The Chinese automaker BYD may be trying to send Toyota a message. The new small car from China is almost an exact copy of Toyota’s Aygo. BYD usually names its cars with an “F” and then a number designation, so its smallest car is aptly named “F0”.
There will be premium models of the car, so now you can F0 in Luxury or F0 with VIPs. Because it is one of the cheapest cars in China, if it was available in the U.S., you could F0 for under $4,500.
Here’s something to break up the middle of your day. One of the best series of local cars commercials comes from a Ford and Chevrolet dealership outside of Portland, Oregon. Sit back and enjoy the latest car innovation, the trunk monkey!
The commercials have been around for a while, but they are always fun.
We can’t explain what happened in here, although the images kind of speak for themselves. We can tell you it occurred at the corner of Skyline and Foothill roads in Ventura, CA, and that no one was hurt.
Anyone has details about it? We are kind of curious to know how those two cars ended up like this!
A new study now confirms what every newly divorced, middle-aged balding guy already knows: women are turned on by exotic cars. British insurer Hiscox (insert your joke here) commissioned a study of 40 men and women. All were subjected to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari, and then were measured for the amount of testosterone in their saliva. The results showed that the women had elevated levels after hearing each of the exotics (i.e. the Italian accents made them feel all sexy-like.)
On the other hand, for all of you think a great personality can compensate for a more economical ride, you better be pretty funny. When the group listened to the sounds of a Volkswagen Polo, everyone’s testosterone level went down.
So if your Friday nights are kinda lonely, skip the Hair Club for Men and make your way to the nearest Italian car dealership.
From the ‘disgusting displays of wealth’ files comes the new sport of kings: chauffer driven drifting. Watch as this Maybach 62 goes sideways while not a drop of champagne is spilled.
Times are definitely changing. This is something no one expected to see in the U.S. last year, but here it is now. Now the only problem is trying to convince the officer who’s trying to ticket you that your Chevy Suburban Hybrid qualifies for the space.
Although it is a little late for April Fools, there is no better way to celebrate Labor Day than with a car that will require a lot of labor. Enter the Paykan.
The Hillman Hunter was a good car for Britain, but it had run its course by 1976 — or at least in Europe. Chrysler, who owned Hillman at the time, sold the body pressings to the Iranian government, and the Paykan 1600 was born. Essentially an old Hillman with a Peugeot 504 engine, the Paykan soldiered on for almost thirty more years.
This 1998 car on eBay means you can get in on one of the latest examples of the car that put Iran on the road (more likely on the side of the road if you believe the quality reports.) Classy.
Everyone has his or her hobbies. Some people can take them to excess. In the case of these two VW owners I can say that I’m happy they did. While admittedly ludicrous to build a slot car track like this, credit must be given to the detail behind the work. It’s more creative then all the show cars with a plethora of TV’s in the back and a hell of a lot more entertaining.
