2008 Paris Motor Show: Lexus IS 250C

2008 Paris Motor Show: Lexus IS 250C

Lexus debuted the convertible version of its popular IS model to some rather mixed reviews. Basically, half love it and half hate it. I suppose that I belong to the latter group, not because I hate it, but because I don’t love it. All it is is an IS (wow that was awkward to write) [...]

2008 Paris Motor Show: Peugeot RC HYmotion4 Concept

For those who don’t know, Peugeot is a French car company that isn’t really relevant outside of Europe. They don’t have astronomical sales, they control no market segment, their cars aren’t incredibly exciting, in short, they aren’t really well known.

Now this is rather bizarre. Bizarre and interesting.
There has been a respectable amount of online hype for Citroen’s concept GT (yes, the official name is GTbyCitroen), and from the looks of things, it deserves it. This has got to be the wildest car Citroen ever penned, and perhaps the wildest at the 2008 Paris Motor [...]

Aston Martin One-77: New Info and Pictures

Ooohh, this is tasty stuff.
Here are some new pictures and information for the upcoming Aston Martin One-77 supercar. (Pics courtesy of Auto Unleashed and Autoblog)
This seductive menace was revealed at the Paris show, but only a front and back corner were visible; the rest was draped in an obstinately obscuring cover. As you can see [...]
