Disney/Pixar Cars: Una vuelta fuera de la ciudad: Disney/Pixar Cars: Cars Out for a Spin, Spanish-Language Edition (Disney Pixar Cars) (Spanish Edition)
Filed under: Videos , Toys/Games Spike's Video Game Award finalists -- Click above to watch trailers at Spike.com Spike TV has opened up the voting for its Video Game Awards, and the finalists are down to four: DiRT 2, Need for Speed: Shift, Forza Motorsport 3, and Gran Turismo PSP. It's a bit of a motley list, but then again it's been a motley year for driving games, and we're still waiting for a...
2011 Chevy Volt - Click above for high-res image gallery So many things are changing in the new automotive reality, it's hard to know where to start. Everything from the kind of hose we connect to our cars (liquid filled? electric') to the sounds the vehicles make is different now than it used to be. What else needs to change? How about how we think about the costs to own and operate a car. Naturally,...
Filed under: Chevrolet , GM When the SS badge returned to Chevrolet, we were pretty excited. But then the double letter #19 made its way onto the last generation Malibu, and we were immediately and nearly permanently turned off. General Motors later turned up the heat with the turbocharged Cobalt SS and HHR SS , and while we liked those models very much, they in no way conjured up thoughts of 1960's...
Filed under: Biodiesel , UK Can you use biodiesel in commercial truck applications? Sure you can. Thousands of trucks burn it everyday. Still, not everyone is fully convinced, and some want to operate their own fleet test to prove that turning waste vegetable oil into fuel is a viable plan. This is what CO 2 Sense Yorkshire, a UK-based group that helps businesses and organisations "prosper and...
We first saw it at the New York International Auto Show. Looking every bit the part of a cast member from the Mad Max movies, the GMC Terrain seemed like a futuristic armored car with hidden panels that would cover the tires and wheels in case of attack. Mr. Brinks, Mr. Wells and Mr. Fargo: [...]
After I got tipped about this truck from three different sources, I decided I'd better head down to the self-service boneyard a few miles from my house. Would anyone buy a truck of any sort with just 60 horsepower today? Nissan was proud of that power level back in 1965! This truck is remarkably complete and includes some no-doubt-impossible-to-find bits, such as a nice steering wheel and all the...
If you're into cars, Cars and Coffee is the ultimate place to hang out on a Saturday morning in Southern California and today the ultimate Toyota, the 2011 Lexus LFA, rolled in just after sunrise. We'd heard the supercar...
Racing will be getting underway in a few hours, so what better way to prepare than by watching a timelapse video of all the cars that came into the LeMons Supreme Court's clutches yesterday? Here we go! I decided to mount the camera (a CHDK-hacked Canon A460) up on one of the metal pillars that supports the roof over the BS Inspection area, but I had no camera-mount bracket... until I stopped by the...
Welcome to Down On The Street , where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Many East Bay Amazons have been getting crushed , but this one is safe on the Island. I'm having a tough time figuring out the year of this 122S; the early-series yellow-on-black license plates mean it's no newer than '63 or '64, and the grille also suggests...
The front-wheel-drive ES 350 has long been the most subtle car in Lexus' already hardly overt lineup--appealing to those who want a smooth, responsive, quiet, and very comfortable luxury car, with some world-class technology features inside. For 2010, the ES 350 gets a number of changes, but it doesn't deviate one bit from its formula--all ..
Cato: Cadillac now has a rival for the Lexus RX 350 crossover. Yes, it is the 2010 SRX. Now don’t confuse this one with the since-dumped and conservatively styled, seven-passenger SRX crossover SUV. It was a failure, a perennial member of Consumer Reports’ “worst of the worst” list for reliability problems. The new SRX is [...]
Cato: Honda has exceedingly modest expectations for the Crosstour: annual sales of about 3,000 for a car that amounts to a tall station wagon with a long list of standard, upscale features and a V-6 engine. Honda might feel bolder if the Crosstour came with a four-cylinder and if Honda had not been beaten to [...]
We've seen the LeMons depreciation record shattered , with the '89 BMW 750iL that reigned supreme in that category since its (brief) appearance at the The Lamest Day knocked off its pedestal! That's right, it really is possible to obtain a great big Benz with a V12 engine, dent-free body, and cherry interior for 500 bucks. Now, some of you may be asking yourselves, "How in the hell could a car...
This is cool. A deal between the city and Reliant has the electric retailer converting 10 of the city’s new Toyota Prius gasoline-electric hybrids into plug-in vehicles with greater fuel efficiency and the ability to recharge through a standard home power socket. Reliant is also installing 10 charging stations for the cars around the city, including [...]
Those of you who followed the saga of Mad_Science's LeMons 6 Series know that some difficulties held them back at the Buttonwillow Histrionics over the summer. They've made a few changes since then. Yes, we've long wanted to see a big German car get turned into a Plymouth Super Bird, and now our dream has come true! A little sheet metal, a lot of Bondo, and the number 43 is all you need.
It official! Audi AG announced today that the new Audi A8 will make its official debut on November 30 at the Audi Pavilion, a temporary museum structure.
ABT revealed today its latest tuning program for the brand new Volkswagen Golf GTD , sporty hatchback that comes with 170 hp delivered directly from a 2.0-liter diesel engine. Let’s start first with the design: the car comes with a new front spoiler, front grille, side sills, rear spoiler, rear apron set and the typical ABT 4-pipe rear muffler.
