GM Denies ZR1 Cancellation Rumors
October 11th, 2008
It seems that rumors are something that we can’t escape. We have to sift through them and determine which ones are real, which ones could be real, and which ones are just downright outrageous. Sometimes not even we can control the rumors that fly around.

MG’s New SV-S WRC Convertible Prototype
October 6th, 2008
MG Rover has made many changed over the past few years and keeping up with them is not an easy thing for anyone to do. It all started with the MG XPower SV - a form of the Qvale Mangusta. Not long after the member of the English automotive clan - William Riley - purchased the rights to the MG X-Power name and the V8-powered supercar intended.
