Full disclosure: The following is a story I heard from an industry professional during an Airshow in Asia. It was presented to me as the truth, and while I may have some doubts, I found it so convincing that I decided to tell it here. I personally work for an OEM that has roughly as much business with Boeing as with…
I had some company bigwigs in town and had to take car of their transportation needs. I called my usual rental company to get a 12th or 13th Gen Toyota Crown (the Audi A6L is wayyy too common for a snob like me) and thought we'd have that with driver for the day.
Breaking news: most people hate car dealerships!
In the beautiful city of Turpan, Xinjiang, we came upon this gem.
A luxury shopping mall in Beijing, Parkview Green, has the habit of exhibiting and selling art in its premises.
Spotted in the streets of Beijing; contrary to what your eyes are telling you, this isn't the next Aston Martin Cygnet.
In this light, they look almost the same...
So I just finished watching Fast and Fearless, Britain's banger races which I got off the torrents and it is a great follow-up to part 2 of the TG Xmas special.
It's a well known fact that many Hollywood stars, looking to make some quick dough maximize the return on their brand, go and do commercials abroad.Nicolas Cage is no exception and his chosen car, for China, is the ShenBao by BAIC Motor (Beijing Automotive Group). The car is based on the 1st gen 9-5 and is otherwise…
We went to Prague last summer to attend a friend's wedding and my wife used that opportunity to show me the city (I've been to Prague several times but I don't have any sober memories of those visits...). The old city definitely has a kind of Gothic vibe and it's easy to understand why so many movies are filmed there.
Please forgive my utter lack of artistic or comic talent
I think it might be a FAW version of the Land Cruisers (SFTM Changchun but let me know if you really know what kind) but honestly, I was too distracted by the swastikas, SS emblems, and German Legion Eagle to pay that much attention to the carmaker...
I know the whole matte paint thing is sooo last year, but a proper matte-black still works extremely well with certain cars as evidenced by this:
Carlos Tavares, who was recently ousted from Renault by Sir Carlos Lannister Ghosn might have found a new gig.
While DARPA spends billions designing self-driven, hill-climbing Mars rovers, the French government asked a bunch of newly graduated hipsters to see what happens when you mate a Rotax with both a propeller and a wheel driven system on a tubular frame.
I was looking at the illustration at the top of the main page; it's got a bunch of really cool vehicles. One thing though...
Struggling French car maker PSA Peugeot-Citroen is back on death watch with recent announcements that it was canceling its collaboration with GM on a small car AND the news that Dong Feng and the French government were thinking of getting a stake in the company to try and save. I've been wondering if it's even worth…
I got this pic from my Boss who snapped it on a Beijing highway; seems they had a convoy going on with two XK1's and some kind of other electric (not pictured).

I work in the same building as BMW's head office for China and those Bavarians are not shy about their presence in the building as exemplified by frequent large billboards for their products or brand in the main lobby. Not all of their ads are successful though and the one I saw today shocked me and a few of my…
