After much discussion about the Lincoln MKS to introduce with a V6 or tuned V6 engine, Ford issued a survey that asked consumers which engine would appear best with the MKS, and the result? Many voted for the V8, opposed to the V6. So now, it appears...

Bill submitted on 10/29/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 4:40:07 PM

Jason Cammisa, Sam Smith, and Erik Johnson answer the question of how many automotive journalists it takes to properly use the new LS460's self park feature. The answer? More than three, that's for sure. Will someone call a Lexus engineer?...

Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 vs Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG

BMW530i submitted on 10/26/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 2:31:49 PM

Found the video on Evo magazine. Even though I am more of a BMW fan, the 450SEL 6.9 holds a special place in my heart. In the late 1970s, I remember this car as being the best luxury car on earth. It had everything, power, prestige and was the prefer...

Drag race launching at 1000 frames per second.

Agent004 submitted on 10/24/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 7:27:28 PM

I always find it interesting when normally high speed movement is captured via a high speed camera. This video shows a couple funny cars and a top fuel launching off the line in slow motion. The amount that the tires twist is amazing considering th...

2007 Toyota Prius: Real-World Mileage

Agent009 submitted on 10/23/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 3:04:59 PM

Tell someone you drive a Toyota Prius, and they might conclude you also enjoy tofu scramble and "West Wing" reruns. Rest assured, I have no idea how tofu ever got scrambled, and I’m no "Wing"-man either. But I did get considerable seat time in a 2007...

101 Reasons Why Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo S Is Too Complex

Agent009 submitted on 10/19/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 3:17:54 PM

It is a rare occasion that any of us at WINDING ROAD have unpleasant thoughts about a Porsche. We love having the opportunity to drive them and we find them to be great cars. However, after spending a week with the Cayenne Turbo S, we have found some...

Do the new BMW coupes outdo their predecessors?

Agent001 submitted on 10/14/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 1:12:03 PM

But as BMW celebrates the pearl anniversary of its 6-cylinder 3 Series (in case you're thinking of sending a gift), I find myself wondering, "How much longer can this go on?" The in-line 6 has, arguably, come to define this car. But insomuch as horse...

More automakers are turning to retractable hardtops as replacements for conventional folding fabric tops on convertibles. Car companies hope to attract buyers to profitable convertibles by offering the allure of open-air motoring and the buttoned-up ...

BMW doesn't use consumer clinics to vet new designs. Should they?

Agent001 submitted on 10/12/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 11:04:55 PM

American Chris Bangle may get all the press, but Adrian van Hooydonk is the man behind BMW's fresh new looks. Consumers always will give an opinion based on what they know—they can say what they like or don't like today. What we're really asking o...
