Pop Sci Takes a Deeper Look at the Terrafugia Transition

Terrafugia - and Popular Science - are quick to point out that the Transition isn’t a flying car. It’s a roadable aircraft. And while not nearly as cool looking as Moller’s SkyCar, the Transition will supposedly ACTUALLY be available next year for the low, low, LOW price of just $194,000. Read more after the clicky [...]

Depression, Schmepression: Alfa Sells Out 8C in U.S.

While plenty of people are panicking about the tumbling stock market and general financial / economic situation here and abroad, Alfa Romeo is not one of those people.
Maserati dealers in the U.S. have begun taking orders for Alfa’s ridiculously hot 8C Competizione. And have stopped taking orders, since they’re all already spoken for. Damn.

Lamborghini ‘Estoque’ Four-Door Shown in Full

While the rumored name has changed from ‘Urus’ to ‘Estoque’, this Lamborghini sedan concept has only gotten more exciting. Thanks to some French car website, we now have full-on shots of the car. It looks better from some angles than others, but like most Lamborghinis, I imagine to see one on the street will be [...]

Automotive Teasing, European Style

It’s bad enough being in Chicago, where the annual Auto Show is little more than a pre-sales experience. But to know that the Paris Motor Show is just around the corner, and that it’ll be host to these three cars, which are infinitely cooler than anything shown off here this past year, is just tragic.

Chevy Volt Gets Official, Looks…Interesting

I appreciate that Chevy is using the Volt to “usher in GM’s second 100 years” but I just don’t see the Volt being the car to guarantee that proposed longevity. Hit the clicky thingie to read more about the Volt and find out why…

Eclipse 400 Personal Jet Offers Bond-Like Coolness and Luxury

Remember that scene in Octopussy when Roger Moore pulled his little fold-up personal jet out of the back of a horse trailer and flew away, only to later require refueling at a local hillbilly gas stop? Well now you can be just about as cool, and infinitely more comfortable with Eclipse Aviation’s Eclipse 400 personal [...]

Tabbert Paganini Puts the “bling” in Caravanning, er, Caravanbling

Ok, so maybe that was a stretch, but speaking of stretch (here I go again), imagine stretching out the miles on your next caravanning trip with the Tabbert Paganini. This 660cm (a little over 21.5′ long) caravan ain’t your typical Winnebago.
The satiny-silver colored camping trailer almost looks like an Airstream that won the lottery and [...]

Audi A7 Rendered in Jaw-Dropping Gorgeousness

It’s been known for some time that Audi’s been planning a car to compete with the wildly successful Mercedes CLS “coupe” (a designation which, at the very least, I find annoying). Questionable labels aside, the recent announcement that Audi plans to ignore the current trend in downsizing and model dropping due to climbing fuel prices [...]

Is This the Lanspeeder Replicar You’re Looking For?

It doesn’t actually hover - or swing around on a crane boom - but this custom-made, actual-size Landspeeder replicar will cruise along at a modest 25mph on its electric drive system. Built by Daniel Deutsch, the Landspeeder is primarily fiberglass on a custom aluminum chassis and even has custom lights and sounds to mimic what [...]

2011 Chevy Cruze Isn’t Hideous

Here are a few pix of the 2011 Chevy Cruze. Visually, I don’t really like the silly split-grille design aped from the current Malibu, nor do I appreciate the chromed bar on the back. The Chevy logo is too big, and for heaven’s sake why on earth is it gold?! Those elements aside, the Cruze [...]
