Even though new-car sales were off in June, are car shoppers any closer to getting a really good deal this July?

Lexus Lures Andy Samberg, Tracy Morgan, Jamie Kennedy To The Dark Side

Posted: 06 Jul 2010 08:32 AM PDT

During the 2010 New York Auto Show, Lexus hosted a debate to hype its new hybrid, the CT 200h. Dubbed "The Darker Side of Green", the face-off featured eco-tech enthusiast Amanda Little, global-warming denier Phelim McAleer, and moderator Sarah Silverman. We were very, very dubious.

If you're trying to pinch pennies with your next vehicle purchase and not sure about the extra cost of a factory-option in-car nav system, don't get it.

You can have your Dreyfusses and Lohans--for our money, George Michael is the Worst Celebrity Driver Ever. This weekend, Michael hit a building after only recently getting his driver's license back from his last scuff with the law. In 2007, Michael was found under the influence of drugs in his Range Rover--in the middle of a London intersection...


2011 Smart Fortwo Preview

Posted: 06 Jul 2010 03:12 AM PDT

The Smart brand has enjoyed modest success in the U.S. since its launch here back in 2007 but with a lack of any new models or updates, the oddly-designed minicar brand has fallen largely off the radar of late. That's all about to change as a facelifted 2011 Smart Fortwo has just been revealed ahead of its debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show in...
