Ronn Motors is confident that the sexy Scorpion will top 200 mph. The chrome-moly... Read Full Story

After filling up a gas guzzling Chevrolet rental car the other day, I thought again how we were impacting our carbon footprint and how we could do a lot better by using hybrid rental vehicles.

The results have been released for the Good 12 -winning fortwo, and it's a bit confusing. The IIHS gave the smart a 'Good' rating for front and side-impact crashes. Ratings don't get any better than 'Good' for these tests. Unfortunately, the rear-impact whiplash protection of the smart was rated at... Read Full Story
