Volvo Car UK believes that the principle of hybrid cars being exempt from the Congestion Charge is now outdated and unfair. Drivers of hybrid cars enter the zone free of charge on a daily basis while drivers of low emission cars powered by conventional internal combustion engines with the same, or even lower, levels of emissions are charged £8.00...

My advice: Look straight ahead. Going that fast means you can see the forest, but not any of the trees, as they past in a flurry of sound and color. Now, I wasn't driving on just any Michigan road. I was testing the 2010 Lincoln MKT's new powertrain at Ford's Michigan Proving Grounds in Romeo. Part of the facility includes a super smooth, 5-mile oval track with... Full article...

A 14-year employee of Saturn of Denver and a 16-year Saturn owner, Collins is credited for reviving interest in the mission of Saturn and reminding executives of the passionate fans who have kept it alive. Her efforts have been tied to General Motors' decision in February to spin off the company and sell it rather than kill it. "I just felt we needed to take a stand and tell people they...

Cadillac provided the chance for me to drive the redesigned luxury crossover around Milford and then test a few of the vehicle's abilities on the closed course of GM's proving grounds a few weeks ago. On the road, the SRX was exceptionally well-mannered. The vehicle's performance was smooth and insanely quiet, and the cabin was full of all of the luxury features you'd expect in a...

People know it's there; they talk about it, but no one wants to make the drive. It's a mysterious land that magically produces funky furniture IKEA, cell phones Ericsson and freakishly beautiful people Ingrid Bergman. Since the Miss Universe pageant began more than 50 years ago, no European country has had more winners than Sweden. Did I mention my wife is Swedish? Now, the Swedes have invaded the small premium crossover segment with Volvo's 2010 XC60 with as much vigor as... 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...

A very simplified way to look at General Motors Corp.'s HCCI engine is to think of it as the old engine knocking. Remember turning off your car and listening to the engine still running in that clunk, clunk kind of way? Instead of using a sparkplug to ignite the fuel, the heat trapped in the cylinder and pressure created by the piston pushing up would ignite the remaining fuel. It was never a pleasant experience as it sputtered and coughed. For decades, GM has been... Full article...

The UK publication had the slick blue hot hatch for an exclusive photo shoot, the embargo for which apparently lifted as the clock struck midnight GMT this evening. So, what do our friends across the pond get? Well, the Scirocco R features the Audi S3's 265-horsepower variant of the near-ubiquitous 2.0 TFSI engine, which sends power to the front wheels...
