With the majority of the 2013 model year cars revealed, or at least their information available, the one thing that tends to come at the end is the pricing. Many manufacturers list their pricing on new models as tentative, or with a disclaimer stating that prices are subject to change, while they calculate the last [...]
A few weeks ago we did a story on the 2013 Shelby Mustang GT500 that will melt your face off. Well it appears that the development car used for testing and refining the new GT500 monster machine is going to be sold at Barret-Jackson with the proceeds going to support the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

A lot of heads were turned at CES this year with the debut of the Dodge Charger Blacktop edition. It is an appearance package that truly takes advantage of the angry lines and styling of the Charger while cranking up the attitude to 11. Other than the appearance changes, (blacked out tail lights, tinted windows, [...]
Well that didn’t take long… Just out of the gate for 2012 and we have a recall already. The folks at Mini are issuing a recall on most if not all turbo charged Mini models from 2006 to 2011. The cause for the recall is a problem with the secondary water pump that helps to [...]

I bet that made you flinch didn’t it? The new Boss 302 IS going green… just not in the manner you might think. Ford unveiled this version of the Boss in “Gotta Have It” green for all to see. This color version of the 2013 Boss adds to the already definitely different color schemes offered. [...]
Did you think Chrysler was just going to throw the new Dart out there and be done with it? Eco box cars aside, Detroit’s big three will not forget that their roots came from asphalt melting power and they still have to deliver on that front. With that in mind, Chrysler has announced it will [...]
This isn’t good news. It appears that the city of Baltimore has revoked the five year contract after only its first year due to Baltimore Racing Development failing to pay up its $1.5 million part of the deal. The city and race organizers will have until September 2, 2012 to resolve the issue. That is [...]
It has been a rocky several years for the car industry, no one can debate that. Bankruptcies, sell offs, entire brands being phased out… The reasons for all of these problems are many and still hotly debated to this day.
