Next generation Roewe 750 inside and out
The current Roewe 750 is a little long in the tooth, as it is based on the Rover 75 which itself debuted in 1998 but saw production in China under the Roewe brand in 2006 – 14 years on the market is a long time for a car even in China.

2012 Ferrari 458 Spider First Drive: Ferrari's Newest Roadster Isn't Absolutely Perfect
Ferrari's newest roadster is not absolutely perfect. Despite some very compelling evidence to the contrary, the Ferrari 458 Spider is not actually perfect. For example, some people believe that certain details of the design, such as the flat nose or three-pipe exhaust or staircase of LEDs in the headlamp clusters, are weird or ugly.

TopCar Porsche Panamera Turbo S
TopCar è intervenuta sulla Porsche Panamera Turbo S con una personalizzazione a dir poco "eccentrica". L'esterno è stato modificato con il già noto Stingray GTR kit, con carreggiate allargate e paraurti sportivi, ma è l'abitacolo ad aver subito gli interventi più drastici: l'abitacolo, vano bagagli ed imperiale compreso, è stato rivestito in pelle con inserti in coccodrillo, mentre tutti gli altri particolari di finitura sono stati realizzati in oro e legnami...

Filed under: Budget, Etc., Japan, Videos, Hatchback, Toyota, Humor There is no greater test of skill and dexterity than an arcade claw game. Open heart surgery? For amateurs. Watch making? Child's play. Plucking an oddly-shaped stuffed animal from the clutches of its brethren with nothing but three flaccid claws and a joy stick is what it's all about. Toyota recently tapped into humanity's bizarre fascination with robotics, oversize stuffed animals and, of course,...

Filed under: Etc., On Two Wheels, Europe/EU With potholes, overly aggressive drivers and the constant threat of a flat, bicyclists kind of have it tough.

Fisker Nina to match BMW 5 Series in size; priced to compete with 3 Series
