Our Find of the Week this week is the end of a nameplate. Once a massive car and a trend-setter, the nameplate slowly grew smaller over the decades. Though that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's one of the last of the classic personal luxury coupes though you might not remember this particular generation all that well. It's obscure, it's 80's, it

Our autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week this week is one of the coolest mass-production cars to come out of the 1980s. But this one is even more special. It's had some serious custom work that makes it very rare. Plus nearly double the power of the cars the manufacturer built. It's a 1987 Pontiac Fiero. With a convertible top. And a supercharger. Cal

It's not quite as brand new as the Cadillac Allante we brought you a few months ago. Or the super-low-mile Toyota Supra  we found after that. But our Find of the Week this week is still nearly new. It's a 1987 Ford Mustang GT convertible that has done less than 2,500 km since rolling off of the assembly line. Ford's third-generation Mustang

Mario Andretti is a racing legend – one of the greatest race car drivers, ever. Over his multi-decade career, Andretti won 111 major events including the Formula 1 World Championship, the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500. He also captured four IndyCar National Championships, three 12 Hours of Sebring endurance races, and was named Driver of t

There are Ferraris, and there are Ferraris. You could argue that every single one is special (maybe not the, ahem, “interesting” looking 612 Scaglietti), but some are more special than others. These days, Ferrari builds an entry-level model that you'd have to win the lottery to afford , a V12-powered, front-engined GT car, and the idiotically n

It's best to think of the partnership of Elhart Melcher and Hans Werner Aufrecht as a sort of modern day equivalent of the medieval armourers of the past. They toiled in their workshop (first in Burgstall and der Murr, later in Affalterbach), creating wheeled dreadnoughts of fearsome power. These days, the Mercedes name is tied to AMG as if by m

BMW's roundel is not meant to represent a propeller. That bit of mythology comes from an illustration in an old ad, trumpeting the brand's aeronautical heritage. However, the blue-and-white badge that sits on the nose of every BMW comes from an even earlier idea: a tribute to the coat of arms of Bavaria. A century since the first BMW left the

At forty, the Honda Accord is officially middle-aged. For those of us, it’s a blobby sort of milestone to be achieved, a time to look back in time and wish we could reclaim our youth – apart from the silly haircuts. However, the Accord needs no such nostalgia: it’s as quick as it’s ever been, and can still be purchased with a zippy four-cylinder an

Remember that kid at the back of your high school math class – the one whose mother dressed him every day, who always seemed to have the right answer on every pop quiz, and who you never would have noticed had he not later gone on to become CEO at a Fortune 500 company, rubbing it in your face at your 25th year reunion? There are cars and trucks

When it comes to passenger car vehicle sales in Canada, I guess you could call it the Civic Authority. For nearly two decades, the humble Honda Civic has been the best-selling car in Canada. The Ford F-150 outdoes it, of course, but eliminate fleet sales and work trucks and the car that Canadians most turn to to get around has a Honda badge o

When Ferruccio Lamborghini first saw the engine that was to power his cars, he was furious. Engineering genius Giotto Bizzarrini, the man who shaped the Ferrari 250 GTO , had been given the task of creating a twelve-cylinder engine to rival Ferrari, but one built for the road. Clearly, this 3.5L 60-degree V-12 was a racing engine – its 11,000-rpm

I take back every bad word I ever said about LEGO. For every time I stepped on a tiny plastic brick and cursed the Danish brand loud and proud into the night, I am sorry. So sorry. LEGO, you are redeemed, for now I can own a supercar in the most nerdtastic way possible. Not only is the LEGO Creator series Ferrari F40 a 1,158-piece, $90, car-ne

It might not be the glamorous monster that is the US Army Humvee, or even the Mercedes G-Wagen that Canadian forces use today. But that doesn't mean that the Iltis can't be your ultimate trail rig, off-roader, or winter go-anywhere machine. The Iltis, which is the German word for polecat, was originally a Volkswagen. Its official name was the Ty

This summer marks 50 years since the first time the streets of Trois-Rivières were turned into an urban circuit – a tradition that's run every year since, except in 1986 and 1987. Thus, it's the 48th weekend of tri-fluvial competition that's just wrapped up, with 13 events that ran the gamut, and a field of drivers who ran against each other – and
