James Bond car chases – 50 years in 2 compilation videos

With the James Bond film franchise celebrating 50 years, we have two videos of Bond car chases to enjoy. For those of us who grew up with Sean Connery and Aston Martin as the Bond ingredients that matter, nothing is better than James Bond in an Aston Martin DB5.

Audi announces 2015 A3 pricing

Audi's announced a price that takes a direct shot across the bow of rival Mercedes-Benz' CLA: $29,900.
