Philippines Customs Confiscate Illegally Imported McLaren MP4-12C

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 04:24 PM PDT


Working as a customs officer, one intercepts a huge variety of goods that would have otherwise illegally made their way into the country. However, aside from drugs, bombs and various common items of contraband, apparently exclusive cars are also a target for shady entrepreneurs.

So, if you want buying advice, CR is a good place to start your inquiries.

Now, the publication's automotive testers have aired the pilot episode for a new chat show, called 'Cars', where viewers phone in and ask for advice. The three hosts then begin asking questions themselves, before both them and the caller agree on a course of action.

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 02:00 PM PDT


Jeep is saying that the all-new 2014Cherokee is the "most capable mid-size SUV" (they fail to mention, in which areas, though).

Keen to prove that the brand is heading in the right direction, and keeping true to its core attribute of excellent off-road ability, they have now released a short video, which shows the awkwardly-styled SUV negotiating some pretty serious terrain – a place a where a rock-crawler would be much more at home.

We already have a modern interpretation of the E-Type, in the form of the very pretty Eagle Speedster, but that still retains the same design elements of the classic.

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 12:34 PM PDT


Experienced rally-goers (of the automotive, not the demonstration type) usually try to pick a good spot on a race course where they can observe the racecars as they pass by.

This group of spectators at the Race Rent Cup 2013, which took place in southeastern Poland earlier this month, chose one of the best spots, as they had more than their fair share of spectacular incidents caused by the slippery conditions of the road that led to a number of racecars into a ditch.

Just take one good look at the revised LS, especially in F-Sport trim – it is considerably more aggressive than anything they've previously done, especially on a big heavy barge like their flagship.
