Cadillac's last advert for its ELR range-extended electric coupe was... polarizing, to put it mildly. Called "Poolside", its lead character is either loved or hated depending on what kind of American you see yourself as. Actor Neil McDonough portrayed a man who'd probably sell his own mother if it meant getting the life, job and car he wanted, and left us wondering whether actual ELR buyers would want to associate with such a character. DON'T MISS: LIT Motors C1: The Car-Like Motorcycle That Can't Fall Down Its latest advert for the car is a little more informative. Not as interesting, nor...

BMW i8 Sounds Far More Interesting Than We Expected: VideoBMW seems to be in love with the idea of adding fake sound generators to their vehicles these days. That's a shame since the engines can sound quite exciting on their own, with no help from false sources. Still, a car that will require some fake sound generation is the BMW i8, since it is capable...

Following its world debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show late last year, Porsche’s new 918 Spyder is slowly making its way into buyer hands. Avid Porsche fan Jay Leno hasn’t confirmed if he’s bought one yet (he's already bought a McLaren P1), but he did recently take a closer look at one and appears to have come away very impressed with it. After a quick spin during the 918 Spyder’s local debut in Monterey, California last year, Leno got a second look at the car in his garage. On hand to explain all the details was Porsche North America spokesman Daniel Eastman. MUST...

BMW Spins On 'Ring, Almost Gets Eaten By Hummer: VideoSaying that there are plenty of tough corners on the Nürburgring is like saying Nutella tastes like angels fornicating on your tongue.
