2013 Mercedes G-Class Facelift Revealed [Photo Gallery]

Mercedes has a strong and very loyal fan base when it comes to the G-Class or G-Wagon as it's known in the States. Thanks to these people (and their money) the German automaker has been forced to reconsider killing off this rugged vehicle with luxury fittings.

And for the 2013 model year, the G-Class has received a facelift, receiving changes that include LED daytime running lights, new exterior mirrors, newly designed 20 inch rims and red painted brake calipers. The lower bumper is also noti...

Okay. So it's not amphibious. But it's nearly waterproof, with it's neoprene-esque seat upholstery, it's rubber mats, and it's drain plug in the floor (we're not kidding). That's got to be a good thing in a Jeep. Right?

Behind the scenes: Team USA for 2010 Motocross of Nations - together for the first time

I was back out at Pala Raceway for something very special. I had already been there for four days for the Finale of the 2010 AMA MX season and the Awards Banquet.

But, as I mentioned, this was something special - the first official get together of Team USA for the 2010 Motocross of Nations. Team Manager Roger De Coster, racers Ryan Dungey, Andrew Short, Trey Canard, and all the support staff needed for an effort like this.

Ryan Dungey, Roger De Coster, Trey Canard, Andrew Short and Mitch Payton

I felt very privileged to be invited to such an event. I soon came to realize that the most unique and moving part of the day was seeing the look of real happiness, the feeling of true honor, and the comraderie for each person involved, as 'The Team' came together for the first time. It was contagious. They seem to be a real 'team' already, working together well, and have great things to say about each other. Again, it was contagious!

Subaru BRZ Tuning Kit by Tunehouse [Preview]

The Subaru BRZ (along with its Toyota GT 86 and Scion FR-S) sister cars, is a vehicle that handles great doesn't quite offer a complete performance package due to the fact that it only comes with 200 hp.

Taken in isolation, this level of power is enough for an enthusiastic driver, but in the current era when even hot hatches top that, a sportscar really needs more and here is where the aftermarket developers enter the stage.

The Subaru BRZ has recently received a tuning kit (preview) from ...

Report: Nissan renews talk of sub-370Z sports car to take on Subaru BRZ

Filed under: New York Auto Show, Coupe, Performance, Hatchback, Nissan, Subaru

Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S got you excited? Well, it appears the new Toyobaru twins might be moving the needle at other automakers, too. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the pair may have challenged Nissan to once again reinvestigate its on-again, off-again plans for an affordable, lightweight sports coupe of its own. Nissan's Chief Creative Officer, Shiro Nakamura, says his employer is looking at downsizing its Z sports car, though it isn't clear if that would mean the Japanese automaker would field two separate Z models or just replace the current 370Z with a smaller, less costly model.

"I much prefer smaller sports car," Nakamura tells the Herald. "It is the time to look at that. With 370Z, we still don't know next generation will have a larger or smaller engine."

If Nissan were to reduce the size of the 370's powerplant, it would be the first time that model's displacement has dropped. Since the Z gets its model designation from the size of its engine (3.7 liter V6), Nissan could have a problem marketing a smaller Z called the 300Z, since the last time a new 300Z was sold in the States was way back in 1986.

More likely would be the revival of long-forgotten nameplates like 200SX or 240SX. Either would almost certainly be direct competition for the Subaru and Scion rear-drive coupes.

Nakamura reminded fans that even if the 370Z loses some cubic inches, Nissan will still have the young but already legendary GT-R. When asked if Nissan would be willing to support three sports cars, Nakamura says, "If there is a market, we will do it."
