| Sub-Optimal Walken Experience: Kia’s Super Bowl Ad Blows a Great Bad Pun |
Feb 2nd, 2016 |
|
We love a good pun. Or a bad pun. Or any pun at all, really.

| A Ferrari SUV? “You Have to Shoot Me First,” Says Sergio |
Feb 2nd, 2016 |
|
Now that Ferrari is a publicly traded enterprise (NYSE: RACE), the question for fans of the marque is whether—or, more accurately, to what degree—the attendant financial pressures will affect the cars that it builds.

|
While Volkswagen has done an admirable job of keeping W.O. Bentley’s name at the forefront of the ultra-luxe brand he founded, and the Charles Rolls/Henry Royce duo looms large in the minds of gearheads with sybaritic tendencies, your average layman gives not two whits about the men behind the names; the brand is all.

| 2016 Chevrolet Malibu 1.5T Tested: Finally the Car You Knew America Could Build? |
Feb 2nd, 2016 |
|
When Chevy brought back the Malibu nameplate for 1997, the resultant automobile carried the treacly tagline “The car you knew America could build,” as if to finally admit that the preceding two decades of Chevrolet automobiles had largely been misbegotten junk. That car still lacked the style and quality of the Japanese offerings of the […]
