This was brought to my attention via a member of The Saab Link.  Apparently, someone has ENTIRELY too much time on their hands.  And according to one of our members (ADouglas), he or she apparently also happens to be color blind.

This is a public service announcement that was done in Australia.  It was done to tell the audience (aggressive male drivers) that women, attribute their driving to, well ummm, “making up for short comings.”  Interesting way to portray it.  The easy road would have been to taking the morbid approach and saying, “look how many people you could hurt,” but instead they opted for the “locker room fear.”

Well done.

Factor in 140mph of speed.  Factor in, oh say 20 or so pounds of furry red mammal.  Guess what happens.  But the true question, “will it blend?“   The pictures are pretty graphic, so don’t click if you are opposed to fox shrapnel in the engine bay of a BMW.  Ugh, can you imagine the smell everytime you turned on the heat or defrost?

Last evening the Senate passed an energy bill that will demand increased fuel economy standards by 2020. By 2020, if you are an automaker, your vehicle line up is to average 35mpg.  So if you have a truck that get 18mpg, but you have a car that gets 80mpg, then you are going to be fine.  Now if you go back to whole, “this is how a bill becomes a law,” now it needs to be approved the House of Representatives, and then ultimately it will need to be signed into law.

This piece of art bike has a frame made entirely of titanium.  Yeah, titanium.  The 200hp V-twin 2150cc engine is carved from billet aluminum.  It has MotoGP spec Olhins suspension.  The brakes, just wow, six pot brakes with a brake pad on EACH of the 12 pistons.  The bike goes by the name Ecosse Titanium Series.  There will be only 10 made.

So the Golf has been around for 30 years.  DDB in Europe created this minute long video conveying all of the changes that have happened over the past three decades.  It has some pretty cool production values.

A quick look at our recent posts shows that everybody is jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to the glass roof design. So far this week we’ve seen Ford do it, we’ve seen Subaru do it, and now we get this new vision from Land Rover.

Check back after the jump to see more pictures of the new LRX concept, set to debut at the Detroit Auto Show. Read the rest of this entry »

I still suck at hosting videos. Click the image to view the video. This is an ad that ran in Spain, the client is Renault and the agency is Publicis. As with most European car advertising, it just barely features the car. Certainly a deviation from the standard.
