Don't ask me about the name. I really don't care.

It may be trickier for those in the US to get the kit from the German tuner, but those who are determined enough should be able to find a way.

The Right Compact Car for a Sport Model

There will be interior upgrades as well which will include sportier seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel and faux carbon fiber and red trim pieces.  You can choose either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission to pair up with the engine to have the driving experience you want to enjoy.  There is even an Extreme Package that will be offered which adds 18-inch wheels with special tires, a rear spoiler and other performance parts along with a few more wheel choices.  It appears Hyundai has gone all out to embrace the sport of this new Elantra Sport which will show up in November at the SEMA show in Las Vegas for us to admire and review.

Test Drive: 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

Great looks; a nearly premium, full-featured interior; smooth ride and handling; lots of storage; and safety systems and media technology make the new Pacifica a worthy family carrier. Ease of access and egress and light-touch controls take the van into a new realm of transport. It’s definitely a surprise inside, which should please adults and children alike.

Audi RS6 Sedan Build

As you might be aware, Audi never produced a C7-generation RS6 in Sedan/Saloon form, but the owner of this car decided that if Audi weren’t going to build one, then he would!

The car you see here started life as an Audi A6 3.0 V6 TFSI. So it’s basically the next fastest A6 after the S6. The Audi RS6 looks very wide and that’s because it has wider front and rear arches. This guy has basically cut up his A6 to put the RS6 arches on the car. You’ll also notice that his A6 was a prefacelift one, so he’s gone and changed the rear lights and headlights as well.

The interior has also been stripped out and put together again, but with OEM RS6 parts like the carbon inlays and gear shifter. He’s also decked the dashboard and pretty much everything you can touch with Alcantara.

Still not happy with this (or maybe he realised he’s in too deep now), the owner has now purchased the 4.0TT V8 and tranny from the RS6 and he will be doing an engine swap!

I don’t know how much he’s spent on this project, and it’s still ongoing, but we’re going to guess it’s a hell of a lot money. Stunning piece of work though. The last pictures were only posted very recently! Go follow his build here.

The 2017 Honda Ridgeline's Fuel Economy Isn’t Much Better Than A Full-Size Truck’s

If a front-drive unibody Honda can’t put down impressive fuel economy figures, I’m just not sure this segment of trucks is going to catch on.

2016 Jeep Cherokee is upping the ante

The Cherokee provides a choice of three innovative 4x4 systems for best-in-class 4x4 capability in all weather conditions. The mid-size Jeep SUV features rear-axle disconnect, resulting in reduced energy loss when 4x4 capability isn’t needed, improving fuel efficiency.

Apple hired an engineering star who has designed cars at Aston Martin and Tesla

The man who designed at James Bond's favored car company is reportedly heading to Apple.

Apple wasn’t immediately available to confirm Porritt’s hiring—or that the company is indeed working on a car—but if it isn’t, it may end up with some very automotive-looking laptops and phones.

The Takata Corp. air bag recall has become so massive that vehicle owners might wait months for repairs, which leaves many struggling to figure out how to get around in the meantime.

"It's incumbent upon Honda to fix the problem and make sure that my son has a safe car to drive.”
