After all, Volkswagen's German masters never wanted to build the current one. The original air-cooled Bug isn't remembered as fondly over there as it is here. The animosity was such that VW's U.S. designers worked on it in secret, and it was only after their Concept 1 was slipped quietly onto the Detroit auto show floor in 1994 and met with an explosive public response that management agreed to build the car. Even so, Germans... Full article...

But not every model is a motoring coup I drove a Mercedes-Benz CLS last Monday. It always seemed a ludicrously indulgent car on which to spend a manufacturer's development and marketing budgets, as it is broadly an E-Class saloon with a side view shaped like a banana, less room inside and some more exotic mechanical parts. But buyers love it, because it looks like a concept car. They can drive a little bit of... Full article...

No name of it yet, but it is made by keeping space as the top priority. The car is very open from the inside and, as said before, space-oriented. Thus, you have loads of area for a lot of things, the best bit being the dashboard which allows you to customize even the audio system. So no need to go to the aftermarket shop to chop away a new dash and put one, when you can simply add your own without changing the structure. What’s better is... Full article...

It was the name of a Greek winged goddess, who, according to Hesiod, was the daughter of the Titan Hyperion and Thea. Like her Hindu counterpart, Aruna, meaning "rosy", she was imagined as a charioteer riding across the sky just before sunrise.From the outside, particularly the front, it has to be said that she is quite a looker.Ok fair...

According to Daihatsu, the next hot ticket will be 3D holographic technology. Daihatsu teamed up with Provision Interactive Technologies to implement a 3D dashboard for their latest concept car which debuted at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show. Attendees were so impressed with the technology, that Provision raced to file a new patent for the product they call "HLXX." The HLXX technology utilizes a traditional 2D flat screen...

Chryslerberus is recalling all 181,000 of those vehicles sold during that time to fix an electrical defect that affects unused connectors on the tire pressure monitoring system. Apparently, corrosion can cause a short, and owners could experience their vehicles failing to start, stalling once underway, or some other affectations of the electrical components, including the cruise control.

The auto-giant also announced plans to expand ties with Subaru and co-develop more models including a new RWD sports car.

Details are scarce, but according to an unnamed ex-Bugatti executive, the targa-topped hypercar will feature a removable hardtop, but its overtly wealthy owners will have to plan ahead, since there won't be any room in the Bug to store the roof on the go. According to the anonymous exec, the decision to go with a... Full article...

Next time you're sitting at the side of the road with the lights flashing in your rearview mirror, just think of this: at least you weren't pulled over by a VW Beetle. Unless you reside in Blount County, Tennessee, where Archie Garner, a 40-plus-year police veteran, nabbed this 1972 Beetle in a DUI case and summarily converted it into an Interceptor. Not that it does too much intercepting, being capable of only 70 miles per hour or so... Full article... Article added: 2008-03-26 08:09:16 Article Views Rating: 192 |
