  • Taking the BRZ to pick up a quart of milk

    When you pad into the kitchen first thing in the morning, only to find out you’re low on milk, do you silently glow with an inner joy as you reach for the car keys? Are you plotting every inch of your route to buy milk, thinking about things like pavement transitions and power-on oversteer? If you answered “no” to these questions, we have two pieces of advice to offer. First, sell your current car and buy a Subaru BRZ, and second, move to Spain and rent a centuries-old farmhouse, next to a working dairy and a rock quarry. Actually, switch that up: you probably want to move...

    Infiniti Tries To Find Its Way To Japan

    Luxury brand Infiniti is doing all it can to have a global presence. Well-established in the United States, Infiniti also has a relatively strong customer base in Europe and China. Brazil and Mexico now have Infiniti dealerships in-country, too, thanks to a growing middle class population. Oddly...

  • Here's what a lap of Daytona looks like from a Ferrari 458 Challenge car
    Lap Daytona’s Road Course In A Ferrari 458 Challenge Car: Video

    If all you know about the Daytona International Speedway comes from watching NASCAR races, you’re probably unaware that the track also contains a challenging infield road course for sports car competition. Like the tri-oval, Daytona’s road course is both fast and demanding, with Ferrari...

  • New Bright's 1/8 scale, radio-controlled 2014 Corvette Singray - image: New Bright

    We’ll admit to being fans of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray, though we’ve yet to get seat time to see how it shapes up against its predecessor. On paper, anyway, even the least-expensive 2014 Corvette sounds like it will deliver significantly more performance than the car it replaces, which already has us wondering how fast the next Z06 will be. While we’d love to park a 2014 Corvette Stingray in our own garage, we suspect that the new car’s price of entry will be well above our pay grade. The current C6 Corvette is priced from around $50,000, which we could just about...

    With the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG, the first high-performance AMG version of Mercedes’ new compact range, set to debut next month at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, it’s only natural that the similar CLA45 AMG, the AMG version of the new 2014 CLA Class, makes its debut at the following major...

    Britain’s Bristol Cars To Finally Unveil Electric Supercar: Report

    Back in 2011, we heard that historic British automaker Bristol Cars was working on an electric supercar capable of reaching speeds close to 200 mph. The fact that the company had declared itself insolvent only a few months prior to the supercar rumors left us with some major doubts, however. Fast...

    True Time Capsule 1954 Corvette Fails To Sell At Auction

    In 1959, grocery mogul Richard Sampson gave builders of his latest store, in Brunswick, Maine, a rather unconventional request: they were to entomb a perfectly good, low mileage 1954 Corvette in its own room, lit by two incandescent bulbs, with only a single square window from which to view the...

  • Delivery of the last Lexus LFA shipped to America - image: Lexus

    In December, Lexus built its final LFA, serial number 500, roughly two years after production of the no-expenses-spared supercar began. The final car, a white Nürburgring Edition, was destined for a museum, but the penultimate Lexus LFA assembled, serial number 499, was shipped to a Unites States dealer. Autoweek explains that the steel grey-with-red-leather car was purchased by Roy Mallady as a present for his 68th birthday. It will be sharing a garage with his other Lexus LFA, which just happens to be serial number 003, the very first Lexus LFA imported into America. Packing a...

While that may frustrate potential customers and Focus RS fans, we understand...

    Chrysler Scripts More Memorable Super Bowl Ads: Video

    For Super Bowl XLV, in 2011, Chrysler hired Eminem to deliver a loud and clear message: the American auto industry, most noticeably Chrysler and its affiliated companies, were back.
