| Mazda Miata Could Also Spawn Second-Gen Toyota and Subaru Sports Cars |
Jun 26th, 2015 |
|
Is there nothing the new Mazda Miata cannot do? We’ve been singing its praises since the new model debuted, and other carmakers also seem to be hip to the little Mazda’s greatness. We already knew that Fiat will resurrect the 124 Spider using the Miata as a base. Now it appears that Toyota is eying […]

| Turbo Time: Lexus IS200t to Replace IS250 |
Jun 26th, 2015 |
|
The Lexus IS has been an outlier among compact luxury sedans, with its V-6–only engine lineup. Well, no more. Lexus has unveiled the IS200t, which will use the brand’s 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and which will replace the IS250 as the entry model in the series. The 2.0-liter is currently in the NX200t, where it makes […]

| Audi’s Latest Quattro Project Is an All-Wheel-Drive Moon Rover |
Jun 25th, 2015 |
|
Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system appears in a lot of different vehicles, from the small and sort-of-affordable A3 mini-luxury sedan to the fire-breathing R8 supercar.

The competition, sponsored by […]

Jun 25th, 2015 |
|
Whoever runs Lego’s design department has excellent taste in cars, at least judging by which classic models have been turned into Lego Creator kits. The Mini Cooper. The 1962 Volkswagen Camper Van. The Mercedes-Benz Unimog. And now the Ferrari F40. Yes, Lego’s latest true-to-the-original car kit is a $89.99 Ferrari F40. Not only does that […]

| 2015 Infiniti QX80 Review: House of Luxe |
Jun 25th, 2015 |
|
We have entered the era of 1990s nostalgia—Kurt Cobain documentaries, the return of Jerry Seinfeld (in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee), and the reemergence of opulent, gas-guzzling, full-size SUVs. It’s true that sales of compact crossovers—and even subcompact crossovers—are booming, but the big-SUV market is still rich. When the Infiniti QX56 debuted in 2004, it […]

| Group B For You, For Me! MTM Announces 421-hp Audi A1 Quattro Group B |
Jun 25th, 2015 |
|
Audi’s diminutive A1 remains frittata non grata here in the United States. Elsewhere, it’s a small car for people who need a small car, but would prefer a veneer of Ingostadtian niceness applied to the thing. Roland Meyer, former Audi engineer and current proprietor of the MTM tuning house, decided he’d give the little runabout […]
