Alfa Romeo prepares a sports coupe
Just because the world is focusing on smaller cars, doesn’t mean they can’t be fun. For example Alfa Romeo will not only be using the MiTo platform to make the ultimate hot hatch MiTo GTA, but will now also use the little guy as the basis for a new sports coupe.

BMW M Coupe - Carpet Edition
German cars are known for bring precision machines, but some people think the cars lack personality or soul. Since nothing gives that warm cuddly feeling like a nice oriental rug, one owner decided to use the pattern to make this first generation M Coupe more personable.

Ferrari trike
Not to be outdone by a mini Lamborghini ATVs, Ferrari went for a mini model with one less wheel and more horsepower that the little Lambos.

Fiat 500 coming to USA?
The Chrysler/Fiat tie-up has been getting enthusiasts in the U.S excited. We all knew that it was finally a matter when, not if, Fiat products would return to the U.S. Now we may know when that actually is, as plans are underway to have the Fiat 500 in Chrysler delearships for the 2010 model year.
2011 Mercedes CLS spied again
Its only been a week since we’ve seen a spy shot of the next Mercedes CLS, but its back again. This time the body cladding is doing a good job to hide the sedan/coupe because this one almost looks like a Toyota Camry.
This example was caught performing cold weather testing in Sweden. The 2011 CLS [...]
2009 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR
The world is an unfair place. While most of us save every penny to possibly purchase a Porsche 911, there are others out there who just take the little coupe racing. For those select few, the bar may have just been raised. Porsche revealed the 2009 911 GT3 RSR.
