With this entry, we continue (sort of) our series of Star Trek Cars, although this one may actually be more deliberately Trekkian in origin than those others. For those unfamiliar with this whole "Borg" thing, I direct
readers to the relevant Wikipedia page:
Borg is a collective proper noun for a fictional alien race that appears in various incarnations of the Star Trek franchise. The Borg are a collection of species that have been turned into cybernetic organisms functioning as drones of the…

Following last night's premature reveal, Toyota has officially presented its new GT86 / Scion FR-S-based FT-86 Open concept, just days before we get to see in the flesh at the 83rd edition of the Geneva Motor Show. Besides a more comprehensive and higher-resolution image gallery, Toyota also published the first video of the car on the move and initial specifications. It only takes a quick look at the pictures to see that the FT-86 Open is more of a pre-production model than a concept, something th…

The automotive world is slowly accepting electric cars and the like. But there is controversy of late. It seems that a test drive of a Tesla went wrong… that it didn't meet the advertised claims of its parent company.
Or did it fail? There are two sides to this story, and Tesla has a great argument.
Rather than me trying to retell the story, here it is from Wikipedia:
"On 8th February 2013, the New York Times
published a review, written by John Broder, about the real possibility
of a Tesla …

Ever since Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, and Jackie Gleason made a little movie with a black Trans Am, T Tops have become a staple in our automotive land. For about two decades, every American automaker offered them. The Subaru BRAT, Nissan 300ZX, and Toyota MR2 were a few foreign models that had them as well.
After all, convertibles were gone forever after 1976 (Or so we were told), so this was the only way, other than a sunroof, to open the skies for us motorists. And they just looked, well… cool!

Submitted for your approval, we find the following Yahoo! News story that should be of some interest to auto-heads the world over: Would-be Carjackers foiled by stick shift:
An attempted stickup was confounded by a car’s stick shift, when would-be carjackers failed to understand the mechanics behind a manual transmission.Randolph Bean tells WOFL FOX 35 that two men attempted to steal his 2002 yellow Corvette at gunpoint outside an Orlando hospital, but they ended up running away after they couldn’t f…

About this time every four years in our Nation's capital, we get to see an amazing spectacle. That's right, we get to see live on TV the car we citizens provide to transport and protect our President.
"The Beast" will make its second inaugurational appearance today. And regardless of our political views, any inauguration is a time to relax and enjoy the peaceful transition of power that our country uniquely provides.
Some insiders say that this car is more truck than anything else. I d…

As usual, this is your place for all discussions automotive. I have a couple of items to get the conversational juices going.
First off, in the news last week, it was reported that GM is retiring its "Chevy Runs Deep" tagline in favor of a more "global" slogan: "Find New Roads." In a discussion thread over at TTAC, where the columnists were never impressed with the whole "Runs Deep" thing in the first place, commenters proposed alternatives ranging from snark…

A few weeks ago, December 10 to be exact, fellow Car Lust contributor Anthony Cagle helped introduce us to "The Lincoln Motor Company." A couple of commenters, yours truly included, suggested that Lincoln return to a 1970s Detroit styling icon, the opera window(s). This design element might help that "budding" company set itself apart from the rest of automobilia with perhaps a touch of class from a bygone era… just as their ads suggest.
From a Mustang II Ghia to a Cadillac Sedan d…

Today is New Year's Eve. And before we watch the crystal ball drop in Times Square and say goodbye to 2012, let's have a cup of cheer, take a few moments to look back, and make those New Year's resolutions that we oh so rarely keep.
December 31 has also been a notable date for transportation-related milestones. Ships, airplanes, and, oh yes, cars, have made some news on this date.
And some of those things that happened on past New Year's Eves include:
1862: The Union ironclad ship Moni…
