Now, a century or so later in the United States, we have legislators and automotive safety organizations suggesting that motorists should only do one thing -- drive -- when in a vehicle. The point here is that a hysterical reaction to the evolution of technology is not going to serve the best interests of any of us. Certainly driver... Full article...

It was a sensation when it appeared in 1990 as the embodiment of the traditional open two-seater, dominated for generations by roadsters and convertibles from Great Britain. They included the Austin-Healey Sprite, 100 and 3000; Lotus Elan; MG TC, TD, A, B and Midget; Triumph TR and Spitfire, and Sunbeam Alpine and Tiger. All offered top-down exhilaration with a low center of gravity and... Full article...

They have been caught with a Maserati in the Tyrrhenian Sea and since the car did not have appropriate sea vessel documents, it was confiscated by the coast guard officials. Marco Amoretti and Marcolino De Candia have tried this trick before. They have sailed on the car boats made from Volkswagen Passat and Ford Taurus in 1999. The sailors say at that time they traveled across the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to the... Full article...

At least that's the plan for this midsize premium sedan. Putting a hundred miles on this car was easy. It's comfortable, quiet and gives you a spirited ride. The bulletproof 3.5-liter V-6 pushes 263 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque. It doesn't feel like a rocket, but it improves the car's overall performance and the 0-60 mph time by a half second down to 7.1... Full article...

Those who still have a job are thankful but have been battered by a tumultuous year that began with high hopes when GM selected the Lordstown plant for a new product -- the Chevy Cruze -- then quickly spiraled down as GM floundered amid the national economic meltdown and declared bankruptcy on June 1. Lordstown's story is being told in auto... Full article...

For those at the hub of car culture, it's a must-visit location. At the Sloan Museum, Flint's dramatic history as the birthplace of General Motors comes to life. The museum's namesake -- Alfred Pritchard Sloan Jr., the former president and CEO of the giant auto manufacturer -- is a name out of General Motors' rich and storied past. It is a truly dandy museum, laid out like a circular drive around a park. Visitors can see photographs of the fabled 1936-37 Flint... Full article...

They don't slowly grow from one form to another, undergoing painful transformations and Peter Brady voice changes. They follow a more Darwinian path, evolve or die. As Cadillac continues with its evolution, it has adopted a more family look throughout its lineup. Now, it can welcome the 2010 Cadillac SRX into the fold.
