Chicago Auto Show – Audi Allroad

Well, it’s a sad thing that the A4 Avant is leaving the U.S., but at least Audi is bringing back the Allroad. The last Allroad was based on the A6 and disappeared when the Q7 was released. The new Allroad based on the A4 and rides on the Q5 platform, giving it about 1.5″ higher […]

Bewerp Savage Looks the Business

We see a lot of supercars and supercar concepts come and go, but as these things go, the Bewerp Savage is pretty outstanding. Oh, and it’s actually real.

Even People with Smart ForTwos Need to Lug Stuff

This morning after dropping off my dry cleaning, I noticed this Smart ForTwo in the parking lot with a bike rack on the back, and I couldn’t help but wondering if the bike was bigger than the car and if, when mounted, the whole car would tip over just like Fred Flintstone’s when he got […]

Ferrari’s Gorgeous New 458 Italia: Molto Impressionante!

You know, I’m much more a Lamborghini guy than a Ferrari guy. And it’s a Ferrari, which means it’ll be fast and sexy and red but probably break down a lot. But wow, this is one gorgeous example of automotive design right here folks. The 458 Italia is replacing the F430 and will be powered […]
