All you Hemingway wannabes out there no longer have to freeze in the winter in your old drafty Defender. New improved versions, resembling Papa's old British jeep, are finally on the way. Rumors of a Land Rover Defender returning to the North America...

Possible production news on a contender for the R8, Gallardo, DB9, etc...

Mark submitted on 11/16/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 8:54:20 AM

So back in February of this year, 001 posted a story of the supposedly new supercar coming from BMW. This was big news since the last supercar out of the BMW brand was the famed late 70’s M1 (yes, opinions aside). With a not known yet rear or mid...

J.D Power does it again.....GASP! Is that a Merc and a Buick in the top 3!!!

Ford's new warranty....good enough to pull them back into the spotlight?

Opinion: Americans and hatchbacks, why don't they fit?

Mark submitted on 7/20/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 7:48:37 AM

Does America love hatchbacks as much as the rest of the world, or do they just not fit in our larger than life SUV lifestyle? In reading some articles around the bend I’ve come across the mixed view that although they are praised and loved and hea...

The new TT takes on the Cayman S

Mark submitted on 7/18/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 10:09:15 AM

In the current Road & Track the new TT 3.2 is pitted against a short comparison with the 911's little brother. The TT came away with a roomier and friendlier cabin while the Cayman edged out the TT being slightly longer. The Cayman suffers from t...

Lexus IS350 gets high praise for it's NAV system and more.

Mark submitted on 7/18/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 7:24:51 AM

Something that most cars have a hard time doing is pleasing the technology guru's at CNET. And although they really aren't a complete automotive site they do keep tabs on all that's new, good, and bad when you’re behind the wheel. Lexus takes a h...

What other number than 55 can scare a M3.......? How about 63?

Mark submitted on 7/6/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 3:01:26 PM

You would think a sport cabriolet fitted with a 5.4-liter V-8 making 362 horsepower would be enough. But no. In these wonderfully hedonistic, power-crazed days, we’re witnessing a horsepower race that makes the muscle-car battles of the 1960s loo...
