BMW calls it the PAS which stands for Progressive Activity Sedan; we prefer to call it a 5-Series fastback with a tad of SUV and MPV elements. Anyway you call it, the PAS is yet another attempt from BMW to broaden its line-up with an all-new model following the X6 and it will go into production in 2009 or 2010. The PAS will be based on the underpinings of the 5-Series, so we should expect more or
A Turkish woman managed to make it out alive and unhurt (at least physically) after being hit and trapped underneath the front end of a car. No thanks to the icy road, the driver lost control of the vehicle dragging the unfortunate woman several feet downhill before coming to a stop.

Even if you’ve never bought a car from eBay Motors, most probably you will have visited the site searching for one.

Nissan might have not given the all-new GT-R for a full test drive, but the guys at Edmund’s Inside Line travelled all the way to Japan to test a privately owned Nissan GT-R on an airstrip outside Tokyo. The car, owned by Japanese journalist Jun Nishikawa was a Japanese-spec example with 1,500 km or 932 miles on its odo. But enough with
The first creation of BMW’s “M” division was the iconic M1 model which was built in just 451 examples between the years of 1978 and 1981. The first and only mid-engined BMW was developed in association with Lamborghini and designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The M1 employed a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter straight 6 engine delivering 277 PS and it could reach a top speed of 260 km/h or 162 mph. When
And to think that Mercedes-Benz plans on unveiling a pre-production prototype (see here) of the all-new GLK compact SUV at the Detroit Show in January… Like, what for; this new spy video that was taken during the filming of a scene from the “Sex and the City: The Movie” practically unveils the production version in all its glory! -See the video right after the jump

This guy must certainly have a death wish. We can think of at least 20 things that could go wrong with this stupid stunt that was performed on a public road. And if he wants to die, it’s his choice, but what about the oncoming drivers; why should he endanger them?
While we wouldn’t mind having the keys of any of these V8-powered high-performance saloons tested by Brit car magazine, EVO, we’re curious to see how the supercharged version of the HSV Clubsport R8 (called Vauxhall VXR8 in the UK) holds up against the BMW M3 and the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Since we don’t want to spoil any surprises, we’ll let you find out for yourselves by seeing the video.
