Pretty darn sweet if you ask us.

Trained stuntmen are behind the wheel in a (somewhat) controlled environment… Their skills are base on real life scenarios and training though, similar to the ones taught by the Bondurant Protection Program. Check out an episode of The List below for a glimpse of the training.

Yes, it is a tough act for Old Spice to follow the hugely successful The man your man could smell like campaign (“I’m on a horse”).
We’re not sure if this new direction will do the job, but it’s pretty creative and weird. And there’s a cool motorcycle.

Give us your thoughts!

Electric cars are back. Nissan LEAF, Chevrolet Volt, Tesla Roadster and soon, Tesla Model S, along with a slew of new vehicles from big and small companies, are shaping the way for the automotive future. That’s what Chris Paine, the director of the award-winning Who Killed The Electric Car is proposing you to discover in his new documentary Revenge of the Electric Car. The movie was released last week in LA and will be shown in fine theaters around the country in the coming weeks. Check out the schedule and get more info about the movie on the official website and watch the trailer below!

Here at Cars + Movies, we’re quite fond of Adam Carolla’s “The Car Show” on Speed TV. Fun cast, cool cars and overall pretty well done. It’s not Top Gear, but they’re finding a good pace and tone. In episode 8, they pitched Magnum PI’s 308 GTS Ferrari against… a V6 Toyota Camry and the Back To The Future DMC Delorean against a, oh man… a Toyota Sienna. So… a Ferrari against the most vanilla car on the road today and an 80′s icon with gull-wing doors against a minivan. Ahem… Sounds like the Toyotas stand no chance, right? Well, think again. Or if, like us, you’re not that much into thinking, you can just watch the video after the jump.

The good guys from SubaruWRXFan have caught another shoot from Dark Knight Rises. In this one, you can see the Batpod really well, along with a Tumbler and some army big rig. Anne Hataway’s stunt double will surely make her look good in the movie… Kudos too her for handling such an unusual vehicle. It does not look comfy. Not one bit.

The last close up might be unnecessary, but I’m sure most of you won’t complain…

Watch the video after the jump!

That’s one documentary we’re looking forward to check out… He was an incredible driver, a warrior of the track with a sometimes explosive temper.

The beautiful Anne Hathaway will be playing Selina Kyle in the next Batman movie, and she gets to ride the Batpod for that. Now, that basically means that she’s the next Catwoman, except that the production has been avoided calling her character by that name. Her role will be less raunchy than the previous versions, and more oriented towards action and badass-ness. So less shiny vynil skin-tight outfits and kitty ears, more techie goggles and tactical suits. We like. How about you?

The third episode of the rebooted Batman franchise, The Dark Night Rises, is in the works, and two video bloggers have caught the batmobile roaming the streets of Pittsburgh. Thanks to DoctaM3 and SubaruWRXFan for being at the right time in the right place.
