In what has to be one of the biggest violations of common sense and burden of proof in motoring news this year, the Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that officers can "visually estimate" how fast a person is driving... and give them a ticket for it

Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in. It was really inevitable. When two companies spent that much time in the same house the split would be hard, especially on the kids: OnStar and Cadillac

If you're one of those people that looks at the Merc SL65 AMG Black and goes "It's nice and all, but couldn't it have more power?" Then you're our kind of person. The pedestrian Black series features a sissified 670 ponies from a boosted V12 6 litre Merc engine. Yawn. It's also a a girly silver-grey color. In other words, it's a total Grandma car. If your granny is Ma Schumacher.

The short answer is no. Whitacre has self-admittedly stated he's not a car guy. What Whitacre does know is mergers and acquisitions. Aside from figuring out how to deal with Saab, it doesn't look like GM really needs to be buying up companies. Ed is a numbers guy and if that makes you a bit nervous, it probably should. GM's other "numbers guy" was Rick Wagoner

Call us spoiled, but we'll just take the Scirocco. Not that the Concept Coupe (props on the creative name guys) is a terribly ugly vehicle, but it's like putting ground chuck in a steak mold if you are a performance person. That being said, next to the Volt this is one of the better looking hybrids out there. Going with the unofficial theme of concept cars for NAIAS this year, this is another hybrid. Fire power comes from a turbocharged 1.4L inline four with 150 horsepower, which is backed up by 27 horsepower electric backed up bu lithium-ion batteries. The grand total of 177 means this car scoots to 60 in 8.1 seconds which is not to bad considering it should get around 56 mpg or so. Great figures, but we know you guys can put this tech in the Scirocco. Aiding in those high mpg's is VW's 'coast down' technology that automatically disengages the transmission after the driver lets off the throttle and allows the car to coast for longer periods of time, as well as regenerative braking. Although it's still in the concept stages it looks far too polished to stay there. We wouldn't be surprised if the Concept Coupe showed up in your local Volkswagen dealerships.
