Precision driving takes many forms. Sometimes it involves clipping an apex at 140 mph, sometimes it means dancing a car sideways inches from another while blowing giant clouds of smoke from the rear wheel arches, and sometimes it means putting a very wide, very expensive car in a not-much-wider...

They may not have an auto industry in a couple of years, but at least the Aussies may once again have their own auto show to attend. At one point Australia had major auto shows taking place annually in state capitals Sydney and Melbourne but in 2010 the separate events merged into the combined...

The first fruits of that labor were...

The Smart Forfour is set to make its return, and a prototype of the vehicle has been spotted for the first time.
