In fact, we had a really tough time picking only our ten favorites back in December '06. But once in a while, a new one comes along that makes us stop and take notice. This is one such timepiece.The Hamilton U.S. 66 Power Reserve has a striking and unusual design clearly aimed at automotive enthusiasts.

It’s a problem Alfa Romeo has to juggle with as it attempts to re-establish itself in the U.S. next year, but it looks like the carmaker has a number of options up its sleeve to help ride out the storm. One option officials are looking at is building a new plant in Mexico to supply... Full article...

The company has said that it will provide me with a car to use, BUT it must be one that reflects the company's success and status. Translated, that means I have to choose something fancier than the 2000 Lexus I currently drive. I am, frankly, looking for comfort. I like leather seats, and I want roadside... Full article...

On the heels of the announcement earlier this month that BMW will increase production in the U.S, Fiat is considering moving production of both Alfa Romeo cars, and Iveco trucks, to manufacturing plants on our shores. We first broke the news in December, but now it appears Fiat is actively involved in talks with U.S. automakers to build partnerships and share manufacturing facilities with a goal of starting production by 2011 or 2012.

Many have said the Ferrari 599GTB and Corvette C6 Z06 share a lot in common, for example, although it’s certain that neither copied the other - it’s just an example of how common design goals can lead to common design products. Perhaps that’s why Geely’s new GT concept seems to have the feel of several cars - Maserati’s Gran Turismo, Alfa Romeo’s 8C... Full article...

It is obvious among the first models will be 8C Spider. Fiat has already been on American market in 1996 when they were selling a scant 400 for the year. In the beginning the cars are going to be exported from Italy, but in the nearest future Fiat plans to produce them in North America.

Unfortunately, most of the line-up is lacking the grunt to back up its killer looks, with the 8C Competizione floating beyond reproach atop the range and a huge gap down to the standard production models. Alfa is apparently looking to bridge that gap, however, with the 159 GTA.In the video after the jump, you'll see footage of a 159 decked out with enormous AMG Black Series-style vents...
