As crossovers (aka demi-SUVs) go, the Range Rover Evoque isn’t the roomiest, or the most affordable, or even the most economical. But damn if it isn’t the coolest looking. Whether you pick the 3-door or the 5-door, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself looking back at it over your shoulder every time you walk away. The sinewy proportions, “chop top” greenhouse and bold surface detailing all work in concert to create one big, four-wheeled eye magnet.

But whether you buy an Evoque to see, be seen in or a combination of the two, you’ll still have to compete with other Evoque owners. Unless, of course, you invest in making your British soft roader stand out from the crowd of standouts. If you’ve been a semi-regular visitor to this site for the last year or so, you’ll know there’s already a bumper crop of body kits out there for the Evoque, and now an established modifier of the larger (and, as many purists will eagerly proclaim, real) Range Rovers is entering the market.

One of the most exciting new vehicles to be shown at last year’s Villa D’Este Concours was the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, a striking reimagining of the standard V12 Vantage. At the time, it was officially a concept, but the fact that an additional one was built for and competed in the Nürburgring 24 Hours seemed to indicate otherwise. Well, it didn’t take long after that for Aston Martin to come clean and say that it will build and sell a limited number of these Anglo-Italian bruisers.

Now Aston Martin has revealed photos and info on the final production version. And while the exterior styling (rendered in a combination of carbon fiber and hand-fabricated aluminum) is very much a derivative of the initial concept and competition vehicles, there’s considerably more polish inside and out.

Even though there are many (some, like us, might argue far too many) Americans who are obsessed with celebrities and every infinitesimal thing they do, we doubt there are many folks who wonder “What do celebrities do with their cars when they’re done with them?” The answer, of course, is that they usually sell them, be it to a dealer, friend, relative, agent, publicist or some other member or their inner circle. Sometimes, though, star cars and trucks escape to the real world, and sometimes they show up on eBay. But we can’t remember the last time a star was selling a vehicle on the perennially popular auction website himself or herself. Leave it to one Pamela Anderson (no relation) to be the exception to the rule.

The world’s favorite chesty Canuck is looking to unload her 2007 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged. This white-on-cream SUV is mostly stock, with a supercharged 4.2L V8 (borrowed from corporate sibling Jaguar) under the bonnet and belting out 400hp to a 6-speed automatic transmission and super sophisticated four-wheel-drive system. It won’t win any stoplight grands prix with the likes of a Cayenne Turbo S or Grand Cherokee SRT8, but it’s more than capable of getting out of its own way. Plus it will get over damn near any terrain short of molten lava.
