The plan details both the significant efforts we already had underway, and the even more aggressive restructuring we’re undertaking in the face of the current crisis in ...

But just because it's a chore, doesn't mean it can't also be swathed in simple Swedish luxury. Saab is looking to make ice scraping easier with the introduction of the Funk-Is, which combines plexiglass, sheepskin, and leather to create a simple Swedish solution to a problem that is as old ...

Filed under: Motorcycles Click above for more shots of the Aprilia Mana X concept Aprilia went out on a limb when it designed its brand-new Mana 850 by equipping the standard-style machine with a CVT shiftless transmission. The rest of the bike isn't quite as revolutionary, but interesting features such as a large storage unit big enough to house a helmet where the gas tank would normally sit and an electronic ride-by-wire system that features ...

What they show is the design team at Nissan's in-house tuning shop's taking some serious risks with this angry-looking catfish. But rejoice, the 370Z S-Tune isn’t all show. Performance upgrades include a NISMO stainless-steel performance exhaust, NISMO S-Tune brake pads, NISMO S-Tune springs and dampers ...

Being eco-geeks at heart we're happy to report on a new one that is both consumer-friendly and in production now. Mariah Power's Windspire is a 9 meter tall vertical turbine intended for residential or commercial installation, capable of providing about a quarter of the power an "average" household needs (2000 kWh annually).

While so many point-and-shoots come and go without attracting much attention from camera-reviewers, the Panasonic LX3 has turned some heads simply by being different. Instead of increasing megapixel count, Panasonic chose to primarily improve low-light quality over the LX2, through a better, slightly bigger sensor and a super-fast f2.0 lens, even though they had to take some hits on the spec sheets to get there. It's "only" 10 megapixels, and, while it has a great ...
