2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid VS 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI

dsteve303 submitted on 4/21/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 1:12:51 AM

No one's talking about it, but the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid and 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI are the two most fuel-efficient full-size SUVs on the market. We guess that makes Paris Hilton, proud owner of a 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid, the hybrid Tahoe's twin, a forward-thinking early adopter at the vanguard of the green car movement. Read More

The New Jaguar XF Is The Least Jaguar-ish Car Ever- Is That A Good Or A Bad Thing?

Agent001 submitted on 4/20/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 4:02:46 PM

I've seen the new XF a number of times at the auto shows and now cruising the streets of SoCal and the one thing that keeps going round and round in my mind is that it really ISN'T a Jaguar anymore. My best description is that it looks like a Lexus GS re-designed by the English with a Lincoln/Mercury interior (all the silver buttons/switchgear that make it look like a cheap Technics stereo component).

TOP GEAR BATTLE OF THE SALOONS: BMW M3, MERCEDES C63, AUDI RS4, LEXUS IS-F

aston_martin submitted on 4/20/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 1:31:03 AM

It is with that in mind that you realise none of these cars looks particularly Rampton day-release, even though each one is fast enough to make your ears clap around the back of your head. So we get subtle(ish) bonnet bulges, wheel arch flares, larger diameter wheels, bigger exhausts and deeper scoops, but no massive spoilers or visually lurid splitters to give the game away.

TOP GEAR: NISSAN GT-R VS EVO X

car_dude submitted on 4/18/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 9:38:52 PM

Talkin' about an Evolution Rush hour Tokyo is saturated with neon, noise and the smell of miso soup. At the kerbside, pig-tailed girls in tiny plaid skirts and thigh-high white stockings stop tobe snapped by their boyfriends beside our Nissan GT-R and Mitsubishi Evo X. Read More

TOP GEAR: LEXUS IS-F VS RS4, M3, C63

car_dude submitted on 4/18/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 9:01:05 PM

Here he is, a gnarled old man at the wheel of a partially fossilised Suzuki SJ410 doing exactly 60kph along a quiet road just outside the Spanish city of Seville. His face is a mass of tan leather engineered by the sun, his bemused frown at the road ahead betraying his failing eyesight, his wandering line betraying his failing steering box. Read More

Comparison:EVO X vs rivals

abcd submitted on 4/18/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 2:25:26 AM

1st place - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X 2nd place - Audi S3 3rd place - Subaru WRX STI Meet the Mitsubishi Revolution X – sorry, Evolution X. In reality, the first version is probably the more accurate: this car isn’t simply an update of previous models – it’s all-new from the ground up. Read More

Hybrids vs. Diesels - GMC Yukon Hybrid vs. MB GL 320 CDI

Newsbot submitted on 4/17/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 6:45:23 AM

Hybrids Versus Diesels By Joe DeMatio Photography by Jim Fets America's environmental chickens have come home to roost. For nearly two decades, we've blithely bounded from sea to shining sea in ever porkier sport-utility vehicles fueled by cheap gasoline. Read More

TTAC 2008 BMW 135i Review

qweasdzxc submitted on 4/12/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 4:13:02 PM

My paranoid-delusional theory: BMW intentionally botched the 135i. The new car has the same engine as the 335i, meets the same American crash requirements, and satisfies the [marketing] need for four seats. Read More

The Gulfstream jet of SUVs When Mercedes-Benz announced a new, three-row-seat sport/utility would be built on the second-gen M-Class chassis architecture and that it would replace the mil-spec G-Wagen, one of our editors wrote, "There goes the neighborhood.

AutoCar - Road Test: Lexus IS-F

Newsbot submitted on 3/27/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 7:47:16 AM

For: Engine note, chassis balance, strong brakes, high spec Against: Lack of proper limited-slip diff, hesitant gearbox, flat seats, fidgety ride Background: The IS-F is the first sports Lexus model to make production. It was the idea of two Lexus engineers, Yaguchi-san and Sakamoto-san, but it is not the first IS model to undergo a little light fettling. Read More

SSL Tests the Audi R8 and '08 Viper SRT10 Against the Clock

zerind submitted on 3/26/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 1:35:07 PM

Great article showing the capabilities of the Audi R8 and Dodge Viper SRT10 out on the track, and against the clock. The results are fairly surprising, and show how well both cars perform on the track in very different ways. Read More

BMW M3 E92 Test drive

mugenpower submitted on 3/25/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 4:19:45 AM

A couple of lucky E46 GTR owners already had the chance of tasting what a V8 engine can do in an M3, and now there's no turning back. The M3 definitely goes V8 and leaves the iconic straight 6 in charge of less powerful (yet excellent) vehicles in BMW's range, such as the 330i. Read More

BMW M3 vs S5 comparison test!

cs4444 submitted on 3/24/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 5:29:32 PM

Before you start sending us flaming e-mails complaining that a comparison between the 2008 Audi S5 and the 2008 BMW M3 Coupe is an obvious mismatch from the get-go, you should know a few things. Our first full test of the $53,000, all-wheel-drive 2008 Audi S5 was a bit of a revelation. Read More
