Good ol’ teaser shots. They get my vote for the most annoying new trend in the automobile world. Instead of just showing us what they have planned for the near future, car manufactures are now getting into the habit of releasing their new cars in small, excruciatingly painful to endure (ok, not that painful), little […]

Bentley’s are quite expensive, and quite rare to see. If that Bentley is an Azure, that it’s even more rare, and if it’s an Azure T, than consider yourself lucky. That’s because the Azure T is now the upgraded version of the popular (with rich people) Azure drop-top.

Audi’s S cars have always been sort of a individual’s choice. Sure for pure driving dynamics there are BMW’s and Porsche’s to consider, but there is something very special about Audi’s ability to create real “wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing” type of cars.
When I was in Germany riding sport bikes on the Autobahn a few years ago, I asked […]

Ha! That’s what Aston Martin gets for teasing us with mere snaps of their newest supercar, the code named One-77. Yesterday a Dutch lifestyle magazine leaked the photo’s of Aston’s new baby for all the world to see. It took less than 24 hours for the photos to appear in servers around the world.

India’s emerging car market is something to behold. In a few short years this country went from a very rural way of life to being one of the biggest emerging car markets in the world. Is it any wonder why major car companies are dumping lots of money there.

Engineers are quick to point out that this engine was indeed designed for multiple applications, including passenger cars. It is compact enough to fit in […]

The Lexus IS series has been a great competitor to the likes of BMW’s 3-series, and Audi’s A4. Still, when compering it’s competitors, the Lexus was lacking in one department. That would be the “open air” department. That’s because unlike BMW and Audi, Lexus never built a convertible version of it’s popular IS sedan, until […]
