In these days of rising fuel costs it's refreshing to see a new form of
motorsport where the race cars have no motors. Powered only by gravity,
each team has an equal chance since they all share a common power
source. Small groups of engineers from various automobile
factories--such as Audi, Volkswagen, Bentley, Mazda, Nissan, Volvo, GM
and others--designed many of the XGR cars.
Check out the XGR cars.

4. Movie Trailers
..................
In "X-Men: The Last Stand," the final chapter in the X-Men motion
picture trilogy, a "cure" for mutancy threatens to alter the course of
history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their
uniqueness--though it isolates and alienates them--or give up their
powers and become human.
The opposing viewpoints of mutant leaders Professor Charles Xavier
(Patrick Stewart), who preaches tolerance, and Magneto (Ian McKellen),
who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate
test--triggering the war to end all wars.
Find out what happens when "X-Men: The Last Stand" opens in theaters May
