Has the world gone mad? Did pigs just fly by my window? An American car acknowledged on the world stage for its design.

Volkswagen is responsible for some of the best car advertising of all time, this one, though, is a little bit esoteric. The ad is promoting Volkswagen’s Lane Assist technology and does so by using a man dressed a bear while using a jack hammer. Lane Assist will be seen in VW models such as the [...]
After an unfulfilled Australian Grand Prix local hope Mark Webber felt he had something to prove in Malaysia.

If you’re a Gen-Xer like me then Ferris Bueller’s Day Off will be right up there with one of your favourite films of all time. Just one of the things that made the movie great was the Ferrari 250GT Spyder California belonging to Cameron’s dad. The good news for cashed up Gen-Xers is that they [...]
McLaren are pushing their MP4-12C supercar pretty hard. And that’s not pushing the performance envelope, either. While they are doing that, no doubt, they are also hyping this car and making sure it remains at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Remember, the 12C isn’t due for customer deliveries until early 2011 (or possibly late 2010). [...]
