Tesla Roadster Sport 2.5 Review Posted:   Model Tested: Tesla Roadster Sport 2.5, electric vehicle. $206,188 manufacturer’s list price, $241,938 as tested. The sky is blue, black is black, white is white and DC is the reigning commercial form of electricity. These were all things that were accepted as fact in the late 1800s.  It wasn't until the ‘War of Currents’ erupted [...]

Jeep Wrangler Renegade and Pork Chop Concepts to Debut at Moab Jamboree Posted: While we wait with slightly bated breath for the return of a "Honcho"-branded Jeep, Chrysler's deemed us fit only to gaze upon a rendered Renegade-nouveau and an illustration of a neat little thing they're calling the Jeep Wrangler Pork Chop. Other than the fact that they're creations by Chrysler's Mopar aftermarket division, the company hasn’t [...]

2011 Chevrolet Cruze LS – Short Take Road Test Posted: The cheapest Chevy Cruze is a competent small sedan, but little more. What we have here is some genuine grammatical monkey business: a Cruze with no cruise. Such are the peculiarities of product planning in the economy-car segment, where sticker price is even more of a motivator than in other, less necessity-driven classes. Case in [...]

Despite the Japan disasters, auto sales rise in March Posted: With the earthquake and tsunami disaster that occurred in mid-March, and subsequent radiation concerns, there has been some uncertainty in the already fragile auto market. Toyota posted a sales decrease, but most other automakers posted an increase in March. Notably,...

Only fools drive distracted: National Distracted Driving Month starts today Posted: It may be April Fools day, but it's also the first day of National Distracted Driving month. While we just blogged about the decline in fatal crashes for 2010 to the lowest recorded levels, there are still many traffic safety...

Audi and Renovo Partner on Two-Wheeled Wooden Sculpture Posted: The Audi Space Frame meets hardwood, and the vehicle loses a couple of wheels in the process. These four-ringed bikes are built by Renovo, the world’s only wood-frame bike manufacturer. (We were surprised to learn that there was a wood-frame bike manufacturer.) Why use wood? It’s durable, it absorbs vibrations, it’s recyclable, and it just [...]

2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid – Short Take Road Test Posted: Toyota gives its hybrid crossover more power and character. Despite the return of four-dollar-per-gallon gas and the ongoing maturation of small cars in the U.S., Americans still want and occasionally need large vehicles. The seven-passenger Toyota Highlander hybrid was one of the first crossovers to balance suburban practicality with electrified efficiency when it debuted in [...]

Lexus, Scion, Toyota prices going up in wake of tsunami Posted: In the wake of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that recently hit the Japanese coast, coupled with a rising yen, Toyota has announced that prices are going up on most 2011 Lexus, Scion, and Toyota models. With some parts in...

Hyundai Unveils Hydrogen Fuel Cell–Powered Blue² Concept at Seoul Auto Show Posted: Hyundai has unveiled its Blue² concept (say “Blue Squared”) at the Seoul auto show. The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell stack that can deliver 121 hp (90 kW), but Hyundai doesn’t get into detail about its hydrogen tank’s capacity. Fortunately, given what little hydrogen infrastructure exists,  this vehicle’s powertrain is—at best—headed for a small test [...]
