Another big unveiling at the New York International Auto Show this week was from Scion - who debuted two new 2011 models. For the '11 model year, the tC sports coupe gets a much-needed redesign, and the iQ compact will hit the US market wearing Scion badges. Full details haven't be released on the US-spec iQ, but the car will be powered by a
Right now in the Big Apple, the New York International Auto Show is in full swing, and we've seen some pretty interesting new models revealed this year. This morning Subaru unveiled the 2011 Impreza STI, which will once again be available as a traditional four-door sedan. This didn't come as a huge surprise of course, after we found out that
Back in 2007 when Subaru introduced the all new, "more mature" WRX, the car wasn't met with giant grins but with looks of confusion. What had happened to the hard-edged, "rally car for the street" feeling that made the earlier models so popular? Subaru addressed these complaints by giving the WRX a big power increase for 2009
As we all wait for the latest news on the upcoming Toyota/Subaru FT-86, the only thing one can really do is study the material that's already out there - thinking about the possibilities this new FR machine will provide.

A friend of mine sent me a link this morning showing a new MX-5 special edition from Mazda of France. Designed by LK Paris, the concept seems to be capitalizing on the flat black trend, which is apparently alive and well.

For the past seven days, I've been tooling around the Los Angeles area in a 2010 Mazda RX-8 R3. Even seven years after it was introduced, the RX-8 is still one of the most unique cars on the road, and despite some drawbacks, it offers a driving experience to match. Prior to this it'd been a long time since I've driven a rotary-powered to

Yep, just 25 of these will be produced - one for each country. Besides featuring some incredible body work, the C25 will make 753 horsepower and nearly 850 foot pounds of
For my final review story of the year, I want to share some observations on the general automotive and tuning trends of 2009. The economy might be on it's way out of a giant hole, but people across the world are still finding ways to enjoy cars, and we've seen some bold new ideas popping up because of this. So, what was big in '09? When
In what was likely the biggest car debut at the LA Auto Show, Ford took the wraps off the 2011 Fiesta. Again, this car is already on sale in other parts of the world, but it represents a big step for Ford as they begin to "European-ize" their American car line up. I had a chance to drive a Euro spec Fiesta at the SEMA show and was quite impressed
Now to wrap up my coverage from the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. While there were a few big cars debuted at this year's show, it also marked the American debut of cars shown earlier at other international auto shows. One of these was the Mini Coupe Concept, which looks amazing in the flesh. Displayed alongside the Mini Coupe, was the equally sexy
