebrate Bugatti’s centenary back in 2009. The brazen--or should we say stupid--thieves then attempted to drive the cars from...

Tony Stewart and Lewis Hamilton swap cars at Watkins Glen, 2011Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton and NASCAR hero Tony Stewart recently swapped race cars for a promotional event at the 2011 Watkins Glen International in New York, and we now have a video of the duo on the special day. Hamilton hopped into Stewart's 850 horsepower, 3,400 pound Chevrolet Impala NASCAR Cup car, while Stewart squeezed into the tiny...

Lexus LFA race car at the NurburgringHere’s your chance to ride shotgun in a race-prepped Lexus LFA as it storms around the Nurburgring circuit in Germany at a recent VLN event. By watching this video you are taken directly into the cockpit of the Lexus LFA, number 111, which ended up fifth overall in the race. Behind the wheel is Hiroaki Ishiura, one of three drivers that will...

Nissan Pulsar NX SportbakWelcome back to Guilty Pleasures, where we long for cars that we shouldn't, yet do, want. Nissan hadn't made an appearance in this series before this week, a situation I'm remedying right now. I considered going with the Datsun 610, 710, or 810, but even a 610 owner wouldn't face many jeers from the public when venturing onto the street. Fire up...

BMW X6 M 'special edition' spy shotsIs BMW planning a new, even more powerful version of the X6 M? It might sound crazy, but these spy shots hint that BMW might just be crazy enough to build such a mega-ultra-SAV. It has, after all, done it twice before. The rumors--there's nothing solid about the "special" X6 M yet--hint at 600-plus horsepower, a more aggressive exterior design...

2013 Volkswagen CCIt may be hard to believe, but we're already almost four years into the model run of the Volkswagen CC (or Passat CC as it's known elsewhere). That means it's about time for the obligatory mid-cycle refresh, and that's exactly what our spy photographers have caught in these shots. Fresh from the Alps where the prototype was testing, the car's...

Top Gear's Jeremy ClarksonLoving Top Gear isn't a pre-requisite for any kind of automotive enthusiasm, and, in some cases, it might be a sign against it. Nevertheless, the exchanges that pass for wit and wisdom on the world's most popular motoring program provide entertainment for millions each season--even outside the BBC's geographical viewing area. The coming season...

Moments before the Ferrari 456 crashesThis is video of one very expensive mistake: having apparently overcooked a left turn through this damp intersection, the driver of a Ferrari 456 lost the back end and entered a slide that terminated in the front end of a waiting VW Gol. The unfortunate Gol driver was the only person injured, suffering several broken bones. The Ferrari destroyer...

Ziggy Marley's 2003 VW Eurovan. Image: AutotraderAs celebrity cars go, the 2003 VW Eurovan once owned by reggae star and herbal remedy proponent Ziggy Marley is fairly mild. It doesn’t have a twin-turbo V-12, it doesn’t sport an outlandish paint job and despite what you’re probably thinking, the body kit wasn’t manufactured from hemp. It does sport a tasteful drop, nice...
