The buy-it-by-the-barrelful mentality perpetuates the American need to gather too much stuff while hunting for a deal. I've gone broke saving money at this mega-volume store. For some, the problem with Costco is the same as the problem with many SUVs: Both offer too much and are just too big for practical purposes. No one tows a boat to work every day, and no one needs 200 frozen chicken breasts. Downsizing is the new... Full article...

The trike uses the best in the world of motorcycles and cars, and finally merges it all with a jet-like shape. Power comes from a 100hp Honda V4 engine that when combined with its low 970 lbs 440kg weight, gives an excellent power-to-weight ratio of 4.4hp per kg. The trike is built on a steel frame, and all the power from the engine goes to the lone rear wheel by means of a chain. It has a low center of gravity, and... Full article...

Analysts said it will take a couple more months to fully gauge consumer reaction to these moves, but Haig Stoddard of IHS Global Insight said one thing is already clear: "Ford is likely to be the big volume winner." While Chrysler touts the benefits of "quick-rinse" bankruptcy -- something GM is expected to soon enter into as well -- Ford Motor Co. is in the... Full article...

Detroit's automakers still lag the Japanese, but the gap has narrowed as Japan's leading carmakers have lost ground with suppliers in North America. Among the U.S. automakers, Ford Motor Co. extended its lead over its domestic rivals after improving its scores for the second year in a... Full article...

Before I could muster an answer to my 17-year-old daughter's question, she spotted a new Ford Mustang. "That's a cool car, too," she said, as I drove her to school one morning. There followed a brief and poorly received lecture from me on why a powerful rear-wheel-drive sports model is probably not the best choice for a teenager's first car. Further efforts to ascertain what makes the Mustang and Camaro "cool" in a 17-year-old's opinion did not reveal much. But the... Full article...

At some point just about every kind of car is the unwilling recipient of Lambo doors, and the Nissan GT-R is no exception. German company LSD announced a new vertical door system to transform Nissan's supercar into a winged Godzilla, available for a mere 1,949 euro. The kit includes a guided roller system that connects to the stock mounting point and a buffer system to prevent the doors from being opened too wide or from dropping down. According to LSD, the system... Full article...

Start with a lightweight, tube-frame chassis and then add race-bred suspension and oversized brakes. Wrap the vehicle in an aero-inspired carbon fiber body shell, but keep the generous cockpit open for wind-in-your-hair enjoyment. Lastly, wedge a huge, torque-laden, tire-shredding engine into the middle of the chassis, and tune the exhaust note so it scares the gophers out of your neighbor's front lawn.

The minivan first became a significant part of the American automotive marketplace in the mid-1980s with the introduction of the Dodge Caravan. For years it reigned as the king of family movers, and for good reason. Most minivans can carry at least seven passengers, and if space for stuff is needed, seats can be folded flat, folded into the floor, or even removed all... Full article...
