Road and Track Free-for-All: We pit the most exciting exotic and GT machines against one another, at four venues. After the lap times are tallied, who wins?

aston_martin submitted on 7/23/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 12:27:17 PM

When it comes to comparison road tests, Road & Track has always led the way among the world's automotive magazines, as we have consistently devised unique and innovative ways to pit one automobile's performance traits against another's. Features such as "The World's Fastest Cars," "0–100–0," "Kings of the Quarter Mile" and "The Standing Mile" have become R&T trademarks, often forcing other publications to imitate our ideas outright.

Road test: Seat Leon Cupra

greenwad submitted on 7/23/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 9:55:34 AM

What’s it about? The hot hatch segment is a bit crowded at the moment. That’s never a bad thing of course, but given the cost of fuel and the environmental fallout from global warming, you’d expect things to be different. Read More

Which retro ride is the coolest? Challenger, Camaro or Mustang. And how dead IS retro?

Anticipation has certainly run high as muscle car fans eagerly await the return of the Camaro.   Chevrolet has given us the first official pictures of the forthcoming Camaro, and based on initial impressions the production car holds true to the concept car many have lusted over for the past few years.

New M3 Convertible: A disappointment?

dlin submitted on 7/18/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 10:58:30 AM

The M3 You'll Love To Hate and Hate To Love On a gut level, you want to accept the 2008 BMW M3 Convertible's limitations, because it delivers so many of the right sensations — the insistent tone of the workaholic V8, the exhaust pop on downshifts, the beads of sweat that form on your sunburned forehead. Yet, for all the benefits of its retractable hardtop, this M3 is too heavy for its own good, so its handling performance numbers simply aren't those of a serious performance car. Read More

Pontiac G6 Gxp Sedan Review

greenwad submitted on 7/10/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 8:04:05 AM

It’s always a good thing when a sensible sedan is corrupted with excessive performance, visual upgrades and attitude-a-plenty. The Pontiac G6 doesn’t suffer from a lack of power or personality, but the performance vehicle engineers at GM have been busy tweaking it anyways. Read More

EVO Magazine Long Term Test: Mitsubishi Evo X FQ-300 SST.....More Exciting Then The M3?

aston_martin submitted on 7/5/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 5:42:16 PM

The latest Evo didn’t cover itself with glory in Henry’s twin test with the Impreza STI last issue. Thin power delivery, no steering feel, worrying glimpses of defaulting to the mainstream… these were not promising judgments. Read More

Audi A5 3.2 Quattro Review

In the old days, a coupe was considered more of a driver’s car than a sedan. A two-door car provided its owner with more style and driving pleasure than a family-oriented four-door. Read More

Final words : The X-Bow could be placed between a Catheram CSR 200 and an Ariel Atom. It is litteraly unbeatable in the corners and on the straights, the 200kg of downforce produced by the aero package help you keeping control of everything. Read More
