...heart-attack traffic and floors what would be the gas pedal in a more conventional car, the only sound is the hiss of the rain outside and something like an accelerating yawn from the electric motor. Czinger is showing off his company's battery-powered car, the Coda Automotive sedan, which emerged in public this June. As one more car to save the planet, the Coda is nice enough. It gets around 100 miles per charge, handles well and - unlike many of its competitors - actually exists in drivable form and not just in a press release. But what really sets...
...lots of space between characters to aid legibility at small sizes on screen," explains Simon l'Anson, creative director at Made by Many, a London-based digital-consulting company.

...here's the deep-dark secret of the Camaro: this bruiser is a cruiser. At 65 m.p.h. on the highway, the SS engine puts out only 1,900 r.p.m. (the typical sedan would be somewhere around 2,500 r.p.m.), which means it's surprisingly, pleasingly quiet.

One of the Basij, however, reappeared later holding a license plate in his hand, almost certainly to help identify the owner of the offending...
Rolls-Royces are typically leviathan in size and synonymous with ostentatious wealth. But the company's new Ghost model will be much more modest. A prototype of the four-door sedan that has been making the rounds at auto shows this summer is shorter and sleeker than the company's flagship Phantom limousine, making it "slightly more agile" and better for daily use, says Rolls-Royce CEO Tom Purves. It's more affordable as well, priced at just $245,000, far below the $380,000 baseline price tag for the Phantom. (See 10 things to buy during the recession...
