Getting Intimate With Mini Connected

Getting Intimate With Mini Connected

We’ve being living with our long-term Mini Countryman Cooper S All4 for a little over two months, but we haven’t spent much time on one of the most often used – and complex – bits of the car. Mini Connected is essentially a reworked version of BMW iDrive for the Mini line-up. The system uses [...]

2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI: September 2011

While our long-term Jetta TDI covered thousands of miles in August, mostly thanks to a cross-country jaunt with Michael Zak at the controls, things settled down in September as the blue sedan became accustomed to its new California residence. Bounced around between the team, the frugal four-door went to Autoblog’s Director of Photography, Drew Phillips, [...]

The Detroit News reports that former Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli believes that the Obama Administration didn’t need to hand the automaker to Fiat in order for the company to continue on.

September 2011 – What Double-Dip Recession Edition

The U.S. auto industry appears to be roaring based on sales figures for the month of September 2011. This, despite every other economic indicator wafting between stagnant growth for the economy and an outright plunge into another recession.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1989 Toyota MR2 Supercharged Is Minty Fresh

eBay Find Of The Day: 1989 Toyota MR2 Supercharged Is Minty Fresh

We have no qualms admitting that we miss the first-generation Toyota MR2. The spry little mid-engined racer was proof that you didn’t need a summer house on the cape to enjoy a perfectly balanced, lightweight sports car. Of course, with its accessible price tag, it’s no surprise that very few MR2 models survived without encountering [...]

Exclusive: First Ride In The Tesla Model

Over the weekend we experienced one whole minute of the future. There weren’t hoverboards or McFly Nikes, just two Tesla Model S Betas. The Beta model represents roughly 90% of the production Model S, and we were the first of very few to grab photo of our seat time. The first thing you notice upon [...]

Updated Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Spotted

Here at Autoblog, our love for the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen runs deep. It’s arguably one of the coolest vehicles available in the United States, and it sits alongside the Jeep Wrangler and Land Rover Defender as seemingly unchanged stalwarts of the off-road world. Perhaps the best part about the G-Class, however, is that Mercedes-Benz continues to [...]

Lamborghini Crossover Edging Out Estoque Sedan For Production

As you may recall, back in June we reported on a decision-making process currently ongoing at Lamborghini headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy, and Volkswagen corporate HQ in Wolfsburg, Germany.
