This is for sure the most awesome parking garage signage in the world.
talking to 日本人 and actually understanding a few things 3 days ago
The new BMW 7 series looks a bit pedestrian ne? Or rather too much like a Lexus of some sort. Too upright to my tastes. I’m still partial to the more low slung and powerful look of the E38 or even E65 (though everyone seemed to hate that one.) But who am I to talk, I’m an E30 guy :P
Volkswagen reveals the Tiguan R Line. I never really liked SUVs, but I’d love to have a diesel Tiguan.
The boys over at Jalopnik give us their first impressions of the new Lexus IS-F. Kinda sad that a $60,000 car can’t beat a $28,000 Mustang in 0-60mph times.
Tokyo Auto Show 2007
It sure is a fine time to be alive for us automotive enthusiast types. With all the new hotness, I’m sad it’s going to be a while before I’ll get to experience the joy of driving after the new year.
CR-Z is go for production, Godzilla returns, Suzuki gives us a Tonka truck for “grown ups” and a badass crossover thingy, Subaru shows off the new WRX STI, VW brings a new version of the Up! concept, and BMW looks to attract the enthusiast crowd with a special version of the 1 series.
Top Gear has hooked up with Sony to make our iconic test track part of Gran Turismo 5. And as an office with the permanent distraction of a Playstation 2, race seat, force-feedback wheel and a copy of the current GT4, it’s the best news we’ve had since Alonso missed out on the F1 championship.
Hulk Hogan: not very smart, and neither are his kids. Then again, what do you expect when you give a Supra to a 16 year old.
From the “it’s about fucking time” department: find a map online and send it to your car’s navigation system.
Racing is back at Bell Isle this weekend with the 2007 Detroit Grand Prix featuring both IRL and ALMS. Take a lap in a new Z06.
Seatbelts save lives in more ways than one.
Please someone buy me one of these!
One more reason to not buy a Chinese car.
Dave over at Big in Japan give us a nice compilation of Jeremy Clarkson quotes.
I’ve been without my rally fix for years since those douche bags over at Speed decided to drop WRC coverage in favor NASCAR. Luckily we are blessed this weekend with some rally coverage from the X Games by ESPN and ABC. It’s only a super special stage, but it’s better than nothing.
