Filed under: Coupe , Safety , Videos , Nissan Back on Thanksgiving Day of 2011, we saw what happens when a C5 Chevrolet Corvette goes head-to-head on public roads against a C6 Vette – the older Vette spears into the passenger-side door of the newer Vette. The video was our most popular post of 2011 , so we know that well over a million viewers saw the ill-advised drag race. We think that video illustrated that racing on public roads was a bad idea, but sometimes, accidents happen even without a race.

2012 Mercedes-Benz C350 Coupe

2012 Mercedes-Benz C350 Coupe With this car, you are getting everything that a Mercedes is for a reasonable price. Three years ago, my mother almost bought a C300 sedan but cited the fact that it “wasn’t special enough” as a deal breaker.

Official: Bugatti showcases the Bumblebee of Veyrons in Qatar

Filed under: Convertible , Performance , Bugatti , Misc. Auto Shows , Middle East With a gazillion color options for every little part of the Bugatti Veyron , there’s no reason why any two examples should be alike. (Except for maybe an inverse correlation between wealth and imagination.) So it would stand to reason that every Bugatti should be considered a special edition of one.
