The economy has hit most of us hard. And car companies are responding by offering more for less. (Which is so nice of them to do, considering we “own” most of them.) And the newly redesigned 2010 Mazda3 mixes sports car drivability and compact affordability. In a car...

Here’s a clip from the upcoming Transformers II movie/GM commercial where the new Stingray will make its debut. Let’s hope, like with the Camaro, the response will be so huge, Chevy will actually produce the thing. Instead of just leaving us drooling. (BTW –...

GM just released video of the new Corvette Stingray concept and it’s pretty impressive. (And there’s a couple more pics below the vid clip.) Dipping into the retro design well that was so good to them when designing the new Camaro, this ‘Vette concept brings...

Bringing back the gritty, old-school garage features – like front fork gaiters, drag style handlebar and a side-mount license plate holder – the Iron 883 is Harley-Davidson’s new black powder-coated beast. “Black” being the key word. You’re not...
