When it comes to Super Bowl advertising, we thought we’d seen it all. Last year, we had Kia giving us aliens, Mayans and even a dash of Poseidon, while Volkswagen shamelessly ripped off George Lucas (after paying him handsomely, we’re sure). This year, Kia has supermodel Adriana Lima, Chevy has a berserk college student, Lexus has a caged GS and Audi has… vampires. Read more…

“Moby Dick” is considered a classic piece of American literature. Written by Herman Melville, it tells the tale of Captain Ahab, a whaler obsessed with harpooning a great white whale called “Moby Dick.” On a deeper level, it’s a tale about man’s struggle with the universe, and against forces beyond his control.

Announcements regarding compact crossovers tend to fill us with as much excitement as announcements about new vegetarian restaurants (since we’re confirmed meatatarians).

Why yes, that is a big-block Corvette... Image: RNickeymouse
Southern California is the center of the collector / exotic car universe, and nowhere is that more evident than the canyons of Mulholland Highway, near Malibu, California. YouTube poster RNickeymouse makes a living by filming motorcycle riders in some of the better corners, then selling them the footage and stills. Occasionally, he captures a few cars worth noting, too, like the ones in the video below.
If you’ve got a keen eye, you’ll spot Jay Leno (twice, in fact), and the list of cars captured is pretty impressive. There’s a Ferrari 599 GTO, a McLaren MP4-12C, a prototype Audi eTron Spyder, a few Ariel Atoms, a Caterham 7, a Bugatti Type 57 SC and even what looks to be an original Shelby Cobra. If idiots crossing double-yellow lines mid-corner raise your blood pressure, there’s some sweet justice in the middle of the video, too. Read more…

An Audi RS5 gets set to tackle the Stelvio Pass.
Blend beautiful women, tuned Audis and BMWs, classical music and Italy’s Stelvio Pass, and what do you get? Apparently, the answer is a German short film, found on Autoblog, entitled “Mechanical Synfonica.” Sponsored by Rieger Tuning and produced by Format67.net, the five-minute, high definition video is like a work-safe mini vacation, so turn up the volume, maximize the video, sit back and enjoy.
We can’t afford to send you to the Stelvio Pass (hell, we can’t afford to send US to the Stelvio Pass), but think of this video as an early holiday gift from us to you. Read more…

Probably one of the best looking and best performing small wagon’s on the road, the Audi RS3, is pitted against the new BMW 1 Series M Coupe in Fifth Gear’s latest duel. As it seems in some of the most recent vehicle tests, everyone wants their shot to compete against the BMW 1 M Coupe as if it is a performance benchmark. Actually, BMW is known for being the benchmark setter and the new 1 Series M Coupe should be no different since it brings back some of BMW’s light-and-nimble sports car history. Check out how well the 335 horsepower hot hatchbacks fair’s against each other below with Mark Higgins and Tiff Needell at the helm.
