These new VW GTI ads are fantastic. Perfectly executed “Unpimp My Ride” promos. You have to watch these.

Top Gear Gran Turismo

Ever wonder how good of a racecar driver you are right after you play a good round of Gran Turismo? Ever wonder how realistic the Laguna Seca racetrack is in that game? Well, so did Jeremy Clarkson from the ridiculously great car show Top Gear, that we’ve written about before.
He played the Laguna Seca course […]

I haven’t done any research on Honda’s plans for US release (or lack there of), but I ran across this awesome awesome commercial for it. Honda’s been known to have some great commercials (well, at least one other one Chris […]

2007 Camaro concepts

If the 2007 Camaro looks anything like these concepts, I am getting one. I like this better than the Corvette, better than the Mustang, better than every other American “muscle car.” Stunning design.

ariel atom

The Ariel Atom is a tiny, two-seater, 500kg, 4-wheeled, open-aired, windshield-less and radio-less “car” that costs under 30K (pounds) and outperforms a $500K Porsche Carerra GT. It uses a Honda Civic VTEC engine fitted with a supercharger to produce 300HP: that equals 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, if “you can shift fast enough.” And it’s gorgeous […]
