2012 Buick Regal GS gets a power boost [video] Are you high?

Lincoln promises to match BMW & Lexus, make pigs fly Beating Lexus won't be too difficult. But Lincoln probably won't ever be a real competitor against BMW or Audi. Frankly, the Lincoln name is old sounding. It sounds like an old dead president. Not only do the cars have to become the new benchmarks (and they're not remotely close at doing that) but Lincoln also has to work on their brand equity which their corporate owner has neglected for, oh, at least a quarter century.

Renault Samsung SM7 revealed [video] Samsung isn't the worst electronics/appliance brand, but it's pretty darned close. Apex is worse.

Hawtai SUV headed to America & Europe as part of Saab deal Are you kidding? As part of the SAAB deal, we get this gem!? Oh joy, how did we get so lucky? Let me be clear, there are a thousand reasons that the Chinese should never be permitted to build another vehicle or any durable goods or safety item. They just isn't in their DNA to do it. Even if the day comes that they can, they will still have a legacy that they'll have to overcome of building the shoddiest, most toxic, lowest quality crap at the lowest price. A disposable iPod, sure. But a vehicle, no way. I will never own a chinese vehicle.

Revised 2011 Lexus IS revealed This car is lame. And since it's receiving a meaningless update, I suppose that it's going to continue to be sold for at least two more years. It's a nice car for sorority girls, nothing more. As for the comments about the LED lighting, I'm getting really tired of it. It looks good on Audis because it's their signature look. I prefer a smooth ribbon of light like you'll see with the fog lamps on the Taurus SHO or the rear lights that have the "neon" piping, like on BMWs. The pixel look is growing old very fast.

BMW N.A. bosses admit mistake launching 5-Series GT with V8 I don't find it ugly, but it is as bland as a Camry. I don't know what's worse, being revolting or being invisible.

Ford commits to offer Flex alongside Explorer I really like this car. It looks great in person and really stands out against all the vanilla Hondas, Hyundais and other generic cars. I do think that Ford can do more with it. The bland interior, complete with terrible fake woodgrain, is not as interesting as the exterior. Ford could easily offer some interesting aftermarket items. I would love one with Hartmann DTM wheels, piano black interior and a surfboard on the roof.

Hamann Typhoon based on Mercedes G55 AMG Revealed This Canyonero would impress no one at the door of any decent restaurant. The valet would park it in the darkest unlit corner of the parking lot. I can't tell which is worse, the retarded wing on the roof, or the 70s-pimp exhaust that would scald the rear passenger's leg. It's good for a laugh though.

Geely Reach Agreement to Buy Volvo - Report Well there goes Volvo. My family has always owned them. My very liberal mother is very open minded about just about everything, except for purchasing products from China. She can't stand it when things are made in China, let alone made in China for Chinese owned companies. She will probably set fire to her car when she catches wind of this. I'm exaggerating of course, but maybe not really.
