  • 2013 Tesla Model S

    The NASDAQ isn't exactly a top topic amongst most gearheads, nor is its NASDAQ-100 Index, used to track the exchange's climate. But as of July 15, Tesla Motors will become one of the 100 companies that compose the index. That will make Tesla [NSDQ:TSLA] the only automaker listed in the index, owing mostly to the fact that it's the only automaker listed on NASDAQ. Tesla finds a spot open on the NASDAQ-100 index because Oracle is leaving for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). So what does this mean for the electric car fan? Basically, it means Tesla is being recognized by the financial world...

  • 2013 Cadillac ATS

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a recall for a small handful of General Motors products. It seems that a pair of new Cadillac models is acting up. The vehicles potentially affected are the 2013 Cadillac ATS, XTS, and also the 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Apparently the brake lights on these models may begin flashing intermittently even though no pressure is being applied to the brake pedal. Additionally, this issue can also force the car out of an engaged cruise control mode. Upon first glance it doesn't appear to be too terrible of a calamity as far as recalls...

  • 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo

    You're a pretty good driver. Perhaps you've been to a few track days, taken a few lessons, and you're certainly no slouch on your local canyon roads. Not only that, but you explore your limits without any help from a traction control system because you're on your way to true tail-out driving glory. Still, once you're done and on the drive home it might not be a bad idea to push that little button and turn the "nanny" systems back on. Even if you think your the next Fangio... the guy or gal in the lane next to you probably isn't. (Also, you're not the next Fangio) British outlet Autocar wanted...
