Auto Shows , Design/Style Mazda MX-5 Matte and Black Special Edition – Click above for high-res image gallery We make no effort to hide the fact that we love the Mazda Miata just the way it is. In fact, it’s always been just about perfect in our eyes, as evidenced by our most recent road test of the sporty little Japanese runabout. But if bright schoolbus yellow just isn’t your bag, baby, may we suggest something a little more subtle?

Spy Shots: Updated Mercedes-Benz C-Class wagon spotted touring about
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Spy Photos , Wagon , Mercedes-Benz , Luxury Mercedes-Benz C-Class wagon spy shots – Click above for high-res image gallery Last week, the forthcoming revised Mercedes C-Class sedan was caught on a field trip , and this week it’s the C-Class wagon. Naturally, the same changes spotted in that last round of photos – new hood, headlights and bumpers, a more upright grille, LED taillamps, and altered rear fascia – have taken the small step over to this car as well. The spy shooters at CarPix also suggest that noticeable interior changes might be on the way, since “test drivers are always very keen on covering the dash up.” We expect a few modest material changes and maybe some COMAND updates, but not a full-on interior redo. Either way, you can check out high-res exterior shots in the gallery of photos below.

Toyota asks ABC News for apology, retraction of Brian Ross report
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Government/Legal , Recalls , Safety , Toyota ” Toyota deserves a public retraction and formal apology from ABC News .” At least according to the automaker itself. For what, you ask? For ABC’s “irresponsible broadcast entitled “Expert: Electronic Design Flaw Linked to Runaway Toyotas.” You surely remember the piece , which originally aired the night before a Congressional Panel began investigating the issue of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles.

Pics Aplenty: 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon limited edition
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Coupe , Performance , Chevrolet 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon – Click above for high-res image gallery When we first told you about the new limited edition Corvette Z06 Carbon that Chevrolet plans to offer this fall, we had two measly photos to offer up from General Motors. In the run-up to this weekend’s 12 Hours of Sebring, GM has shown the Z06 Carbon in public at the Corvette Corral, and now, more photos have now been released – including interior shots that you can find in our updated gallery . Only 500 examples of the full-blown Carbon will be built, and they include numerous carbon fiber body parts and chassis components from the ZR1. Perhaps the best part of the new model is the inclusion of the carbon-ceramic brakes and the magnetic ride damping system from the supercharged car.

Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Etc. Jerome “Jerry” York, the former CFO of Chrysler and General Motors , died today at a hospital in Pontiac, Michigan after succumbing to a brain aneurysm he suffered late Tuesday evening. York enjoyed stints at the Big Three during the 1960s and later helped Chrysler pull its way out of its financial crisis and government bailout in 1980. He also served on the board of IBM and Apple, and earlier this decade was instrumental in efforts to bring GM back from the brink, along with an attempted takeover bid of Chrysler with Kirk Kerkorian
