The truth is that while you technically can compare the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S with a 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 by the numbers, doing so is sort of missing the point. Sure, both cars will hustle away from a stoplight with similar zeal, but if you’re drag racing kids in Mustangs and 370Zs with your XKR-S, […]
Let’s get back to that last day of wet roads that I mentioned earlier. From the driver’s seat of the XKR-S, I followed Senior Editor Wayne Cunningham in the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S — not exactly a competitor for the Jaguar, but an interesting benchmark. The slippery conditions pretty much mitigated the Jaguar’s approximately […]

However, both Toyota and Honda are eyeing the 2012 North American International Auto Show, staged in Detroit, to make a comeback in the American market. For the last […]
Honda, on the other hand, had been struck immensely by natural catastrophes last year. Its local production in Japan was severely affected by the March earthquake and Tsunami. That turmoil was followed by Thailand floods in September that stalled the supply of various plastic, electronic and rubber components used in its vehicles. However, the company […]

Mastretta has been involved in car manufacturing for last one decade but only in kit vehicles. However, they took a bold step couple of years ago and plunged into complete car manufacturing. The first MXT marks the […]
