Back in the 90’s, Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution high-performance program was one of the most popular things to come out of Japan. Those days sure were fun for Mitsubishi.

If you have to ask whether the new Aston Martin Virage is really worth roughly 30 grand more than the near identical-looking DB9, here's a tip: Don't ask Ulrich Bez. The mercurial German, who's headed Aston since 2000, has little time for those who don't appreciate the subtle nuances that define the individual models in the company's 14-car lineup, all of which, apart from the stubby Toyota iQ-based Cygnet, look remarkably similar. "Our cars look like Aston Martins," he says defiantly. "If you don't like the look, buy another car."

Ahead of its public debut at the Bangkok Auto Show, General Motors has taken the wraps off of the preview version of its next-generation midsize pickup, which has been (not so) imaginatively dubbed the Chevrolet Colorado Show Truck.

Toyota Camry. Honda Accord. Nissan Altima. This Japanese trio has dominated North America's midsize sedan game for awhile now. But recently, the competitive set has grown not only in size to include the Fusion, Sonata, Malibu, Legacy, Jetta, etc., but in overall amenities. Long gone are the days when automakers could entice customers with power windows, automatic door locks, and that oh-so-convenient cruise control.

The new Audi A6, going on sale in Germany in early 2011, has no need to adopt the fashionable coupe-like look, because that job is done by the A7. Instead it emphasizes its role as a traditional executive sedan, and its silhouette is little changed from the outgoing car -- or indeed, the one before that. But the detailing is far richer.

It's hard to improve on greatness, so when Stasis Engineering offered us a short drive of its modified Audi R8 Spyder, we were excited and skittish. The last time we debarked from a stock R8 5.2 FSI, we concluded that Audi had improved upon near-perfection. Could Stasis improve the R8 even further, or would its upgrades actually set the car back? We intend to find out.

In the year since BMW Motorsport launched the 2010 Z4 GT3, the race car has achieved great success in the GT3 class series, including a ground-breaking win at the Dubai 24 Hours earlier this year. But despite the car’s competitiveness, BMW knew that it still needed a few improvements. So, the Bavarian automaker let loose and built the new and improved 2011 Z4 GT3 racer.

Now that the 2012 Ford Focus is out in showrooms for the U.S. masses, it's time to focus (pun intended) on what enthusiasts are excited about -- the upcoming ST model. These latest spy shots snapped on the Nurburgring and in cold weather are evidence that Ford is hard at work fine tuning its new hot hatch.
First up is the silver-colored tester caught during a 'Ring attack. Because the sheetmetal and body kit appear to be mostly stock and far from the stylish and aggressive treatment on the Tangerine Scream-colored concept model, this ST is uncamouflaged. A thin metal pipe for the center exhaust and the gray, smoked-out rims are the only ST giveaways.

Why We Bought It
The question we hoped to solve by including the 2005 Volkswagen Jetta in our long-term fleet was this: Did that special quality in previous generations of Jettas carry forward into this redesigned, larger and very different model? Another way to put it was: Is there still German-car feel in this German car?
