Mention the name Carroll Shelby, and lots of words come to mind: racer, car builder, automotive legend, pilot, transplant recipient, entrepreneur - and perhaps even rascal. One thing is probably true; the plain-speaking Texan is a bit of all of these – and more. And despite a life-long series of illnesses, any of which would have crippled a weaker man, Carroll Hall Shelby, at 85, is still going...

The quality of Ford's cars and trucks equals that of Toyota and Honda -- that's the conclusion of a new report Ford is trumpeting today. The study -- the first quarter 2008 U.S. Global Quality Research System (GQRS) report -- was performed by RDA Group of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and measured the problems associated with Ford , Lincoln and Mercury cars in the first three months of ownership...

While the auto industry frets over the implications of new CAFE rules and how to meet the tough new fuel-economy standards, Ford is pressing ahead in a plan to bring new rear-drive vehicles to the U.S. market. The new vehicles, the Detroit News reports this morning, would include a new Mustang ; a sedan for the Ford division; and a four-door for Lincoln . And instead of developing them in...

Hyundai's Genesis coupe is the latest to fall victim to broken embargoes -- you know, the games automakers play with information so that hapless "printies" can get their pages onto supermarket racks, right next to InTouch and Entertainment Weekly? The Genesis coupe's been sprung from that jail by Autoblog and others, in the form of this rather complete high-resolution photo set . There aren't...

On the original Knight Rider TV series, which ran from 1982 to 1986, David Hasselhoff was catapulted to stardom. But the real star was a talking car named KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand), a Pontiac Trans Am that, in a stretch of reality, was modified to reach a salt-flats-defying 300 miles per hour with the help of a ‘Turbo Boost’ mode. The original KITT could drive itself, conduct...

All you really need to know about the first episode of SpikeTV's new reality rally show is a) a Lamborghini isn't always the best choice for an 18-day, 4000-mile road race; b) using the word "fuck" liberally does not counter the image of southern Alabama heritage that most people bring to the table; and c) host Bill Goldberg knows how to freak you right out by screaming in your face. But knowing...

SEMA done, we're ready to move on to the Los Angeles auto show . And apparently, so is the new Ford Escape . But is a tough-truck makeover enough in a world of new from the ground up utes like Hyundai's Santa Fe? We spotted the new Ferrari Dino for you, too. And yes, that was us shaking the change loose at the valet carwash in sheer desperation. Jay Leno loves cars so much, he designed his own...

TheCarConnection toured the New York auto show this week, and we were not left wanting. You haven't lived until you almost get run over by a taxi on your last snappy bite of a Sabrett's. Please, don't let them do this to my Element - or as my San Diego posse calls it, my gay little refrigerator . Okay, so we fell for this Chrysler/Jeep stunt , mostly because it involved a big firetruck and lots...

They’re nothing if not bi-coastal – Ford’s planning on hitting up New York Auto Show audiences to drool over the new California Special edition of the Mustang. The limited-edition 2007 Mustang GT/CS (“California Special”), Ford says, draws its inspiration from a 1968 model of the same name, which used Shelby pieces on a stock Mustang chassis. The new version will do the...

When you're as old as I am, (older than dirt, as TCC Editor Marty Padgett often reminds me), you like to reminisce about the old days. Fact is, there are some things I'd like to forget about, such as the hard vinyl bench seats of my first few cars. They were uncomfortable, unpleasant to the touch and just looked, well, nasty . These days, I couldn't imagine owning anything without leather...
