Oct 26th, 2012 |
|
In Europe, Mazda is building a Mazda6 coupe to compete against the Audi A5 and S5. In boxing, this is called “punching above your weight.” In skeptic’s terms, this is called “nonsense.” Or is it? A rendering from AutoExpress shows that the styling of the 6 sedan translates surprisingly well to losing two doors. Mazda [...]

Oct 26th, 2012 |
|
From the “Why The Hell Not?” files, Aston Martin wants to give its ugly-duckling Cygnet some more of that vaunted Aston Martin mystique and desirability, none of which the Toyota iQ-based practical joke possesses.
