First Drive Test HUMMER H3T
If HUMMER had a theme song, it’d probably be the Allman Brothers’ Whipping Post — the one that goes “Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, like I been tied to the whipping post…” The brand has been the go-to effigy when something needs to burn on the altar of eco desecration. But HUMMER doesn’t have a theme song, it has the tagline “Like No Other.” It also has a new pick-em-up truck we had the chance to drive recently in the High Sierras: the H3T. Follow the jump to find out if it’s another HUMMER like no other, and check out the gallery of hi-res images below. Continue reading First Drive Test HUMMER H3T

Volkswagen’s new affordable small car range, code-named Up!, may have to be converted from rear-drive to front-drive, VW insiders have revealed.
The Up! concept was revealed last year with an ultra-compact twin- or three-cylinder engine mounted under its rear seat to drive the rear wheels.

Lexus IS F to take on SPEED
The Lexus IS F’s path from production car to racing version has been a long and convoluted one. Starting with a grainy picture and initial information of the Lexus IS F Racing Concept which were followed by real-life pictures of its debut at the 2008 Tokyo Auto Salon courtesy of my.IS member David Huang (screen name IS300eR) and then veering off to the ever more outrageous stories of it either evolving into a mid-engined sedan racer or evolved from a 2004 Opel Vectra DTM racer, we were left to wonder if it would all ultimately self-implode into a big pile of vaporware.

Volkswagen is planning to extend its existing line-up of four-wheel drives with a new mid-sized seven-seat offering to slot between the Tiguan and Touareg.
The new model, which could go on sale in 2011, has been conceived as a rival to Volvo’s recently introduced XC60. But rather than using the same platform as Audi’s upcoming Q5, the VW will be built on a modified version of the next-generation Passat, known internally as PQ47.
