Quick, who makes this car? I just can't tell. With only two emblems it's a complete and total mystery as to which manufacturer produces this car...

Here's the problem with "bailouts".  As soon as you start handing out money, people are going to start to line up to get it. GMAC, the financing arm of General Motors Corp., is taking steps to become a bank holding company, potentially giving it greater access to the government's $700-billion financial bailout package, according to sources familiar with the matter. Maybe the Alternate Route can be converted into a bank holding company and get in line for some cash too...

  Dear Acura, Rumor has it that you are currently developing a X6-fighter: http://globalmotors.net/tag/acuras-x6-fighter/ If that's the case then I have one question for you...   What the eff are you thinking?!   How should I start...

You keep hearing things like "GM is too big to fail". Why? Bankruptcy is something that happens to companies that need to resize and readjust to changing market realities. The North American automobile market has certainly changed and GM really hasn't done that great a job of adapting to the shifting landscape and that's why they find themselves in the spot they're in...

Last week, I described in detail why "Die Another Day" was a heap of cinematic crap and closed with how wonderful the next film was. But if you've seen it, you probably already know why "Casino Royale" was not only a brilliant Bond film, but a brilliant film, period. So let's talk about the cars...

I've now been at Edmunds for 20 months, and in that time my automotive knowledge and driving skill have dramatically grown. Yet, out of all automotive components, my opinion of audio systems has changed the most dramatically. Before, I sort of shrugged off optional "premium" sound systems as wastes of money people buy to brag about to their friends...

After a weekend and change in the 2009 Volkswagen CC, I've come to the realization that you really don't have to spend more than $43,000 on a car. Sure, there's the Aston Martins and Porsche 911s of this world, but I'm talking about the sedan or coupe you drive everyday. Between the brackets of $28,000 and $43,000 there are some damn fine cars, models that are so good, why would you want or need anything else?..

History lesson for the day. The most important oil well ever drilled was in the middle of quiet farm country in northwestern Pennsylvania in 1859. For this was one of the first successful oil wells that was drilled for the sole purpose of finding oil...

A lot of folks love the look of those low profile tires, and I have to admit that there are some vehicles that they just seem to look sharp on, but I doubt that I'd ever install them on a car because they're just not practical on a number of points. They're expensive, they wear out quickly, and most important of all, there are very few roads, especailly here in Pennsylvania, where you're not in danger of damaging a tire and/or wheel because of road irregularities or debris under normal driving conditions. My brother bought a new Audi a few years ago...
