Let's talk engines. The new R8 comes in two forms at launch: V10 (the blue one) and V10 Plus (the red one), both with 5.2-the liter 10-cylinder engine from the Huracan. They put out 540 and 610 horsepower, respectively. The V10 Plus does zero to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 205 mph.

What concept is this? Audi actually made this?

You're not alone, I happen to think this car is downright ugly.

What this video confirms to me is that the F1 GTR is still a better car.

On the way back I tortured him with the sonorous garbage noises coming out of SiriusXM's Patriot Radio station, and for that, I do not apologize.

Will we see this revealed at the New York Auto Show? Jeep usually has a big presence there.

What the hell is this article? I'm amused, but extremely confused. The answer is Aston Martin DB7.

No Cadillac cars, anyway. I did see a couple taxi cabs and an old pickup truck. That's because Cadillac is all about building the #brand these days, and they hope this ad set to run during the Oscars on Sunday — featuring text from a famous Theodore Roosevelt speech. Here's the deal, again from Automotive News:

Why is there a 10-12 year old boy driving a vehicle on a public street?

They're not all THAT terrible. They just have certain needs that you need to be aware of - the sixes, while not as fast as the twelves, are far more reliable. The 3.2 is built like a brick shithouse of an engine.

Well now I know why the price is so low. It's a salvage title from TX. There's so many of these out there that I'd rather buy a non-salvage titled example. Seeing as I have one of these (admittedly the Supercharged six and not the V12), I can tell you that unless Aston rebuilt it themselves I wouldn't touch it (and…

Jesus that's a travesty. I mean really nissan? Not even a nice leather boot for the auto? Looks like it came right from 2003. Sloppy and cheap.

Speedometer should be here and temp/fuel should be digital up top.

"Even if it's piped in through the speakers these days, it makes a great, addicting sound, and the exhaust note is loud enough at speed that it made quite the symphony running laps around Circuit of the Americas later that day."

You're very welcome - I speak from experience and the kabuki dance that is Aston Martin ownership.

It's actually not too hard to figure it out. You pull it all the way up to engage it then let it drop to the floor. To release, push the button in and then pull it up above the point where you pulled it up to engage it, and then release it. It's completely ridiculous, but that's how you use it.

I actually saw this car in person and it was downright strange. First, it's huge by Japanese car standards and second, it's just so peculiar with the velour, stick, and racing seat. There was too much drift action crap going on with it (like the previous owner didn't know what he wanted to do with the car). It's…

Pardon me, you shall call her by her real name: S.S. America. Shame as both she and her sister ship, the S.S. United States, were some seriously handsome ocean liners.

What the hell is that? Is that a metal bracket from a hardware store?

I've experienced a few CVTs from Nissan. Just a collective pile of crap and just no need when there's a prevalence of decent automatics (ZF, Aisin) on the market. Acura has a ZF FWD application.
