2011 Lincoln MKZ HybridThe last we heard, Lincoln was delaying the introduction of its redesigned MKZ sedan from an original launch in early 2012 to sometime closer to the end of that same year.

2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-DesignWhile Volvo's former R models—like the iconic 850 T5 R—included a host of performance enhancements, the company's R-Design models have offered a different type of performance kick, more focused on look and feel than on zero-to-60 times. For 2012, R-Design models are offered for the C30, S60, XC60, and XC90. each of the available...

2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design First Drive Take one look at the 2011 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design—especially its extensive badging, different trims and details, and somewhat lower stance—and combined with the moniker you might guess that Volvo has added what's essentially a sport appearance package to the S60. But it's much more extensive than that. With a higher-output engine, a...

Mercedes-Benz wind tunnel climate testingTesting vehicles in Arctic winter or Death Valley summer conditions is, typically, limited to those places and seasons.

Chevrolet Camaro airbags deploy during drift eventWe refuse to call mostly understeering around in a circle "drifting," but that doesn't lessen the comedic value of this driver's ham-fisted attempt: midway through his run, the side airbags deploy.

Cadillac Converj ConceptWhen it first debuted at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, the Cadillac Converj Concept confirmed Cadillac knows how to style a sporty, luxurious hybrid--but despite talk from GM, including then-product-supremo Bob Lutz, few in the industry expected it to reach production. Now, two years after the plan was canned, it's back in the limelight--and it'll...

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport We all know the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is one of the most expensive cars in the world. Actually, make that the most expensive car in the world, or at least the most expensive new car to ever be advertised.
