Infiniti G37. Fortunately the world is catching on to this and sales are booming even this crazy economy of ours!

Subaru-The Only Company that Receives "Best Pick" Status for the Entire Line Up

Interesting that once again Subaru is the only car manufacturer in the world whose entire line up of vehicles are endorsed as both a Consumer Reports "Best Pick" and an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety "Top Safety Pick". Once again the little company that does things it's own way kicks the big guys in the teeth!

So if the Genesis Coupe isn't the Tiburon replacement then what is?


In 2007, the Hyundai Velostar Concept made the rounds of the auto show circuit. This is expected to be the type of styling we will see next as the role of our 2 door coupe entry level sports car shifts to more of a multi activity vehicle style.

Rhys Millen debuts the new Red Bull Racing Genesis Coupe that he will be competing in all across America in Formula Drift, Pikes Peak and Time Attack competitions.

The Safety of the Russian Skies

As if you needed another reason not to fly on a Russian airliner, check this dude out in the story. But what is even better is the way that the airline defends him.

Ronald Reagan was a Brat...errr Drove a Brat

This one was for the Gipper. Click on the headline and you'll see what the the most powerful man in the world cruised around on his ranch in.

The Remarkable Elantra Touring

Ok, this little sport wagon is freakishly huge inside.
The interior is the best in class and it is rated for 43 mpg on the highway. Oh yeah, it is really sporty looking for this class of vehicle.
It is crazy affordable, starting at $14995!

Where To For Volvo?


A possible merger with Renault is the latest rumour. This one actually makes some sense because of their past history. Who knows though, because the other rumoured interested parties are predominantly of Chinese origin. Stay tuned!
