The 2012 Cadillac CTS comes onto the market late this summer with a few subtle changes to keep it fresh against the competition. Look too fast and you’ll barely notice the changes but delve a little deeper you'll see that the latest CTS range gets a new grille and a refined Cadillac Wreath & Crest logo. Other changes are skin deep. The...
It's still almost a year from reaching production, but the 2012 BMW M6 Convertible has been captured in testing by our spy photographers, this time at a secret location in Germany. And it may be packing up to 600 horsepower from a tuned-up version of the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 found under the hoods of the X5 M and X6 M and recently revealed...
We first heard about the possibility of a new model from Infiniti dubbed the JX last August when it was revealed the premium Nissan division had trademarked the JX name. Now, on the eve of the 2011 New York Auto Show, Infiniti has released a new teaser of an upcoming luxury crossover that will be called the JX. The new crossover is set to go on...
Volvo’s new owner Geely is keen to reposition the Swedish automaker as a ‘Tier 1’ luxury brand able to compete with the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz, though such a task is much easier said than done. Acura is one such company that’s often stated reaching Tier 1 status as its primary goal but has still failed to deliver...
Audi has already given us a preview of its next-generation 2013 A3, as well as a future electrified e-tron variant using the shell of the current model. Now the automaker has combined these two elements, forming the latest A3 Sedan e-tron Concept, which has made its world debut today at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show. The four-seat sedan integrates...
Making its debut today at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show is the all-new Subaru XV concept, a compact crossover based on the same underpinnings as the upcoming 2012 Subaru Impreza. You may recall that Subaru already sells an XV variant of the current Impreza in select markets and it looks as though a new generation is in the works. In the U.S. it will...
The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, the first global version of the popular mid-size Chevy, has finally been revealed, first at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show and just a day later at the 2011 New York Auto Show. That’s right, the new Malibu will be a truly global model, sold in nearly 100 countries in six continents and providing customers from Shanghai...
When it comes to a Rolls-Royce, the seat of choice is not the one behind the steering wheel but rather the one behind that. Rolls-Royces are designed to be driven in, not driven, so of course you would want the maximum amount of legroom for yourself and other passengers. Not surprisingly then, even a car as big as the new Rolls-Royce Ghost, which...
The latest Concept A-Class from Mercedes-Benz is the clearest indication yet as to what the automaker’s next-generation A-Class will look like, and the good news is that the production version of this one is likely to hit U.S. shores. Revealed today at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show, and again soon at the 2011 New York Auto Show in just a few...
Every once in a while, being in the presence of history stuns you to silence. Standing beside the massive yellow and black 1951 long wheelbase Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith is one such experience. With a body built by the English coachbuilder Barker, the car harkens back to an earlier era. Wire wheels in black lift the car from the ground to long...
Spa-Francorchamps is often voted the world's best race track by racing drivers in many championships, from Clubman’s series all the way to Formula One. It is a historic circuit that since its inception in the 1920's, twists and turns its way through the beautiful hilly environs of the Belgian Ardennes Forest. This undulating countryside...
Mike Conway's story belongs in Hollywood, just a short trip up a couple of freeways from the 37th annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. Remember Conway, who suffered terrible injuries on the last lap of the 2010 Indianapolis 500? The Brit spent the balance of the year recovering from back and leg injuries and getting ready for the 2011 season...
If you're looking to jump on the latest advanced powertrain bandwagon, it won't be all that expensive: the BMW ActiveE is going on lease this fall for $499 per month on a 24 month contract with $2,250 due at signing. Only 700 will be available, so competition for the cars will be fierce. The ActiveE lease program is also only coming to New York...
The world was supposed to wait another day and a half for the unveiling of the 2011 Chrysler 200 S Sedan and Convertible, but the secret was apparently too hot to hang on to: Chrysler has released the information on the cars early, along with a small selection of photos. You may recall a concept version of the 200S from the 2011 Detroit Auto...
European luxury and sports car makers are no strangers to four-cylinders--they just rarely bring them to the U.S. BMW changes that this year, however, with the introduction of the four-cylinder Z4 sDrive28i. Sporting 2.0-liters of displacement and a twin-scroll turbocharger, it packs 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The new twin-scroll...
