In previous years we’ve seen wild supercars like the BMW M1 Concept and Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta (pictured) unveiled at Italy’s annual Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, and this year will be no different. Confirmed today by the event’s president, Karl Baumer, a special one-off Ferrari designed and built by the...
For reasons that still remain unclear, BMW chose to drop its hugely successful ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’ slogan and replace it with the new ‘JOY’ campaign when it launched its latest generation Z4 Roadster last year.

Every so often, we bring you the Ugly Car Guide--the spotters' Bible to the stuff that'll make you heave in a parking lot even if you haven't been up 'till 3 a.m. dualing Jaegerbombs and butterscotch-pudding shots.

When it was launched as a 2009 model, the Acura TL was the most extreme definition of Acura's new styling direction. It was a polarizing design, with a brash front end and beak-like silver grille surround. According to Acura marketers, buyers in Miami and New York loved it, but Californians and others didn't.
