BMW's Most Expensive Paint

We know that some options on a car can quickly make the price climb: whether it’s unique wheels, a sound system powerful enough to make your home cinema system jealous or heated, cooled and massaging seats, it’s easy to add a few thousand dollars to the sticker price of an …December 2, 2014

The ‘’Real’’ Batmobile Is Up For Auction

With the revival of the Batman franchise a few years ago, the vehicle that we most closely associate with the black-clad hero is the Tumbler, the big matte-black tank that roamed Gotham City. However, as impressive as it is, each generation has their own Batmobile: '90s kids remember the long …December 1, 2014

The USA Misses Its Hummers

This is a typical example of the American mentality: with the steady rise of fuel prices that we experienced in the last few years (decades?), lots of customers had to make choices when it came to their cars, and some of them were forced to drop their big and thirsty …December 1, 2014

A Mercedes-AMG SL63 To Celebrate The 2014 F1 Championship

The V8 In The Lexus RC F

Technology/Autonomous Vehicles

The V8 as we know it is coming to an end: in a world where fuel efficiency is everything and where modern technology can make a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine develop as much power as a V8 did 5 years ago, we can expect this configuration to be phased out, just …December 1, 2014

Chevrolet Corvette Z06: Frugal?

When GM announced the fuel consumption of the Corvette Stingray, we were surprised to see that a V8-powered, 400-horsepower sports car could sip fuel at a rate of 8.1L/100 km. But what about the diabolical Z06? With more than 650 horsepower on tap, we can expect it to drink more, …November 28, 2014

BMW Now Offers Car And House Insurance

Lamborghini Winter Accademia: Playing In The Snow

Winter driving is a given for any AWD car around here. It doesn’t matter if the car wears a WRX, Carrera4, quattro or SH-AWD badge: if it is driven by its four wheels, it has to be able to perform when the snow piles up. Usually a Lamborghini isn’t our …November 28, 2014

Chevrolet’s Corvette Goes Back To Europe

The next step in GM’s plan for total domination in the sports car segment is to cross the Atlantic and bring the fight to the Germans and the Italians on their home soil. Since the current car is the best Corvette they have ever built, the timing is perfect. First …November 27, 2014

The Last Pagani Zonda… Again

It’s now a running gag in the automotive industry: every version of the Pagani Zonda is now the last one, ever since the Cinque was launched in 2009. After that, they unveiled the Cinque Roadster, which was supposed to be the ultimate Zonda. We then saw the Zonda Tricolore, the …November 27, 2014

A Fitting End For The Mitsuoka Orochi

We previously announced the end of the Mitsuoka Orochi, the unbelievably ugly car produced and sold in Japan. However, the Final edition that was announced was a letdown. A car so unique deserved more than Pearl White paint and some unique wheels to mark its passing! This opinion was shared …November 27, 2014
