Don't use Cell Phones while driving---Its Stupid
Alright, texting while driving? Obviously stupid -- but that doesn't stop tons and tons of people from doing it. The Gwent Police department in Wales hopes that its newest PSA film will help deter this bad behavior. In much the same spirit as the drunk driving on prom night films we ourselves had to sit thorough in high school, this film is pretty graphic. Okay, it's actually shockingly graphic -- but we're pretty sure that's the idea.
New- 2010 Jaguar
Behold the all new 2010 Jaguar XJ as it makes its North American debut at Pebble Beach. Although we here at Carlyle Motor Club were snubbed on the invitation by the organizers of this event, we're sure it was just a slight oversight on one of the "higher-ups" part.
But we digress, as we've told you from our first encounter with the car a month ago, the new 2010 Jaguar will be available in regular or extended wheelbase form, with one of three variations of the company's direct-injected 5.0 liter V8 underhood. The base models get a 385-horsepower normally-aspirated version; the XJ Supercharged gets boosted to 470 hp; and the top-of-the-line Supersport gets the XFR's 510-hp mill. Prices will range from a base of $72,500 to $115,000, making this one dear kitty. No matter the price, it's one striking sedan, and we can't wait to get some seat time soon.
Golden Audi--- Wow
Seems like it’s a gold rush in Dubai! While everything has turned plastic in California and elsewhere in the world, Dubai can afford the glitzy nod to hark back to the gold rush era. It surely comes as no surprise to spot a golden Audi R8 super car in, you know where. There’s all sorts of flashy stuff out there in Dubai that all eyes and radar can detect, but what sets this Audi apart form others is its stealth-like matte finish. The new monochromatic finish definitely calls for extensive staring at the vehicle. That’s a tantalizing blend of making us believe that such things do exist and I’ve been thinking a lot (lately) how it feeds on extravagant fantasy.

Honda Accord new
Honda has released several new pictures of the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour. The Crosstour’s engine line-up has not been confirmed, however it could have the same firepower as the Honda Accord. That means the 2.4-liter making 130kW (177hp), the 3.5-liter V6 worth 199kW (271hp) and the 2.3-liter turbo from the Acura RDX. More pictures after the jump. Ultra Portable Electric Bike
Designed and constructed in Christchurch New Zealand, the YikeBike is the worlds smallest, lightest electric folding bicycle at about 22lbs. The YikeBike is available for pre-orders and expects to ship in 2010. The bike folds up (in about 15 seconds) and is small enough to fit into a decent sized carrying case. The bike has a 1kW motor which powers the 20-inch front wheel, a carbon fiber body, charges in about a half hour, and will run for about 5 miles with a top speed of 12MPH. The bike will run you about $5000 to $5570
