The third generation of Mercedes’ popular roadster, the SLK, is just around the corner, scheduled for a debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show next March to be exact. We’ve already seen hordes of spy shots, some of which have been very revealing, and Mercedes, too, has offered us a glimpse of the car, detailing its new Magic Sky Control...
The new 2012 BMW 6-Series Convertible turned out to be a no-show at this week’s 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show but that hasn’t stopped BMW from releasing full details for its luxurious new drop-top, which should go on sale early next year. While the previous generation 6-Series was by no means ugly, the styling of the new model is light...
The current E90 BMW 3-Series has been on the market since 2005, so it's only fitting that details about the next-gen model are beginning to circulate. Most agree that the next model will feature styling lifted, at least in part, from the Concept CS, though also expect to see a healthy dose of the new corporate styling debuted on the latest...
AMG and Italian motorbike manufacturer Ducati have announced that they will work closely together going into the future. The initial aim of the cooperation between the two performance firms is to develop common marketing activities but further down the track we could see the relationship develop further. The cooperation agreement was signed today...
Toyota has revealed the new Tesla-partnered RAV4 EV at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show today, the first of 35 demonstration vehicles that will lay the ground work for the eventual launch of a retail version in 2012. Developers of the RAV4 EV are hoping it will have range of 100 miles in actual road driving patterns, across a wide range of climates...
The new Sonata Hybrid has been getting most of the limelight in the Hyundai-Kia family but Kia has a few bright spots in the pipeline that will certainly be making their mark when it comes to production time. Just this month we saw a concept version of a potential Kia Forte hybrid vehicle and now we have news of a gasoline-electric version of the...
Lamborghini’s new lightweight ethos continues with the reveal today of the all-new Gallardo Spyder Performante LP 570-4, a stripped out and more hardcore version of the open-top Gallardo that’s set to scorch highways all across the country next summer. Essentially the Spyder version of the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera, or...
As Saab announced back in August, the 2011 9-4X just came out from behind the curtain at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. The live photos confirm the production model will closely resemble the concept we've seen before. So what is the new 9-4X? About what you'd expect, since it was co-developed with the Cadillac SRX before the split from General...
The affordable large car segment is starting to get just a little overcrowded, and in a time where customers all around the world are downsizing to smaller mid-size models, performance, fuel-economy and overall value is now more important than ever. South Korea’s entrants in this field have been winning plenty of accolades lately, especially...
The 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show is chock full of new cars, debuts, and concepts, but Subaru's Impreza Design Concept is sure to grab its share of attention. Aggressively styled but with just enough/not too much of the funky that often pervades the brand, the car points toward the possible future for the Impreza line. A four-door coupe, the Impreza...
The Los Angeles Auto Show is in full swing and the smell of stale coffee and flop sweat fill the air. But that's the media, not the manufacturers--they're still pulling hard, and the latest new model to grace the datastream is the 2012 BMW 650i Convertible. The only things we don't know about the car are EPA figures, final pricing, options, and...
Honda has been slow to the game when it comes to plug-in hybrids and all-electric vehicles but today at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show the automaker proved that it was not completely in the dark in this area. Honda unveiled a new version of its Fit compact car powered by an electric drivetrain, as well as a platform for a mid-size plug-in hybrid...
This one came way from left field. Or was it right field? Whichever way, for months we've known that some sort of Murano convertible was in the works. The bathtub-like convertible, based on Nissan's stylish mid-size crossover, might very well be the world's first all-wheel drive crossover convertible, as the automaker claims. But, the Nissan...
The refreshed 2012 Nissan GT-R made a surprise debut at the Paris Auto Show back in September, but the press preview of the LA show this week marks the new flagship super-coupe's North American debut. In addition to new sheetmetal, new colors, and a new wheel design, the 2012 Nissan GT-R has a big boost in power, bringing total output up to 530 hp...
On the eve of its Los Angeles Auto Show appearance—and six weeks or so after its Paris Auto Show debut—the British automaker gave comedian and late-night host Jay Leno an exclusive opportunity: He's the first person to drive the C-X75 on a public highway. Why Leno? The entertainer credits the Jaguar XK120 as having a role in his...
