  • Lagonda SUV Concept by Aston Martin

    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. Unfortunately, the latest also includes a comparison of the Lagonda re-launch to Daimler's underperforming hyperlux marque, Maybach. Though it's a favorable comparison (Bez says Lagonda can be re-launched for much less money), we have to question any mention of Maybach when talking about a new brand. It's...

    According to Camaro5, a new edition of the Camaro will be shown off at that Web site's "Camaro5Fest" on Friday, April 15.

The original forum poster also has said it will not be a Z28 Still, it's a development that bears watching. Check back after Tax Day for full-details. [Camaro5]

Aside from the consummate professional behind the wheel, the video is a great showing for the LFA, with the data, tach, and speedometer showing just what the car can do--not to mention the sounds of its quick-shifting transmission and V-10...
