• 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR recalls the original bumbleb … <cite>Motoramic</cite> Back in 1970, VW released the Beetle GSR. Limited to 3500 units, the “Yellow Black Racer” (Gelb Schwarzer Renner) looked remarkably like a bumblebee, and amassing just 50 hp, it produced about the same amount of power, too. For 2014 the bee returns, boasting the same yellow/black paint scheme, but a far more prominent powerplant. [...] More »
  
• 2014 Toyota Tundra makes another run at pickup loyalist … <cite>Motoramic</cite> Once upon a time, Toyota looked ready to put a final knife into Detroit's automotive business by building the most American of vehicles, the full-size pickup truck.

The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo and X6 don't sell well, mainly due to their ill-received profiles. None of which has kept BMW from taking another at-bat using its most valuable player, the 3-Series sedan — [...] More »

I'm going to the Chicago Auto Show tomorrow. And answer me this one question - WHY DOES EVERY FREAKING NEW CAR HAVE TO HAVE STUPID LED LIGHTS UNDER/AROUND THE STINKING HEADLIGHTS. The new Beetle is the latest poser GRRRRR!!!!!!

 

It's the latest thing Amy. It's the 2013 version of fart pipe exhaust.

 

Stupid Audi for starting this crap!

 

Now you're gonna have to answer to some Monte owners who have done that mod to their car.

 

I like the bug's new look. It reminds me of a 80s porsche.
