| Odd Spot: Nissan 370Z Challenges a Mexican Chicken in a Barn Race [Video] Posted: 21 Apr 2011 02:37 PM PDT  Yes, you read that correctly. This is a video of a Nissan 370Z coupe challenging a chicken - a Mexican chicken with racing goggles and a helmet, to be precise- in a barn race, and it's an official spot from Nissan Europe. The admittedly unusual commercial is the creative work of the folks over at the TBWA/G1 advertising agency. Take a look at the clio after the break and tell us what you think in the comments section below. Read more »

| Softer 450HP Maserati GranTurismo MC Launches in the U.S. Posted: 21 Apr 2011 12:44 PM PDT  Remember the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale that was introduced last year at the Paris Auto Show? The Italian sportscar maker has brought a 'softer' version of the MC to the States that drops the "Stradale" word from its name. That is because the GranTurismo MC has a full automatic gearbox instead of the original Race Shift transmission and two extra seats in the back instead of a roll cage. Even so, the Granturismo MC is the fastest series production model Maserati has ever sold in America. Read more »

Unlike the four-sedan that received its world premiere in the Big Apple, we got our first taste of the Rio5 at the Geneva Salon in March. The only visible styling changes over the European model, concern the colored turn signals up front and the market-specific trim options inside.

| VIDEO: 2012 Subaru Impreza Sedan and Hatchback on the Road Posted: 21 Apr 2011 07:30 AM PDT  Yesterday, we brought you a first look at the redevelopment of Subaru's Impreza Sedan and Hatchback from its world premiere at the 2011 New York International Auto Show. Today we have the first videos of the redesigned compact model in both four-door saloon and five-door hatchback guises, thanks to the official B-roll footage from Subaru. Bypassing the somewhat disappointing styling as the visual impact of last year's LA Show Impreza Concept was lost in the translation from concept to production car reality, Subaru's Honda Civic rival boasts a roomier passenger area despite the fact that exterior dimensions remain the same.

The Stuttgart-based automaker names the vintage color 'Boudalis Blue'. Other bespoke touches include the contrasting orange color surround on the inner wall of the front grille along with the flat black multipsoke wheels, and matching color badges and logos. Read more »
