The 2012 Audi A7 is one of several curvier, more exciting luxury fastbacks. But while the BMW 5-Series GranTurismo and Acura ZDX both put on a brawny, taller guise and the Mercedes CLS continues to only tease (it has a sedan's trunklid and deck), the A7 is all car and all hatchback—making the base Porsche Panamera its closest rival...
If you've got a passion for movie cars and a bank account that's in the black, you might be interested in a handful of auctions taking place this week and next. On the blocks: replicas of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Batmobile, plus the original -- and only -- Pink Panther "Panthermobile". You might recall that one of the original Chitty Chitty...
We already have a pretty good indication as to what the upcoming 2013 Ford B-Max will look like thanks to the unveiling of the almost production ready B-Max Concept at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. However, what we don’t know is whether the B-Max will be coming to the U.S. One strong indicator that the tall-riding mini may come to the U.S. was...
Volvo has shown a number of ecological concepts and prototypes in the recent past, with everything from biofuels to battery powered electrics and fuel cell range-extenders, and even flywheel technology coming under the spotlight.

Audi is presenting three new S models at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show next month, two of which, the new S8 and S7 Sportback, we’ve already seen. The third S model is the new 2013 Audi S6, which will be making its debut in both sedan and Avant wagon bodystyles but is only destined for sale in the U.S. as a sedan. The new S6 is scheduled to go...
The Audi A7 has only been in showrooms for a short while, but the model we’ve been waiting for is still almost a year out from its sales debut. We are, of course, referring to the new Audi S7, which is set to go on sale in Europe in the spring of 2012 and should arrive in U.S. showrooms shortly after as a 2013 model. The svelte four-door...
The 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show may still be two weeks away, but what fun would it be if automakers waited until the show to reveal all their wares? Audi has revealed the new 2012 S8, and the sporty four-door proves why it's Audi's S flagship. The S8 shares the same twin-turbo V-8-engine TSFI engine with its jointly revealed siblings--the S6 and...

Porsche has barely gotten the wraps off the 2012 911 and it's already jumping to the next best thing. Rumors of a mid-level Porsche supercar have been frothing for nearly a year now.

Officially, there’s no such thing as a 2012 Hyundai Azera. At least not yet, since the car is scheduled to make its official debut at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. Between now and November, however, Hyundai wants customers to build their own Azera and answer a few questions about their upcoming automotive purchases. Hyundai is trying...
