As someone who happened to have grown up in snowy climes of the Great Lakes States for the first 25 years of life, this author knows exactly how nasty it can be in the morning to walk out of your nice, toasty house on a cold and blustery winter day. It's even worse when you need to drive ...

VIDEO: Ford press conference yields surprise $650 car announcement 1 month ago on Autoblog

Between the hysteria of this week's SEMA Show and Chrysler's never-ending (and partially baffling) revelations yesterday, a shocking announcement by Ford Motor Company has been nearly drowned out.

In future Detroit, pushing a junked dump truck out of a fourth floor window at the old Packard plant might result in a swarm of gen-1 Taurus police cars surrounding the building, and, if you're particularly unlucky, intervention by ED-209. ("You have 20 seconds to comply..."). In the present ...

VIDEO: Self-policing Wisconsin woman calls 911, turns herself in for drunk driving 1 month ago on Autoblog

Here at Autoblog, we definitely don't condone drunk driving. But we have to admit it is a bit of a tricky thing. How are you supposed to tell if you're drunk if your judgment is already impaired? Well, one woman clearly could tell that at least someone on the road was drunk, and she gave ...

VIDEO: 700-HP Saab 99 Quattro Turbo is like missing Koenigsegg ancestor 1 month ago on Autoblog

Sweden has just over nine million people – that's an entire country whose population is just a little bigger than New York City – and we'd believe it if someone told us they exclusively devoted their time to blessing the world with peculiar automotive concoctions. We'd file this ...

Close your eyes and try to envision the typical 2010 Chevrolet Camaro owner.

Coffman purchased his ...

VIDEO: Audi in on developing dashboard-mounted buddy robot 1 month ago on Autoblog

We don't know where carmakers got the idea that we want intelligent robots learning our behavior and then talking to us. Wherever it was, we don't want it any more than they thought we did 25 years ago in a talking Maxima. Nissan has its PIVO concept, which has the distinction of being as creepy ...

Well that was fast. As well it should be. Because what you're looking at is the most hardcore roadgoing M3 to date. It's called the GTS – not, as had been previously speculated, the CSL, GT or GT4 Street – and after seeing a few spy shots and some speculated details, BMW has just ...

VIDEO: Ken Block's Subaru-based TRAX STI is an alpine badass 1 month ago on Autoblog

Yes, that's probably the first ever Subaru tank. We can't say for certain, but I think in this case we can go ahead and assume. Driven by none other then Ken "Gymkhana" Block. Why does it exist? To be the "ultimate backcountry shred car," of course. We think what that actually means is that ...

VIDEO: Hyundai steps up to remedy world's worst parking job 1 month ago on Autoblog

More than a million-and-a-half people have watched an BMW X5 driver from Ontario, Canada make the tiniest of parking errors: hitting the gas instead of the brake and driving on top of two other cars. Turns out Hyundai Auto Canada was one of those 'people.' One of the cars crushed by the X5 ...

VIDEO: GM offers sneak peek at mystery crate engine headed for SEMA 1 month ago on Autoblog

General Motors is getting ready for SEMA 2009, but the Detroit-based automaker has a little over a week before it can show us anything official in Las Vegas. That isn't stopping the General from teasing us, though, as this 40-second YouTube clip clearly demonstrates. One of GM's new tuner ...

VIDEO: Weaving the Lexus LFA's carbon fiber A-pillar is mesmerizing 1 month ago on Autoblog

If you read our First Drive of the Lexus LFA, you might recall an interesting little factoid we threw in to illustrate the OCD-level of detail Toyota used to produce its first ever supercar. With over 150 years of looming experience, ToMoCo owns a rotary weaver -- one of two in existence -- ...

VIDEO: 100% NSFW Irish rally footage 1 month ago on Autoblog

There are good rally videos, bad rally videos and ugly rally videos. There are even other totally unsafe for work Irish rally videos. But then there's this video. Now, we love swearing. It's like a form of meditation. Dirty yoga let's call it. Speaking of Eastern philosophies, there's an old ...

First shot of A-Team cast released, GMC van included [w/VIDEO] 1 month ago on Autoblog

The A-Team was a pop culture phenomenon of the Eighties on par with Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazard. And since Hannibal, B.A., Face and Murdoch hold a special place in the hearts and minds of Gen-Xers, it was only a matter of time before the super-fake action show hit the silver screen. ...

VIDEO: Irish rally co-driver gives more confidence than a bottle of Bushmill's [*NSFW] 1 month ago on Autoblog

Football fans know that offense sells tickets, but defense wins games. Rallying is not so different. Drivers get all the glory, but they'd all be stranded upside-down in a tree somewhere without their co-pilots. The navigators ride shotgun and give the driver a turn-by-turn play-by-play of ...
