Breakups are bad news, as we all know. Who here hasn't spent a week binging on raw cookie dough and episodes of The Good Wife after getting dumped? Or gotten behind the wheel of his cab, naked and drunk, and crashed into 17 cars? More »

The debate over whether New York or Shanghai was the more important auto show is a typical corporate media conspiracy designed to make you choose between two equally irrelevant sides and ignore the real answer. In this case the real answer is the colorful Moscow Tuning Show. More »

Let's be honest. We don't really care when a Lamborghini Gallardo or Ferrari 612 catches on fire, but this? This is different. Destroying a Bugatti EB110 should be punishable by death. Unfortunately, it's pretty safe. More »

We've showed you first shots of the Mazda Kazamai Concept, but here's more of the "Swirling Crosswinds" vehicle Mazda is showing off at this year's Moscow Auto Salon. Mazda revealed the concept crossover to give the Russian market — one of the few in which SUVs are rapidly growing in popularity — a look at where the company plans to take its next-generation crossovers. The Kazamai blends Mazda's Nagare design language in a small sport-ute just a tad bit larger than today's Mazda3, making it sort of the kissin' SUV cousin to the Furai concept we saw in Detroit. Judge for yourself, and check out the full design report from Mazda after the jump. More »

Mazda is showing off their latest Nagare design ("flow" in Japanese) to the Russians today, unveiling an unnamed concept crossover vehicle and describing it as a "sporty, compact crossover SUV designed especially for the Russian market." We're not sure exactly what that means, but a smoky two-stroke under a hood made entirely of iron would be appropriate. Mazda's Nagare designs are said to represent natural flow and first appeared at the 2006 LA Auto Show. Full release and gallery after the jump. More »

Actually, thieves probably steal Bentleys from people all over the world, but not like they do in the Land of Lenin. Since this summer, Slavic carjackers have, uh, well, jacked seven Bentleys in and around Moscow, including one belonging to Vladimir Zhmudsky, who won a gold medal for water polo at the 1972 Olympics. The latest theft was from the no doubt deserving arms of an unemployed 25-year-old woman who valued her beloved sky-blue Continental at over $340,000. That's import tariffs for you. Since 2003, over 1,300 Bentleys have been purchased by oil-rich Muscovite oligarchs. And while one of the pilfered big Brits have been recovered, we're still getting a heavy Big Lebowski vibe of police inaction. "I'll just check with the boys down at the crime lab, they've got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts! Leads, ha!" [townhall.com] More »

According to Moscow Mayor Mayor Mayor Yuri "Not Gagarin" Luzhkov, motorists willing to navigate the city in diminutive, efficient vehicles should receive a bonus. What's more, he's willing to back it up with a fistful of dollars, suggesting "We should establish incentives for citizens who opt for small-size cars with electric and hybrid engines. I am ready to grant a bonus of 1,000 U.S. dollars to each of them." The Man With No Name, Ennio Morricone, Salman Rushdie and Lavrenti Beria were all unavailable for comment on the program. – Davey G. Johnson More »

Flush with the joy of discovering M&W Powersports, we decided to have more fun with Google searches. We tried a few things, prefacing them with "cars" including "Jesus and Tequila," which kicked off a short litany of song titles from the Minutemen's Double Nickles on the Dime. Finally we hit pay dirt with this bit from the Real Russia Project that describes a night drive through Moscow wherin our narrator Yuri ends up thrilledM with the lack of traffic. The keyword string? "Three Car Jam." Now take five, D. – Davey G. Johnson More »
