Team McLaren Mercedes kicked off the Monaco race weekend today, and the first day of practice turned out to be an eventful one. At the end of his first practice session, Kimi Raikkonen and his MP4-21 were forced to retire early due to what was initially thought to be a blown engine. However, the actual cause for Kimi's retirement was a fire, which caused a small amount of repairable damage to the vehicle's wiring

The first (and, as it turns out, only) new car I ever bought was a 1970 BMW 2002. It was a wonderfully simple little car that was probably more fun to drive than any other little sedan on the road - fast, agile and just a tad quirky. It was the precursor of the fabulous 3-Series that would come to define and lead the small sport sedan segment. This week’s ride is the blazingly fast, eminently sophisticated BMW 330i, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport sedan

The BMW Z8 might have tanked a bit, but BMW isn't phased... much. The replacement is the BMW Z6, which BMW will pit against the Mercedes' SL class.

General Motors' Saturn division has claimed the honor of having the lowest-priced hybrid SUV on the market, announcing Wednesday that the Vue Green Line will sticker at $22,995 - almost $4,000 less than its competitors. Not only is the Vue Green Line the cheapest hybrid SUV, it also offers the best highway fuel economy of any SUV currently available, with an EPA rating of 27/32 mpg city/highway. The hybrid offers about a 20 percent improvement in fuel economy over the standard Vue

What goes around, comes around... at least in the retail auto business. A combination of high fuel prices and aggressive incentive programs on new vehicles has conspired to put used SUV prices into free fall. According to industry analysts, the wholesale value of used large SUVs in April was down 4.1 percent over last year, and 4.7 percent from March. The trend is particularly painful for Ford and General Motors, who sell most of the large SUVs

Pushing aside mounting political pressures, Renault has announced that it will go ahead with plans to build its Logan sedan in Iran as part of a joint venture. Signed yesterday, the deal had been in doubt for some time-and not because of the nation's controversial nuclear initiative. As Autoblog reported last month, the future of the French connection was questionable after government officials balked over vehicle export percentages, shutting down production of the bare-bones vehicle
