I have a hard time believing any Super Bowl commercial will top this.

Inspired by a story on Jalopnik, Mike Kruzensiski explored the trends in hybrid cars and truck sales in the U.S. The results aren’t pretty, but at least they’re trending in the right direction.

Honda’s making a different kind of car commercial. It’s so ironic.

I get giddy whenever I hear them say “They call him the Stig!”

I don’t know what it is, but the Nexus One looks just plain sexy. And it sounds pretty sweet too. I’m pumped that when it’s time for me to get a new phone I’ll probably have the choice between an iPhone and the Nexus One, both on Verizon.

But will people stop referring to every major smartphone announcement as either an iPhone killer or not an iPhone killer? It’s a little played out. You never hear anyone talking about every new Mercedes or BMW coupe as the Bugatti Veyron killer.

Volkswagen’s Paris-Dakar Rally Touareg is the sweetest SUV on off the road.

One of the rarest whips in the world, a $2 million Bugatti Veyron, was driven into a marsh in Texas. The video is painful to watch.

The Lego house built by James May of Top Gear fame is meeting it’s demise. Apparently he couldn’t find anyone to take the house off of his hands so down it comes.

As a little kid I dreamed of living in a house built with Lego. Finally, someone did what I’d wanted to do for a long time, and built a Lego house for themselves. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, it turns out that this masterpiece belongs to none other than James May of the BBC’s Top Gear.

The lads of the British automotive show Top Gear have done it again. What could be more entertaining than test driving a trio of state-of-the-art sports cars? Why test driving a trio of absolutely rubbish 30-year-old beaters of course. From their 2007 series, watching the gents put these jalopies through their paces never gets old.
