| Rally-Car Rivalry: 2011 Subaru WRX vs 2010 Mitsubishi Ralliart Posted: 19 Jul 2010 04:49 PM PDT  With an editorial staff, split across the country and even in Australia, we're often hard-pressed to do the sorts of comparison tests that are very helpful in sorting out rival models. But sometimes the stars align just right, as they recently did when I returned on a flight, fresh from driving the new 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX, and hopped right...

| Report: Nissan Considering LEAF-Based Electric Sports Car Posted: 19 Jul 2010 02:00 PM PDT  As the upper echelon of the world's carmakers proceed merrily with plans for all-electric supercars, and the econo-car market begins to get crowded with announced EV entries as well, it seems like the sports car enthusiast is being left out.

| Break Out Those Checkbooks: GM Puts Incentives On 2009-2010 Corvette ZR1 Posted: 19 Jul 2010 11:30 AM PDT  The Corvette ZR1 is definitely one of the best, if not the single best, performance-per-dollar buy around.

| General Motors Adds A Brand, Launches No-Frills Sedan In China Posted: 19 Jul 2010 07:53 AM PDT  Here in the U.S., General Motors and its chairman/CEO Ed Whitacre have sold off brands -- or at least tried to -- like they were going out of business. In China, however, where the economy is robust and the auto market remains strong, GM has launched a new car brand to lure lower-income and first-time buyers into showrooms. The brand is called...

| Three Million Germans Congregate On Stretch Of Autobahn Posted: 19 Jul 2010 01:00 AM PDT  Things slowed down considerably over the weekend on one of Germany's busiest stretches of the autobahn as three million revelers came out to celebrate the "Still Life" cultural festival. The event saw a 37 mile stretch of the autobahn--the part that crosses the Ruhr region in the North Rhine-Westphalia state--closed off so that millions of people...
