"Some Mulholland passes from an un-named car," wrote YouTube author 31200MulhollandHwy, adding that, "CHP [California Highway Patrol] closed the road intermittently - Japanese crew wouldn't give any info on car."

Of course, most car enthusiasts are more interested in the sports car project, which will fill empty spaces in both Toyota's and BMW's ranges. For Toyota, this could mean the return of the Supra, while for BMW it could be a standalone coupe positioned in a different segment (both in terms of dimensions and concept) than the 4-Series and the upcoming i8 plug-in hybrid sports car.

Now, though, that the new 308 has been revealed, means people can tamper with the photos and create different versions of it, speculating what the manufacturer might end up doing some time from now, like the above rendering from DesignRM.

Toyota's 2013 brand value rose 12 percent to $24.5 billion (€19.03 billion), mainly due to its significant inroads in the hybrid market, the study said. The Japanese automaker ranked 23rd amongst all brands, while came in behind at No.24. The German carmaker's brand value lost 2 percent to $24 billion (€18.65 billion)) compared to last year, with the reason for this being the lack of new product launches compared with past years.

You probably remember that, at a press conference at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, Marchionne commented on the long-delayed introduction of the new generation Alfa Romeos to the U.S. saying: "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine. There are some things that are well-done in Italy."

Meet the funny lads over at Nostril Shorts who came up with the idea of promoting the sale of member Garry's 1990 VW Polo Mk2 C Squareback (a.k.a. Breadvan) on the popular classified ads site DoneDeal with a video.

The carmaker chose their entry out of a total of nine submissions to display at the Clerkenwell Design Week, which runs in London from May 21 to 23.

But now, with cars like the Tesla Model S receiving praise for their performance, it's definitely worth watching the video below – it's Drive's drive of EV West's Pikes Peak-ready BMW E36 M3, which has been converted to run on electricity.

But before that happens, the Japanese automaker will try to bore us to death drum up some attention around the new 2014 Corolla sedan with teasers like the cropped picture seen above, and which was accompanied by the following text: "Prepare to meet the NEW 2014 Corolla. Get excited for June 6, really excited…"

The reason why we're leaving a question mark has to do as much with Skoda's one-style-fits all design strategy, as it has with the fact that this particular model featured a "Fabia" moniker on the tailgate. That's not to say Skoda may have placed the logo there simply to confuse us – which it did…

It was shot at the Silver Lake sand dunes, a place where many gather to test out their off-road contraptions, and get as much airtime as possible.

This time we bring you a story about three unnamed, former company executives who were recently put behind bars for accounting fraud. According to The Detroit News, they are "suspected of aggravated attempts to avoid tax controls" – fixing Saab's accounts in 2010 and 2011, while the company was under the control of Spyker. In Sweden, this brings about a four-year prison sentence.

The first two clips were shot at Koenigsegg's headquarters in Sweden, where the cars made a stop. The rainy weather that was responsible for an accident in the first day of the rally – a Lamborghing LP670-4 SuperVeloce, didn't stop the expensive lineup from continuing their journey, as you can see in the third video which follows contestants down Swedish roads.

The owner of the car removed the roof and cut around two-thirds of the windshield and A-pillars, adding M3 E30-like fender extensions, a hood scoop, front and rear spoilers and a roll cage, while also partially stripping out the interior – for some unexplainable reason, the unusable rear seat bench and door panels were left intact.

Billed as a "next-generation global sedan", the Attrage is the sedan sibling of the new Mirage supermini for buyers on a budget that is offered in several markets and regions around the world, including Europe, Asia and starting from this fall, in the United States as well.
