Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany - Wallpaper GalleryStuttgart's newest gem isn't a car-it's an ultramodern museum.
Rising from the hallowed ground of the company's Stuttgart headquarters, the new $130 million Porsche Museum deploys an imposing 60,000 square feet of stark white display space, enough to exhibit about eighty cars. The structure, expected to attract more than 200,000 visitors annually, employs more oddly angled struts than a Le Mans racer.

First Drive: 2010 Jaguar XKRJaguar increases the power without increasing fuel consumption in its sumptuous convertible.
What's better than an all-new, supercharged V-8 engine that makes 90 hp and 48 lb-ft of torque more than its predecessor while improving the Jaguar XKR's 0-to-60-mph time from a claimed 4.9 to 4.6 seconds? An all-new, supercharged V-8 that does all that without a concomitant increase in fuel consumption, that's what.

2009 BMW 5-Series and 3-Series Gran Turismo - Gran Turismo x 2First comes the BMW 5-series Gran Turismo, with a 3-series Gran Turismo to follow in 2012.
The new BMW 5-series Gran Turismo is (almost) here - displayed as a thinly veiled concept in Geneva. The nearly identical production version is scheduled to make its debut in Frankfurt this fall; it should be in showrooms before the end of the year. But that's not the entire BMW GT story. The company isn't talking about it yet, but we'll see...

Chrysler and Fiat Merger - Noise Vibration & HarshnessFinance it Again, Tony: Might a merger of Chrysler and Fiat be good news?
It seems only yesterday they were the masters of the universe. Yet just yesterday, literally, my friends at Citibank fired an e-mail my way, inviting me to take advantage of exclusive "access to great concerts, dining, sporting events, and more." Translation: the bank won't loan money to me or anyone else, by rights it is bankrupt, yet when it's not busy jacking up...

By Design: 2009 Nissan 370ZNot only is it a great deal better looking - tauter, tighter, and more purposeful - than the 350Z, it is also smaller, quicker, and more economical.
Many of us grew up believing the American cultural imperative that "bigger is better." Even in the age of nanotechnology, as physical dimensions of electronic devices shrink, we are exhorted to be impressed because quantitative descriptives are bigger, thus better. Megapixels? Bigger is better. My digital cameras range...

2009 Cadillac Escalade 4WD HybridWhen it comes to its traditional strengths - power, utility, and in-your-face luxury - the Escalade is better than ever.
I'm amazed at what seems to be a considerable amount of variance between the two-mode hybrid system in this Escalade, and the one fitted to the GMC Sierra Hybrid that was also in our press car fleet. The GMC seemed quite apt to slip into EV mode, while the Caddy was all too eager to fire up its 6.0-liter V-8.
