2008 D3 Cadillac XLR-V

cpruitt submitted on 9/11/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 2:32:30 PM

cpruitt submitted on 8/19/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 9:03:06 PM

2009 Audi Q5 - First Drive

cpruitt submitted on 7/23/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 12:34:07 PM

Pardon our math, but 5 can represent a greater value than 7. Proof? Audi's upcoming Q5, when read as an algebraic expression or as a force on the car market, equals a higher value than the Q7. We worked it out during a day driving Audi's upcoming com...

We spotted this euro-spec Alfa Romeo 159 sedan on a flatbed traveling down I-94 in Michigan. It's anyone's guess what it's doing here, but we do know that Alfa plans to bring a revised 159 (and several other models) to the U.S. beginning in 2009. ...
