There's a dealership along Woodward, halfway between 14 and 15 Mile roads, it's called Auto Europe and among their currently-offered nameplates: Noble, Austin Healey, Mini, Jaguar, Porsche, Lotus and Ferrari. It's like a candy store for car nuts. More »

KAAAAAAAAHN! The Project Kahn Land Rover Freelander RS200 is a fairly cool-looking styling and interior upgrade over the stock Freelander, but we can't get past those Mazdaspeed6-esque wheels and Ricardo Montalban-sounding name. Yeah, it's a slow news day. More »

Wrestletainer Dave Batista is clearing his garage! He's put an okay 2008 Land Rover and a very nice Bentley up on eBay, but there's only a day or so left. Loser gets hit with a folding chair! More »

According to AutoCar sources, the three-door Land Rover LRX concept is heading to production. Will it make it to production as a three-door or five-door model? Also, what of hybrid rumors? More »

Last week saw a heated debate over the entry of the 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 Jonckheere Coupe. Was it beautiful or a mockery, art or excess, folly or fantastic? According to the votes, 80.3% of you believed it a worthy entrant, so those questions have an answer. Now we switch gears entirely, from a tribute to form to a celebration of unquestionable function. In modern history, Land Rover has been nothing if not there to see things happen. It is said that a Land Rover is the only vehicle some people will ever see. Beginning in post-war Britain in 1946, an unbroken chain of workhorse machines has performed the duties set forth by their owners, never rusting, rarely failing. That progression has left us with a paragon of uncomplaining, uncomplicated virtue: the Land Rover Defender. More »

Broad-daylight testing of the next Toyota Land Cruiser in sundry, sultry sultinates continues, apparently unabated by impromptu drifting contests or sandal surfing. New images showed up today courtesy of Carscoop. They're showing an undisguised Cruiser baking in the heat and sucking up the searing sands of Dubai. Toyota's hot-weather testing of undisguised Cruisers has gone on in the mideast for at least a year, so by now it should be able to take some dry heat, powered rock and extreme hoonage. We'll likely see the finished product at the Tokyo show in October. – Mike Spinelli More »

According to those who say they know, the Nissan GT-R won't be the only big debut at the Tokyo Auto Show later this year. Chiba City will also likely host the unveiling of Toyota's next Land Cruiser, and its even richer relation, the Lexus LX470. Once described as "that fat kid at the dance who will kick your ass if you make fun of him" (I think it was Car & Driver sometime in the 1990s), the Cruiser will get a slightly squarer comportment. It'll also get a luxe new interior and potentially Toyota's new 5.7-liter i-Force V8 producing 381 horsepower. Look for it to hit dealerships by mid-2008. – Mike Spinelli More »

If these new spy shots taken in southern Europe indicate what's to come, a leaner, vaguely meaner Toyota Land Cruiser appears to be in the offing. Get past the acreage of gaffer's tape and tar paper, and you can see the extent of the ToMoCo flagship SUV's facelift. Spies say the Cruiser will be entrely new with a more rounded comport, it'll get a range of engines from V6s to V8s (likely including Toyota's new 5.7-liter eight) and diesels (not for US yet) and be even more luxurious than the current bruiser. One question remains. Will it still be tough enough for the UN, Interpol and sundry warlords, drug kingpins and arms dealers? Now there's a focus group we wouldn't mind an invite to. More »

Is this the new Toyota Land Cruiser? An Autoblog reader sent in these photos of what may be the next Cruisey, being tested in the Sultanate of Oman. It makes sense, considering that, for hot-weather testing, the Middle East is Asian and European carmakers' version of our own Death Valley. If it is, the new model looks a bit sharper and more distinctive than the "fat boy at the dance" model that's still at the top of Toyota's SUV range. Then again, it could be a one-off built for some sultan or other; you know how they love to stand out among shiekhs. More »
