The Stig Stars In Google Super Bowl Ad
It appears, at least according to this Google advertisement during the Super Bowl, that The Stig is the sixth most searched ‘who is’ category on Google’s powerful search engine. I don’t quite think most people reading this will understand how important that is for Top Gear in America. There’s no doubt in my mind after [...]

[Audio] RawAutos on Motor Trend Radio
On January 23, 2010 I was on Motor Trend Radio with Bob Long to talk about the concluded Detroit Auto Show, also called the 2010 North American International Auto Show. I spoke about the new releases from BMW, Audi, Ford, Volkswagen, Buick, Cadillac among others. You can listen to my appearance below, or you can [...]
Quick Drive: BMW ActiveHybrid X6
Back at the LA International Auto Show, I told you about taking the new ActiveHybrid 7 for a nice, but unfortunately, short drive around Los Angeles. Part of the same short test driving sessions, I had the chance to drive around ActiveHybrid X6 as well. Although, with the X6, I had a little bit more [...]
Quick Drive: BMW ActiveHybrid7
While I was out in the city of Angels for the 2009 LA Auto Show, I took a hot spin in BMW’s new ActiveHybrid 7-Series sedan.
Before I go any further, though, I must tell you…I don’t like hybrid cars very much. I’ve never been a big fan of them because of the politics, big goose [...]
2010 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona
Can’t watch the 24 Hours of Daytona live on SPEED right now? That’s okay, I’ve found a way for you to watch what’s happening live, without your wife getting mad at you for not paying attention to her.
You can go Grand-Am’s site to get the live action, or you can follow the action here: 24 [...]
Raw-CotY: 2009 RawAutos CotY Awards Survey
Well, folks, it’s that time of the year again. It’s the time when we show who shined and who didn’t in the automotive enthusiasts world. This year’s awards will be greater than any other year before it, just because there seemed to be so many great cars offered for the 2009-2010 model years. Remember that, [...]
2011 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT to Pace Daytona 500
The 2011 Mustang has gotten a lot of attention lately. As well it should. It’s a truly amazing car worthy of the sports car nickname. To commemorate the great news that Ford is dropping a new 5.0L into the Mustang GT, the people at NASCAR have found it suitable to pace the upcoming Daytona 500 [...]
The Updates: BMW 3-Series LCI
With information about the updated 3-Series coupe and convertible comes new upgrades. Most see this as a design refresh, but there are some very appealing things just beneath the surface. Just to highlight the exterior enhancements that are easy to see; the front, lower fascia is now presented with subtle winglets on the air-dam, but [...]

[2010 NAIAS] Regal GS Concept is Buick’s Knight in Shining White Armor
You’ve got to love Buick for even trying to bring us a show car that could dazzle and distract us from all of the other great things going on at the 2010 NAIAS. But this is one car that really grabbed my attention; it’s the return of a performance model to Buick. No longer is [...]

[2010 NAIAS] 2012 Ford Focus is a Euro-American star
Ever since the Ford Focus came out for sale in the U.S. in 2000, we all knew we had gotten the shaft. You see, for as long as we’ve had the Focus, so has the rest of Europe. But their car was modern, fun, young, filled with energy, and even thrilling. Ours was, well, lacking [...]
![[2010 NAIAS] Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is a star in a reasonably priced car](http://RawAutos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_4868-150x150.jpg)
[2010 NAIAS] Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is a star in a reasonably priced car
The Cadillac CTS-V has done so many things to show that it is not just another American muscle car with four-doors. It’s proven to be a supercar that can compete directly with the BMW’s M3 and M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and the Jaguar XFR. So it’s only suiting that Cadillac would build a coupe version [...]

[2010 NAIAS] Cadillac XTS Platinum Hybrid asks, “Mercedes-Benz who?!”
Cadillac hasn’t impressed me in recent years, whether it was with the current STS, DTS, and especially the CTS. The Escalade, of course, is a totally different vehicle entirely. In fact, I quite enjoy the way the Escalade drives and handles… Anyway!
Cadillac hasn’t exactly gone after the high-end luxury market too well in recent years, [...]

[2010 NAIAS] 2011 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT is American with German roots
The 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 is here and I couldn’t be more excited about it. When the official news of the new Mustang was released three days after Christmas, I could hear the collective of ‘Stang fans breathing more heavily at the thought of another 5-liter car being for sale.
The 5-0 Mustang last appeared [...]

[2010 NAIAS] 2011 Chevy Aveo RS is The Aveo We’ve Been Waiting For
It took Transformers for General Motors to finally realize that any car could be cool as long as a giant robot formed out of it… Even Optimus Prime is cool, and he’s a damn tractor trailer.
This is why the Chevrolet Aveo RS show car is a cool car; because there may very well be a [...]
