I love Smart cars. Ever since studying abroad in Europe back in 2002, I&#8217;ve had a thing for &#8216;em. And now that I&#8217;ve lived in a city for nearly 7 years, the thought of a real-world micro machine has become that much more enticing.
But is there anything better than a Smart car? Well, yeah. An [...]]]></description>

Thanks financial crisis&#8230;for (potentially) killing off an awesome feat of automotive engineering thanks to your greedy/needy ways.  Word is VW may scrap its awesome Concept BlueSport roadster (for now) due to the foreseeable difficulty of selling a niche vehicle in a down economy.
Introduced back in January @ the North American International Auto Show in [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s no secret that I&#8217;m a huge fan of BMW&#8217;s MINI automobiles. After living in San Francisco for the past five years, I&#8217;ve had to deal with my MINI-lust on a daily basis as they can literally be found driving and/or parked on just about every street here.
Well, my love affair with this killer go-kart [...]]]></description>

Ok, so maybe its not fair (or appropriate) to compare an electric $50k 4-door sports sedan with a $200k 4-door super car&#8230;but hey, that&#8217;s what the Interwebs are for, right? The Tesla Model S (above) is expected to achieve 0-60mph in 5.5-6 seconds,1 while the Aston Martin Rapide (below) will supposedly reach the same milestone [...]]]></description>

Frankly, it really doesn&#8217;t matter at all when Audi finally releases its amazing R8 Spider convertible&#8230;just the fact that cars like this even exist is good enough for me (and the other multiple billions of people who will never be able to afford such a ride). Keep up the good work, OOOO.

Toyota recently announced that it will be adding solar equipment to its next-gen Prius (as well as reducing the vehicles weight to improve mpg).  The solar panels installed on the roof will aid in powering the hybrid&#8216;s air-conditioning system, of all things.
Now that&#8217;s just funny.
