| Russian Subaru Ad Pokes Fun at Dash-Cams Posted: 25 Apr 2014 05:03 PM PDT  We don't know if the idea behind this amusing Russian TV ad for the Subaru XV is original or not, or if it's even an actual official Subaru video (for what it's worth, Subaru Russia did promote it on its social media pages). Russians use dash-mounted cameras to help themselves steer clear of insurance scammers, so as to always have video proof of their innocence. Read more »        |

| Yay or Nay for $65k 2012 Camaro-Based Pontiac Trans Am Bandit? Posted: 25 Apr 2014 02:41 PM PDT  More than sixty grand is a lot of money for a used car, even more so for an aftermarket build that pays tribute to a dead brand and vehicle range – in this instance, the fire-breathing Pontiac Trans Am Bandit, based on a 2012 Camaro Convertible 2SS V8, which you can jump into brand new for $43,250.

| How Did They Shoehorn it in? Smart with Big Block V8 Posted: 25 Apr 2014 12:12 PM PDT  If you ever felt that even in Brabus guise, any Smart car is just a boring (and slightly overpriced) way of getting two people around a city, then letting them park nose-first to the pavement, then you are absolutely right.

| Would You Have a BMW M235i Over a Used M3 CSL E46? Posted: 25 Apr 2014 10:30 AM PDT  For BMW M3 E46 Coupe owners and fans, the limited production CSL edition is the Holy Grail of the series, and perhaps one of the most desirable M-badged cars ever built. Too bad if you live in North America, though, as it was never imported here. Overall, only 1,400 cars were produced for its 2004 model year run, all finished in Silver Grey Metallic or Black Sapphire Metallic. Read more »    |
| Turn Heads in this Spiffy Honda N600 Kei Car Posted: 25 Apr 2014 09:56 AM PDT  While clearly a flagrant copy of the classic Mini's signature design, the Honda N600 kei car is now old enough that nobody cares and is probably much more reliable than the British car anyway.

| Respect Your Elders: 1970s Ford Falcon GT vs Lamborghini Gallardo Posted: 25 Apr 2014 09:01 AM PDT  Don't look at the current mess that is Ford of Australia; back in the days, years and even decades before the Germans invented the M, RS and AMG badges for their sedans, the Aussies were pumping out cars like the 1971 Ford XY Falcon GTHO Phase III, widely regarded as, if not the, one of the fastest production saloons of its time with a top speed of 141.5 mph (227.7 km/h).

| New System will Detect Drowsiness via Steering Wheel Input Posted: 25 Apr 2014 08:37 AM PDT  Using sensors to monitor the driver's face, drowsiness detectors are claimed to be a great way of cutting the number of road accidents. It's not the only way to do it, though, as researchers from the Washington State University (or WSU) have developed and are testing a totally different approach that constantly checks the position and movement of the steering wheel.

| VW Golf GTI W12 650 Concept Replica is a Sheep in Wolf's Clothing Posted: 25 Apr 2014 06:28 AM PDT  Appearances can be deceiving.
