| What Do You Think About Tesla Model S with Yellow and Rose Gold Colored Rims? Posted: 04 Feb 2014 02:40 PM PST  At first, you may be quick to discard gold-colored alloy wheels as being too flashy or gaudy, but in some cars finished in certain shades, they can look pretty neat – and yes, the car we're thinking of is the Subaru Impreza WRX STI in the brand's traditional rally-blue hue. But how about a Tesla Model S? Read more »    |

| Ram's New 1500 EcoDiesel EPA Rated at 28MPG Highway, Beats Every Pickup Truck in the Market Posted: 04 Feb 2014 02:21 PM PST  If you're into cars, then you should be aware of the benefits of diesel engines, especially on commercial vehicles and trucks in general, where fuel economy and torque matter the most. American automakers are slowly catching up and adopting the use of diesel powertrains in their bestselling models, which are none other than pickup trucks. We knew that the Chrysler Group's new diesel-powered Ram 1500 would excel in fuel economy and now, EPA has proved us right with the rear-wheel drive version of the truck earning ratings of 28mpg (8.4l/100km) highway, 20mpg (11.8l/100km) city and 23mpg (10.2l/100km) combined.

| Paul Walker's Nissan Skyline GT-R from Fast&Furious 4 up for Sale for $1.35 Million Posted: 04 Feb 2014 01:01 PM PST  Sadly, whenever a famous person perishes, we tend to see a spike in memorabilia items -be that in terms of quantity or prices. To be fair, however, the current seller of the original Nissan Skyline GT-R driven by the late Paul Walker in the 2009 'Fast and Furious 4' movie, has pledged to donate half the proceeds of the sale to the actor's charity Reach Out World Wide (ROWW).

| Jaguar Posts Mean-Spirited Tweet About Maserati’s Ghibli… Posted: 04 Feb 2014 10:21 AM PST  Jaguar must really have some issues with itself as a brand, if its idea of funny, witty commercials revolves around poking its rivals with a stick. I mean, the Maserati Ghibli is a nice car, and I find it much more desirable than the XF, a car whose leather-wrapped steering wheel disintegrates after a few tens of thousands of miles and is not known to be built that much better than what we've come to expect from Italian cars… Read more »    |
