Range Rover Returned To Dealer With Donkey Power
Oh, those clever, dissatisfied Chinese luxury car owners and their displays. First it was beating a Gallardo to death with sledgehammers. Now it's towing a broken-down Range Rover back to the dealership with donkeys. What's next? Blowing up a Bentley on a giant pile of firecrackers? The man behind...

Report: Aston Martin Boss Confirms Lagonda Plans, More Than One Model Coming
When Aston Martin previewed the rebirth of the Lagonda brand with an ungainly SUV concept at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, no one was optimistic about its success. Aston took the criticism to heart, but plans to go ahead with the brand's comeback, according to the latest from Dr. Ulrich Bez...

2010 LA Auto Show: 2012 Range Rover Evoque Five-Door Debut Party
The 2012 Range Rover Evoque five-door will officially be revealed this morning at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. But Range Rover's new baby debuted last night at an invitation-only party packed with celebrities, spotlights, and paparazzi--or at least photographers. A horde of slim, young...

2010 Los Angeles Auto Show Preview: 2012 Range Rover Evoque Five-Door
Dynamically designed and arrestingly attractive, the 2012 Range Rover Evoque has won much praise on the auto show circuit and though the crossover is already headed to production, so far only the three-door ‘Coupe’ version has been officially revealed. That is until now. The new 2012...

We told you that Juliette Lewis had been tapped to perform at the Range Rover Evoque launch party during the 2010 Paris Auto Show. You didn't believe us. "Juliette Lewis?" you asked. "Why not Joseph Gordon-Levitt? He's got a band. Last we heard, Keanu had one, too." But do they possess the power of the Navajo sweater dress? They do not. (Also, Juliette happens to be running press junkets for Conviction, so we're guessing she was already in the area. Surely even Land Rover needs to cut costs where it can.) Anyway, the launch event was very glamorous, Lewis performed an hour-long set dressed in...

Range Rover Evoque: Five-Door Cover's Blown
The 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque three-door is heading to this week's 2010 Paris Auto Show, but a stealthy five-door version that had been planned for a debut later this year has instead hit the Web.

Whammer In The Slammer: George Michael Gets Jail Time For Driving While High As A Kite
You know how it goes: you're at a party having a couple of brews, then you utter a few careless whispers, things get a little too funky, and -- boom -- next thing you know, you're slumped across the leather seat of a Range Rover, being roughed up by policemen. (Not in the good way.) We've all been...

Today is a good day for rumors, it seems. The latest: Range Rover's new "baby" Evoque will get a Ford-supplied 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine under its hood. Though completely unsubstantiated at this point, the move would make a certain kind of sense. Tata Motors, the not-so-new owners of Jaguar-Land Rover, have their plate full when it comes to developing new models and all the core parts that go with them. Turning to a partner for supply of particularly complex and expensive development projects would save time and money. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine would turn out...

George Michael And The Gaoler
So, George Michael: Britain's death-wishy answer to Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, and Kevin Spacey. He's like the holiday turducken no one wants to eat. This photo says it all, right? We think it was taken the night that he crashed his Land Rover through the front window of a photo shop. (Side...

News flash: Christina Aguilera has a need for speed. News flashier: unlike many of her pop tartelette colleagues, she wants the legal kind. Behind the link, you'll see a very recent shot of Xtina browsing the merch at a Ferrari dealership in Calabasas, California. Presumably this is what celebrity...

Ten Cars NBA Players Will Be Driving Ten Years From Now
With all the talk of LeBron's departure from Cleveland, I've been wondering what I'd do with that kind of salary. There is no doubt that my dream cars would come in at the top of my list. Rumor has it, "King" James has developed a nice little car collection of his own. He has become a superstar...

George Michael Is The Worst Celebrity Driver, Ever
You can have your Dreyfusses and Lohans--for our money, George Michael is the Worst Celebrity Driver Ever. This weekend, Michael hit a building after only recently getting his driver's license back from his last scuff with the law. In 2007, Michael was found under the influence of drugs in his...

Roughly 234 years ago, we said "smell ya later" to Great Britain. And today -- before we break into the Jack Daniels, PBR, and other appropriately American, appropriately adult beverages -- we would like to remind you why: Once again, England has come between us and something we love. Before us: the imposing figure of Posh Spice (née Victoria Beckham). Does anything about her look warm an comforting? She is menacing -- as pointy and angular as a redcoat's bayonet. In some, she even inspires thoughts of rebellious tea parties. Or maybe teabagging. We get confused. Anyway, just like George...

Hilary Duff Is Clearly At Home On The Range
At first, we were just going to say something catty about Hilary Duff in the photo behind the link below. You know, maybe something about the fact that she's going to the gym in Louboutins, which can only mean that she's finally broken down and agreed to take that damn stripper aerobics class --...
