The 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
Some of us lie awake at night, tossing and turning, grappling with questions that could potentially affect the cosmic balance of the universe. In the absence of light, does time slows down, or even stop, in a black hole? Do fish drink water? How do blind people dream? How can Ford top the perpetually best selling F150 series?
Luckily, SOME questions do have answers.
Ford’s in house team of tune-up experts, the Special Vehicle Team (SVT) came up with the answer (for the last question, that is. Don’t hold your breath for the first one –...
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport
When Pierre Veyron, together with team principal and co-driver Jean-Pierre Wimille, won the 1939 24 Heures du Mans, no one realized then just what far-reaching implications it had.

The Aptera is vying in a crowded field against some very well-financed competition to become among the first automakers to roll out a completely electric car. The 2e, which was due out at the end of 2009 but pushed back into sometime in 2010, can be charged by plugging in to a standard household...
Volkswagen Eos
The 2010 Volkswagen Eos Convertible is a thing of beauty. Eos is the name of the car, as in "Ee-Ohs", not an acronym "E.O.S.". It's a tiny car, but it packs a lot of features.
The Eos is a hard top convertible with a sunroof. Putting the top up and down is a show in itself. One touch of a button activates a flurry of activity reminiscent of a certain type of transforming robot from a certain recent hit movie (or two). The top slides and opens, compartments appear and disappear, and the top slides smoothly into...
