It’s Friday afternoon, our appointment with the Chevrolet Camaro concept car is at hand, and the gray clouds hanging over Milford, Michigan, don’t look like they’re going to disappear anytime soon. As we head east on I-96 toward the Milford exit, a few splatters of rain hit our windshield. General Motors operatives have already warned us that if the ground is wet, the handbuilt prototype won’t be allowed out onto the proving ground’s Black Lake or the south loop—the most action we’ll be granted is to roll the car around under a porte cochere attached to a testing garage.

Why it's one of our most significant: Each day, Jaguar is costing parent company Ford some obscene amount of money to operate. The XJ is modern in every aspect but appearance, and the front of the XK may or may not look like a Taurus. Early spy photos are showing a more modern and unquestionably unique front end for the production XF, and the rest of the car will follow suit. But can it outperform the BMW 5-series, the Audi A6, and the Mercedes E-class? Read our full story below.

Jaguar began life as Swallow Sidecars in 1922. Blackpool , a rather dreary town on the Western seaboard of industrial Lancashire; seemingly an unpromising launch platform for the car that became as inspirational in Hollywood or Hong Kong as it was in Buenos Aires or Beijing. In the years following the end of the First World War, the young William Lyons appeared to be a pushy young motorcycle sidecar manufacturer with delusions of grandeur. Ambitious to move up to cars, in 1927 he used his Swallow Sidecars workers' coachbuilding skills to make bodies for Austin Sevens, giving them a status...

Introducing the breathtaking XK and XKR (available in early 2007), Jaguar´s latest, most muscled athletes. Shouldered and powerful as always, but sleeker now with aluminum bodyshell drawn taut across the chassis, these dramatic sports machines are purposefully trimmed and tuned for heart-pounding performance. Exhaust song, power, control and comfort await notice with bold assurance. Inside or out, coupe or convertible, there´s not an ounce of excess. But there is anticipation...because on the road, the XK commands.

After 53 years of production yielding well over 1 million Corvettes, reviews of this automotive icon tend to sing a familiar tune. This is America's star-spangled sports car. Corvettes have always had a molded-plastic body atop a steel frame. The engine is in the front, the rear wheels do the driving and there are seats for two occupants.

The new generation Focus will continue a family tradition that has seen the model provide the backbone of Ford's motorsport activity since 1999. With the launch of the new generation Ford Focus well underway, Ford believes it provides a strong new base for future rally activities. Ford will showcase an all-new Ford Focus RS WRC in World Championship Rallying from 2006, using the best part of 2005 to develop and thoroughly test the new model. "Ford's long-term commitment to the WRC will provide a great boost to the sport," said Jost Capito, director of the Ford Team RS.

Quadricycle (also spelled quadracycle or quadrocycle) is a four-wheeled vehicle. The most common layout is when the wheels are placed at the angles of a rectangle. The alternative layout is when wheels are placed at the angles of a rhombus (or, more generally, at the angles of a geometric kite). The rhombus layout is not very convenient, because such vehicles are less stable and leave three tracks instead of two. Quadricycles were one solution to the problem of low-speed stability in early cycles, typically multi-seat models (as seen in the picture). Both tandem (in line, as depicted) and...
