The production version of the LRX is out from under the covers, and it's called the Evoque. While the name has changed, the look hasn't--this little compact Range Rover is the spitting image of the concept vehicle, seen here in its first official image. Billed as the lightest, most fuel-efficient Range Rover ever, the Evoque will sport four-wheel drive, and is expected to get a manual transmission--Range Rover's first since 2002--as standard equipment, but the unveiling didn't reveal what engines will be available. Whatever powers it, it's clear that the new Evoque will be as much an image...

ALSA BMW X6 M Good For 202 MPH Top Speed
The somewhat ungainly proportions of BMW's not-a-coupe, not-an-SUV X6 have been the subject of intense debate. It's not ugly in the traditional sense, but it's not especially attractive either. ALSA Automotive Engineering, based in the UAE city of Abu Dhabi, has nevertheless decided to take on the...

Hilary Duff Is Clearly At Home On The Range
At first, we were just going to say something catty about Hilary Duff in the photo behind the link below. You know, maybe something about the fact that she's going to the gym in Louboutins, which can only mean that she's finally broken down and agreed to take that damn stripper aerobics class --...

A vintage Ford Bronco? Benicio Del Toro just got a little less creepy
All cards on the table: Benicio del Toro kinda creeps us out. It's not entirely his fault. Hell, the guy's been given some creepy roles over the years. Christopher Walken and Harvey Keitel unnerve us for the same reason. James Woods? Looking at you, too. On the other hand, del Toro probably...

Alanis Morissette: Now 50% Less Canadian
You kids may have to whip out the Wikipedia for this one. (Actually, make that "'pull up the Wikipedia', because 'whip out' would imply some kind of book or something, and what the hell is that again?). Older readers, however, will recognize the woman emerging from this BMW X5 as the formerly...

You know what, Tobey Maguire? We respect you. No, seriously: we do. For real. For starters, you had the good sense and decency to bail on a franchise when you decided that you couldn't bring anything new to it. Or maybe it was because they couldn't bring more dough to you. Or perhaps because you foresaw more terrible sequels down the road. But whatever: you could've made bank playing Spiderman until you got your AARP card, and you chose to walk away. Bravo. We don't really applaud the fact that you chose to walk away dressed/groomed like a bum in the picture at the link below -- one who's...
