Engineering firm Johnson Controls has unveiled a new concept at this week’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show that’s described as a preview of technologies we can expect to see in vehicle interiors in the near future. Combining intelligent packaging solutions with sustainable motoring concepts, the vehicle interior concept, dubbed ie3, is one of...
Saab has announced that it will be teaming up with Swiss tuner Hirsch Performance to launch a range of aftermarket products, including power upgrades, for its 9-3 and 9-5 models this spring. The new parts will be available for all 2007 to 2011 model year Saab 9-3s and all 2010 and 2011 Saab 9-5s, and initially will be available only in the U.S...
The Wagoneer name dates back to the 1960s and was used over the years on a line of SUVs from various marques, with many pundits describing the vehicles as some of the first upscale off-roaders. While most other automakers, including luxury SUV stalwart Land Rover, were building relatively utilitarian models, the Wagoneer models were coming with...
MINI seems to have a knack for unveiling cool concept cars that eventually make it to production. It started with the original Clubman concept and then the Crossover concept, which progressed into the Countryman, and more recently we saw the Coupe and Roadster concepts, both of which have been confirmed for production. Now, MINI has unveiled the...
Ford's U.S. lineup is about to change in a very significant way. And as the automaker emphasized in its Detroit Auto Show press conference, with several high-volume small car models expected to arrive this year and next, you'll soon see plenty of smaller and greener alternatives in Ford's lineup. But to dealerships that have long subsisted on...
The new 2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe may not have lived up to all the hype, on paper at least, but the car still has a sweltering look, especially in the bright orange paintwork BMW loves to show it in. The car made its official world debut today at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, drawing most of the attention on BMW’s stands despite sitting just a...
While the new hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the 2012 Ford C-Max may have grabbed most of the attention, they won’t be on sale for another year at least. The regular gasoline model, which is capable of seating up to seven, will be on sale by the end of the year, however, and it is this model that we are taking a closer look at now...
With its new-generation 6-Series, BMW has taken the unusual route of showing off the Convertible model first, rather than the Coupe, presenting the svelte drop-top today at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Although we pretty much knew what the new 2012 BMW 6-Series was going to look like thanks to the unveiling of last year’s Concept 6-Series...
Volkswagen surprised few by sticking with the Passat name for its U.S.-specific mid-size sedan, which up until this past week had been going by the name 'New Mid-Size Sedan' or 'NMS' for short. The 2012 Volkswagen Passat sedan will start around $20,000 and offer a new take on the once-popular nameplate. Going up against the likes of the Toyota...
Buick’s foray into the burgeoning compact luxury segment has made its official debut today in the form of the new 2012 Buick Verano. The car is Buick’s third new model in the past two years and its first compact in decades, so understandably it managed to grab a lot of attention at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show where it made its debut...
With new versions of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5-Series launched over the past year or two, Audi’s entrant in the mid-size executive sedan segment, the A6, was starting to get a little long in the tooth compared with its rivals. However, that’s all set to change as the brand new 2012 Audi A6 has finally made its debut, being...
The last we heard of Tesla’s upcoming Model S all-electric sedan was that the car was in an ‘Alpha’ build stage, where akin to the software industry the Model S is in its first rough draft of the final product. Today at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show we got to see a bit more of the Model S than we bargained for, with Tesla showcasing...
Ford this morning introduced its sleek new Vertrek concept, which hints at the look of a future Ford mass-market crossover. Building on the European Kuga and eschewing any semblance of the Escape that it might replace—and looking more like a taller version of the 2012 Ford Focus five-door than a traditional utility vehicle—the Vertrek...
Looking almost like a Nissan Juke without the extra side of ugly, the 2011 Hyundai Curb concept brings off the compact crossover coupe theme with a futuristic grace and Hyundai's new yet already characteristic style. These live photos show it's not just interesting in carefully-lit studio shots. If the Curb were to be built, it would come out...
The Hyundai Veloster is as much an exercise in "why not?" as it is in "why" so don't ask yourself too many questions when you look at these live photos. But beware if you're prone to neurasthenically-induced seizures. For the full details on the 2012 Veloster (and some considerably tamer paint jobs) check out our preview here.
