A supercar dealer called Refined Marques revealed its first bespoke creation at the end of last year, a $1.3 million cabriolet based on the Mercedes-AMG G63. Born from a suggestion made by his then-five-year-old son, the dealer's CEO, Ahmed Al Bakry, decided that it would be more practical and more fun to have a drop-top G63 with suicide doors to enable easier ingress to the second row.

From the April 1983 issue of Car and Driver. We refer to this mighty machine as the Atomic Blueberry. This seems entirely appropriate for a car of its capacity and coloring that will easily attain 139 mph. Its color is officially referred to by Mercedes-Benz as Lapis Blue, a deep, metallic shade that alters with the light, varying mystically from an almost bright blue to navy blue to royal purple. The bumpers and the lower body are painted to match, and the trim is all black, laced around the gleaming body like the dark markings of a perfectly ripened blueberry.

It’s a strange time to be an auto enthusiast. As an outpouring of all-electric models hits the market, long-standing nameplates that were once mainstays of our automotive landscape are falling to the wayside on what feels like a weekly basis. With the arrival of the next-generation Audi A5, we bow our heads in remembrance of the fallen as the German automaker discontinues the A4 sedan in favor of a slimmed-down car platform. While we mourn the loss of yet another low-slung gas-powered car, Audi has given us plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the code-named B10 A5.

For many years, V-6 engines were the basic option that nobody really wanted when a V-8 upgrade was available. Van and truck fleets loved them because they were cheaper to buy and cheaper to run with their superior fuel economy. When it came to sports cars, however, people coveted the V-8 models at the top of the range, not the slower entry-level models. They still sold well because not everyone could afford the top-end, most powerful models. Some would settle for the same sporty look as the cars they wanted but without the performance to match.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home.
