However, American tuner Perrin Performance hasn’t forgotten about the potential of one of the world’s most popular modified engines, Subaru’s turbo boxer, and has developed an exclusive new kit for the top end WRX STI. The goal of engineers was to develop an entire range of performance and handling mods, from the... Full article...

We've shuddered at the lion's roar announcing March's arrival, and now we can almost taste the minted rack of lamb served up upon its departure. Out of all the months of the year, March leaves the worst first impression. But if you give it a few weeks -- and try the green suds halfway through -- things will be looking up before you know it. The 2009 Pontiac Vibe is the March of new cars. Without the hangover on the 18th. My first impression of the... Full article...
