2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - "shock and awe"

5MTenthus submitted on 8/20/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 11:49:38 AM

Corvette engineers, who orchestrated the ZR1 to entertain a driver, a passenger, and neighboring counties with the big-block, side-pipe sounds of the 1960s, describe the usual reaction to any indulgence of this car's throttle as "shock and awe. " Yes, that's exactly what we experienced flat-footing an early-production ZR1 around General Motors' Milford Road Course and on public roads surrounding the company's proving ground. Read More

2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid and Dodge Durango Hybrid - First Drive

5MTenthus submitted on 7/25/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 1:49:23 PM

Chrysler didn't pull the Hemi name off of its new 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid and Dodge Durango Hybrid altogether.

2009 Maserati Quattroporte S - First Drive

5MTenthus submitted on 7/18/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 12:40:12 PM

Maserati has tampered with the Quattroporte, a sedan that inspires visceral, carnal automotive lust wildly out of proportion with its size and door count.

2009 Infiniti FX50 vs 2009 BMW X6 xDrive50i

5MTenthus submitted on 7/17/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 12:43:38 PM

The laws of physics don't apply in Toontown, where cartoon characters live and SUVs act like sports cars. In Toontown, Infiniti's new FX50 accelerates quicker than a G37, matches its outstanding braking performance, and then - as its pièce de résistance - rounds corners even more quickly than the sport coupe.

First Drive: Pontiac G6 GXP Coupe

5MTenthus submitted on 2/8/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 12:59:52 PM

Most of America is bounded by farmlands and bisected by highways: flat, fast and straight. Perhaps these are the kinds of driving conditions Pontiac's engineers had in mind when they took the G6 and made it into a GXP. Read More

2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - First Look

5MTenthus submitted on 12/19/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 5:10:47 PM

Asked the question, "Why do a ZR1?" Corvette Vehicle Line executive Tom Wallace shoots back, "Because we can. We have the technology inside General Motors to do a car that can go up against any supercar from around the world," he continues, punctuating the thought with this threat: "I can't wait to take on any Porsche with this car, and we're going to be right in there with the Ferrari [599s] and Lamborghini [Murcilagos].

In response to Volkswagen's amusing "Pre-Pimped" GTI MkV ad-campaign, one of our bright interns pointed out that half the fun of owning a VW is modifying it. He would know - he had a Mk3 GTI that he lowered. Read More

5MTenthus submitted on 11/5/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 12:17:10 PM

For much of the day, the quiet Taunus mountains in Germany -- rolling green hills, prosperous farmland, dark Hansel and Gretel pine forests, Volkswagens driven slowly by well-groomed women on narrow smooth roads -- sound like Darlington raceway. From sleepy hollow to days of thunder. Read More
