| Meet the 2014 Holden Commodore VF and Consequently, the Chevrolet SS [74 Pics & Videos] Posted: 09 Feb 2013 06:27 PM PST  What GM's Holden unit declares as the "most technologically-advanced car ever created in Australia", and we'll add to that, perhaps one of the better-looking to come out from the Land Down Under, the new Commodore VF, was finally unveiled today during an exclusive event in the city of Melbourne. Ironically, it may also be the last Australian-designed and engineered rear-wheel drive, Commodore as Holden itself has announced that it will replace the car with a new model in 2017.

| Audi A1 Quattro Versus the Original Ur-Quattro from 1989 Posted: 09 Feb 2013 07:29 AM PST  The original Ur-Quattro from the 1980s is the quintessential Audi that defined the brand with the four-ring logo, both on the track and on the showroom floors. While it's a completely different world today, some things remain the same for Audi, including its love for all-wheel drive sports cars. Audi says the spirit and soul of the Ur-Quattro lives on many of its modern-day creations, such as the limited-run A1 Quattro, of which only 333 examples were produced. Read more »   |
