Although elegantly engineered electric cars inspire us and high fuel efficiency vehicles of all types get our rapt attention, we’re also big fans of performance cars. You can’t be a true-blue car enthusiast without appreciating the auto as art – sometimes fine art in the case of coachwork of the kind offered by marques like Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini.

The European industry faces the worst downturn in living memory, as consumers put off buying cars, worried sick about job security. As they prune their budgets and brace for stormy economic weather, the last thing people are about to do is buy a new car. The current wheels will surely last another... Full article...

In 2008, nearly 10 percent of car dealers in California closed their doors, including 137 of the roughly 1,400 new car dealers. That pace has increased this year, with 23 additional Golden State dealers closing in the first seven weeks of 2009, said Peter Welch, head of the California... Full article...

From personal experience I can attest that seeing a 17-year-old daughter head out on the road solo for the first time is nerve wracking. One can follow the normal procedures -- I paid for my daughter to go through a driver's education course, with school room classes and driving tuition and have tried to impart my own wisdom -- but the effort did not seem entirely sufficient. No matter how many times you lecture... Full article...

The current blue oval heavy-dutys took their exterior inspiration from the mighty Ford F-350 Tonka concept that debuted at the 2002 Detroit auto show. The practice round for the 2011 model appears to be the bold Ford F-250 Super Chief Concept, first shown at the 2006 Detroit auto show.

Some, such as the Volvo C30 and Audi A3, are more luxurious, while others, like the Mini Cooper, have cult-like followings. All of them, however, share a few common attributes. In auto parlance, they are known as C-Segment vehicles, something that falls between the B and D segments. The EPA defines them as vehicles with interior volumes measuring between 100 and 109.9 cubic feet, but most people wouldn't know a cubic foot from a... Full article...

But even the rolling elite of Naples' exclusive Port Royal, Grey Oaks and Pelican Marsh enclaves are feeling a little thriftier in these uncertain times.
