Fake hood pins. For that matter, even real hood pins. I mean, unless your DD is a top fuel funny car, is that hood in constant danger of flying off? I think not.

Gorgeous, but I wonder how it might cannibalize a bit on Macan sales, or vice-versa. Right now you can get a Macan Turbo with Performance Package starting at $86.5K, so you can get an upper-end Macan with 440 hp and awd for the price of an entry-level Panamera ST. While the Panamera ST is better looking, the Macan is

Um, my 2001 Audi TT had pop out headlight washers. On our old forum we dubbed them “Aliens” because they popped out like the alien did from John Hurt’s chest in the movie.

I’m sorry, but is Alfa’s HP figure at the crank, like most manufacturers? If so, then assuming a typical drivetrain loss of about 20% sending power to the wheels, it would be perfectly normal to see AWHP in the upper 300's.

OK, I listened to the whole commentary, the announcer was very enthusiastic about the dog and commented on its excellent form, how it didn’t care about the car, motorcycles or the peloton. One interesting comment he made was that the dog led the peoloton for over 1.5 km, and reached speeds of 40 kmh! The race was in

I think if they could find a way to reduce the number and size of the myriad sponsor logos that festoon the cars these days, it would help aesthetically. As others have pointed out, the engineers will make the cars look too busy, bulbous, penile, etc., out of necessity, but you can achieve a more homogeneous,

I’m sure it’s the same on other car forums, but on the Audi one I visit, you can easily find the code necessary to use an OBD-II to USB connector to a laptop to make them stay on when you use the turn signal. That’s of course merely one of dozens of coding changes you can do to your car.  

No love for the Boomerang? Wedge-a-palooza that one is.

In the first picture the young lady is obviously ecstatic that she finally got OUT, not in.

No, I’m 51, and I think his schtick is unfunny and outdated.

He’s from Barcelona you know.

It’s all about the frit.

Get the frit outta here! Are you frittin’ kidding?

Guys, you keep doing this, and it’s driving me nuts! I’m going to have to start charging you!

Actually I’ll correct myself, according to Volov’s US website, it’s available online throught Volvo concierge and for overseas delivery. Fine with me.

I was told by a Volvo rep that the V90 (not the CC, I detest the CC, it’s ugly as fuck) will be an order-only car, i.e., no dealer allocation-type arrangement. But that it will be available. Heck, what about the R and Polestar variants? Please don’t tell me we won’t be getting those either

When is the damn thing going to be available on Volvo’s friggin configurator?
