| Volvo's Stunning New Concept Coupe Revives the P1800 Spirit [64 Photos & Video] Posted: 28 Aug 2013 04:07 PM PDT  We can't really remember the last time that a Volvo truly made our heart miss a beat, but it seems to be succeeding in doing so with its spanking-new Concept Coupé that was revealed today following a series of mischievous teasers, and ahead of its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. It's the first Volvo to be penned under the direction of the Swedish brand's new design chief Thomas Ingenlath and also the first of a series of three concept cars that portray the design possibilities created by the automaker's new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) that frees it from the limitations of its Ford-sourced platforms.

| US Safety Official Proposes That Google Self-Driving Cars Also Record Driver Posted: 28 Aug 2013 02:32 PM PDT  The year 2013's most hotly debated topic so far is the privacy scandal sparked by former NSA employee turned whistleblower Edward Snowden, and his contested revelations. We now bring your attention to Google, one of the names thrown around in the NSA leaks scandal mentioned above, which would like, as per the proposition of top US safety official Deborah Hersman, to also have its self-driving cars record every little move that the owner makes. The argument for is that most new cars are already fitted with some kind of black box, while the argument against infers that not only is the latter completely wrong, but that data gathering has no place fitted to self-driving vehicles either.

| Lady Stands Her Ground and Won't Let U.S. Border Officers Check Her Car Posted: 28 Aug 2013 11:59 AM PDT  We don't know if we should admire or take this female driver's tenacity against a group of U.S. border patrol officers lightly and crack a smile at the whole situation that erupted when she refused to let them take a look into her car at a border checkpoint. The woman was behind the wheel with her friend (or husband, we don't know) filming the incident from the passenger seat. When the first officer comes over, he orders her to park her car in a designated area to which she replies, "No, are you detaining me? Am I free to go?" Read more »   |

| There's No Petting the Hamsters in the Latest Kia Soul Ad with Lady Gaga's Applause Posted: 28 Aug 2013 10:34 AM PDT  I don't really know what caused the Kia Soul to be such a big hit in the US. Was it all down to the hamster marketing, or did the car's qualities also come into play?
