While other performance-oriented brands are figuring out ways to charge car buyers more and more (often more money for fewer features), Chrysler's SRT brand has the budget-minded enthusiast covered.

There's a new show coming this April to SyFy called Defiance that puts vaguely elven aliens and humans, together, on the same battle scarred earth. It's sort of like post-war Vienna without all the zither music and black-market trade in penicillin.

Are you so in love with the supercar-slaying Nissan Juke R? Well then... prepare to be let down, because Nissan did not tell us they're building more of them at the Chicago Auto Show. Instead, they're bringing us the NISMO Juke.

This? This is no ordinary Camaro, hombre. Not by a long shot. This is a supercharged L99-powered, 400-hp ZL1-badged widebody Camaro that will soon feature prominently in a DreamWorks 3D comedy called Turbo. What's so confusing?
