This is the really rather mad Ariel Atom V8. Thats right, this tiny little track-biased car has an eight-cylinder engine driving its rear wheels. And its a 3.0-litre V8 that produces 500bhp at 10,600rpm, to give the new Ariel Atom V8 a Bugatti-beating 909bhp/tonne. There are things that can be...

You can get an optional 6-speed manual.

That is just the sportronic automatic shifter BMW uses in the larger vehicles. It's pretty simple to use.

WOW!! I really like this design.

It based on a Fit platform and uses the same 1.5. It was zippy in sport mode. What kills this car for me is the lack of gas mileage being a sporty hybrid. The auto is rated at 35hwy and the 6spd is rated at 37 hwy. That is low for a hybrid. Plus I would get less than that because I would be the...

I do not think it has anything to do with the EPA.

Mazda is poised to completely reinvent itself by launching a new multi-purpose platform, a new chassis and suspension set-up, an advanced six-speed automatic box and a pair of uniquely engineered Sky petrol and diesel engines. These should be among the most fuel-efficient engines on sale. The...

I would like to see the Mustang become the American brenchmark. Both the Camaro and Challenger are just very lacking in my opinion. Ford has the right stuff to bring to the American musclecar war and to go after the Germans and Japanese. But the Mustang being king of the hill might or will be...
