The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X

Image
Well, well, well, if it isn't Mitsubishi, the company that brought us such hits like the Outlander, Galant, and Eclipse (which by the way is totally a chick car...typically a hot chick's car.) Back in the day, Mitsubishi used to be the shit, but more recently here in the US they are on a bit of hard times. With that being said, enter the Lancer. That front end is aggressive. Aggressive is badass. Thus, the Lancer's front end, is badass! I am impressed Mitsubishi. Very impressed. This is a very good looking car. Since you are reading this blog, I am sure that you know the Lancer's rich Rally past. So the question is, the car looks badass, but how does it drive? Wonderfully. The Lancer is a testament to AWD. The car has so many options in terms of differential and suspension settings, I am surprised that this baby doesn't wipe your ass at the push of a knob. With the impressive 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds, and about 360hp in the UK version (why do we get 291hp? Apparentl...

The Mercedes C63 is Bat Shit Crazy

Image
While the Autoblog's parent website (www.savemybenz.com) is mainly about a Mercedes C280, the Autoblog must be unbiased when commenting on the automotive world! With that out of the way, the new Mercedes C 63 is fucking crazy. Not even like good "let's do it in the church when no one is around" crazy. It is the "As we do it I'll murder the shit out of you" kind of crazy. Like every hot, crazy girl you may meet, this one fuck your shit up. (not in the good way) Do you know how many horsepower this monster has? 451. The advertisements state that giving a car 400hp is nuts, so they gave it 451hp. Its true. Isn't that messed up?! On top of that, the power from the 6.3 L V8 is transferred directly to the rear wheels, and you have the ability to switch ESP off. In creating this monster, Mercedes had the M3 in their sights, and boy did they hit their mark. In all the comparo tests in the auto magazines, the M3 won (it is the darling of the automotive worl...

GM and Chrysler are on the shitlist

Image
http://reviews.cnet.com /8301-13746_7-10024776-48.html What the fuck GM? Pontiac is no longer going to be RWD exclusive? Do you guys at GM see that something is positively received, and than proceed to take a shit on it? I wish you cancer of the eyes. As for Chrysler- may your first born infant die in a plague that rivals Moses'. As Automotive News reported earlier, they may be selling off the Dodge Viper, but it is under "strategic review." Here is a strategy to consider Chrysler- Don't be such a fucktard and sell off an American Icon! I hope this has its way with all of the Chrysler executives wives while their kids watch. Harsh? Probably. Necessary? Why of course!

THE VOLVO REPORT!

Image
Ugh! Here is a new tradition on the Autoblog....The VOLVO report. To beat thy enemy, one must know thy enemy, and that is the purpose of this! Let's see what stupid thing Volvo is doing this time. Well, well well. Those rat bastards are up to no good. Look at this article! http://www.acadvertiser.co.uk/lifestyle/motoring-car-news /2008/08/29/car-makers-look-to-russian-revolution-65864-21614119/ Those A-holes are spending 100 million Euros to expand into....RUSSIA! I guess they like Soviet farms, Gulags, and Cuban missile crises. " Russia is the new powerhouse in the global automotiv e industry. We have already sold 21,000 new vehicles this year, an increase of 95 per cent. And we are confidently expecting this figure to be nearer 29,000 by the end of the year. Everything points to the fact that the Russian market is in full swing and one of the most important for the growth of the Volvo brand." -Evil Volvo Executive Fredrik Arp He is thrilled. This portrait is hanging in...

FWD+Paddle Shifters=Sports Sedan?

Image
Nissan has balls. Normally the Autoblog (the greatest thing to hit the autoworld since the Mustang II!!!) does not like to cover brands in back to back entries, but damn Nissan, we need to give you boyahakasha respek! right here. With the Americans going back to RWD platforms, looks like Nissan is one of the few FWD sport sedan Defenders of the Faith. The Maxima is a very pretty car, especially with that aggressive front fascia. Car and Driver recently however did not really understand the Maxima's purpose- how can a sports car be FWD with out a true manual tranny? It was pretty daring for Nissan togo for a FWD sports sedan, and it was badass to give this car paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. Yes. Paddle Shifters. Fucking awesome. I don't care how the Maxima is "confused with it's identity" and blah blah blah. It is an FWD car, with paddle shifters. Hell- some RWD platforms in it's price segment don't have paddle shifters, and the press is giving...
