Oct 3rd, 2014 |
|
We’ve known it was coming for quite some time now, but at the Paris motor show, Mitsubishi finally gonged the aging Lancer Evolution off the stage. Or rather, quietly, in an aside to the U.K.’s Autocar: “It will not exist as we know it. It will be replaced in spirit by an SUV with high performance.” It […]

| Nissan Pulsar: One Hell of a Sentra Hatchback—and There Could Be a NISMO Version |
Oct 3rd, 2014 |
|
In the U.S., Nissan’s small-car lineup is like watching late-night skin flicks on Cinemax—you’re technically getting what you want, but a lot is left to be desired. In Europe, on the other hand, Nissan’s compact rides are much more well equipped and satisfying. Take, for example, the Nissan Note, a loose cousin to our Versa […]

|
Since debuting its little Fit-based subcompact SUV in Tokyo last year, Honda has done only two things that matter to Americans: confirmed that, yes, it would be sold here and announced that it would wear HR-V badging.

Oct 3rd, 2014 |
|
A one-off Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with “rust-effect” Iron Peltrox textured paint on a show stand in Europe? It doesn’t mean Kilroy was here, but it does mean Mopar has been.

| A Pair of Peugeots Debuts in Paris: One Prescient (and Possibly Good for 141 mpg), One Practical |
Oct 2nd, 2014 |
|
Standing in stark contrast to the bizarre and unique Peugeot Exalt and Quartz concept cars at the 2014 Paris auto show are the brand’s other two debuts. The two more buttoned-up Peugeots, the 208 HYbrid Air 2L concept and new 308 GT, lack bare-steel body surfacing, shark-skin trim, and stunning concept-car looks, but make up for it […]
