With family in England, I read more than my fair share of British car magazines. If there is one thing these diverse publications all share, it’s a rabid love of the Land Rover Discovery.

I wonder how much of this is cheering for a home team that’s experienced a whole lot of defeats in the last 30 years.
Still, quite a few of us at CR were surprised by how much we liked the Land Rover LR4, the American version…

Bird-Like Landing MIT researchers built a glider that can land like a bird. MIT
Move over, hovercraft. This airplane can perch, bird-style, on a power line.
Using computer algorithms, MIT researchers have designed a foam glider with a single motor on its tail that can perch like a bird. The work has implications for robotic planes, potentially allowing them to recharge their batteries by perching on power lines, according to MIT News.
Watch a bird careening through the trees, and you might wonder how it …

Still not convinced that Land Rover is marketing the new Evoque (click here for pictures and a video from the presentation) as a hip crossover – even after learning about Victoria Beckham’s involvement in the project? Then these photos should do the trick.

We weren’t supposed to see the refreshed for the 2011 model year Land Rover Freelander SUV before its world premiere either at the Moscow auto show in August 2010, or in Paris at the end of September, but Car Magazine provides our first look at the facelifted model through a group of pictures, allegedly taken from a leaked Italian…

Curiosity’s Brand New Wheels NASA
The next Mars rover, Curiosity, has been outfitted with a new cutting-edge mobility system that’s enough to make off-road enthusiasts drool with envy. The rover, which will carry ten times the payload mass of Spirit and Opportunity, is about the size of an SUV, and too heavy for an airbag landing.
It has a set of six wheels that are 20 inches in diameter — larger than a car tire. Each wheel has its own motor, giving the rover independent six-wheel drive, and “cleats” …

He said that Land Rover will start a new-model blitz that will not only add new models besides the upcoming Evoque, but add more diesel, small gasoline engines and hybrid power to its lineup….
