It appears as though the Imperial Army has turned in their speeder bikes for something a little more agile as evidenced by this Imperial Storm Trooper caught driving a white Lotus Exige.
Not one to let a Lotus-driving storm trooper have all the fun, Darth Vader has upped the ante by hopping into an Ariel Atom. Sounds like time for another round of “Caption This.” Apparently, fighting rebel uprisings and making stray cats float around the Death Star (or whatever he does) gets boring after a while, so Darth has picked up an Ariel Atom for a weekend toy. We’re wondering if this settles the question of what is the ultimate Vader ride. Probably not. (Hat tip to Eric!)
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I really don’t like trucks, its just not my thing. I prefer small nibble sports cars, but thanks to Top Gear if I was to get a truck it would definitely be a Toyota.

ZR1 Nurburgring Official 7:26.4 Record Corvette Ru

Today’s official announcement of the sale of Ford luxe brands Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata got us thinking about the big picture. Yes, we were trying to map out in our minds what the global auto industry looks like these days. The only problem is the past few years have seen more brand swapping than a key party. For a while, the folks who run Cars! Cars! Cars! kept a page on each brands owned by each automaker — but that page hasn’t been updated recently. Luckily we found a nice graph over at Too Many Cars to help sate our hunger for visual representations of brand ownership. Just ignore some of the spelling errors — like “Ventrue” — and otherwise it’s great. Hit the jump for the big picture. Yeah — both literally and figuratively.
