Look at it this way: you live in an area with smooth, twisty roads, long miles of empty interstate that stretch to the horizon and you're either a hardcore racer or you have a more conventional vehicle for your daily driver, then it probably makes sense to buy a Lancer Evolution. Deciding on an EVO also might make sense if you regularly invite members of your local law enforcement community over for barbeque.

Despite its shortcomings that include a funky checkerboard dash, no third row seat along with rear visibility and cargo room limited by a low roofline, I found many more things than not to like about it.

It's not just Hans and Franz, the characters from the late eighties Saturday Night Live sketches, that can get people pumped up. We know this for a fact because the first line of Monster Energy's most-recent press stated when we thought we couldn't get any more pumped about 2014, the chief-tyre-slayer and head Hoonigan in charge Ken Block has thrown it down with an epic season schedule, and a fresh new graphics package to match.

Chicago debuted the first public showing of the new Raptor fighter, and he wears a bow tie. Meet the Lingenfelter Chevrolet Reaper.

In conjunction with Andretti Autosport, Volkswagen will field two turbocharged Beetles in this year's Global Rallycross racing series (events in which entrants compete against each other - as well as against the clock - in a series of elimination heats. The closed courses are usually a mixture of dirt, tarmac and a 70-foot jump). Not only that, but the entries will be driven by a pair of well-known, successful drivers. The Rockstar Energy Drink Beetle will be driven by none other than Tanner Foust, GRC circuit champion in 2011 and 2012, while ex-Formula 1 and NASCAR driver Scott Speed (who won the first GRC race he entered in Brazil last year) will pilot the 7UP entry.

Subaru pulled the curtain back on it's latest boy racer, and its a little more grown up then you might expect.

You'll find no argument from us that the 4-door sits at the top of the midsize sedan segment, but how does this translate to the Accord Coupe?

A few years ago, American small car buyers had little to choose from and even less to look forward to when buying a subcompact car. All that has changed and the Hyundai Accent SE hatchback, with one of the best new car warranties in the business, is right in the thick of it giving buyers a lot of bang for the buck with only a few tweaks to its driving dynamics holding it back from being one of the best.
