Washington: Anti-Camera Group to Shame City Council
Opponents of automated ticketing machines in Monroe, Washington have turned to a new tactic in battling a city council that refuses to give up the use of red light cameras and speed cameras. Instead of engaging the city and a wealthy traffic camera company in a costly legal battle, the group�BanCams.com decided Wednesday to shame [...]
Test drive: 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata
I find it hard to believe, but the Miata has been around for over two decades -- it was coming on the market right around the time I got my driver's license. The Miata has long been a favorite of mine, and I enjoyed my test drive every bit as much as I expected -- but there's one blatant flaw in this car that really bothers me. Get the skinny in my 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata review. -- Aaron Gold

BMW M3 CRT showcases CFRP carbon fiber tech coming to i3 and i8
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Hybrid, MPG, BMW, Lightweight
BMW M3 CRT - Click above for high-res image gallery
Pictured above is the BMW M3 CRT. In this case, CRT is short for Carbon Racing Technologies, according to BMW. While the BMW M3 CRT is not what we'd typically call "green" - output from its monstrous 4.4-liter V8 engine is 450 horsepower and 324 pound-feet of torque - but it's CRT tech showcases what we'll soon see used on two of the German automaker's alt-fuel vehicles: the electric i3 and the plug-in hybrid i8.
The M3 CRT represents the worldwide debut of an innovative production process for carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). This process, according to BMW, allows a cellular carbon honeycomb to be woven into CFRP mats of any size before being impregnated with synthetic resin and hardened. In the M3 CRT, only the hood and front bucket seats are made of CFRP. However, both the i3 and i8 will feature bodies made almost entirely from CFRP. BMW says that extensive use of CFRP will keep the i3's weight in check, allowing the rear-wheel-drive electric to go 100 miles before needing a charge.

Spy Shots: Buick Regal Wagon spotted naked and unashamed

Buick Regal wagon spy shots - Click above for high-res image gallery
One year ago, a Buick Regal wagon was deemed "unlikely." However, General Motors is reportedly looking to expand the Regal lineup, not just with a rumored coupe, but with the estate seen here. Sources within GM say that the Regal wagon could debut as early as the end of this year, making it a 2012 model year vehicle.
In addition to these live photos (note the "turbo" script on its rump), our spies are offering up a rendering of what the production version of the Regal Wagon could look like, complete with the larger 19-inch wheels from the Regal Turbo sedan. If produced, the Regal wagon would aim squarely at the recently introduced Acura TSX Sport Wagon.
If the Regal wagon is indeed set to debut this year, the Los Angeles Auto Show is probably a safe bet. We'll keep our ears to the ground for more details in the coming months.
