Starting Lines: Aston Zagato Going Into Production?
Aston Zagato Going Into Production?
Aston Martin's V12 Zagato was the star of many auto shows and even the Nurburgring 24-hour race last year. Thankfully, the feedback that Aston has been receiving has meant that it has just released the first production reveal at the Kuwait Concours d' Elegance. Only 150 of the super-exclusive Astons will be made for worldwide consumption, and you can bet that with its release being held in Kuwait that the Middle

Story by Mark Harris, phots by Mark Harris and Giancarlo Pawelec
The Megaspeed Custom Car & Truck show was held at the International Centre in Mississauga recently. Formerly known as Performance World, the show's main focus was the classics, with a section reserved for the modern tuner cars. This year's show was very well attended, but saw a decline in the number of vehicles entered in the show. To say the show was anything but epic
Big Wheels Keep On Turnin’
What performance side effects do bigger wheels have on your car?
Story by Budd Stanley
The swapping of small wheels for larger, better-looking aluminum mags is usually the first thing we do when we purchase ourselves a new project car. However, other than the vastly improved looks, what are the benefits of larger wheels on your car? The answer may surprise you, as there is very little larger wheels can do to increase performance, depending on what
Big bang for the buck
2012 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec
Story and photos by Russell Purcell
Large luxury sedans have always been regarded as a status symbol, but unfortunately, many of these premium automobiles deliver a very unsatisfying driving experience. When Hyundai introduced the Genesis sedan for the 2009 model year, it represented the Korean company's first product aimed directly at the luxury car segment of the North American automotive market. While the well-equipped Genesis proved to be a pleasant car to drive,
Porsche Camp4 Canada – Innovative driving school embraces winter chill
Story and photos by Russell Purcell
Winter is usually the season when automotive enthusiasts work on their cars to prepare them for spring and summer motoring, but Porsche wants to change that, and convince the owners of its venerable sports cars that they are as much fun to play with in the snow as they are on the pavement.
The concept of Porsche's Camp4 can trace its roots back 16 years to the chilly nation of Finland,
Mazda CX-5 – Not Your Average Grocery Getter
Story and photos by David Symons, Additional photos by David Dewhurst
When first approached about attending the test event for Mazda’s new CX-5 (featuring Skyactiv technology), I must confess to not understanding their reasoning for the choice of venue. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (the tracks namesake notwithstanding) seemed an odd choice for showcasing Mazda’s latest entry into the mid-size crossover market. Wouldn’t taking it someplace up country with a little bit of light off-roading be more
Subtle and Refined Performance
Mercedes-Benz C350 Coupe
by Gerry Frechette
The sport coupe has been a mainstay of the Mercedes-Benz lineup for many years, and most recently, the CLK occupied the mid-range territory, but in a re-arranging of the model mix, there is now both an E-Class and C-Class coupe, and the CLK is gone. With the C-Class, Mercedes is targeting a younger enthusiast driver than it has before, but with a subtle and refined type of performance.

Truck Guy: 2012 Toyota Tacoma
The 2012 Toyota Tacoma has received some minor updates. With the cult like following around here for this truck, that might be as drastic as shaving your head.
Looks:
Not to worry, the changes made to this Tacoma are not dramatic and bring the front end more in line with the 4runner. The rest of the truck stays the same. There are four models to choose from, 4x2 Access cab, 4x4 Access cab, 4x4 Access cab V6,
One-on-One with Custom Car Builder, Troy Ladd
By Jordan Allan
One day, Troy Ladd decided he wasn’t made out to be a corporate suit-and-tie guy, so he quit his job and used his life savings to open a custom car shop named Hollywood Hot Rods, and seven years later he was named “Builder of the Year” at the 2010 Grand National Roadster Show. But before that, Troy had to sleep on his shop floor at night and live on just one McDonald’s meal
