I chuckled when 1 saw the comment on page 26 Design Class, November 2010 about Porsche design and Amish people with cell phones. I live and work in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and Amish are not as backward as many people seem to think. I know quite a few Amish who own cell phones. For all you know, you may even have a few Amish subscribers.

New Chrysler 200 Driven
MERCEDES SLS GT3 TRACKED MINI'S SUV FIRST TEST COP CAR SPOTTERS' GUIDE It's not a question you'd expect from the world's fourth largest automaker. Especially when technology like hybrid cars, augmented reality and even jetpacks have been around for years. To some it might imply that we're late to the game. To others, that we're merely following a trend. At Hyundai, we don't see it that way. Truth is, we could have followed other car companies and licensed an existing hybrid platform years ago....
Hyundai Genesis 38 Rspec
Despite having more horsepower, a lower curb weight, and no asinine top-speed governor, the Genesis 3.8 R-Spec couldn't beat the V-6-powered Mustang, falling 1.3 sec onds behind with a lap time of 3 13.8. But the Hyundai did match the more expensive WRX STI. Where the Genesis stumbled was in the handling guts of the infield, a.k.a. sector four the R-Spec went in and came out hotter than the Stang but couldn't maintain speed throughout the five-corner sluice. It ceded only 0.1 second to the...
Porsche 911 Ct3rs
Everyone agreed The 911GT3 RS might not have been the fastest car in this particular Lightning Lap event, but it was the sweetest to drive. It starts flattering its driver in the cabin, which is tailored to the serious pilot like no other car here. The bucket seat wraps intimately around your torso, the Alcantara-trimmed shifter has flick-o'-the wrist short throws, and the steering wheel's rim is just the right thickness. The 450-hp GT3 RS was fast but got stomped in a straight line by the...

ELLICOTT CITY, MARYLAND You really should get that cough checked out Ed. What happened in the last 15 years The Acura Legend was and still is an amazingly engineered sedan coupe, inside and out. The latest Acuras resemble a 20-something with too much makeup who's waiting to get picked up while standing at the corner of the bar. And then there's the Legend. Remember your buddy with the hot mom The one who is still hot

PHOENIX, ARIZONA We were unable to verify the Turbo S's top speed so tve relied on Porsche's claim. But, like you, we went to work on our calculators andfound that the car would need to rev to 7000 rpm to reach 195 mph in sixth gear 200 rpm above the redline . Although the redline is marked at 6800 rpm on the tach, the PDK transmission will allow the engine to rev to 7000 rpm thus making 195 mph in sixth gear possible. Armed with Porsche's 195-mph claim, we listed the Turbo S as redline limited...
Volkswagen Passat
After his tenure at Audi, Pi ch turned his attention to Volkswagen he was the company's CEO from 1993 until 2002. One of his first cars at VW was the fourth-gen Passat. Inspired by Peter Schreyer's Audi A1X concept an internal project , it was a lavishly engineered sedan with Audi mechanicals and refinement, and it contributed to VW's resurgence. A pricey nearly 40,000 eight-cylinder W-8 version flopped but showed Pi ch's willingness to take risks in his attempt to move VW upmarket.
