The new Saab 9-3: Clean diesel and Improved Biopower {Autoblog Green}
Jun 20th 2007 3:49PM Hah! That picture was taken at the Alameda Air Base--the dead giveaway is the silhouette of the Bay Bridge, and the San Francisco skyline in the background.
Oh, and I might consider buying a Saab if they were RWD. Call me crazy (but don't call me Sally or Billy Ray) but I think that torque steer is just a completely silly invention.
Volvo S80, Scion xB score 'good' on IIHS crash tests {Autoblog}
Jun 20th 2007 3:44PM Gone are the days of the five-star crash/safety ratings of the simple yet effective Volvo 240 and 740 line. With 267,000 miles on my 87 turbo stickshift wagon, I am holding onto it for the long run.
Toyota SARD entering Supra HV-R hybrid racer in Tokachi 24 hours {Autoblog}
Jun 18th 2007 3:43PM Funny how Toyota axed the Supra from it’s consumer lineup, yet the Supra is still alive and kicking in the world of motorsports--this only means to me that the car was deemed "too good" for consumers (along with the Mazda FD-3S and Nissan R34 GTR). Instead consumers get anemic V6 engines (i.e., Nissan *COUGH*Renault*COUGH* 350Z/G35) and blaaah designs.
Fanboys in motion: Inside Line drives pre-op Bumblebee {Autoblog}
Jun 14th 2007 3:48PM "Bumblebee hooks the lowly Shia up with uber-fox Megan"
"over-fox"???? WTF is that supposed to mean? Oh, I get it, the writer attempted to use the German word for "over", thinking he knew what the hell he was doing. Apparently editorial columnists grow on trees, and have never studied any sort of journalism classes at their local junior college. Aufenthalt in der Schule!!!
Left lane drivers of America want you to move over. You know who you are {Autoblog}
Jun 12th 2007 4:13PM The problem is that SUVs are too high off the ground to see our windshields, so they won't know that they are hogging the left lane... or is it that they are oblivious since their latte and cellphone have them thoroughly distracted from everything else?
Celebrate 40 years of rotary power with Mazda {Autoblog}
May 31st 2007 12:47AM Too bad that the RX-8 is such an over-marketed ugly turd, especially when compared to the FD-3S (third generation) RX-7.

May 31st 2007 12:34AM I wonder what the drag coefficient of Robert Kubica's nose is.
Welcome to the new Autoblog! {Autoblog}
May 24th 2007 1:38AM Wow, I guess it was time that Autoblog joined the “I’m Web 2.0 because everyone else is and you should too” bandwagon. I must say, that the new look looks a lot like... yes, you guessed it—EVERYONE ELSE’S WEB 2.0 WEBSITE!!! CONGRATULATIONS, and may ye fade into the rest.
That’s sarcasm, by the way.
Delorean finally gets the engine it should have had all along - 3 rotor Wankel {Autoblog}
May 21st 2007 10:40AM The 20B rotary engine is pretty badass. Blokes in Australia have been modifying them and turbocharging/intercooling them for several years now, and so output of over 500HP is not uncommon, and 1,200HP in full-race trim is realistic as well. http://www.3rotor.com/
VIDEO: Porsche 959 takes the Paris-Dakar Rally {Autoblog}
May 21st 2007 10:32AM I agree, without hearing the engine, but instead some lame-ass music that no one other than the person who compiled the video likes is completely worthless. That would be like watching porn without any naughty bits.
