Maybe because the rotors had worn all the way through? See the rest of the pics at BangShift!
As Jen mentioned on Thursday, we will see a Holden Commodore-based Chevy SS in NASCAR next season. And now Chevy has officially confirmed that at long last, we are getting a true V8, RWD Chevy sedan. From the Chevy press release: "The limited production version of the Chevrolet SS will be a 2014 model and will arrive in dealer showrooms in late 2013. It is the first time in 17 years that Chevrolet will offer a rear-wheel-drive sedan for sale in the United States." Well, it's about time! The "limited production" part makes me a tad worried about pricing, but we'll see...
Remember the super hot-looking Advanced Tourer Concept revealed at last year's Tokyo Motor Show? Well, Motor Trend is claiming that it was actually an early look at the next-generation WRX/STI, which will have a front fascia and overall side profile much like the Tourer concept. The new WRX/STI will ride on a heavily modified version of the Impreza platform, but will otherwise have little in common with the Impreza, as Subaru seeks to disassociate the two model lines. Expect power to come from a 2.0-liter direct-injected turbo boxer four banger. Motor Trend also reports that the new WRX/STI "should surface in 2015." What??? I didn't think we'd have to wait that long. Read the full article at Motor Trend.

According to The Detroit Free Press, manufacturers are looking forward to ditching CD players since they are heavy and take up so much valuable real estate. I still have tape decks in two cars of my three cars. My 2007 Mustang GT has a CD changer, but I prefer to just plug my phone into the aux and stream Pandora or Spotify. How about you?
