| A Perfect Match: A Short Film from BMW Classic about a Man and his 1602 Posted: 07 Apr 2011 06:10 PM PDT  If you're the kind of type that falls in love with his wheels no matter what anybody else says or believes, then we're pretty sure you're going to be fond of BMW Classic's new short film called "A Perfect Match". The movie, which was awarded the Golden Dolphin at the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards, follows the story of a man called Jack and his search for appropriate replacement for his battered down BMW 1602. The reason? Blame the lack of an air conditioning system that has made his life unbearable in the hot summer days and nights of Los Angeles. You may or may not suspect what's going to happen half-way through the film, but either way, we won't spoil the end. To view the film, simply follow the break below. Read more »

Whether your allegiances lie with Adam West, Michael Keaton or Christian Bale, you have to admit the caped crusader has done incredibly well for himself. S

| VIDEO: An Insane 900HP Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Posted: 07 Apr 2011 12:00 PM PDT  Why would someone want to upgrade a 451HP Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG remains a mystery to us, but the following car is a good example of the level of performance a C63 AMG can reach with the right aftermarket parts and some very deep pockets.

| GM Claims Volt Owners Seeing up to 1,000 Miles Range without Filling up Posted: 07 Apr 2011 10:29 AM PDT  General Motors says owners of the Volt are driving up to 1,000 miles (1,610 kilometers) before they need to fill up. "A sample of our early Volt customers suggest that they drive 1,000 miles before they fill up the gas tank," Tony Posawatz, vehicle line director for the Chevrolet Volt, told Bloomberg news. However, the official driving range of the Volt, measured by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is much smaller than the GM executive's claims. The Volt's electric-only driving range is 35 miles (56.3 km), with another 344 miles (553.6 km) possible as the gasoline generator kicks in. The combined range therefore sits at 379 miles (610 km), way below the claimed 1,000 miles. Read more »
