National Geographic, National Geographic. (Head shake.) Tsk tsk. If you are going to do a photo special on Abu Dhabi, please label your supercars properly:
Shoppers in Marina Mall get a close look at a Ferrari on display.
That is, of course, a Lamborghini, not a Ferrari. That looks vaguely like the slick Lambo LP 550-2:

Minus the Italian racing stripe. . .
Ferrari and the Navy, not two entities that often go together. And if they do, my first thought would be paint color. But this little Italian naval flag below (right) is causing issue:
Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali and the offending navy flag on the right
Two members of the Italian Navy’s vessel protection department are currently awaiting trial following the death of two Indian fishermen in February.
As part of a detachment serving on board oil tanker Enrica Lexie, it is alleged by Indian authorities that the two marines shot and killed the fishermen in waters off the coast of southern India, believing them to be pirates.
The incident sparked a major diplomatic row between Italy and India, the subject of which has been raised this week in light of Ferrari’s statement posted on their website.
In sporting the flag on top of the chassis the team state: “Ferrari pays tribute to one of the outstanding entities of our country, also in the hope that the Indian and Italian authorities will soon find a solution to the situation currently involving two sailors from the Italian navy.”
I hope India and Ferrari and Italy all resolve their issues. And go about their naval ways.
The internet, it is amazing. I can stroll through the New York Auto Show without even getting up from my chair. What a great invention!
I see the new Dodge Challenger. Sadly, Yahoo has mislabeled it as a Charger. Easy mistake. Both begin with C, but the similarity ends there.
Now this is retro:
Staying on the Dodge label, why oh why, does the Viper look so amazing in this shot:
And so shoe-like schlubby in this one?
Has Porsche lost its mind? Why does the 2013 Porsche Boxster look like a Mazda Miata?
Uh oh. The 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S looks a little like a Miata also!
WIth the exception of the grill, the 2013 Mercede Benz SLK 250 looks like a Miata too!
Sometimes when I see Bentleys, I think they might be Chrysler 300s:
Why post this shrouded 2013 Honda Crosstour? It is not a Ferrari:
Oh no, another “smartcar.” This time a 2013 Scion (low) IQ:
Last car. The 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo. Consider this an exclamation mark!
Yahoo is moving around the pictures on me. Go here to see all the cars!
Yesh yesh, dish is what you need. A Maserati Kubang. Shake your head up and down wish me. And repeat: I need one of dem Maserati Kubangs. Yesh. Have a peek-a-boo:
First and foremost is confirmation that the Kubang will be built just down the road at Chrysler’s Jefferson North assembly plant. This confirms, if not overtly, that the Kubang will share its platform with the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Dodge Durango, which in turn share theirs with the newest Mercedes M-class. So this Masereep-Benz is somewhat of an automotive turducken. Maserati assures us that it will have its hand in the recipe, as its engineers will be responsible for the steering, brakes, and suspension. A next-gen Maserati V-8—likely a revision of the brand’s current engine family—will be built by Ferrari and paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Uh oh. Dish sounds like a recipe for disaster. Lotsh of cooks, far away kitchens. But shadly, yesh, I shtill want one. It’s ‘dat Ferrari fing.
Dish could be a glorioush train wreck. A turducken is half turd, after all. . .
This has got to hurt the pocketbooks and tear ducts of some car enthusiasts:
An outing of luxury sportscar enthusiasts in Japan ended in an expensive freeway pileup — smashing a stunning eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes likely worth more than $1 million together.
Crashed Ferrraris, Lamborghini, & Mercedes, Chugoku Expressway in Shimonoseki, JapanBut that was not the only sob story involving expensive red cars crashing. Ready your hankies yet again (or if you are in the body shop business, get the dent puller, tig welder, and patience ready.)
Ndamukong Suh lied about the Portand car accident in his 1970 Chevy Chevelle SSWhose car is that? Remember Ndamukong Suh?
Just after the accident happened at approximately 1 a.m. Saturday, Suh told Portland police that he was passing a taxi cab when he lost control of his 1970 Chevy Coupe and crashed into a tree. He told police that nobody in the car was injured, and no tickets or citations were given.
But two people in the car have since spoken to Portland TV station KGW, and their versions of the accident and its effects differ quite seriously from Suh’s version at the scene.
Sad. All those red cars. Gone. And Ndamukong Suh’s reputation. Also adios’d. I imagine he will talking to Roger, yet again.
