Expect to see the DBS Volante sharing the stand with the V12 Vantage and potentially first sedan in decades, the Rapide. Aston Martin says that the DBS Volante completes the DBS lineup. A fully-powered fabric roof - not the steel roof that’s en vogue at other automakers - makes its appearance. Despite the seemingly vintage... Full article...

But even the rolling elite of Naples' exclusive Port Royal, Grey Oaks and Pelican Marsh enclaves are feeling a little thriftier in these uncertain times. The real estate crash, followed by a glut of multimillion-dollar homes and condos for sale, and now Madoff jitters and Wall Street's meltdown have cast a rare chill over the pockets and purses of the...

Alan Reuther, legislative director for the UAW, said the proposals from General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC violated the automakers' loan agreements with the U.S. Treasury Department, which call for the UAW to accept half of the funding for the health care fund in cash and the other half in company stock. The proposals call for a smaller cash portion. Late Friday, a source... Full article...

Daniel Craig didn't even get this car in his first James Bond movie. He was stuck with the hard top. Here's what would happen.

With your phone connected via Bluetooth, you'd call other journalists and casually work in the phrase DB9 as often as possible... Full article...

As proof, try this: Who do you picture climbing down from a jacked-up Dodge Ram pickup? Yep. I see the same guy in a baseball cap with an untucked shirt and about three days worth of beard. Even more than showing personality or social class, your choice of transportation can also reflect your political persuasion. Imagine the political leanings of the driver of a shiny Bentley Silver Spur or a beat-up Chevy/Geo... Full article...
