  • Ferrari FF spotted in the wild

    Most remain divided on the styling of the new Ferrari FF and its controversial ‘shooting brake’ bodystyle, and it seems no amount of official photography is going to persuade its detractors. However, we now have a new video of the car captured by the pilot of a dog sled that came across a completely undisguised version in the snowy climates of Europe. It shows the latest Ferrari supercar in much better lighting than the official stuff we’ve already seen and we have to say that the design is starting to grow on us. For the full specs, check out our previous post by clicking...

  • Sumos for Subaru in new Canadian ad campaign
    Subaru Canada Ditches Skinny Supermodels, Goes Sumo

    Don't get us wrong, we're huge fans of pretty women, minimally clothed, in close proximity to automotive hardware. We're not alone in that, either. But it's a bit cliched, and often more than a bit lame. Subaru Canada has taken the eye-candy in an entirely different direction. And we like it. A...

  • 2012 Lexus LFA and Dutch supermodel Rianne Ten Haken
    Video: 2012 Lexus LFA Meets Dutch Supermodel In Sports Illustrated Photo Shoot

    The 2012 Lexus LFA is certainly one car that’s not hard to notice. However, combine it with a supermodel wearing nothing but a skimpy swimsuit and you’ll pretty much have everyone’s attention--well, maybe just half of everyone’s attention. That’s exactly what appears...

  • Jay Leno tests the Real Car Simulator
    Video: Jay Leno's Garage Drives The Real Car Simulator

    Driving sims have come light years since the original Test Drive hit the scene in 1987 and other progenitors of the genre. But what's the next step? Apparently, driving a real car in front of a giant screen...at 150 mph. Perched atop a dynamometer, the simulator, engineered by TAG Systems, features...

    We just can't get enough of the sight and sound of the James Glickenhaus Ferrari P4/5 Competizione doing its thing on tracks all over Europe, and we're betting you can't either. This video fetures some excellent close-ups, great driving footage, and of course, that sound. Like June Carter...

  • 2011 Jaguar XKR Convertible review

    The 2011 Jaguar XKR Convertible is one of our favorite drop-tops here at High Gear Media, and for good reason. With a supercharged V-8 belting out 510 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque, oodles of luxury and street cred in spades, what’s not to love? See what else gets us excited about the stunning new Jaguar convertible in this quick two minute review by our very own Marty Padgett. After watching, click here for his full in-depth review. Interestingly, Jaguar sells two different versions of the XKR in 2011, the regular model and the special edition XKR175 built to commemorate the...

  • 2012 Acura TL
    Video: 2012 Acura TL Unveiling At 2011 Chicago Auto Show

    We aren't huge fans of the facelifted 2012 Acura TL's design, as it looks quite a lot like the last one, though there's a lot to redeem the car once you get past the face. Judging by your comments, you're not all that pleased with it either. Either way, you can watch the official video of its...

  • Transformers 3 - Dark of the Moon trailer

    Fast Five--a.k.a. Fast and the Furious Five--wasn't the only big Hollywood title getting a showing as an ad during yesterday’s Super Bowl XLV. The third installment of the Transformers franchise, Transformers 3 - Dark Of The Moon was also previewed as a short snippet, revealing some tantalizing new details.

    While Mercedes-Benz may have featured Sean P. Diddy Combs in its Super Bowl XLV ad, Chrysler has called on fellow hip hop idol Eminem to star in its own ad. The cameo is fitting given Eminem’s Detroit roots, a common background Chrysler is proud to express and one that ties with the...

    Video: BMW Highlights Commitment To U.S. In Super Bowl XLV Ad

    Does it make sense for a German luxury automaker to be designing and building cars in the U.S., not only for local sale but for worldwide distribution? According to BMW it does, and in its new ad for Super Bowl XLV the automaker highlighted this fact using the new 2011 BMW X3 as an example. The...

  • Ferrari 458 Italia gets run over by Ford F-150 pickup truck

    Few articles have managed to gather as much controversy as our recent post on the brand new Ferrari 458 Italia that was run over by a Ford F-150 pickup truck. Arguments certainly heated up in the comments section, with most disagreeing on who was to blame for the accident and whether or not the Italian exotic was repairable or destined to be a write-off. We now have some new, never-before-seen images of the crash thanks to the excellent photography work of bystander James Worley. Unfortunately, the images still don’t shed much light on who was to blame but we do get to see the resulting...

    Video: Chevy Camaro Gets Spotlight In Second Super Bowl Ad

    Earlier this week, Chevrolet released its first Super Bowl XLV ad, featuring Bumblebee and an unfortunate rodent mascot. Today, we get an unofficial release of the second, focused on the Camaro.
