Mazda MX-5 Superlight Concept Leaked

Posted: 11 Sep 2009 09:31 AM PDT

The Mazda MX-5 has become one of the best selling convertibles of all time thanks to its simple, unchanging formula of low weight and fun dynamics - a formula that has served it well for the two decades that it has been in production now.

BMW Releases Second Teaser Of Vision EfficientDynamics Concept

Posted: 28 Aug 2009 08:17 AM PDT

As soon as spy images of a mysterious BMW concept emerged earlier this month, BMW said the car pictured was nothing but an old aerodynamics test mule, certainly not a new concept due for debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.

GM Chairman wants to see models on sale ahead of schedule

Posted: 05 Aug 2009 12:42 PM PDT

In a market where only about 10 million cars are expected to be sold annually - down from 16 million last year - every tenth of a percent of market share counts.

Tire manufacturer Kumho unveils 'green' Fortis concept

Posted: 30 Jul 2009 06:01 PM PDT

Kumho appears to be a tire manufacturer with a little bit of a conscience. It produces millions of tires for today's SUVs, but is acutely aware that such vehicles will have to change dramatically if they are to survive ever greener vehicular legislation. They will also have to provide a better balance of on and off-road ability. To ..

Production Volkswagen Bluesport roadster still a possibility?

Posted: 13 Jul 2009 07:20 AM PDT

When it first appeared in Detroit back in January the Bluesport concept stirred talk of the revival of the roadster segment, and especially the Porsche 914 and 356. Unfortunately, the Porsche's rebirth was ruled out last month, and this had led to fears that the same fate may ensue for a planned production version of the Bluesport concept. ..

Aston Martin Cygnet: Handcrafted, too?

Posted: 06 Jul 2009 09:30 AM PDT

Whatever you make of Aston Martin's wacky plan to take the Toyota iQ city car and turn it into a swan of its own, you have to credit the British luxury automaker. Not only will it take on the green movement with a four-seat, 1.0-liter car badge engineered from the Toyota - it will do it with the bespoke ordering customary to all Aston Martin ..
