Fisker Karma the "New DeLorean"? (12 hours ago) Is anyone going to build replacement batteries? If not, these will be very collectible bricks.
Lambos Visit Sant'Agata Bolognese (May 19, 2013) Swap it back. Please.
New Trailer Previews Gran Turismo 6 (May 17, 2013) GT5 was WORTHLESS!!! Licensing classes? It should have been called DMV5. Online racing? Where? All I could ever find was 12 year olds with microphones slamming their cars into mine for no reason. Waste of electrons.
Motoring TV: Pinks (May 16, 2013) To me, the funniest part of the show is watching how much the host is in love with his own arms. He's obsessed.
Subaru BRZ Tuned to 450 HP (May 14, 2013) Everything written here is true, and if you're not spooling up all the time, you're still getting the fuel mileage of a light car with a two liter. Brilliant.
Lambo Gallardo by Dallas Performance (May 14, 2013) I love that they chose a car with a manual for this tune. Hardcore.
Lamborghini Diablo SV by Office-K (May 14, 2013) Where does the license plate go?
Lamborghini Diablo SV by Office-K (May 14, 2013) Terrible wheels, yes. But that exhaust!
P1 Supercar Sunday 2013 (May 13, 2013) Of all the cars puctured here, this one is also least likely to break, and cheapest to fix if it does. Homeboy also has some serious wontons to drive a left-hand car out on British roads.
Citroen Mehari Celebrates 45 Years (May 13, 2013) Hopefully he'll use it to shoot the car.
Citroen Mehari Celebrates 45 Years (May 13, 2013) My soul hurts
Citroen Mehari Celebrates 45 Years (May 13, 2013) Somebody please make it go away.
P1 Supercar Sunday 2013 (May 13, 2013) All the other cars can go home now.
P1 Supercar Sunday 2013 (May 13, 2013) Fwiw, I had a Roush Mustang out at Watkins Glen three weeks ago, and it destroyed every exotic there but for a Nissan GTR, which was being piloted by an excellent driver.
P1 Supercar Sunday 2013 (May 13, 2013) Still love these.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe Snapped (May 12, 2013) I just don't understand why they go through the trouble of designing a new car from the ground up and then style it so that it's almost indistinguishable from the other cars in the lineup (in this case XK).
Lamborghini Egoista Concept Unveiled (May 12, 2013) Agreed, Will. They just seem to take existing cars, then sharpen them into points and slice a hundred slits and gills into them. It's getting a bit silly.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe Snapped (May 11, 2013) I still don't understand why this car feels the need to exist.
Cars and Coffee Oklahoma City (May 11, 2013) Posers of the world, unite!
Lambo Veneno Starts its Engine (May 10, 2013) I'd feel safer driving that car on a track than into the back of that truck.
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) I like this one.
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) This was a decent car, and the SC version was actually quite good.
Dead-End Technologies: Stout Scarab (May 07, 2013) Glorious! I wish modern designers would take such risks.
Chevy Reveals Silverado High Country (May 06, 2013) Wow. A truck.
VW May Still Build BlueSport Roadster (May 05, 2013) How can it compete with BRZ/FRS when it's a convertible? Good luck getting onto a racetrack with a ragtop.
VW Scirocco Million Edition Revealed (May 05, 2013) It must be a slow news day when a sticker package makes CarBuzz.
Is the Corvette Stingray Too Heavy? (May 04, 2013) What does that matter when a 300 lb driver gets in?
Porsche Reveals New 911 Turbo (May 03, 2013) Active engine mounts? Wow!
Top 5 Shanghai Unknowns (Apr 25, 2013) Is the girl in the background trying to fight that guy?
A Watch Worthy of LaFerrari (Apr 24, 2013) Gorgeous!
Smart Producing ForJeremy Edition (Apr 24, 2013) Not for Jeremy Clarkson?
Smart Producing ForJeremy Edition (Apr 24, 2013) Oh Douglas, I wish there was a "like" button for that comment.
Saleen Reveals 351 Prototype (Apr 24, 2013) Track rats buy Roush Drag kings buy Shelby Posers buy Saleen
Maserati: EVs are "Nonsense" (Apr 23, 2013) Then they should let one of their cars race a Tesla S on a dragstrip. No nonsense.
Saleen Reveals 351 Prototype (Apr 23, 2013) @Brittany: S7 was a beast and still is, you're right. Their Mustangs are guido cruisers.
F-Type Gunning for 911 (Apr 23, 2013) Let's see how it looks in sixty years. Right now it's an upstart, a poser, and it's hard to distinguish from an XK. This car us nonsense.
F-Type Gunning for 911 (Apr 23, 2013) Convertible only? Auto only? Looks like Jag is trying to compete with the Chrysler Sebring.
Toyota Teases New 4Runner (Apr 23, 2013) A truck. Wow.
Saleen Reveals 351 Prototype (Apr 23, 2013) Because being a convertible disqualifies it from the majority of track events and hi performance driving schools. That's why. Saleen builds poser cars.
Supercars at Top Marques Monaco (Apr 23, 2013) Suzuki Samurai?
Cars and Coffee Irvine April Meet (Apr 22, 2013) Whoa!!!
Cars and Coffee Irvine April Meet (Apr 22, 2013) True unicorn
Cars and Coffee Irvine April Meet (Apr 22, 2013) Mosler?
Expensive Failures: DeLorean DMC-12 (Apr 20, 2013) There's got to be a better powerplant that would fit. It would make a cool restomod since it has no future as a real collectible.
Mazzanti Evantra Debuts in Monaco (Apr 20, 2013) "This is the coolest interior ever" Me, in 1987
Mazzanti Evantra Debuts in Monaco (Apr 20, 2013) Come at me bro!
Jaguar Delivers 1st F-Types in Style (Apr 20, 2013) And that's a late E-Type, not nearly as pretty as the earlier cars.
Jaguar F-Type Gets its Review On (Apr 20, 2013) Another boring car with another boring transmission from another boring company. It looks just like the XK. Why did they even bother to build it?
Italdesign Parcour Hits the Track (Apr 20, 2013) Carlton is right about the Pantera resemblance. I love that even with 22 inch wherls they let it have some tire height.
Jaguar Delivers 1st F-Types in Style (Apr 20, 2013) They had to put on a spectacle like this to drum up interest in yet another boring car. It doesn't even look that different from the current XK. What a waste.
Expensive Failures: Rolls-Royce Camargue (Apr 17, 2013) I don't hate this car. Had they ignored the critics and kept at it, they'd have been twenty years ahead of the Bentley Continental GT.
McLaren 12C Destroys 458 on the Strip (Apr 15, 2013) Can they give it a better name? MP4 12C K15 24T R is too clumsy.
Next Golf R to Pack 300HP? (Apr 15, 2013) It's about time considering the price premium over the GTI.
Brabus at 2013 Techno Classica Essen (Apr 14, 2013) A two year warranty on a restored classic? Brilliant!
"Rush" Trailer 2 Races In (Apr 14, 2013) This movie comes out in September? I'm going to the theater right now to stand in line. Someone bring me coffee please?
Harris Drives SLS Electric Drive (Apr 13, 2013) I love the grille treatment
Student Pens Lambo Ganador Concept (Apr 13, 2013) Dear Lamborghini, Please build this car. Sincerely, Some shnook who can't afford one.
Fisker Ready to Pull the Plug? (Apr 10, 2013) From a collector's perspective, the best thing would be to buy as many as possible.
Defunct Euro Carmakers: De Tomaso (Apr 10, 2013) Very very sharp. This is correct.
Mini to Eliminate Some Models? (Apr 09, 2013) Get rid of the coupe and Clubman. Please. Seriously.
Defunct Euro Carmakers: Facel (Apr 09, 2013) Agreed.
Defunct Euro Carmakers: Facel (Apr 09, 2013) All the players had one of these. Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Sammy Davis Jr, etc. I saw one a few years ago and it's hella cool.
Israball: Gumball 3000 Comes to Israel (Apr 09, 2013) I would go with choice three. All the muscle car cred and sensation, buy way more affordable to buy, tune, and maintain. It's the sweet spot.
Israball: Gumball 3000 Comes to Israel (Apr 09, 2013) Also, I friggin' love this car.
Israball: Gumball 3000 Comes to Israel (Apr 09, 2013) Thank you, Tim. You're exactly correct. I love events where you can pull up in a Mustang or GTI and park next to a Ferrari with all cred intact. It's a people event as much as a car event. Want exotics only? Troll the net.
Lamborghini Miura Burns in London (Apr 07, 2013) This was worse than watching that college basketball player break his leg.
Top 5 Carmakers' April Fool's Jokes (Apr 02, 2013) "Knocked up better half?" You can do better, guys.
Fisker to Develop Conventional V12 (Apr 01, 2013) Yes. This.
Garage Wrecks Mercedes 300 SL (Mar 31, 2013) Young mechanic? He was probably fiddling with his cell phone.
Wonder Woman Sportage Lands in NY (Mar 29, 2013) Is it just me or can you see her um... Her?
Defunct US Carmakers: Studebaker (Mar 28, 2013) Looks neefty
Ram Considering its own Raptor? (Mar 26, 2013) Way behind the curve.
Top 5 Pininfarina Supercars (Mar 23, 2013) I think this car was built for the chairman of the MTA.
Top 5 German Pocket Rockets (Mar 21, 2013) So it's a Golf R?
TRD Reveals $26k FR-S Supercharger (Mar 21, 2013) I bought a four year old Roush 428R Mustang for $26k.
Callaway's Shooting Brake Corvette (Mar 17, 2013) I love this.
Roush Reveals 2014 Mustangs (Mar 15, 2013) Nobody tunes Mustangs better than Roush. Nobody.
Spyker B6 Based on Artega GT? (Mar 13, 2013) I disagree, Geoff. I think that snub-nosed front is properly brutish.
Spyker B6 Based on Artega GT? (Mar 13, 2013) Spectacular.
Irmscher Reveals Inspiro Roadster (Mar 12, 2013) The nose is way too busy.
Irmscher Reveals Inspiro Roadster (Mar 12, 2013) This is completely awesome. Between this company and Weismann, I'm very impressed with the way that these German boutique firms are reviving the teardrop styling of the late 1930s.
'82 Mercedes SL by Laurence Gartel (Mar 11, 2013) The elves...
Elton John's 512 TR Up For Auction (Mar 10, 2013) You've got to love the cassette tape holders. Real 80s touch.
Elton John's 512 TR Up For Auction (Mar 10, 2013) So elegant.
Elton John's 512 TR Up For Auction (Mar 10, 2013) True Ferraristi still hate this car. Knuckleheads.
Spyker's Future Coming to Light (Mar 10, 2013) Still the hottest thing going.
4 Aventadors Take on NYC (Mar 09, 2013) Crap vid.
Great Automotive Rivalries: Shelby vs. Ferrari (Mar 09, 2013) I'm disappointed that CarBuzz couldn't find or use more historically relevant photographs. Why show this monstrosity? It looks like a Hot Wherls car.
Hennessey's Own Ford Focus ST (Mar 09, 2013) I don't see this as overpriced. It's more money than DIY, yes. But to have had your car tuned professionally by a respected firm with great pedigree is worth money. When it's time to sell the car it will command a premium over the DIY.
Villa d'Este Lines Up the Classics (Mar 07, 2013) I saw this car at the Boston Museum a few years ago. I spent at least an hour drinking it in.
Villa d'Este Lines Up the Classics (Mar 07, 2013) Favorite car ever.
Girls of Geneva 2013 (Mar 07, 2013) How'd they get Nicole Kidman?
Girls of Geneva 2013 (Mar 07, 2013) Yipes!
Top 5 Porsche Supercars (Mar 03, 2013) Incredible. To think that this car can be legally driven on public roads is amazing.
Journey to the Land of Lancia (Mar 03, 2013) I loved the video too. I really like what Petrolicious has been doing.
Mercedes G65 AMG by A.R.T. (Mar 03, 2013) It's not tasteless, Taras. It's got lots of bad taste.
Mercedes G65 AMG by A.R.T. (Mar 03, 2013) Those are speed holes, they make the car go faster.
The Chinese Are Building Lambos (Mar 02, 2013) This looks awesome. They should leave it unpainted.
Mercedes Offers Illuminated Star (Feb 28, 2013) Attention all directors of rap videos...
Classic Clarkson: Mercedes SLR McLaren (Feb 25, 2013) Hard to compare it to the Carrera GT, though. This one was never offered with a manual transmission. This is a poser's car. Carrera GT was hardcore.
