Prior Design seem to be in a very SUV mood considering the fact that they have released yet another program for an old-ish titan. Nor really that old actually – the Mercedes-Benz M Class W164 (the one made from 2005 to 2011). Does it look any different from yesterday's Range Rover? Well, granted that it is a Mercedes, it does but the Prior Design formula on it is basically the same.
Yes, you know it – a front bumper, side skirts a rear bumper and... mounting material. Not what we call thrilling. Okay, there's al

As promised, Toyota have unveiled the RAV4 EV. The event took place at the 26th Electric Vehicle Symposium in Los Angeles. The hopes are high as some expect it to be no less impressive than the current petrol RAV4 V6 in terms of “driving performance, dynamics and cargo capacity. That's amibtious.

Another great video with extremely fast street legal vehicles by Dragtimesinfo. In this clip you’ll see Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 LPE, Lamborghini Gallardo Twin Turbo UGR and Nissan GT-R Switzer R850.

The latest Cadillac ATS RWD sedan, gets a price tag which makes its future look good. Starting from $33,990, the 2.5-liter/30+ mpg model even comes with destination charges.

It really is simple – a front bumper, side skirts and a rear bumper. The overall kit does make the Range Rover loose its off-road appeal but since when SUV's have been for dirt roads? Today, it's all about the urban look – a sense of se

The Porsche Boxster hits the showrooms in the UK. Prices will start at £37,589 which means that it still will be the cheapest Porsche around and, because of it's new profile, it will be more accessible as well. By accessible, I mean more appealing to men as well. Let's be frank. Up until now, women have been the most common sight behind the wheel of a Boxster roadster.
Some highlights: two flat-six engines with direct injection and a recalibrated chassis. It's 35 kg lighter than the old one a
