James Dean: Porsche 356 Super Speedster


...Classic Celebrity Car Coolness...

James Dean
1955 Porsche 356 Super Speedster

James Dean, to this day, is recognized as being one of the most iconic cool guys in history. James Dean owned several Porsche's, but his everyday driver was his 1955 Porsche 356 Super Speeder, and in the following pictures, we see James Dean posing with his equally iconic Porsche 356 convertible.









No Rear View Mirrors

Notice in all of the photos of James Dean's Porsche 356, there are no rear view mirrors, which explains why in the next two photos, why he had to look backwards when driving in reverse.

Sean Connery Porsche 356


...Classic Celebrity Car Coolness...

Sean Connery 
James Bond Actor Driving a Porsche 356
Driving through London in 1964

Sean Connery is pictured below in his Porsche 356 in 1964 driving through the cobblestone streets of Wavel Mews, in West Hampstead, London, England. Sean Connery was considered to be the coolest actor on earth since he had recently released Dr. No (1962), From Russia With Love (1963), and Goldfinger (1964)

In an ironic twist, James Bond's character drove an Aston Martin, while the man who played the James Bond character, ironically drove a Porsche 356, which, of course, was the predecessor to the Porsche 911.

All-New Mercedes-Benz GL SUV



All-New Mercedes-Benz GL SUV

Mercedes-Benz just formally showcased the completely redesigned Mercedes-Benz GL which they dubbed "The S Class of SUV's." I have to say I think the all-new GL is an absolute winner. Ironically, it share the same chassis as the recently introduced Mercedes-Benz M Class SUV, but the GL is wider and over a foot longer.

Consumer Reports Ranks Lexus LS 460L as Best Car Made in 2012


Consumer Reports & J.D. Powers
Rank Lexus LS 460L as Best Car Made in 2012



My favorite car of all time is the Lexus LS 460, and I will be writing much more about it in the future. Apparently Consumer Reports thinks the same thing, and here is what they had to say:

"Not all cars are created equal, and we have the data to prove it. Consumer Reports puts each vehicle through more than 50 individualized tests and evaluations to come out with a road test score that determines each vehicle’s Rating. This number represents how well a vehicle performs in a variety of areas including braking, acceleration, fuel economy, comfort, and cargo space among others. Overall test scores are presented on a 100-point scale and we list the best- and worst- scoring models below."
