| Honda Presents All-New Civic Tourer with More Luggage Space than VW Golf Variant [w/Video] Posted: 10 Aug 2013 04:15 PM PDT  The great thing about releasing a new model in August before the alternating Frankfurt and Paris Motor Shows in September is that you gain more attention from the press and consequently, readers and consumers. The negative aspect, of course, is that most of the times, everyone loses interest about said product by the time the show comes. In the case of Honda, the Japanese automaker decided that for its brand-new Civic Tourer, it would be wiser to reveal the compact station wagon to the online world now, several weeks ahead of the Frankfurt auto show.

| New Mazda Deep Orange is a 6-Seater Hybrid Concept Built by Students [w/Video] Posted: 10 Aug 2013 01:30 PM PDT  What is that you say – the Mazda concept pictured above kind of reminds you of a Tesla? Well, that may partially hold true for the front-end aesthetics, but the rest of the body has nice edgy shape to it that manages to neatly hide the fact that it's a practical hatchback with seating for 6 or rather, 3+3. The name of the study is Mazda Deep Orange. It was built by engineering students at the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR), and designed by student Frederick Naaman at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, with Mazda overseeing the project.

| Posted: 10 Aug 2013 12:45 PM PDT  If you're into cars, chances are you will also find other types of vehicles interesting – even vans, whether they are front-, mid- or rear-engined, big or small. However, when checking out a van, one needs to look at things from a different perspective compared to the way they normally do when dealing with regular cars. Read more »    |

| Poll: Which French Small Crossover Would You Have, the Renault Captur or the Peugeot 2008? Posted: 10 Aug 2013 11:15 AM PDT  We recently talked about how and why Peugeot was going to double the production for the 2008 crossover, in order to keep up with surprisingly high demand from around the world. Their Mulhouse plant, located in the east of France, close to the German and Swiss borders will be running two shifts as of September, in order to cover the already large number of orders (around 16,000).

| Canadian Aerial Water Bomber Extinguishes Dangerous Truck Fire Posted: 10 Aug 2013 09:34 AM PDT  "Wow" is the first word that comes to mind after watching this video of a giant water-bombing aircraft dropping a gush of water and fire retardant on a grader and a transport truck in rural Canada. Before you question the rationale of flying a firefighting airplane to an automotive accident scene, you may want to know that local authorities made the decision because the crash between the grader and the truck occurred in a remote location on the Trans-Labrador Highway and emergency vehicles were miles away.
