Got What It Takes To Be America's Worst Driver?

Posted: 10 Mar 2010 12:25 PM PST

Although reality TV as a genre is about as played-out as can be in most respects, one thing we haven't seen enough of (or much of at all) in reality shows is driving. A new show called America's Worst Driver plans to challenge the notion of what makes a good or bad driver as well as showcase how ridiculously bad some licensed drivers can be. The...


Ford's Next Target For Online Marketing: The 2011 Super Duty

Posted: 10 Mar 2010 12:24 PM PST

  Pickup owners often get saddled with a fairly a narrow stereotype. They're labeled as conservative, church-going, salt-of-the-earth NASCAR types who watch a lot of football and lack college degrees. As a result, many automakers assume that truck buyers don't have the technical skill, the funds, or the interest to use the internet as much as...


Chevrolet Goes Social At SXSW

Posted: 10 Mar 2010 09:41 AM PST

When it comes to getting younguns interested in its vehicles, General Motors hasn't been as aggressive as some of its competitors in exploiting Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, and other social media services. That may change over the next week and a half, however, as Chevrolet schleps to the heart of Texas for Austin's annual South By Southwest...


Ford Mustang Timeline: The Good, The Bad, and The Muscly

Posted: 10 Mar 2010 08:00 AM PST

The Ford Mustang is one of a handful of cars rightfully called icons. Since its first spin on a car-show turntable at the World's Fair in 1964, it's been the auto industry's standard measure of overnight success. And for at least some of its wild youth, it was the cautionary tale of what happens when a celebrity hits the skids. This month we're...


Ford's New 5.0 V-8: Back In Black, And Ready For The Track

Posted: 10 Mar 2010 08:00 AM PST

The 5.0 is back, and Ford didn't take the opportunity lightly. The 2011 Ford Mustang GT will pack a 412-horsepower, 5.0-liter V-8 that for all practical purposes is an all-new engine. A very stoutly built, race-ready one at that. Along with the 3.7-liter V-6 that will also be introduced in the 2011 Ford Mustang, Ford suddenly has a completely...


2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gets Carbon Limited Edition Model

Posted: 09 Mar 2010 10:10 PM PST

When the 2006 Corvette Z06 was introduced, it represented the closest connection to the Corvette race cars ever. The 2009 Corvette ZR1 closed the gap between racing and production even further. This year, Chevrolet continues its tradition of track-to-street technology transfer with the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition. The car is...

Posted: 09 Mar 2010 08:19 PM PST

The latest incarnation of the Charger is entering its fourth year of production, though lack of sales is not something Dodge is worried about. This can be attributed to its unique styling, which still looks fresh after all these years. The 2010 Dodge Charger has hardly changed, maintaining its sleek profile, which blends modern sedan styling...
