Check out this video of the 2012 Camaro ZL1 hoofing it around a road course. We compare a 2011 Nissan 370Z to a 1990 300ZX. Murilee Martin's guilty pleasure this week is the Volkswagen Type 4. BMW is recalling the 2011 328i and 335i due to a problem with the driveshaft. Did you know car theft was down 7.2 percent in 2010? A homebrew 6-horsepower...
Thanks to financial troubles, Mitsubishi's product lineup has been looking a little thin of late, with very few new models making it to the market. A new deal with Infiniti could be about to change this. Automotive News reports that Mitsubishi Motors Corp. has made a deal with Nissan's luxury brand to sell the 2012 Infiniti M, also known as the...
Photos by Alex Bellus. Many things have changed in the car industry over the past 21 years, but one thing remains constant: Nissan produces a sports car bearing the letter Z. Known to some as the Fairlady, and others as simply as The Z, there's no question that Nissan has built a cult-like following for this model. It's no secret that we are big...
Talk of a BMW X4 tweener crossover to fit between the X3 and x6 has been around for at least five years now, but things are finally starting to solidify. According to a new report, BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer has confirmed the X4 is coming. Speaking with Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, the BMW boss said the X4 would be positioned above the X3 and...
In a few years' worth of rumors, the Chevy C7 Corvette has been a lot of things. It's been a mid-engined coupe. It's been a Stingray revival. It's been an all-wheel drive. It's been a turbo. If you could make a case that a given change or upgrade would make the Corvette slightly better, there's probably been a rumor about it. For GM, the 2014...
Two leaders in the growing field of lightweight automotive engineering have partnered for the development of a new electric sports car prototype. Called the Teewave AR.1, the carbon fiber infused electric sports car is the creation of the eponymous Gordon Murray Design, whose founder was one of the key men behind the development of the legendary...
The Range Rover SUV is not only one of the most important models for rappers all over the world, but it’s also crucial for Land Rover as most of its other vehicles are based on the same basic design of the boxy luxury off-roader. Models like the Range Rover Sport, LR4 (Discovery) and LR2 (Freelander) all share their basic design and...
Would you believe that I've done 23 Guilty Pleasures posts and haven't included a single Volkswagen? Mostly, this is because the VWs I like tend to be mainstream cool (e.g. Type 34 Karmann Ghia, Phaeton, Thing), but there's one that will make even the most frighteningly obsessed Volkswagen fanatic edge away in horror: the 411/412. I'm old enough...
Subaru's version of the shared rear-drive sports car platform that will also be marketed as a Toyota (FT-86 II) and a Scion (FRS) will be making its official debut in not-quite-production trim at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. We already know a little about the car, but today, we get a few more details. Most recently shown at the 2011 Frankfurt...
The gorgeous, imposing, and fortunately bound-for-America 2012 Audi RS5 finally made its official debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show earlier this month, but now talk is emerging that a convertible RS5 Cabrio may join the ranks. The talk is spurred by leaked patent drawings dug up by Autoblog Spanish and relayed into English by Autoblog. The...
The Camaro ZL1 is coming early next year, and Chevy is building the hype with all its might. We don't mind as long as it includes footage like this--we just wish there were more of it. Ostensibly released to highlight the track-focused suspension and aero upgrades on the ZL1, the video also contains some great, if brief, action shots of the ZL1...
BMW is recalling nearly two hundred 2011 BMW 328i and 2011 BMW 335i models equipped with its xDrive all-wheel-drive system. Certain models, built between February 8, 2011 and July 29, 2011 may have been assembled with improperly torqued front driveshaft bolts. If the bolts come loose, loss of power to the front wheels, or even a vehicle breakdown...
The latest Volkswagen Jetta didn't do much to appeal to enthusiasts in its first model year, but with 2012, the VW Jetta gets its GLI back--and that model earns a rating of 7 here at MotorAuthority. The GLI succeeds many past models that took Jetta basics and transformed them with better tires, quicker steering, and a more sporty interior. The...
When Ford announced a contest it called the “Octane Academy,” the automaker had no idea of the potential interest it would generate. Since the contest was announced back in July, Ford has received some 6,000 applications and 850 videos from fans, eager to demonstrate their skills behind the wheel to extreme sports drivers Ken Block...
