He just wants to be noticed. When you're the biggest, baddest Lacertilia on the block, people should run away screaming in fear. That's how most people react to monsters. But in Detroit, if it doesn't wear a bow tie, blue oval or come with a cross-haired grille, people just don't seem to take interest. When Nissan Motor Co. called to tell me there was a spare 2010 Nissan GT-R sitting around and wondered if I could squeeze... Full article...

The next week all the details will be unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. The luxury car had a predecessor, concept 200EX, but now it is ready to become a production model. The mysterious monster runs on a twin-turbo 6.6-liter V12 engine outputting 563-horsepower. The car has rear-wheel drive and is operated trough a ZF eight-speed automatic... Full article...

The 1,000 involuntary cuts are part of GM's plan to slash 6,000 salaried jobs by the end of the year and most will hit southeastern Michigan communities with GM operations such as Detroit, Warren, Milford and Pontiac. The area already is reeling from pending GM factory closures and blue-collar job cuts from earlier this year. GM... Full article...

The move is a bid to boost slumping sales and market share at a crucial time for the automaker, and for GM executives under government pressure to improve the company's fortunes. GM, which received $50 billion in federal aid, is pouring millions into the "May the Best Car Win" campaign. The promotion will urge... Full article...

Don't text message or e-mail friends, colleagues or any prince from Nigeria behind the wheel. Own a roadster before you die. Perhaps, it's because I'm in my midlife years -- at 41, I'm certainly hacking through the back nine -- that I've developed such an affinity for drop-top two seaters. Or, maybe, it was just that I was sitting behind the steering wheel of the 2009 BMW Z4 roadster. Every time I fired up the 3-liter direct injection... Full article...

Ludacris said he was taken aback after reading thousands of essays by people struggling or unable to buy cars needed to get to and from work or find jobs. The 31-year-old rapper felt he could step in and move them ahead, partnering with a suburban Atlanta dealership for Sunday's giveaway. "People are getting laid... Full article...

The Asian customers are so ready to buy Buick autos that the number of sold vehicles in China in August is four times as much as in the U.S. GM was expecting good deals in China and delivered 152,365 cars to the Chinese customers; this is 113% from last year. However even in its boldest dreams the American automaker did not expect to sell a record breaking 1,111,401 units in the full... Full article...

The trim is done so well, that it seems all the details belonged to the model from the very beginning. In fact, Irmscher really has advantage over other tuners: since it is a semi-official in-house Opel tuner, many components for the upgrades are closely integrated with the new vehicles. The same goes to... Full article...

It's not really a fair comparison -- the tank includes high-tech optics to operate its 120 mm smooth bore gun and the FJ Cruiser has a windshield slightly larger than a basement window. Having had the opportunity to ride in the tank recently, I can tell you that it can spin its turret in a few seconds, providing 360 degrees of vision, and that it would never be parallel parked. The FJ Cruiser, meanwhile, now comes with a backup camera... Full article...
