Cute only goes so far. Fast and cute goes a lot farther (comments posted about girls you knew in college will be deleted upon reciept).But fast and cute will cost you money, just like that girl in college (I'm invoking one-time editor/founder privilege). This is the story of the Mini John Cooper Works Convertible. Its base price is $10,000 and change more than a base Mini Cooper Convertible, but that ten grand buys you the difference between 118 horsepower and 208....between a top speed of 123 and...

My favorite hot-hatch of all time. Honda Civic EG6, I'm a proud owner of one, I hope to make it as beautiful as this hot monster on Mugen MF8 rims.EG6 powered by B18a1 engine with GSR head and boosted with Garret T3 turbo.Car produces 450 horsepower and 335 lb/ft of torque. Quarter mile time: 12.2seconds at 123MphCheck it out he...

A four-cylinder Highlander would have been considered a great leap backwards just a couple of years ago. Now it looks like an inspired move.187 horsepower turns out to be adequate to move this mid-size SUV, and the resulting gas mileage (20 city/27 highway) is nearly identical to the much smaller 6-cylinder RAV4, which gets 21 city/27 highway.Not only that, but the 4-cylinder Highlander I drove for a week was optioned sensibly (upgraded audio system, cold weather package, convenience package, manual...

Definitely somewhere in top of "want" list. AMS EVO X. With 438 horsepower and 453 lb-ft of torque, race track isn't a problem for this monster. Photos speak tor themselves, Advan RG2 rims, dopest Mitsubishi EVO 10.Want it...

I have mixed feelings on this one....part of me thinking that the driver should determine when to brake (having assessed what's around him) and the other part acknowledging the intent and likely reduction of car-pedestrian accidents.Your thoughts and comments are welcome.Volvo S60 Pedestrian Detection (1:...

Aunque podría incluírse perfectamente en nuestra sección de los domingos Dolopasión, no he querido dejar pasar esta oportunidad de haceros sufrir un poco a mitad de semana con esta barbaridad que hoy ha saltado a la actualidad en la red como una chispa en una hoguera.Se trata de un Ferrari 360 Módena con todo tipo de accesorios de Hello Kitty, la gatita que ya está presente hasta en las latas de aceite de los coches. El Ferrari 360 Módena, además de no ser del color “rojo Ferrari” que tan bien le...

Companies don't have ideas. The people that work for them do. People retire, die and are replaced by other people with other ideas.Nothing lasts forever.Nobody's perfect.No, TireKicker has not become the official journal of the obvious. I'm reminding myself how we can go from a 25-year string of absolutely brilliant products (virutally everything Honda built from the 1976 Accord onward) to the Honda Crosstour.                        I'll...

Yesterday afternoon, Hiromu Naruse (67) was killed in traffic accident. He was Toyota's test driver for more than 40 years, he was Toyota's chief test driver of LF-A and had a big influence in making of Toyota Lexus LF-A supercar along with many more Toyota sport cars.Hiromu crashed his Lexus LF-A Nürburgring edition (prototype car worth 1,5million euros) near Nürburgring on German highway. Big loss for Toyota Motor Company and to the world. Another legend left this world... Hiromu,...

A few weeks ago, the city where I was born and lived until age 9, Los Angeles,  made a great big hairy deal about boycotting the state where I live now, Arizona, over its passage of SB1070, which requires police to enforce laws on illegal immigration identical to those in both California and federal law.  The boycott meant the city of L.A. refused to do business with Arizona, its cities and businesses based in the state.But that's not important now. At least when it comes to the city's...

Blue was, for most of my life, my favorite color. Three of my cars were blue. But there is something about Ford's Grabber Blue that really doesn't work for me. It's hard to explain...it photographs better (see above) than it looks in person. At least to me. And, apparently, to several other people who've mentioned "that hideous, cheap shade of blue they're painting Mustangs in now" to me.That's probably sacrilege in Dearborn, where Ford is headquartered. In fact, I understand what it is they like...

This may be the first car I've driven where the name, if put on a badge, would be longer than the car itself. It is the heaviest and most expensive Miata I've driven in 13 years of professional TireKicking, but I can't say I love it any less (for just how much that is, see last year's review here). And that's because Mazda is now doing the kind of magic that used to be solely the province of Honda.Retractable hardtops, while offering security from knife-wielding thieves and a lower level...

My friend bought 98' Honda Prelude BB8 with H22A5 engine yesterday. First time in my life, I'm thrilled with the looks of it.
