THIS MATCHED PAIR OF 1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONAL COUPES IS UP FOR GRABS

Lot #1307 and #1307.1 at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale sale will be auctioned as a pair this Thursday, January 17. Known as "The Twinz," the two identical 1987 Buick Grand Nationals were built one after the other, optioned exactly the same, and were never sold as new cars. According to our friends at Hot Rod, who have the full story on these Turbo Regal twins, the cars were ordered by a family Buick dealership and kept in the showroom until the business shuttered. The owner's son eventually took the cars home and stored them in a barn for a majority of the last 30-plus years, which helps explain the low miles and time capsule condition. The auction house reports that one has less than 600 original miles while the other has fewer than 900. One car even has the original brake switch still installed, which likely means it never saw a GM service department after it was driven home, as that part was recalled back in 1987. Both cars wear their original window stickers and come with all factory documentation.

2020 JEEP GLADIATOR FIRST LOOK: THIS IS NO SCRAMBLER How do you make MotorTrend's 2019 SUV of the Year-winning  Jeep Wrangler  even better? Give it a matching pickup. Into the forum enters the Gladiator. They may look like bookends but  Jeep  executives are clear: this is no Scrambler. Past Scramblers were Wranglers with a small bed whereas the original Gladiator in 1963 was a true pickup, and that is the model for the 2020 truck.   VIEW 142 PHOTOS Jeep loyalists have clamored for a resurrection of the pickup since the '86-'92 Comanche. The product team's mission was to develop a competitive midsize pickup with the look and capability of a Wrangler. It took longer to bring a crew cab to fruition, but the end result was deserving of the Gladiator name, said Tim Kuniskis, head of the Jeep brand in North America. The Scrambler is not coming back. Built in the same Toledo complex as the Wrangler, the Gladiator's unique frame is 31 inches longer than ...

Scoop: Honda Breeze (Honda CR-V twin) exterior leaked

Scoop: Honda Breeze (Honda CR-V twin) exterior leaked The Chinese market is one of the core markets for the automakers considering 25% of the world's new cars are sold in China. In order to make the best out of it, companies often sell the same cars with two different names and styling in order to grow the volumes and maximize profits. In the latest, Honda has created a twin model of the CR-V, called 'Breeze'. Honda has been selling  a number of twin models in China  under two joint ventures, namely GAC-Honda and Dongfeng-Honda. While the original Honda CR-V is sold by Dongfeng Honda, the Honda Breeze will be sold by Guangzhou Honda.
