But then again, that's exactly what makes this commercial so successful in our opinion; for one, you'll... |

| Subaru Premieres Special Impreza WRX STI Carbon at Tokyo Motor Show Posted: 21 Oct 2009 04:15 PM PDT The Impreza WRX STI Carbon is the latest special edition model from Subaru and it is aimed at driving enthusiasts - just as long as they don't have a problem with the fact that it will be available exclusively with a five-speed automatic transmission. As the name suggests, the Impreza WRX STI Carbon features a substantial amount of carbon fiber,... |
| Toyota FT-86 Sports Coupe: Video and Live Images from the Tokyo Motor Show Floor Posted: 21 Oct 2009 01:46 PM PDT The Lexus LFA may be the ultimate sports coupe at this year's Tokyo Motor Show but unless you or your 'daddy' have a wealthy bank account and at the same feel comfortable in spending $375k on non-exotic brand name (not that we'd have a problem if the car's worth it, but just saying...), the one to watch out for is the Toyota FT-86 Concept coupe.... |
| Oops... New York Dealer Crashes Customer's Koenigsegg CCX Posted: 21 Oct 2009 12:57 PM PDT Of course, accidents can happen. But it's one thing getting into a fender bender with a Ford Taurus and another when you destroy a customer's $500,000+ supercar. According to the crash-addicted folks over at 'Wrecked Exotics', this accident happened when a New York dealer took his customer's 2008 Koenigsegg CCX for a joy ride only to end up... |
| Mercedes-Benz Releases New 487HP Performance Kit with a Shot of SLS for the C63 AMG Posted: 21 Oct 2009 12:30 PM PDT Apparently even the already beefed-up Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is a prime candidate for a little factory tuning. The new Performance Package Plus is an optional extra that is available for order on both the sedan and estate versions of the C63 AMG. It includes an engine kit that boost's the 6.3-liter V8's output to 487 horsepower, a high -... |

| Tokyo '09: Daihatsu's Pint-Sized Basket Concept Posted: 21 Oct 2009 10:38 AM PDT Seen by many as a modern-day Fiat 500 Jolli with a Japanese twist in it, the Basket is one of four new concept models unveiled by Daihatsu at the Tokyo Motor Show. The 3,395 mm long canvas-top Basket is based on the JDM Mira matching a 600cc 3-cylinder gasoline engine to a four-wheel drive system. Seating up to four people, the Basket's rear seats... |
| Tokyo '09: Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept 2.0 Turbo in the Flesh Posted: 21 Oct 2009 09:49 AM PDT We won't take the rumors about the Hybrid Tourer Concept spawning a spiritual successor to the SVX for granted, but we will say that the gullwing-door prototype may hint at the design language of future Subaru models.
