Walking along the street, minding my own business, I came across a number of cars that got me thinking. One car in particular was a brand new Scion xB that had been turned from a fresh-off-the-dealership soapbox into nothing more than scrap metal. This silver xB, parked on the corner of a block in a [...]
Sometimes trendy things go too far overboard. For example, every ‘media outlet’ wants to hand out annual awards, or even creatively create new categories to promote itself. Heck, even KarFarm might get into that game in the near future. Ward’s Auto is famous for ‘the 10 best engines’ award. I don’t know if they are [...]
As if the plethora of Chuck Norris jokes that took over the internet wasn’t enough. Prepare yourself for the new breed of Chuck Norris jokes, now with 100% more GT-R. Norris, who just turned 70, decided to add to his repertoire of roundhouse kicks with a 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 monster of a Nissan GT-R. [...]
Let’s face it. The car tuning scene (or anything automotive) is mainly a male-dominated field. However, that doesn’t mean there are some nice vehicles that are tuned and/or modified by our female automotive fanatics. In particular, there are three main circles of female oriented tuning – Honda Civic/Acura Integra, Nissan Z/Infiniti G, and Scions. Scions, [...]

Oh yes, this is awesome. Reminds me of the old Nissan 300ZX toy commercial from the ’90s. The only thing better would be if a real SE-R could do half this stuff. FYI, this ad is from Nissan Canada. Eh. Below is the making of the video. Courtesy of our content partner: Subcompact Culture Related [...]
Ever since we reviewed the resurgence of the Dodge Challenger, we’ve wanted to put the Mustang and Camaro head to head. Now we’ve finally grabbed both the icons, found an amazing road, and pretended it was 1969. Except, in this era of MPG concerns, Hybrids, and alternative fuel, do these big V8 monsters still bring [...]
Scion introduced its top selling tC back in 2004, as a 2005 model, and it was an immediate success. However, the typical life cycle of a car model is between 4-5 years. It is now 2010, so depending on your math, the tC’s replacement is about 1-2 years late… and quite honestly, the current tC [...]
Here’s something that was half way expected… the bastardization of the CTS model – and in this case, it’s not a bad thing. There’s already one in regular flavor, CTS-V, CTS Sport Wagon, and now the CTS-V Sport Wagon. The CTS is a very capable premium midsize offering from Cadillac, and the first American premium [...]
In Toyota’s quest for world-domination, the Lexus brand has become a huge badge and reputation for quiet and luxurious transportation. Yet, the IS series also strives to be a car for enthusiasts. Of course, that means competing in the crowded sports sedan segment. But the IS didn’t offer a convertible version until recently. And it [...]
One could argue that Hyundai has been the best performing auto company in the last 2-3 years. Just within these past 2 years, we saw the likes of Genesis Sedan, Genesis Coupe, all new Sonata, all new Tucson, Kia Soul, Kia Forte Sedan, Kia Forte Koup, and Kia Sorento – all with superior design (not [...]
