This is one insane Mad Max-style Nissan Silvia. The car was dreamed up by Sataomi Nakawatase with a tribute to Japanese robots, military tanks, old factory walls and California license plates. The Silvia is fitted with a Greddy turbo, Stance Japan suspension and Mickey Thompson wheels.

Guess what’s the biggest news at the New York Auto show. No, it’s not the new Ferrari or a new Lamborghini. And no, it’s not about how fast a car is going from 0 to 60mph, but instead, it’s the vacuum cleaner installed inside the new 2014 Honda Odyssey. The HondaVac is going to be included in the Odyssey Touring Elite and can run for eight minutes when the car is off and longer when the engine is running. This is also a dry vac, so as long as your kids don’t spill their favorite soda on the way to Costco, you’ll have a very clean interior.

Now that is a garage I would love to walk into – five of the most iconic Batmobiles all in one place. My favorite has always been Michael Keaton’s ride in Tim Burton’s Batman. The curves on that car blended perfectly with the gothic theme throughout the movie. Looking at it now, it still holds up. The other two Batmobiles afterwards were kind of cheesy, until Christopher Nolan’s Tumbler came along with its industrial stylings, and tore up the blueprint.

With the apocalypse so close at hand, it is comforting to know that our car companies has our back. Hyundai might soon introduce the new zombie survival machine equipped with the state of the art CB radio. I’m not sure how you will fuel this thing but at least you will get great mileage for every gallon you salvage. I wonder if these will come in different colors …
