Why Speeding Tickets in an Exotic Car Are Cool
What’s up everybody! It’s time to read some nonsense you’ve never thought about but actually makes perfect sense once you try to wrap your circuits around it. Once again, I’ll try to bridge that evident mental gap between the guy that saving up his pennies to buy his favorite car… from ... Continue Reading →
"If You Don't Ride in the Rain, You Don't Ride"
Some people like to say that if one does not ride in the rain, he or she does not ride at all. Well, there is some truth in this saying, as there is some exaggeration, as well. There's absolutely no point in calling someone less of a rider just because he or she prefers to stay at home or drive a car when it rai... Continue Reading →
How Much Should We Pay for Performance?
The belt we were all asked to tighten by men some years ago in power has never completely been loosened again, has it? I don’t care if you live in Detroit or Paris, things have changed since 2008, as you're less likely to take a 6-year loan for any old boring car with leather that you can't really aff...

No Reason to Hate Lamborghini's Super-SUV!
Lamborghini recently unveiled the Urus, which sounds like a skin disease you get from petting a bear, but is actually the first latest concept from Sant’Agata Bolognese’s latest idea for the future car. It’a an overweight, underpowered, ugly SUV, built just so Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. can make ... Continue Reading →
Bring Proper Citroens Back!
I love the original Citroen DS, don’t you? Of course you do, everybody that knows it does. People admire its teardrop shape with a proper tapered rear and its aerodynamic silhouette, as well as its cutting-edge technology for its era. Imagine yourself attending the 1955 Geneva Motor show and catching a glimp... Continue Reading →
All Cool Cars Should Go Global: Ford Gets It!
The automotive world has been taken over by this snowball effect were just about ever bit of false information is amplified, spreading like wildfire from blog to blog and from Tweet to Tweet. For too long have we car lovers seen a Golf being identical to an Audi TT, and the Gallardo as an overpriced Audi R8 V10. Thin... Continue Reading →
2012 New York: Return of Sanity and the Gearhead
Seagulls are falling from the sky, baby seals are being smothered to death by greenhouse gasses and the polar bears’ habitat is shrinking every day. These are all NOT things the automotive world should feel responsible for, but has been guilt-forced into accepting responsibility for. Certainly the times of exce... Continue Reading →
The future is bright, the future is... Orange
2044 AD. Nürburgring. Sunny with a hint of smog, but hey, this is a technologically developed society, so that’s rather normal. A bored pelican goes about his morning exercise routine on an artificial tree’s branch installed courtesy of the German state. Trees, mind you, are now merely a relic of a l... Continue Reading →
Seven Deadly Automotive Sins
Many lessons have been learned through the collapse of the US auto industry a couple of years back. Yet somehow, not everybody has taken them to heart. Just like European policymakers are taking their sweet time with the radical reform that’s needed, so too are automakers in the old world ignoring the lessons o... Continue Reading →
Elvis Would Love a BMW M6!
Not a day goes by without me thinking how “The King” was so cruelly taken from this world by the aliens who most likely wanted to turn “Hound Dog” into a galactic hit. Of course I still have to keep up with my day job at autoevolution while I ponder the mysteries of the universe. But when I fi... Continue Reading →
The Bentley SUV Needs a Makeover!
Bentley has jumped into action for Geneva, bringing not only a couple of V8-powered models, the new GT coupe and GTC convertible, and a special version of the Mulsanne luxury saloon. But what people really wanted to see was something called the EXP 9 F, a concept that’s supposed to show what the future of luxur... Continue Reading →
Green Cars and Politicians
Complicated and expensive, cars are ideal status symbols for men. And when you’re the leader of all men in your little corner of the world, the temptation to stroke your ego and change cars made under your watchful eye is immense. After all, how can you govern the sheep and not have the guts to dictate what the... Continue Reading →
What's With All the Ferrari Fires?!
There you are, in your Ferrari, which you’ve bought with the money you’ve saved up for the last four years. You’ve purchased the 458 Italia, the coupe not the convertible, because you think you have good taste. What’s more, it’s not red or yellow, because that would bring with it throwin...

The Perfect Coupe
Let’s get one thing straight here, the best sold coupes out there, the Honda Accords, the BMW 3ers, the Hyundais and the Toyota, don’t really fit the bill of being perfect two-doors in any way shape or form. And the only reason you clicked on the picture of a Ford concept to get to this article is becaus... Continue Reading →
Honda NSX Second Coming: Not Worth the Wait
When the Italians think of a supercar, the end result is usually wider than a canal boat, louder than a lion’s roar and its engine must have as many or more cylinders than you have fingers. But when the Honda came up with the original NSX in 1990, it only had two exhausts and was as simple to drive as a Civic. ... Continue Reading →
Why Nissan Should Build the Juke-R
Let me just start off by saying that no, I have not gone completely crazy just yet! I know the Juke-R is just a concept and that it can’t really be put into production, but the idea behind it is perfect for the way the market is shaped. Usually, automakers decide on a new car in a board meeting, based on market... Continue Reading →
No More Shed-Built Supercars!
The curse of the supercar industry is that while it takes heritage and prestige to sell a supercar, nothing is stopping the little man with a plan from turning a doodled sketch on the back of a napkin into something that demand the media’s attention. These days, just about anybody can buy a bucket of putty, som... Continue Reading →
Cars Designed for Women: Ridiculous!
You're probably reading this wondering why I'm torturing you with a picture of a pink 500 with crystals on it, right? Well it all started the other day, when I was watching an episode of Mad Men, not (just) because I find Christina Hendricks and January Jones to be insanely hot, but because one of my TV set...

Chevrolet Tru 140S, the Affordable Exotic and the Gen Y Buyer
Generation Y, or the Millennial Generation has always sounded to me like some sort of mutated species of beings that will replace us all, even though I technically fit the age criteria for this. It's usually looked at as some sort of marketing game that companies trying to sell us stuff play in order to disguise... Continue Reading →
Europe: Go Small, Go Crossover or Go Bust
The new year has come, and with it a slew of freshened up vehicles (yes, I mean facelifts). So that got me thinking about a subject very rarely talked about in depth here and anywhere else for that matter: the non-premium/luxury European market. And I’m not talking about the BMWs and Audis made on the old conti... Continue Reading →
