Here's a bit of mystery for you, the sporty motormen at the M3Post forum captured an image of what appears to be an E93 M3 convertible. But this ain't your mama's as-of-yet-unreleased M3. This one comes complete with 21" AC Schnitzer wheels and the license plate is from Heinsberg and the shots are from Aachen, where AC…
Spy Photos: A Peugeot Parks in Brooklyn
The idea of French cars in the US is a novel idea today, though it wasn't really that long ago that Peugeot, Renault et al were bit players in the American automotive sitcom.

Popular Mechanics Catches Ford Flex With the Long Lens
And as long as the lens of the mechanics with the most friends might be, the Flex is longer. Like, weirdly long. Like, Ford's new minivan replacement looks as if it were built on the same frame as the Expedition ELlivin' on the Edge, including …

As we remember it was Mazda that coined the term, but now, if Kia brings a new multipurpose vehicle to the US market, Mazda's MPV descendent, the Mazda5, may have to share its…
Spy Photos: 2007 Chrysler Sebring
Cover your eyes, the optical-jamming disguise on this 2007 Chrysler Sebring test mule may damage corneas while it's preventing a clear look at the car's redesigned comportment. Of course, if the Sebring's original production timeline had gone as expected, it would have been introduced by now, but delays pushed launch…
