Seeing as how Toyota was forced to issue one of the biggest recalls in history due, largely, to faulty accelerator pedals, you can be sure that the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) will thoroughly investigate any other such case. As such, it has announced yesterday that all 167,000 2007 Dodge Caliber models will be examined, as recent claims have appeared that point to a faulty accelerator pedal that, after being depressed…

The German tuner Hamann is known best for its tuning programs for BMW cars, so this comes somehow as a surprise. Because their latest creation is a tuning package for the Fiat 500 but it looks like Hamann didn’t take it really serious, because the program doesn’t match the cool BMW programs the German company got us used to. Called the Hamann Sportivo, the package features a 30 mm lowered suspension, new 17-inch alloy wheels, new sp…
