Forget about the NBER or the VIX or consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. We Autopians know one of the surest signs we're in a recession comes when collectors of movie-prop replicars start unloading their wares on eBay. The latest...

If playing with electricity underwater doesn't seem crazy enough, a Swiss company is suggesting an even more mind-boggling combination: the world's first solar submarine. We wonder if they've designed windows that open. Energy giant BKW-FMB is looking for investors ready...
The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld a regulatory ruling requiring the country's airlines to provide an extra seat -- at no charge -- to obese passengers and those with certain disabilities. Failing to do so, the court said, is...

You've got to hand it to Boston. In 30 short years, it's built a highway that's launched countless corruption scandals, seen record cost overruns and even killed someone. The $15 billion Big Dig is truly a gift that just keeps...
As we prepare for the annual Thanksgiving slog over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house, we're compiling a playlist to keep us from falling into a tryptophan-induced stupor on the long drive home. After all, British researchers...
Behold the Panamera, Porsche's $1.26 billion bet that the world wants a "four-door grand touring sedan" that mashes up the 911 and the Cayenne and might, just might, be available as a hybrid. The Panamera is the storied automaker's fourth...
The Big Three should take a page out Maserati’s book. A part from making cars that are criminally gorgeous, Maserati is doing something right. Buyers of the Italian supercars aren't letting volatile gas prices and recession fears get them down;...
Another piece of the puzzle has fallen into place at Fisker Automotive, which says it will put a turbocharged GM engine under the hood of the $80,000 Karma plug-in hybrid slated for production next year. The announcement that General Motors...

The greenest race on earth, the Progressive Insurance Automotive X PRIZE, is heating up, like Salma Hayek dancing on a waffle iron. The competition will award $10 million dollars to the teams that win a stage race for clean, production-capable...
If the chance to get your hands on one of the insanely fast, incredibly rare and outrageously expensive Desmosedici RR grand prix repliracers sped past you like Casey Stoner at the Valencia GP, never fear. Ducati has "secured" a few...

LOS ANGELES — Mitsubishi's pint-sized electric car may look like a toy, but the quick and nimble little runabout with the unpronounceable name is one sweet urban commuter. On sale in Japan next year, in Europe the year after that...
