2014 Chevy Silverado High Country coming this fall

Chevy is building a truck to compete with the Western-themed Big Horn and King Ranch pickups from Ram and Ford. “Like a finely crafted saddle or pair of custom-fitted boots, the 2014 Silverado High Country embodies rugged luxury -- craftsmanship, authenticity and functionality.” Yee haw, we guess? The 2014 High Country comes in crew cab form with a chrome grille and horizontal bars, body-color front and rear bumpers, 20-inch wheels and all-season tires.

Audi A6 allroad 3.0 TDI is the five millionth Audi with quattro 4WD

The first Audi qauttro hit the headlines in 1980 and now – 33 years later – Audi has produced its five millionth car with AWD – an A6 Allroad. It’s thirty years since Audi became the first mainstream car maker to offer a four wheel drive road car when the Audi quattro hit the road, offering a (certainly for then) fulsome 200PS with the added reassurance of four wheel drive for added grip. True, others had flirted with 4WD road cars before Audi made it mainstream, such as Jensen with the FF in the 1960s, but Audi’s bold move was a real first for a mainstream maker, even if the Audi quattro was not exactly an entry-level model.
