| What Were They Thinking? When Alfa Romeo Rebadged a Nissan to Create the Arna Posted: 11 Feb 2011 05:58 PM PST When the Nissan Versa was launched in Australia as the Tiida, many automotive watchers were excited by the prospect of blending Renault's European flair with Nissan's Japanese reliability. "Here," they said, "Is a car that'll please everyone." What they got was a narrow-bodied subcompact with so-so styling, a plasticy dashboard, a shocking lack...

| Saab to Show a New Hatchback Concept as well as Updates on 9-3 Range at the Geneva Salon Posted: 11 Feb 2011 04:44 PM PST For Saab, 2011 will be a crucial year, one that could make or break the company's success. In a statement made in January, Chairman Victor Mullen said he's confident that the automaker will be able to pick up momentum and achieve the projected sales volume of 80,000 units. But for that the Swedes need new models and it seems that they'll deliver....

| Monster World Rally Team Unveils Ken Block’s New Fiesta RS WRC [with New Videos] Posted: 11 Feb 2011 03:29 PM PST Despite stating that 2010 was his best year ever, Ken Block had a disappointing FIA World Rally Championship campaign and was often plagued with mechanical issues in Rally America as well. However, with the support of the Monster World Rally Team (MWRT), the American driver is hoping for a much better 2011 season, as he's going to participate in...

| Mitsubishi Flexis Concept Study: David Cardoso’s Ford C-Max Rival Posted: 11 Feb 2011 01:07 PM PST The current generation Mitsubishi Grandis is a good representation of the Japanese automaker as a whole. Plastic-y interiors, underdone ride and handling and anodyne looks combine to make the Grandis a poor substitute for the vastly superior and better selling Toyota Tarago [Australia]. With its South Korean competition having long ago stepped up...

| Porsche Reportedly Considering Long-wheelbase Panamera for the U.S. and China Posted: 11 Feb 2011 12:39 PM PST Porsche purists have never been too fond of the Cayenne and Panamera, but customers less interested in heritage and pedigree have bought plenty of them. In fact, both models have significantly boosted the automaker's 2010 sales, so not only are the Germans going keep them in their lineup, but will also continue to pump out new versions, at least...

| VIDEO: 83 Y.O. Drives Ford F-150 on the Opposite Side of the Highway, Crashes but Survives! Posted: 11 Feb 2011 11:57 AM PST A freaky but luckily non-fatal highway accident that involved an elderly man driving a 2007 Ford F-150 on the opposite side of the road was caught on film last Friday. The incident took place on the Interstate 5 near Camp Pendleton in San Diego when passengers of a vehicle on the other side of the highway noticed the driver of the Ford, who was...

| The Road Ahead: Two Visions for the Highways of Tomorrow Posted: 11 Feb 2011 11:15 AM PST Cars have come a long way in the past forty years. We've seen the introduction of hybrids and hydrogen cars, Head Up Displays (HUDs), adaptive cruise control and in-car navigation. The modern automobile is widely considered to be better built, more fuel efficient and offering a better driving experience than the cars that preceded it just four...

Posted: 11 Feb 2011 09:33 AM PST Porsche is continuing its foray into the eco-friendly segment with a new full parallel hybrid vehicle that's headed for the Geneva show, according to a statement released today. However, the Germans are keeping specific details hush-hush, only stating that the new model is set to build on the success of the Cayenne S Hybrid and "signals a new...

| Lexus Offers Special Driver Lessons to LFA Owners [with Video] Posted: 11 Feb 2011 06:48 AM PST Owning a supercar like the Lexus LFA is not always a walk in the park. With 552HP on tap, it has enough oomph to get you in serious trouble and, given the $375,000 price tag and limited run of just 500 units, it would be a shame to wrap this beast around a tree. So, it's definitely good news that Lexus will offer a driver development program for...
