The 2010 Hyundai Sonata has finally been released in Korea and I believe it should be coming to our shores in the near future. Finally, new Sonata owners won't have to worry about ignorant Singaporeans who flag their cars down as a taxi..
Recently launched in Seoul, Euisun Chung, Hyundai
Italy's Lamborghini Murcielago has been named and shamed as the most polluting car of the nation by the UK's Environmental Transport Association (ETA), being five times worse than the greenest automobile of 2010, the Toyota iQ which produces just 99g of CO2 per km.
"With emissions five times worse than the greenest car, the Lamborghini is the bull in an environmental china shop," said Andrew Davis, director of the ETA. "Thankfully, there are very few on the roads and there is an increasing c
These days most of the news out of Lotus comes when it releases a lighter or faster version of the Elise, Exige or Evora. However, the stripped-out, Elise-based 340R might already show the logical conclusion of that concept, despite coming out in 2000. Now, one of the 340 made is up for auction on eBay Motors, and the seller in Fort Lauderdale, claims that it's the only street-legal example available in the US.
Lotus founder Colin Chapman always had an obsession with making his vehicles as
Apple has axed more than 200 employees from in its autonomous vehicle group. Dubbed Project Titan, not much is known about what is being exactly developed.
Acknowledging the job cuts, an Apple spokesperson said, “We have an incredibly talented team working on autonomous systems and associated technologies at Apple. As the team focuses their work on several key areas for 2019, some groups are being moved to projects in other parts of the company, where they will support machine learning and o
The brand new BMW M4 Coupe has recently had what is believed to be its first recorded incident, and what an incident it was as the powerful vehicle will probably end up in the crusher.
The model in question was brand new and it was brought to this state by is 20-year old driver, who pushed the gas pedal too hard and lost control of the wheel, through a corner.
The accident took place in Munich, Germany.
Despite the obvious heavy crash with two trees in this small park, the 20-year

If you have friends or relatives in the US driving a 1994 version of the Honda Accord, you may wish to remind them to keep a close eye on their ride. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) released a report saying that this particular model year of Honda
Sometimes in life, when you are looking for something or someone, you end up finding something else. That is quite natural as I strongly believe it has happened to many people at a point of their life.
It happened to an American man who was searching for his birth mother and unexpectedly ended up with a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS that has been in the family for many years.
Zach S from Virginia, United States; first saw the Camaro RS/SS in 2006 when he met his birth mother in Arizona
Last weekend, no less than 170 cars gathered at Bandimere Speedway in Denver, Colorado with hopes of breaking the record for the most number of simultaneous burnouts done.
As you can see from the drone footage, all the vehicles participating in the event lined up alongside the edge of a drag facility and once the flags started waving, smoke started spewing out from the cars gradually. Some of the owners even fitted special tyres so that the smoke generated from the spinning tyres are blue i

Mini recently announced that the Mini Clubvan will go into production and the numerous types of engines used were also announced. The company plans to debut the production version of the car later this year and also plans to release it some time next year.
But even before the general public gets to see the car, a controversy has arisen recently, concerning the Clubvan. A fifteen year old teenager from East Sussex, United Kingdom has claimed that he suggested the production of the Clubva

Meet Red Dragon, a custom-built Ford 350 Super Duty Monster Truck which produces a ground-shaking 1308 bhp and comes complete with an air-cannon mounted on the back that can fire a fridge-freezer 80 yards.
The hand-built truck will be one of the must-see attractions at the all-new Top Gear Live (www.topgearlive.co.uk) on11
IT IS safe to say the folks at the automotive policy and planning unit of the Land Transport Authority (LTA) won't be head-hunted by Apple anytime soon –- if only because the American company's core philosophy of elegant simplicity would be lost on them.
Witness the tangled web that is the certificate of entitlement (COE) system and how it has become even more complicated since February, when a power limit of 130 hp was adopted for the small-car category of COEs (that is, for cars with 1,600
125 years ago, a German engineer came up with something which would revolutionise the world as we know it today. Without his invention, our lives would be a hell of a lot less interesting. Not to mention that this website will probably not be in existence.
I'm talking about Karl Benz, widely acknowledged as the father of the petrol-powered motorcar, and of course, the 'Benz' in Mercedes-Benz. Together with Gottlieb Daimler, the two German engineers were the pioneers of this historic inventio
"You talking to me? Are you talking to me?" All right, so DeNiro probably isn't the first thing you thought of when you saw the image above, but the gent pictured is the real, gritty thing - a New York City taxi driver. Photographers Philip Kirkman and Shannon McLaughlin snapped enough photos of some game NYC yellow cab drivers to create a 2014 calendar that is unintentionally irresistible in ways we can't begin to capture in words.
This calendar truly deserves the synonym menology, and
Don't park your car too close to the trees! Though, that might not have helped much considering the sheer size of this fallen tree. According to SG Road Vigilante, this '10-storey high tree' fell on 13 December and damaged 11 vehicles in the carpark at Toa Payoh.
Luckily, there doesn't seem to be any pedestrians injured by the tree, I can't imagine how severe it would be, to be crushed by a tree of this size.
I would faint on the spot if this was my car, looks like it's a t
Here's another good drifting video for you to enjoy if you have some time to kill. Muscle car fans should love the video too....
Shot by HeatWaveVisual and combined with the help of some very skillful drone pilots, the drift weapon used in this video is a C6 generation Chevrolet Corvette that has been modified to output around 1060bhp. Thankfully, its driver, a professional drifter, Matt Field has no issues controlling the wild beast...

Topping the list of their favourite car is Range Rover's Evoque which is a surprise to us. Complied by U.K. vehicle finance experts JBR Capital, the Evoque is probably the only non-exotic car in the top 10 most popular list of cars they have. See the list below for the rest of cars they own.

In 2009, Hyundai and KIA had to recall 700,000 units of their models due to defective brake switches. Unfortunately, not learning from their experiences, these South Korean automakers repeat their mistake and this time, it's even worse. They now have to recall a total of 1.6 million units of cars they have produced due to the exact same problem.
The brake switch defect may prevent the brake lamps from illuminating even when the brake pedal is actually stepped on. Of course, this is a
Ford is recalling 89,153 units of the 1.6-litre EcoBoost-equipped Fusion and Escape models due to fire hazard risk in North America. The engine may overheat and cause fire in the engine compartment. This is the third recall involving the 1.6-litre turbocharged lump. The brand new 2013 Fusion accounts for 15,833 units of the recalled vehicles.
Ford confirmed that there have been new reports of these engines overheating, resulting in fires while the engine is running. Fortunately, no i
Ford is recalling 11,500 units of the 2013 model year Ford Escape fitted with the 1.6-litre Ecoboost engine because of a fire risk, Ford said in a statement. The recall is being undertaken to replace the engine compartment fuel line in the SUV.
Apparently, the fuel line could split and leak fuel, potentially causing an underhood fire. Ford has received three reports of fires; two at the factory and one from a customer while driving. Fortunately, no injuries have occurred.
