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 this donkey-driven display in Shenyang decided that six breakdowns in a year, followed by an engine replacement and yet another breakdown was enough. He returned the SUV to the dealer and asked for a refund. According to The Tycho, the dealer wasn't exactly eager to hand him his cash. [The Tycho]

What began life as the LRX concept is now official: the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is headed for production, after a world debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. The crossover vehicle takes the heritage of Land Rover's rugged off-roaders and translates it to compact, two-door size. The $45,000 Evoque gets some of its mechanical inspiration from the Land Rover LR2, but it's much more dashing than its more practical sibling. The dramatic sloping roof makes the four-seater into the tidiest statement of Range Rover style thus far--and fashion's playing an even larger role than the jewel-like...

Whammer In The Slammer: George Michael Gets Jail Time For Driving While High As A KiteYou 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.

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 note: yes, they still have photo shops in Britain.) But it could've been shot any random night in Michael's one-man crazytown. From where we sit, it makes him look a little like post-apocafacelift Mary Tyler Moore. Which should be a warning to anybody. George, if you're reading this, we're thinking...
