The Chinese may have called 2010 the year of the tiger, but for us car geeks, it's been the year of the recall.

Ford [NYSE:F] is damping speculation that it's developing a new flagship sedan in the mold of the former Lincoln Continental. The Continental was one of the signature vehicles in the Lincoln lineup from the 1930s through the 1970s--the mini-brand was sold under its own nameplate, before it became...

Some actors have always seemed older than they really are. Bea Arthur, for example: she was born 40. Bob Hoskins, too. And then there's 48-year-old John Slattery, whose characters always seems at least a decade older than he is. Say what you will about Mad Men, but you can't deny Slattery's...

Stretch your memories to go all the way back to the end of August, when Labor Day actually held the ironic promise of a few days off. Faked you out, didn't it? Us too. Still, we fondly recall those days of just three weeks ago with a touch of nostalgia. After all, it was the first time the wraps...

Now that Ford's shorn of Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin and Volvo--and now that it's closing Mercury--Lincoln will get seven new vehicles in the next four years in a major new investment in product and in a more distinct identity for the Ford luxury brand. At the press launch for the 2011 MKZ...

Sometime You Just Don’t Want To Drive Grandma’s Buick

Whitney Houston, you have a problem. The problem is this: most of us stopped caring about you during the second Clinton administration. We watched from a distance as you went down the stony end, did the crack thing, the meth thing, the whatever-you-could-get-over-the-counter thing, and, of course...

HELLO, PEOPLE OF EARTH: I am Scarlett Johansson, and yes, I am stunning. Thank you for noticing. (Never mind that I totally lifted my cat-eyes and my up-do from Deneuve circa The Hunger. Like, who would know that? Who was even born then? Old people with their complaining, that's who.) As I was...
