  • Dany Bahar

    In June of this year Dany Bahar was fired from his role as CEO of Lotus following the results of an investigation made by the board of Lotus’ parent company, DRB-Hicom. Now Bahar has hit back by filing a claim against DRB-Hicom for wrongful dismissal in a Malaysian court. As part of the claim, Bahar is seeking 6.7 million pounds (approximately $10.6 million) in damages from Lotus, though no mention of his prized Esprit has been made. DRB-Hicom has since announced in a stock exchange filing that it believes it was acting properly when it made the decision to fire Bahar and that it will...

    2013 BMW M5 & M6: On Track At Laguna Seca

    BMW has caught a lot of flack for its latest generations of M Division cars, including the soon-to-be-replaced M3.

  • Lana Del Rey

    Following its key role in the popular television series Mad Men, where the brand was picked as the hard-to-acquire client of a fictional ad agency in New York during the 1960s, Jaguar has been thrust into the limelight, so far without even lifting a finger. At the recent Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Jaguar continued the theme touched at in the television series by hosting an extravagant party that included a Playboy bunny or two. Now the brand is expanding its celebrity/Playboy status by signing up with singer Lana Del Rey to help promote its 2014 F-Type sports car, which will be...

  • 2013 BMW X1

    The 2013 BMW X1 is the company's latest addition to its sport activity vehicle range, and while it shares much with the MINI Countryman and, in some ways, the BMW 3-Series, it is also the greenest of BMW's X vehicles. Accordingly, BMW is leveraging its relative eco-friendliness (the 2.0-liter turbocharged X1 sDrive28i scores a fairly impressive 24/34 mpg) to raise money for 12 outdoor locations across the U.S. How will the X1 make money for nature? By posting Instagram photos to Facebook and donating $1 per "like" given to each photo, up to $10,000 per location. If that sounds convoluted...
