Usually Jay Leno likes to drive the the crazy original and crazy expensive exotic cars that he highlights on his web videos as part of Jay Leno's garage. Oh no…but not this time. There's something about the 1000 horsepower Rocket II Trike that either has Leno spooked, or perhaps violates a "Jay won't do anything [...]
You've probably heard the rumors as well. You have right? You know…that Bugatti plans on building a 1200 horsepower limited edition Veyron Supersport (certainly not pictured above) that will sell for about 2.5 million USD.

If you live in California, Michigan and Washington D.C. and you want to buy GM's new Volt electric hybrid car you could get a free home charging station from Uncle Sam.

Here's an interesting question with a photo answer (see above). What would you get if you mated a Mercedes-Benz G class SUV with a port-o-potty? The answer is pictured above, but officially it is called the Ghazal 1, and it is the first domestically produced car by Saudi Arabia.
General Motors has put the Chevy Volt into the Oven to bake it until it is completely done. OK, so maybe the oven is GM's Desert Proving Grounds in Arizona, and the baking is being done to test the car's ability to handle the extreme heat of Arizona in the summer. Engineers "bake" the Volt [...]

So how many times has this happened to you? You are driving your Range Rover home from watching the the championship Lakers-Celtics game at a West Hollywood hotel when the those darned paparazzi force you to crash into three other cars. Of course you don't have your cell phone (where would you put it in [...]
$18,871.00…That's the sticker on our 2010 Barcelona red metal Yaris model "S" sedan tester. You have to agree that's a lot of Happy Meals at McDonald's for a small economy car that won't break down.
