Just look at it! Red leatherette, an aluminum shifter knob, a bit of chrome and fake wood here and there, a lovely three-spoke steering wheel and two massive dials telling you what's the deal. Carlo Abarth knew how to rock.
We've seen development mules of the next small Jeep crossover/SUV parading around for months. In our minds it was the 2014 Liberty, just wearing an Alfa Romeo Giulietta body but was also a good bit taller. Through these exclusive photos we've learned two things.

Can We Just Make Europe’s Forbidden Cars Ourselves?
We have detailed very acutely how much we want cars like the Audi RS4 Avant and the VW Golf GTD to come to America. But why? Can't we make these cars here in America?
The Coolest Roads Seen From A Plane Window
Down in that wide, brown valley, 13,000 feet above sea level, begins the Chinese portion of the Karakoram Highway, the epic road connecting Pakistan with China. The two huge mountains on the horizon are 24,757-ft Muztagh Ata and 25,095-ft Kongur. What’s the coolest road you’ve spotted from a plane window?

The other day the Atlantic ran a photo piece about the remarkable DIY weaponry of the Syrian rebels, and, as always, it was impressive.

Those aren't Chris Harris's words in the headline, but they do reflect what tons of people who've driven the previous Cayman S have said about Porsche's mid-engined masterpiece.

Make Your Own Sammich
There are 14 female co-drivers on the entry list for the 100 Acre Wood rally. That's one out of every 4.5 co-drivers. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.
