Bugatti Veyron Fastest Roadster in the World

Beautiful Bugatti Type 57 Atalante Draws A Crowd
This two-toned Type 57 Atalante 1937 Bugatti illustrates why some automobile classics are treasured by their owners and others the way an art collector treasures a priceless work of art.

Quick Take: 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Quick Take: 2012 Audi A5 Cabriolet
There is nothing like a turbocharged breeze, and the 2012 Audi A5 Cabriolet one sleek model that will bring its owner countless hours of enjoyment. Unlike other convertibles in this price class, the A5 offers a standard soft-top, and while that slightly lessens its security, it means more trunk room than a fold-up hardtop and [...]

Quick Take: 2012 Chrysler 200 Convertible
The yummy aroma of freshly baked sourdough and crab in San Francisco’s Fishermen’s Wharf; the moist fragrance of an ancient redwood forest on a warm fall day after a recent rain on Avenue of The Giants in the remote North Coast county of Humboldt in California; the strong scent of juniper, pinion and sagebrush along [...]
We Bought a Prius
