Toyota's proprietary frame articulation technology elevates the vehicle's midsection to accommodate the hardware required to operate the company's frame articulation technology....

project, yes, restoration, no.

Carbon monoxide wasn't the issue. Although the first Corvairs in 1960 used an optional gasoline burning heater, from 1961 on through the end of production in 1969, the heating system captured the air used to cool the engine and routed it into the passenger compartment. Unfortunately, the shrouding that contained that…

Thank you. When confronting any problem, consider the simplest solution.

Jeeez, for the volume of vitriol generated in response to this article, you would think that Mazda had announced they had licensed GM's powerglide and would only sell Miatas with a two speed slushbox.

another come on, just like satellite radio....three months free, and if you don't subscribe, GM turns off the gravity

I've wondered about the Maxima's role in Nissan's plans ever since they brought the Infiniti G35 to the US market and installed the 3.5 in a 'sporty' version of the Altima. For a few years the three cars were about the same size, sharing the VQ engine, and could easily be optioned up or down to the same price point.…

Just try and drive that through a school zone around here and you'd draw a SWAT team.

While Chevy small block may be a generally correct answer to many of the questions for which Miata isn't, fitting one into a 911 almost seems too pedestrian.

The auxiliary input is obviously for your guitar, a connection nobody advertised until VW in 2007

Please build it. They can and they should.

As one who's argued that the Saab Sonnet, Stutz Bearcat and Corvair Monza Spyder better meet the definition of "sports car" than the original blue flame six Corvette or pagoda Mercedes, I'm as guilty as anyone of drawing those distinctions in strange and awkward places. But apart from rhetorical arguments that better…

During the cabin-fever epidemic of the winter of '82, my friend and I sat down with a case of beer, a JC Whitney catalog and a calculator, and determined that the cumulative increases in power claimed by the various performance enhancing devices offered (+20% carb, +15% headers, etc) for Volkswagen engines would…

Though I'm impressed, I'm not so sure Her Majesty's secret Service wouldn't regard this as an affront to the empire, especially since it originated in BRITISH Columbia, rather than its equatorial namesake, and the impetus for an expensive, exciting, explosion filled investigation that could only be managed by an…

Now I can't shake the image of a voiceover actor in Bangalore taking on outsourced narration jobs. Snow scrapers for American trucks today, Czech deodorant and Argentinian ice cream tomorrow.

Could it be a clue that Nissan will beat everyone else to the market with a magnetically levitating roof in the next Crosscabrio? Might be just what the old version was missing...

Maaco? La-de-da. A case of Krylon primer, a few days of sanding, then spray on whatever Charlie has left over from the last job anyone paid for. Points and plugs, change the oil, check the brakes, throw on some Chinese tires, a lace-up steering wheel wrap and if it passes inspection, you're good to go...maybe a fire…

given that these would represent a quantum leap forward in one niche market, we just might see them here, gathering golf balls at the driving range

Someday, one of the 48 (49?,50?..) Tuckers will need a new engine...

The Hyundai Veloster 3 door coupe. Between a hatch that includes half the roof and an oddly useful single rear door, it swallows cargo like a circus clown car, and is actually quite useful as a [small] family sedan...but with 200 hp available in the turbo version, hardly an appliance slouch
