There are some things about the ’80s that aren’t worthy of nostalgia. The era’s
pony cars, by and large, fall under this umbrella. It’s true that Ford has the
five-point-oh—a designation fairly soaked in Aqua Net, yet perhaps the only
thing about the decade’s Stangs worth revisiting—but when it named its latest

Arrinera has presented several iterations of its V8-powered supercar model over
the years, with the styling of the first sketches and prototypes being
reminiscent of the Lamborghini Reventon.

In the first six months of this year, Lexus sold 18,265 ES sedans in the U.S. --
nearly a 9 percent increase over the same period in 2011 and by far the most of
any car in its lineup (only the RX crossover outsells it). Since the model's

their ardor is sure to bloom even more this month, as the Japanese maker
releases a new, sixth-generation version -- including...
Nissan has fully revealed the final production version of its all-new 2013

We haven’t seen the next Volkswagen Beetle convertible yet, but we do
know its EPA-estimated fuel-economy numbers ahead of the car’s debut. Despite
the added structural weight that is needed when a roof is removed, the droptop
gets the same mileage as the coupe model.Driving the stick-shift TDI in the city
is good for 28 mpg, while highway cruising reaches 41; Turbo models with the
manual are good for 21/30. EPA estimates for the 2.5-liter...
