Nothing Spells Luxury Cars Like Amazon

2007lincolnmkz_2

In a bizarre move, Lincoln will sell its cars through online retailer Amazon. Come Monday, while you’re buying a couple of CDs for that favorite niece of nephew for the holidays you can also pick up a new Lincoln MKZ for yourself or that really lucky niece or nephew. Of course, you’ll still have to go through a nearby Lincoln dealer to complete the transaction, so we wonder how different the process will be from building a vehicle on Lincoln’s own site (or on sites like, say, Cars.com) and requesting quotes from dealers in the area.

There are some negative quotes in The Detroit News story with one analyst bluntly calling the concept “absurd.” We also wonder how the company is deciding which dealer gets the lead from Amazon in large markets. Plus, Lincoln is trying to sell itself as a luxury brand; does Amazon have any luxury cachet?

6TH Gear Launches 'Teentrackattack'

6TH Gear Launches Teentrackattack Car Walls

Most of us will never get a chance to drive a supercar, even if we have a respectable number of years behind the wheel. 6th Gear however, is offering the chance to drive a supercar to those who haven't even reached the legal age for driving. TeenTrackAttack lets under 17s who aspire to become the next Lewis Hamilton drive supercars in a controlled environment.


The TeenTrackAttack program includes the Aston Martin DB9, the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, the Ferrari F360 Spider and the Audi R8. The prices of these cars range from 80,000 GBP to 140,000 GBP. TeenTrackAttack however, is charging 89 GBP for 10 to 15 minutes in one of the four cars, with a hot lap in the Lamborghini being priced at 20 GBP.

Mitsubishi iMiev: Go Green

Mitsubishi iMiev: Go Green
Green cars are popping left and right and Mitsubishi joins the scene with the start of iMiev production. The iMiev is an electric car that has a range of a hundred miles, powered by a lithium ion battery pack. If the iMiev ever reaches the U.S, which is a big possibility, the price would be $31,300. With so many green cars starting to come out now, will the iMiev fare well in a saturated market? Nevertheless, there’s always a good demand for eco-friendly autos.

BMW could be developing 1-Series "Shooting Brake" wagon

Filed under: , ,



BMW's 1 Series is stuck between a rock and a hard place, neatly slotting in between BMW's perennial best-selling 3-series and the FWD wunderkind, MINI. Loaded-up Coopers pass the $30K mark with ease and the base 3-Series model starts in the same neighborhood. This doesn't leave much wiggle room with the 1 Series, but BMW is looking to make the most of what little extra market share is available. One segment that the Bavarian automaker is looking to explore is the "shooting brake" body style (think 2-door wagon) that would add a dose of practicality to the small coupe in the form of a rear hatch.

This type of vehicle has historically fared rather poorly in the style-conscious United States, but Europeans seem more apt to choose practical hatch-like styles, so we'd expect the new model to debut across the pond for sure. BMW is expected to launch a new version of its entry-level model that will be larger and offer downsized engines with direct injection and forced induction burning both gasoline and diesel fuel.

Gun-Barrel-Equipped Hummer, Monte Carlo, Mustang II Send Swedes Fleeing In Panic [Down On The Street Bonus Edition]

This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. Today we've got some really puzzling cars found down on the Gotland, Sweden street by RobHolcombe. Yes, the same guy who shot the legendary Turk & Stanyon cars in San Francisco had his camera while on a Baltic visit… and the mind reels when trying to imagine what Swedes make of the most Hummer-parody Hummer we've ever seen. Jump away to see all the photos and read Rob's description.


As promised a while back! Some shots of some Detroit steel as found on the streets of Gotland, Sweden....a great big island in the middle of the Baltic. Maybe there's something here you wanna post...maybe not.

Here's the shots of a god awful Hummer H2. Who in their right mind pays to gas that thing up at $10 + / gallon? I can't even imagine with all the great european cars out there. There's a word for it but I'll skip the potty mouth. Imagine that! I mean check out the freaking chromed machine gunnies on the hood (and note the playboy chick on the hood too!). And for the piece de resistance we have the American Flag door pulls....I risked life and limb getting that shot. Who knows where the muscle head was.....

And then this old Mustang fastback? 1974? 1975? I love the racing stripes and the rust....racing to its end!

And finally the Monte Carlo....huh???? I mean of ALL cars.....
