Behold, it's the all-new Cadillac CT Coupe
Concept. It's essentially a two-door version of the popular
Cadillac CTS, so it'll probably be called the CTC once
production begins. Judging by these photos, how can Cadillac NOT
build the damn thing?
The design kind of alludes to the Lamborghini Murcielago, but
at the same time, it doesn't look related to any other vehicle
on the road. That's called originality, something most
automobile brands haven't invested lots of money into lately.
If Cadillac decides to build the CTC, it will sell very
nicely.

Don't Laugh! Ok,
Maybe A Little... Yes, it's another edition of
"What Are Hollywood Stars Driving?!?"
Speaking of Cadillac, here's Paris
Hilton stepping out of an Escalade. Now, that alone
would be pretty boring, so Paris spices things up a bit by
falling down after exiting the large SUV. Thank goodness for
TMZ.com and the scummy paparazzi -- they're always around
whether or not you need them!

VW's Four-Door
Golf
Volkswagen already offers the two-door
Golf, but considering the success of both the Ford
Focus and Mazda's small hatchbacks, they may bring
over the Polio. Well it's actually the Polo, but
misspellings can sometimes be fun.

Mercedes R-Class
Is Going Down!
Mercedes-Benz R-Class. No other
vehicle depresses us more than this one when we see it pass by
on the street, especially in black. Ok, the photo above is from
the Mercedes-Benz website and if you look quickly, it appears to
be a standard sedan of some sort. However, this is the best
photo available, so they're hiding something... "What are they
hiding," you ask? Well, we had to visit eBay since
Mercedes is smart enough to offer few photos and here is how the
R-Class really looks:
Yes, Mercedes has designed the first and hopefully
last luxury funeral hearse! Pictures are actually very
complimentary to this thing, because in real life, you might see
one and look for thirty other cars following it with little
flags attached to their windows. The good news is Mercedes-Benz
management is aware of the situation and will soon either
discontinue this model or completely revamp it. We'll take
option one, thank you.

Maybach Flavored
Kisses Yes, it's another edition of
"What Are Hollywood Stars Driving?!?"
Here's J. Lo and her husband,
Skeletor, at homegirl's Baby Shower. She is pregnant, so
it's time for expensive gifts and crap like that. Speaking of
expensive, both arrived in a Maybach limousine, which is
either theirs or a rental. Even if you had a lot of money, do
you think $350,000 is too much for a limo-style car? What ever
happened to arriving in a blacked-out GMC Yukon Denali...
Are those things too cheap for the rich now?

Volkswagen Tries
Again
The new Volkswagen Passat CC is a very
nice four-door coupe and surely they studied the economics of
it, unlike that whole Phaeton debacle. The sides look
like a slick luxury sedan, the front has a clean and crisp
design to it, but the back? Well, the back looks like a Buick.
Just saying!
The CC will offer two or three engine options
in the sub-300hp range, but that's pretty typical for Volkswagen
and most other manufacturers who match nice cars with weak
engines that crush the masculinity of men. On the technology side, it
is the second mainstream vehicle to park itself much like the
Lexus LS-Series vehicles. There must be a lot of consumer
demand for such a shitty and truly useless feature!
Seriously -- we just want wiper blades that
never leave streaks, windows that don't get fogged-up and a
radio that programs itself to the local stations. Is there any
technology that could help with those three things, because
umm... we already know how to park.

Hummer Gets Cool
Again
Hummer's HX Concept is very spiffy
looking and since it's the smallest Hummer vehicle yet, a price
of around $25,000 would make it extremely accessible. We can
already predict the buying demographics here in Chicagoland:
short-tempered suburban soccer moms and spoiled, ultra-annoying
16 year-old high school students! Come to think of it, maybe we
don't want Hummers to be all that accessible.

This One Is
Truly Epic! Yes, it's another edition of
"What Are Hollywood Stars Driving?!?"
Normally there's more of an automotive
undertone related to all our legendary Miss Britney Spears
news posts, but this one has like, everything. That includes:
1. Paparazzi boyfriend (Adnan) and the
Mercedes-Benz ML-Class Britney bought him
2. Former paparazzi boyfriend yelling at other paparazzi to go
away
3. Crazy guy stripping inside a liquor store while Britney runs
around
4. Britney speaking and swearing in a British accent at 4:13
If that doesn't sound like a good waste of a
few minutes, nothing else will either.

Don't Think,
Just Build It!
Dear Dodge,
We love your ZEO Concept. Please do
not think or contemplate other ideas! If you do, this vehicle
will not be built and we'll get stuck with more sedans that may
possibly look like crap. Trust us, we've seen your past
mistakes!

Sexy 7-Series Yes, it's another edition of
"What Are Hollywood Stars Driving?!?"
Here we have Justin Timberlake
arriving in his classy BMW 7-Series automobile. You can
tell because of the iDrive knob located on the extra-large
center console. Alright, that's enough of this guy. Boring!

Ford Paid A Lot Yes, it's another edition of
"What Are Hollywood Stars Driving?!?"
Ford has scored yet another one. First
they bought all of American Idol to push the new Edge,
then they bought a very strong appearance in Will Smith's 'I
Am Legend' film with their Shelby GT500 Mustang, and
now they've got another iconic slot: the new NBC Knight
Rider series. The show will probably flop; seriously, how
many strong plot points can you really build around a guy and
his intelligent car? Before it does though, check out the video
for a view of KITT, the new Shelby GT500KR Mustang.

Lincoln Should
Listen Up
Lincoln has one problem and one
problem only: their stylish and sometimes sexy concepts always
turn into Ford models with more chrome, most
of which is fake anyways... So you see, they should actually
build the floor models presented at every auto show they attend!
Seriously -- why even bother cheapening the cars to be one step
above their Mercury counterparts when for an additional
$10,000 (maybe more), the model can look really different, perhaps even
worth buying.

BMW Suffers A
Slight Loss...
People forget that nearly every single car
built overseas comes to the United States by ocean freight, so
there's always some risk during transport. Unfortunately, that
risk manifested itself just before a new batch of shiny BMWs
disembarked. The cargo vessel tipped over enough to dislodge
many shipping containers, damaging over three hundred BMW
automobiles and totaling at least seventy of them.
BMW customers with specialized vehicles on
order: your wait just got extended!
