"I like very pure, minimalistic, empty space," says the 41-year-old product designer. Schubert's home, under construction on two acres in the Brentwood neighborhood of West Los Angeles, will be a symphony in spareness: three glass boxes as the main living quarters, a pool house with cantilevered roof, a Japanese tea house and a glass-walled...

One of them is Citroën Revolte, the plug-in hybrid which became a “graphic quotation” of the famous 2CV, one of the most popular cars in France.

The courtship allows you to look over any flaws, the honeymoon makes you forget about them, and only on the commute to work do you undergo a David Byrne epiphany: This is not my beautiful car. No wonder the divorce rate in America hovers around 6,000 percent. But such a regret would never enter your mind behind the wheel of the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, the logical European-inspired version of the stellar CTS sedan. It's so much fun you almost forget the... Full article...

For the better part of 80 years -- and, Lord knows, certainly for the past 15 -- so many of the Germans I knew who worked for Opel wanted nothing more than to slip the yoke of American oppression they so readily blamed for all that ailed their beloved , the yellow...

But the rules may give some automakers a competitive advantage. The regulation is expected to mirror a California provision that gives less-stringent tailpipe emissions requirements to automakers with annual U.S. sales of no more than 400,000 vehicles, mainly German and Asian manufacturers.
