Porsche 911 Under NHTSA Eyeball Due To Coolant Leak

Volvo is issuing a recall for S80 sedans manufactured during the 2007 model year. The problem? A flaw in the power steering system that could result in a crash. Specifically, Volvo says that the power steering reservoir return hose on some 2007 S80s may have been incorrectly routed. As a result, pressure might build up in the hose, and if that pressure becomes great enough, the hose could rupture, resulting in a sudden loss of power steering fluid. If that happens, the S80 will become much harder for the driver to control, increasing the possibility of an accident. The problem affects...

Rumors Say Next Honda Civic Si Drops Revvy 2.0, Gets 2.4-Liter Four
Half the fun of driving the Honda Civic Si or its true sports car stablemate, the S2000, is the high-rpm engagement of VTEC (yo!) and the surge of power that comes with it. It's not an ideal flat torque curve that delivers the goods; it's the rush. But that may change for the next-gen Civic Si. The...

If you haven't heard of Rocky Mountain Tracking or its Smart Tracker GPS device, we don't blame you. The relatively small operation is one among many such services, including the by-word for the field, LoJack. But it's no less effective for being small. This past Friday, January 28, a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox was stolen from the home of Clayton Fullwood in Shreveport, Louisiana. He had made a key mistake: he started the car to let it warm up, then went back into his house for five minutes. When he returned, the car was gone. It's something we've all done on occasion, especially during the worst...
