nissan titan desert heavy duty long bed 2015

We brought you the first spy shots of the next 2015 Nissan Titan test vehicles in March of this year.  Still, Nissan remains incredibly secretive about any details or the release schedule of the redesigned truck.  Competition is a fierce as ever.  The new 2013 Ram is already on sale with a diesel Ram 1500 [...]

I rarely call out other sites or periodicals when it comes to their opinions about cars. We tend to keep to ourselves. Different strokes for different folks – and all that mother-jazz; however, Consumer Reports posted a story that featured the Scion tC in a most uncomplimentary way. You can link to the story (here).

The Pagani Zonda is a beautiful car with a stunning price tag but this papercraft version is one anyone can afford. Papercraft is unique for designers in that it gives them the opportunity to create detailed, incredibly accurate representations of real-world objects at a minimal cost. Traditionally, when you think of model-making it conjures images [...]

It’s simply human nature: different areas of the world have vastly differing likes, dislikes, and needs in their everyday lives, all of which are informed by highly diverse cultures. Case in point – the Mercedes-Benz A-Class pictured above isn’t sold in the US because of its limited versatility and space, yet the model thrives as [...]

Perhaps it was climate change. Maybe a meteor hit and killed them off. Or maybe, just maybe they were wiped out by a superior species. The cars that I’ve liked over the years died out.

Sorry folks, when I said the Ram Power Wagon was the best for this very likely scenario, I completely spaced the  Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6. My initial choice for zombie survival was the Ram Power Wagon – which you can read (here) – but this baby looks like the real deal. Check out the three portal axles, six [...]

Part coupe, part sports car, part SUV – this little Range Rover Evoque represents the most radically different design from the storied Land Rover brand in decades. Its short, rather un-rugged stance and platform have caused many to dub it the “Range Rover for the city-dweller,” but what the modest Evoque lacks in off-road prowess [...]
