| U SPY in California: Meet the New 2013 Hyundai Elantra Hatchback Posted: 17 Dec 2011 07:59 PM PST  We knew Hyundai was preparing a successor to its North American Elantra Touring based on the freshly revealed in Europe i30 series, but we weren't entirely sure if the Korean company would go down the same path offering an estate version or if it would opt for the hatchback model. To explain, in Europe, the current generation of the Elantra Touring is sold as the i30 CW (or Estate in the UK), which is the station wagon version of the outgoing i30 series.

| Oh, Yes he Did: Miami Cop Drives Police Cruiser up a Pole [Video] Posted: 17 Dec 2011 06:05 PM PST  The only recent comparable accident that comes to mind upon seeing this Miami police cruiser in what can only be described as an embarrassing position, is the New Hampshire incident back in February when a Ford Fusion landed and stayed on its face in a snow bank. We're told by ABC News that police officer J. Brutus was driving near the intersection of NW 6th Avenue and 67th street in Miami when he allegedly looked down to grab a pen that had fallen but when he looked up, he found himself…staring at the sky!

| Court Rejects Saab’s Administrator Resignation, GM Rejects Any Chinese-Related Plan… Posted: 17 Dec 2011 02:04 PM PST  There are so many turns and twists in Saab's road to salvation or closure on an everyday basis, that it's very easy to lose track of what's actually going on with the Swedish automaker. On Monday Guy Lofalk, the court-appointed administrator who proposed the termination of the carmaker's restructuring process, quit. Two days later Saab announced the appointment of another administrator, Lars-Henrik Andersson. On Thursday, after Andersson turned down the job, Saab said that Lofalk would eventually be replaced by Lars Soderqvist. Read more »

| This is What the Fastest Christmas Card in the World Looks Like [Video] Posted: 17 Dec 2011 12:02 PM PST  What defines the fastest Christmas car in the world? Well, the answer depends on whom you ask. For BMW's M division, it's a card that was designed in a speeding 2012 M5 sports sedan. The Bavarian firm's performance arm asked Swiss illustrator Gavin Patterson to draw a cliché Christmas motif but with a twist (and a few turns, for that matter…); he had to do it in the passenger seat of an M5 while precision driver Urs Inauen flogged the car around the Circuit de l'Anneau Du Rhin. To find the outcome, follow the jump and watch the video. Read more »

| Lexus Won't be Getting BMW Diesels Despite Toyota's Tie-Up with the Bavarian Brand Posted: 17 Dec 2011 11:52 AM PST  Earlier this month, Toyota and BMW signed an agreement to share engines and hybrid technology to spread the cost of developing low emission vehicles. Under the new deal, BMW will supply Toyota with 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engines starting from 2014. At the time, many were wondering if Toyota's premium brand Lexus, which competes with BMW, would also receive diesel engines from the Bavarian firm. As it turns out, the answer is no. Read more »

| 1969 Dodge Charger V/C: Are You Happy to See me or is that a Viper Under Your Hood? Posted: 17 Dec 2011 08:09 AM PST  We've seen the Viper's 10-cylinder engine slithering out of its old skin and sliding under the bonnet of many different cars ranging from a Chrysler PT Cruiser and a 300 sedan, to a Dodge Challenger and a Saab 9-3 Sport Combi, but what could be more fitting than seeing it in a classic muscle car like the 1969 Dodge Charger?
