newVideoPlayer("/Ford-Focus-RS.flv", 494, 350,""); You can have the most forbidden of Ford's fruits, the 2009 Ford Focus RS , for £24,995 in Brit money or $38,359 if you're in the US and into torturing yourself. Every time we see a Focus RS , it reminds us of the famous pre-hippie era image of Woody Guthrie holding his guitar emblazoned with the slogan "This machine kills fascists," only we imagine a bumper sticker on the tail of the Focus RS reading "This machine kills tuners." We want a Focus RS so bad our insides ache. And with today's announcement from Ford that the pocket rocket will be selling for £24,995, or about $38,359 in imaginary US sales dollars, it makes the churning in our gut even more intense. galleryPost('2010FordFocusRSP', 9, ''); For that dough Ford will serve up a turbocharged 2.5 liter five cylinder with 300 HP and 324 lb-ft of torque mated to a six-speed transmission, all good for a 0-62 mph under...

newVideoPlayer("Pontiac_v_BMW.flv", 463, 387,""); From the book of car, whatever that is, comes the latest in the march of ads for the Pontiac G8 GT . We all thought the Spy Hunter commercial was clever, and the Hot Wheels one was slick too. This new web-only commercial turns it up a notch, taking the fight right to the lion's den, comparing the new 2008 Pontiac G8 GT to the BMW 5-Series. Hmm, that's an interesting approach from the brand that never used to drive excitement, especially when they claimed they were , but since it's their ad, do we really have to say who comes out ahead in this one? What we really like about this latest commercial is the poetry slam vs. powerpoint presentation style, plus the funny pictures of goats. Subtle allusion to the Pontiacs of the past, perhaps, but automakers should remember that farm animals always make for a good direction for a car commercial. At least in our minds. [ Youtube ]

newVideoPlayer("PontiacVibeAWD_gawker.flv", 475, 376); Despite still being a few hours away from the official reveal, the folks at the General have graciously dropped some video clips of the new 2009 Pontiac Vibe onto a public web site, so we've decided to go ahead and run them. The video gives us a bit more of a look at the new Vibe-rator than the one press shot we've already been handed. The arrow-headed brand's newly redesigned 2009 Pontiac Vibe comes on the heels of the SEMA reveals of its two NUMMI-platform stable mates, the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Matrix. The five-seat, crossover SUV features a revised exterior and interior design and enhanced safety features, including a tire pressure monitoring system, OnStar and an electronic vehicle stability control system. In addition, GM's also announcing the return of the all-wheel-drive and GT models to the Vibe line-up which should, you know, be something for anyone whom this car may perhaps build excitement in. Depending on the model...

newVideoPlayer("bmw_1_conv_1_gawker.flv", 475, 376); What could be more relaxing than a spirited jaunt on a German country lane in a convertible ? If you answered, "17 minutes in a dumpster full of clotted cream with Nigella Lawson," please focus. BMW released some b-roll of its new 128i convertible (yes, the same BMW 128i convertible we revealed to you mere moments ago -- the drop-top version of the BMW 128i we revealed back in July, and yes, the same 1-series we saw the cloth pulled back on in Frankfurt) amidst a mild wringing on some Bavarian b-road. Its breezy cinematography makes us pine for those summer afternoons at the yacht club, relating bawdy jokes with the Windsor sisters and Edmund over gin and tonics. Ah, the squash matches we'd have. Then, we'd retire to Edmund's 325i convertible for line after line of Columbian high-grade. Ah, the tomfoolery.
