We only had two laps on the high-speed oval at Honda's main R&D center in Japan. We didn't get performance figures for the prototype Honda Civic Type R fitted with the company's new 2.0-liter direct-injected and turbocharged four-cylinder engine. But they were two very memorable laps. DON'T...

Audi would have you believe that every car it offers with the famous quattro all-wheel drive system is infused with the spirit of the seminal 1980s Sport quattro. That isn't really the case, but a few get closer than others--like the new 2015 Audi S3, as we recently discovered. We've already...

There have been several attempts to revive once proud Italian sports car manufacturer De Tomaso, and now it looks like there’s set to be another. Most recently, a former Fiat manager acquired the rights to the brand and even unveiled a concept in 2011. The plans went sour and a new buyer was...

This is it--our final nominee for Motor Authority's Best Car To Buy 2014 award. Have we saved the best for last? Maybe. There's certainly no denying the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray's prowess. It's a beast of a car, and, in our experience, the best production American sports car in history...

UPDATE: Below you'll find two images that purport to be leaked shots of the full car, from the front and rear. While they may just be creative renderings, they do adhere closely to the details of the one official teaser image. Judge for yourself. The 2015 Subaru WRX is coming, along with the...
