Jerry Seinfeld ponders the new Acura NSX
We haven’t been overly enthused by this year’s crop of Super Bowl ads, but then again we’re jaded moto-journalist types. It takes a lot to impress us, and partying vampires, singing dogs and re-hashed movies from the 1980s just won’t do the trick. If only an automaker could come up with something fresh and innovative, maybe we’d actually crack a smile (and admit to it). Read more…

It is a rather inevitable that we would see the new Scion FR-S, along side of the Subaru BRZ, on the Formula Drift circuits burning up the rear tires. Considering that most Formula D vehicles have a substantial amount of power, the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ’s powerplant in its stock form just isn’t going to suffice when it comes to competitive drifting. Motor Trend seems to have captured the Scion FR-S in a turbocharged flavor making rounds at Laguna Seca by what is speculated to be the Scion drift team.

‘RAVE REVIEWS ALL AROUND’
The Toyota RAV4, already a leader in the crossover SUV segment it launched nearly 15 years ago offers even greater value for 2011. The 2011 RAV4 is offered in three distinct grades-Base, Sport, and top-of-the-line Limited-and with a choice between the 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine and a 3.5 liter V6. Both engines can be teamed with either front-wheel drive or electronic on-demand four-wheel drive, giving consumers a wide array of vehicle choices. The roomy RAV4 offers an optional third-row seating on Base and Limited grades. I tested the V6 powered Limited AWD model and now know why it is such a huge seller. It just does it all so well.

In the early 1990’s, a television series called “TV Nation” put this to the test, and challenged CEOs of major corporations to demonstrate their products on live TV. The only one who agreed was Ford’s CEO, Alex Trotman, who changed the oil in a Ford Explorer on camera. Read more…
