Scoop: Transformers 4 Robots Undisguised, Including New Camaro Bumblebee [33 Photos]


The best thing about the Transformers movie series is catching a glimpse of the new vehicle characters before the film hits theaters. According to some, the worst thing is actually watching the movies, though, opinions may vary on this one….

Back to the pre-viewing part of this story, while cruising around GM's Proving Grounds center in Michigan in search for prototypes, our spies were surprised to see a filming crew for the upcoming Transformers 4 blockbuster, and together, an assortment of new Autobots, including the new Bumblebee dressed in a 2014 Camaro Coupe suite.

Besides the trademark yellow and black color scheme, the new Bumblebee model sports a slightly different front end than the facelifted 2014 Camaro with an even tighter grille and headlamp assembly plus a restyled bumper, along with a fixed rear spoiler, a grounds kit and a vented rear bumper.

Buick Reattas Assemble Again in California for 2nd Annual Rally


The funny thing with cars that you may have dismissed for any number of reasons when they were parked spanking-new in dealership lots, and which could range from their design to their engineering and cost, is that there's always the possibility you may find them interesting enough to collect after few decades have passed by.

The even bigger irony is that sometimes, it's precisely those quirky characteristics and features, which would have once deterred you to buy one new, that make you want one as a used collectors model…

New 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor Combines 365HP V6 Turbo with Short-Wheelbase Body


Ford is reviving a name from the past for its all-new 2014 F-150 Tremor that introduces the Taurus SHO's more powerful 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 into the pickup truck's range. The "Tremor" moniker was used in a 1998 Explorer Concept SUV fitted with a V8 engine and made its appearance on a special edition version of the Ranger truck in the 2000s.

On the F-150, Tremor translates into a sportier edition of Ford's highly-popular truck series highlighted by the use of the 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 with 365 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 lb.-ft. (567Nm) of torque at 2,500 rpm, on the regular two-door cab model with the short-wheelbase.

Citroen Releases Details and First Official Images for the Grand C4 Picasso [42 Photos + Video]


In case you are unfamiliar with Citroen’s model designations, if you add ‘Grand’ in front of ‘C4 Picasso’, that means you get a bigger body, which can accommodate three rows of seats, thus being able to seat seven.

Now there’s a new one, which has the same basic concept as its predecessor, yet wrapping it all up in a quirkily-styled package, with a much cleaner and simpler-looking interior than before, and the same basic range of proven engines.

Honda Launches New Crider in China Filling the Gap Between Civic and Accord [63 Photos]


The final production version of Honda's all-new Crider middle class sedan landed in the brand's Chinese showrooms today. Designed exclusively for customers in China, Honda's press blurb states that the Crider targets "those who were born in 1980s, known for the energetic pursuit of their dreams".

Whereas last year's Crider Concept not only captured our attention but also managed to impress us if you exclude the overly detailed front end, the real-life model is simply put, a mundane exercise on the Civic formula with a rather awkward looking profile – at least with these wheels and nose.

2014 BMW X5 Starts at $53,725 for RWD Version, xDrive Model Close to $8k More Expensive


The good news for customers interested in the new generation of the X5 is that BMW has announced pricing and will soon begin to accept orders with first deliveries scheduled for the final quarter of the year. The bad news is that the fresh styling and new features come with a price hike.

If you want the 300hp turbo'd straight-six to turn all four wheels, you will have to opt for the X5 xDrive35i that starts at $56,025, which represents a hefty $7,600 increase over the outgoing 2013 X5 xDrive35i ($48,425).

Car Key Now a Posh, Smart Accessory for Display On the Bistro Table – Show Us Yours


It is often considered rude or impolite in some cultures for one or more of several people sitting around a table to have their car keys out on the actual table surface itself, as if to show everybody what nice a choice of vehicle they made.

This makes feel some insecure types feel inadequate, but not all find it offensive, though, and one does get to see a diverse selection of ignition keys, cards (some Renault models) or Emotional Control Units (for newer Aston Martins) in this way.
