With talk of Cadillac looking to a new S-Class-level sedan and its formidable CTS-V range grabbing much of the spotlight, you might not think there's much room left within the brand for newcomers, but you'd be wrong. The ATS is on its way, and it may be joined by a new soft-top convertible, too. At least, if the latest reports hold water. The ATS...
Mercedes-Benz only took the wraps off its facelifted S-Class range in 2009 but development on the next-generation of the flagship sedan is well underway as revealed by this latest prototype, captured by photographers as it was undergoing testing in Europe. Under the quilted camouflage, the images reveal the new LED daytime running lights and...
We’ve always been fans of the Gumball concept here at MotorAuthority--driving fast cars across countries while hanging out with celebrities and generally having a good time. In fact, we even got in on the action at the similar Fireball Run right here in the States last year, but the Gumball is the original and still the best. The long wait...
Germany's DTM race series is coming to the U.S. in 2013, but there's no reason to wait until it gets here to enjoy the show. Especially not when the 2012 C63 AMG is the field's official safety car, shown off here in its be-lighted guise--and now with video. The previous C63 AMG was also chosen for safety car duties back in 2008, so the new C63...
We hope you like the new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle as much as we do because we have a new video of the car featuring our own editor Marty Padgett conducting a quick walkaround at recent 2011 New York Auto Show. Sharper handling, refined styling and a much more premium interior are the main improvements implemented in the new Beetle, though...
If you've ever wondered what it might be like to suddenly stop being the least-known person on the world's best-known automotive TV show, Ben Collins is probably the best person to ask. That’s because he was the man behind the mask--or should we say helmet--of The Stig, Top Gear’s tame race car driver who was in charge of wringing the...
Since its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Mazda has been hinting at production of its attractive Minagi compact crossover concept. And at the recent 2011 New York Auto Show Mazda finally confirmed that a production version of the concept was in the pipeline and destined to be called the CX-5. We now have images of the first prototypes for the...
The third installment of the Transformers movies is only a couple of months away, July 1 to be exact, and in the lead up to its arrival the third trailer has been released. This latest trailer is more than two and a half minutes long and reveals some very tasty tidbits. First and foremost we get to see what is almost certain to be the new baddie...
According to Mercedes-Benz design chief Gorden Wagener, the lines of the stunningly good Concept A-Class revealed at the recent Shanghai and New York auto shows are virtually identical to what we’ll see on the final production version due late next year. “What you see is realistic,” he revealed during an interview Autocar...
A few years back there were rumblings that GM was looking to axe its Cadillac Escalade SUV and replace it with a crossover model based on the Lambda platform, a plan devised in response to the financial crisis at the time and a spike in world oil prices. Work on the new seven-seat Cadillac crossover had even commenced but then GM entered...
There's almost no point--practical or otherwise--to having a high-performance street truck, but that doesn't make it any less fun. And this truck looks like serious fun. Sporting a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 with a custom supercharger package sending 500 horsepower to the wheels, this truck is not for the faint of heart. Not is it one to shame supercars...
If you're unfamiliar with Alex Roy, or his book, The Driver, you should remedy that deficiency ASAP. He's a bit of a legend and certainly a personality, and his exploits are the stuff of many a gearhead's dreams. But soon you'll be able to emulate his particular brand of insanity without all the risk, hard work, or time, thanks to Need For Speed...
Cars were one of the original homes of the mobile phone, and as technology has advanced, their integration has become ever closer. Today, BMW announced integration of Pandora streaming Internet radio service in all 2011 model-year cars equipped with the BMW Apps option, bringing the integration to its next logical step. Pandora is the first...
Fans of the movie Vanishing Point will recall that a '70 Dodge Challenger R/T was the ride of choice for Kowalski, the movie's one-named hero. Well, one Dodge dealer has decided to pay homage to the film and the car by building a very limited-edition replica with the current Challenger. By very limited, we mean all are spoken for. Sorry. The...
No one needs an Aston Martin in their lives, but life is a damn sight better when you have one. This is what all the great philosophers--Deepak Chopra, Dr. Andrew Weil, Paul John Teutel--meant by enlightenment. I'm cruising some little Spanish town with my own senior-citizen section cheering me on from a park bench, in Spanish, which means I'm...
