Unfortunately for displacement-heads, that’s not the case. Still, the motor shared with the G35 sedan provides plenty of power for daily duties. Easing 303hp from its 3.5L V6, the FX35 comes up only 87hp short of its 5.0L V8 brother. Both come standard with seven-speed automatic that can optionally be... Full article...

Seriously ugly. Ugly with X-wings locked in attack formation. I know an ugly car when one blows past me at 100 mph. Ugly cars are unusual, for very good reasons. Auto companies are vast organizations, with billions of dollars invested, and tens of thousands of employees, some of whom can actually pick out their own ties. Also, in an age of computer-aided...

Outlander sounds akin to "Rough Rider," or maybe something closer to Dodge's rugged Durango or Jeep's Wrangler. However, there's nothing rough about the Outlander. The engine is so quiet that I didn't know it was running when I first got behind the wheel. The 2008 model has one of those electronic keys that you don't have to insert in the ignition. Just have it on you or in the car, then... Full article...

Still, there are those who are nostalgic for the original 'Vette, which for the last few years of its production was characterized by deep, tapered "coves" that flowed from just behind the front wheels back into the door panels. But as often is the case, nostalgia can blur... Full article...

What is to like about this situation? Actually, for those of us involved in the auto industry, the short-term pain may bring some long-term gain. For amid all the gloom and doom, there could be a bright side for the U.S. auto industry and for Michigan itself. The steep decline of the dollar against the euro has... Full article...

That's right, former Speaker Tom Foley's 2001 shiny Corvette convertible is up for sale. Much to the Washington Democrat's chagrin. Foley, 79, now largely retired as a lobbyist with Akin Gump, is no longer driving. But it sounds as though he'll always have a soft spot for the car. "He loves that red Corvette," says Foley's wife, Heather... Full article...

It was designed by a Tokyo team and represents a toy-like flat roof boxy vehicle. In general, if you associated Hako Coupe with a person, the first thought to hit your mind would be, it looks like a military officer. The creators of Hako Coupe Concept are definitely square lovers. Front and back lights, large upper grill, door handles and the whole top of the car are as rectangular as they can be. Seems like, if they put... Full article...
