Well Toyota has really f*cked up, haven’t they? Too bad Prius weren’t recalled though….that’s sad. Recall a bunch of Lexus-es (Lexii for plural??) while you’re at ToMoCo…for being BORING!
At least 5.3 million cars are being recalled across Europe and the United States. Toyota has stopped production of all of these cars, AND if you are gonna walk into a Toyota showroom and try to buy a Corolla (why!??!), they will not let you—–as Toyota will not sell you a new car affected by the recall.
Massive fail…..Toyota is in BIG trouble. Japan gonna bail em out? let’s see what happens….

I find this Audi A1 styling video to be hilarious….i’m not sure why exactly. Maybe it’s their sheer nerdiness, or their stern german sensibility, or maybe because they are trying to simulate an actual event in the form of a weird, staged reinactment! I’m looking forward to the A1 though…should be a very interesting car. Now bring it to the USA, Audi!
All hail the rescue of SAAB. I was rooting for it all along, and now it seems it has happened. Spyker, with the deep $600 million help of the Swedish government, has had their bid accepted by the fat slobs at GM.
Rumour is that upcoming SAAB models will be known as SAAB SPYKER. The 9-5 (new) will be released in the US market later in 2010.
Great news. Good luck, Spyker!
Actually….I took this photo about 3 or 4 months ago…(maybe longer?) as this 370Z Roadster was parked near my flat here in Brooklyn. I forgot to post this back then, and now i’ve come to realise that this car still hasn’t been released! So i’m posting it now. It wasn’t exactly ‘nice’ to look at, but wasn’t terrible either.
Rohit Sharma makes some cool artwork. Based out of New Delhi, his paintings capture the essence of city living in India. I really dig his vintage car paintings. (makes for good wallpaper too!) Check out the other variations on his website:
HOLY SOUND! take a listen. Don’t get scared around the 2 minute mark!
For the first time since I started this blog about 16 months ago, it recieved more than 1000 unique views for just today. That’s a milestone! Cheers to all the IEDEI friends out there, and let’s aim for 2000 hits a day!
Time to celebrate with a picture of our spiritual webmaster, Steve McQueen!
While not as exciting as the idea of a ‘new’ Corrado, the Jetta Coupe images coming out are showing it to be a pretty damn attractive little coupe. Definitely looks a bit like a baby Audi A5, which is definitely not a bad thing!
All in all, i think this is gonna be mad popular with Vdubbers everywhere. Nice one, VW.

I want it. MAKE IT. I’ll be in the order list. 100% (assuming it’s not over $60k…LOL)
This is probably the most beautiful Audi since the MK1 TT….i’m thoroughly impressed. It looks like the perfect combination of italian and german. Brilliant proportions. Could this be an Audi R4? MK3 Audi TT? My source tells me it is unknown what this car exactly is at the moment. All we know is that it is the 3rd in a string of E-Tron concepts, however this one is far more developed than the previous two, and is jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

Last year, at the CORONADO FESTIVAL OF SPEED in San Diego, i witnessed the absolute MADNESS of Can Am cars…….the most glorious, wicked, and loud exhausts i have ever heard. My ears were never the same. I got back from that trip and immediately ordered the loudest exhaust i could for my car!
These cars were amazing. CAN AM racing was amazing! WATCH THIS:
Rumour has it that there will be a NEW Jetta-based Coupe introduced this week in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show.
BRING BACK THE C ORRADO!! stay tuned this week for more updates on this!
Just a photo of the new season of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge GT Class, where there is an APR tuned Audi S4. Don’t ya love the photo of the S4 and the tuned, trans-am livery Chevrolet Camaro duking it out? Very cool!

The Foto of The Day Lancia Fulvia reminded me of this lost 2003 Lancia Fulvia concept car…..it was a stunning concept, heavily derived from the original design, but modern in its interpretation. I never understood why FIAT destroyed the Lancia name, instead of bringing cars like this Fulvia to production. My friend Jim Hall has tried to explain this numerous times, but I will never understand…..
COME TO YOUR SENSES FIAT & Lancia!! MAKE IT!
