2011 Hyundai EquusOne of the Hyundai Equus' prime marketing points (though the car would sell itself without it, in our estimation) is going away: the free iPad owner's manual will no longer be included with the car, according to a report. Ads for the Equus have touted the free iPad with installed interactive Equus owner's manual app pretty heavily, but starting...

Bentley engineThe last we heard Bentley was ruling out the development of a diesel model, not because modern diesel engines weren’t refined enough but because demand for such models was low in key markets like the U.S. and Japan. That was when former boss Frank-Josef Paefgen was around. Since then Wolfgang Durheimer has taken over the show, and he’s...

2012 Fiat 500The 2012 Fiat 500 is no stranger to the enthusiast. We've been waiting for it for years. But now that it's finally here, is it worth the wait? Mostly, yes.

This just in: not everyone is convinced they're better. According to Mazda, the good ol' hydraulic automatic—especially with a...
