With big V-8s crammed under their hoods, they bubbled with power at every stop light. But times have changed. Direct injection has replaced scoops, and computers have replaced cables. Wrenching just about any new car today requires a lab coat and degree from MIT. But for the first time in nearly 10 years, the modern interpretations of three classic pony cars are available as new models: the Mustang... 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...

Nissan Motor Co.'s environmentally friendly automobile -- a blue hatchback with a sporty design and a recharging opening in the front -- is set to go on sale in Japan, the U.S. and Europe next year. Designer Shiro Nakamura said the vehicle was intentionally designed to avoid a... Full article...

Increasingly, manufacturers are equipping their droptops with folding metal contraptions, despite their complexity and cost. The latest example: the 2009 BMW Z4, the first roadster from the Bavarian manufacturer with a hideaway hard top. It succeeds the Z4 Roadster and Coupe. Others that have recently installed hard tops include Volkswagen's Eos, Infiniti's G37, Chrysler's... Full article...

And musicians had few outlets other than radio, the stage and album covers to burnish their brand. For many fans, it was rare to see an actor or musician personalized -- at home or behind the wheel. In 1968, Janis Joplin bought a late model Porsche 356c Cabriolet and ordered a dramatic psychedelic custom paint job with moons, Capricorns, butterflies... Full article...

This Friday the representatives of the automaker have made a statement that Dodge Viper, the company’s signature product, will be built for 2010 “and beyond”. Several weeks ago it has been noticed that the production of the car will stop in December 2009. Apparently, the new... Full article...

I hope it applies for citizenship. A powerful turbocharged all-wheel drive little coupe is the kind of citizen we need to encourage to immigrate here. The redesigned TT is already a looker, refined with a modern and graceful appearance, its curvy fenders matching the gentle slope of the roof. The TTS adds some pieces that help differentiate itself from the regular TT, but nothing... Full article...

Compared to the prototypes we saw last year, these new prototypes look almost production-ready down to the two massive, center-mounted exhaust outlets; larger, sportier wheels; and V-series badging. We can also see that this new prototype is NOT sporting cross-drilled rotors as the first prototypes were. Additionally, pieces of black tape cover the V-series badges just behind the front...
