Wild VW GTI concept at Austrian fest: 503 hp, 186 mph

  Not your Mother's GTI
How about a really high-performance Volkswagen GTI? Say, 503 horsepower instead of the standard model's maximum 230 hp, and 186 mph flat-out, vs., well, less than that by quite a bit. Volkswagen will Thursday showcase a new Golf GTI concept for the track – the Design Vision GTI – at the annual enthusiasts’ meeting on the shores of Lake Worthersee in Reifnitz, Austria.  Around 150,000 fans are expected to attend the gathering between now and Saturday, and take their turn to see the concept, designed by Volkswagen engineers and designers.

We drive the Ford Mustang V6

  by Ali Arsham
Ford’s Mustang is a legend that is the car of dreams for many. The Mustang is a muscle car and has a reputation of being fast when it comes to going straight. Ford has done wonders with the Mustang GT’s suspension with the Boss 302 version’s target being the BMW M3. Not all of us can afford to buy the Boss 302 or even the GT. The base six cylinder Mustang has been around since the beginning and the idea has been to offer it for people that want the look of the Mustang but don’t care about performance as much. The 2012 Mustang V6 is different though.

The Driverless Car is a Stupid Idea and I Hate It

  by Stephen Cox
California has passed a new law allowing “autonomous cars” on the roadways and Audi says it can have an automated car ready for sale by 2015.  Look no further, folks. It has begun. Leprosy, smallpox, malaria... and now the driverless car.  Let me be abundantly clear about why I don’t like the idea of a car with no driver. It’s not the car that worries me. Yes, I’m sure some technofreak out there can build one. I oppose the fact that human beings are becoming less skilled by the day. “Civilization” has already caused us to lose most basic skills.

CLASSIC CARS: Mercury Cyclone for Dummies

  by Stephen Cox
As under-appreciated muscle cars go, the enigmatic Mercury Cyclone is about as obscure as they come. But I still love them. First of all, “Cyclone” was a cool name. Most modern car names are garbage. The Intrigue wasn’t. The Hummer didn’t. The Citation couldn’t go fast enough to earn one. The Probe… well… insert your own joke here. And every Prizm, Tempo and Aztec ever built should be loaded aboard the Enterprise, launched into space and used for photon torpedo practice.

We drive the Kia Optima Hybrid

  by Ali Arsham
If you want an affordable mid-size hybrid family sedan, most people would run out to their local Toyota dealer and buy a Camry Hybrid.  Well there are a few other options out there and one of the better ones is the Kia Optima Hybrid.  We recently tested the regular Optima EX and were blown away with it.  Now we managed to get our hands on the high efficiency Hybrid model.  While costing a bit more, the hybrid promises a lot more.
