FOR MORE AUTOMOTIVE NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com In the world of celebrity, a few names stick out as die-hard car enthusiasts. Jay Leno and Patrick Dempsey immediately spring to mind, but so should Adam Carolla. Any guy who hosts a weekly car-focused podcast, races vintage Datsuns and whose garage includes a Lamborghini Miura, has to be truly in love with the automobile. Heck, his last name even shares phonetic similarities to a certain Toyota. Kelley Blue Book's Micah Muzio recently sat down with Adam Carolla in his recording studio/warehouse to discuss Adam's interest in cars, vintage racing, Top Gear USA and many other topics.

FOR MORE AUTO SHOW VIDEOS & NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Introduced at the 2010 New York International Auto show, the MINI Countryman is arguably the most radical interpretation to date of the original MINI philosophy. Remaining fairly true to the MINI Crossover Concept shown at Paris in 2008, the production Countryman embodies a unique visual interpretation of the fundamental MINI cues -- which display a slightly more aggressive character on the hotter Cooper S version than on the standard Cooper model. Built on its own unique platform, the Countryman also will be the first MINI to ever offer all-wheel drive as an option -- and the first to be manufactured in Graz, Austria, and not at the main plant in Oxford, England.

FOR MORE AUTO SHOW VIDEOS & NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com We like the Acura TSX, we like wagons, and -- surprise, surprise - we like the 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon. Acura says the only powertrain available at launch will be the four-cylinder engine/five-speed automatic transmission combo, but we wouldn't be surprised to see the V6 make an appearance at some point (we're not so sure about the TSX sedan's available six-speed manual). The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon is scheduled to arrive this fall, and we expect it to start right around $30000. For more new car reviews, interviews and automotive news visit www.kbb.com today.
FOR MORE AUTO SHOW VIDEOS & NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com With the introduction of their new subcompact just over the horizon, Mazda used the backdrop of the New York International Auto Show to show what a racier modified version of the MAZDA2 might look like.

In this video Derek Jenkins -- the man responsible for the 2EVIL concept -- discusses its racy and stylish bits with Kelley Blue Books Jack Nerad.

FOR MORE AUTOMOTIVE NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Offering truly impressive acceleration and handling, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage is more than just a pretty face.

FOR MORE AUTOMOTIVE NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Say the name Aston Martin and images of stylish, sophisticated and exclusive driving machines likely come to mind.

Unlike this reporter, you might not be old enough to remember when the 1985 BMW 735i sedan made its mark by offering 218 horsepower from its 3.4-liter in-line six cylinder engine. Now BMW is returning the 7 Series to its six-cylinder roots with the 2011 BMW 740i and 740Li that will feature BMWs EfficientDynamics philosophy of ''virtual displacement.''

FORMORE AUTO SHOW VIDEOS & NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Volvo C30 BEV Concept. Enhancing a previously introduced concept vehicle and showing it again at another major motor show is not a typical scenario, but Volvo is not a typical car company, so it is not surprising that the Swedish company has continued to refine the electric vehicle concept it first unveiled in Frankfurt last year. This iteration of the simply named Volvo C30 BEV BEV for battery electric vehicle offers significant tweaks to both the interior and the drivetrain.

Rep. Roscoe Bartlett joined a Bipartisan coalition of Senators and Members along with more than 100 auto dealers from across the country to discuss the progress of the Automobile Dealer Economic Rights Restoration Act of 2009 (HR 2743). Rep. Bartlett had held a news conference on June 2 with Jack Fitzgerald, Tammy Darvish and other Maryland dealers at the Fitzgerald Auto Mall in Frederick, Maryland to protest Chryslers cancellation of franchise contracts. He joined a bipartisan coalition at a June 10 news conference at the Capitol to announce the introduction of the bill by Congressmahn Maffei. To date, the Act has more than 240 co-sponsors in the House. Senator Charles Grassley has introduced a companion bill in the Senate. This is part of a bipartisan effort by the Congress to ensure the Rule of Law prevails to protect the private property rights of auto dealers. The auto dealerships targeted for closing are all independently-owned and operated small businesses and pillars of our communities. These men and women deserve better than the capricious closings by Chrysler and specious claims that eliminating or alienating their best customers will help Chrysler or GM, our economy, consumers or taxpayers.
