- Comments Off on VehicleVoice #104 – The Audi R8 V12 TDI Diesel Concept
Take all that gobbledygook that comes after the word Audi (R8 V12 TDI) and replace it with WOW! That's really all you need to say about this Audi supercar concept that's street legal, faster than a speeding bullet, but quieter and more fuel efficient than your average stupid-fast sports car.

- Comments Off on Exhaust Note #5: The Death of the Truly Crummy Car
So I’ve spent all this week in the city some of us at the office like to call Detwah…that’s Detroit to all you ‘Murrican speakers out there. Looking to save a few bucks for VehicleVoice, I reserved the lowest class of automobile (Economy) knowing that rental companies usually stock only a few of them – usually resulting in a free upgrade.
Well, that didn’t happen this time. I reserved a Chevrolet Aveo, and instead of getting the usual free upgrade to something bigger and nicer, I got…wait for it…a Chevrolet Aveo. Rats!

- Comments Off on Will Ford Ditch the V8 in the Mustang?
There is a group within Ford that has petitioned to consider using the EcoBoost V-6 found in the recently introduced Lincoln MKS. The EcoBoost isn't a slouch: It's a V-6, 3.7 liter twin turbo direct injection engine that weighs less and puts out more power than the V-8 currently found in the Mustang GT. Sounds good - or does it?
