We showed you the G37 Black Bison Edition by Wald International last week and this week it’s the Lexus IS-F that will get some attention from us. Although I’m biased towards Infiniti, Lexus is still a fantastic premier luxury brand that I would purchase (if I could afford it of course).

The Lexus IS-F not only looks sexy and fast but there is a beastly 5.0 liter V8 sitting under the hood putting out an impressive 418 horsepower and 371 lb-ft of torque. In the stock form, the Lexus IS-F is very aggressive looking but the folks over at Wald International don’t agree. That’s why they have created the Premier Sports Line Edition package for the Lexus IS-F.

Last year I spent three days test driving and beating the hell out of the powerful Jaguar XFR sports sedan, I really enjoyed my time with the car.  One of the things I really like about the XF is its styling, it looks very different from the average European/Japanese sports sedan.  So when I heard Jaguar was making an XF station wagon, I was worried they’d ruin the design but I’m happy to report the XF Sportbrake looks pretty good.

Take a few moments to peruse the finer details of this publicity photo taken at the 1969 Detroit Auto Show. Should you presume that only lady car show models were seen in wide legged plaid pants in this era – consider yourself  wrong. I personally had a few pair of these high styling pants, and, while I could consider my plaid pants days a good memory or a bad one, it’s a fact that I was captured in my high school graduation photos wearing pants similar to these. Yikes!

Now let’s look past the fashion and hair-dos to concentrate on the introduction of a 1969 Ford concept vehicle dubbed “The Scrambler”. I’m not sure that I would call this a ‘pickup’ truck as the Ford sign does, since it’s really more of an adaptation of a two door station wagon. Auto style and function was changing,

I don’t want to sound like an old man by saying “they don’t make ‘em like they used to” but man, they don’t make ‘em like they used to!!  Here’s a perfect example, a beautiful 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K von Krieger Special Roadster.

The car belonged to an aristocratic Prussian family, today’s equivalent of the “1 %”, that purchased it brand new in 1936.  The supercharged roadster was shipped out of Germany during World War II to Switzerland, to protect it from

When you’re living the billionaire lifestyle, owning just an “average” Rolls-Royce coupe isn’t enough to help you stand out from the crowd.  You need a car like the limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Aviator; only 35 examples of this exquisite and ultra-luxurious coupe will be produced, ensuring you’ll be the only Wall Street banker on your block with a car like this.

The special edition Phantom Coupé Aviator pays tribute to the company’s co-founder Charles Stewart Rolls and the 1930’s Supermarine S6B racing seaplane that was powered by a Rolls-Royce “R Type” engine.

Right after releasing images and information on the 2013 A3 Sportback, Audi released images of the all-new 2013 S3 Hatchback.  Like the Sportback, the S3 hatch will be officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show.

The S3 hatchback looks very similar to the A3 with the S-Line package; of course it’s missing a couple of doors.  The only difference I can see is the added elements (winglets) in two air-scoops on the front bumper.
