Tesla Model S isn’t exactly a car that one can rightfully describe as affordable, especially for $70,000. But an article posted by a customer titled How Elon Musk Stole My Car certainly suggests a real frustrating consumer experience. Marty Puranik, CEO of cloud computing firm Atlantic.net was looking at new cars, and was mildly interested in a Model S. He didn’t feel that the car was really worth the full price, but found that Tesla offered “inventory cars” at reduced prices. An inventory car is one used by the company, for test drives, loaners, showroom cars, etc...

The location will be tomorrow in Scottsdale, Arizona on January 23.In 1966, he took a Dodge A100 van, tore it down, and rebuilt it as the futuristic Love Machine, a conveyance that seemingly had more to do with the era’s fascination with monorails and people movers than it did the lone-wolf, roaming cad’s life of the committed vanner.

Built as the fastest and the most powerful Audi ever, the all-new generation of the R8 has landed in the USA priced as much as a house. The price of entry for an R8 is now $164,150, for the base V10 coupe. That’s a pretty big jump compared to the outgoing, 2015 model, which started at $117,150 for the V8 model.

The 2017 R8 adds four miles an hour to its predecessor's 195-mph top speed.Audi might po...
The partnership is limited to manufacturing of fuel cells only; the companies will build their cars separately. The cost of developing advanced zero-emission powertrains for future vehicles is substantial, even for the world's largest carmakers. Especially in hydrogen fuel-cell research, the biggest auto companies are doubling and tripling up to share the costs.Each company will manufacture its own cars using their technology, however.Honda Motor will launch its Clarity mid-size sedan model for 2017; the first model will be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, although later versions may inclu...
The all-new Volvo S90 has made its appearance at the 2016 Detroit Motor Show. The Swedes are coming off of a strong year that bested even their expectations. And there's been enough praise heaped onto the new XC90 SUV to extend to their new luxury sedan – and distract eyes from Mercedes-Benz and the 2017 E-Class. With the S90, Gothenburg hopes to take a bigger slice of the pie overflowing with competitors like the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes E-Class – not to mention the Jaguar XF, Maserati Ghibli, Acura RLX, Infiniti Q70, Lexus GS, Cadillac CTS, and Lincoln MKZ.
