Honda’s green concepts on display in Tokyo are destined for showrooms. The automaker has officially confirmed that both the FCX and a car based on the CR-Z that was unveiled just hours ago will make the transition to production. Regarding the FCX, there won’t be long to wait, as the automaker will pull the covers […]

A press event has never been so well attended, or dangerously overcrowded. But we got to the front in time to watch in car footage of a GT-R lapping the Nurburgring in 7:38.5, then out came Carlos to claim that his new baby is the best that Nissan has ever produced - and we’re inclined […]

We’ve gone from being disappointed by the new Impreza, to pleasantly surprised by the WRX, to smitten by the STI. It looked OK in silver as the dust sheet came off, but stunning in metallic black on the Subaru stand??’s floor. The new STI??’s exterior details that set it apart from lesser siblings do not […]

There hasn’t been a BMW M3 sedan since the E36 generation, but that doesn’t mean BMW has forgotten how to build a fast saloon car.

It’s not commonly known, but jet lag is cured by high-speed injections of German autobahn, a volksremedium we discovered long ago, at 180 mph in a Porsche 928 S4.
And it still works. Better than melatonin, mile-high liaisons, or other familiar folk remedies, there’s no surer cure for jet lag than redlining a Porsche on an […]

There`s a revolution on the way in the new car market. Although sales in the large family class are dwind­ling, the quality of the models available has never been better.
The latest Mondeo is one of the best cars Ford has ever produced, while the next-generation Vauxhall Vectra - due in dealers in autumn next year […]

Los Angeles, California - As the LA morning fog slowly burned away, I wheeled the silver Mercedes-Benz SL roadster away from the swank Beverley Wilshire Hotel and onto Rodeo Drive.
