Cozzi-Jaguar Special

2007 Can-Am Spyder

2007 Mercedes-Benz Ocean Drive Concept
The Mercedes-Benz Ocean Drive is nothing more than a long-wheelbase, V-12-powered S-class. Actually, it's something less than that, because its roof has been sliced off, but that makes all the difference. When was the last time you drove a four-door convertibl more |

2007 Mazda MX-5 Retractable Hard Top
The e-mail popped into my inbox one morning, buried among the intraoffice notes and the poorly worded Nigerian ads for male enhancement. There wasn't much to it--no real introduction and no greeting, just a simple question. Is there anywhere in the United Stat more |

2008 Audi TT roadster
Replacing an automotive icon with a model that's equally visionary, charismatic, and unmistakable is surely one of the toughest tricks for any car designer. Case in point: the Audi TT, whose original form was designed by Freeman Thomas and J Mays. At the Los A more |

2007 Ariel Atom
You don't so much drive an Ariel Atom as shotgun it through the landscape. Wind goes up your shorts. Bugs go down your gullet. Gravel, freed from the bonds of gravity by the Atom's passing vacuum, wanders up into your underpants. Faced with the whole of creat more |

2007 Saturn Sky Red Line
As Chevy's iconic Corvette has passed through each successive generation, it has transformed into a bona fide supercar, a ride that can step into the ring with the world's best and leave un-bowed. But that transformation has come at a price--literally. A base more |

2007 Porsche Boxster S
You know what I'd do if I owned a 2007 Porsche Boxster? I'd find someone with a 2006 Boxster, and I'd pull up next to him and say, "Excuse me, but what's it like to have only 240 horsepower? I have 245 horsepower, see, so I'm curious how the other half lives." more |
