2011

  • 2012 Toyota Yaris

    As we're seeing with cars like the 2011 Ford Fiesta, small size no longer means a small specification list. The 2012 Toyota Yaris will be no different. The car has just been launched in Europe and more details have been revealed about what toys you can expect to have in Toyota's smallest model. The biggest news is the inclusion of Toyota's Touch & Go infotainment system, marking a significant step up for in-car entertainment. Touch & Go features a 6.1-inch touchscreen display, through which you can control navigation systems, a backup camera for easy parking and mobile apps. You'll...

  • Ford's showroom on PlayStation Home. Image: Ford Motor Company

    Shopping for cars on a PlayStation 3 is nothing new: in fact, virtually every racing game lets you view and even test drive cars ranging from the mundane to the exotic. Ford has realized that there may be an opportunity beyond brand licensing to game companies, so the automaker has opened a virtual showroom in Sony’s PlayStation Home. You can’t really buy a car through the PS3 console (yet, at least), and Ford doesn’t have every model rendered and on display. In fact, users (or their avatars) can only view the Fiesta and the Edge, which seems to be an odd mix given the...

  • 2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Sang Bleu

    About a month ago, three men from Poland managed to steal a trio of exotic cars, a BMW 7-Series, a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and a one-off Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu--yes, the special edition model built to celebrate Bugatti’s centenary back in 2009. The brazen--or should we say stupid--thieves then attempted to drive the cars from where they were stolen during a home invasion in Oberrieden, Switzerland to Poland--via Germany. Clearly, the cars stood out on the German autobahns and police quickly apprehended two of the thieves. Sadly, not before the driver of the Veyron scraped...

  • Austin 'Chumlee' Russell (via TMZ)

    Here's a little celeb news to make you smile -- or cry, or maybe scratch your head, depending on your point of view: Austin "Chumlee" Russell from the reality series Pawn Stars is now motoring around Vegas in a Maserati GranTurismo. According to TMZ, the Chumster visited his local Maserati showroom last Thursday to give the car a once-over. By the time he rolled out of there, he'd talked down the dealer from an asking price of $100,000 to $85,000. Apparently, hanging out with expert hagglers has its benefits. Why would anyone offer such a cut to a cable TV star who's probably making in the...
