Last week we first heard that AMG and Italian motorbike manufacturer Ducati were forming a partnership, initially surrounding the cooperation over common marketing activities, but with any such deal there is always the potential for the relationship to develop further. While such a possibility may be several years away--at the earliest--there's no...
While some automakers are still reeling from the affects of the recent global financial crisis, and others resorting to drastic measures to raise needed capital, the juggernaut that is the Volkswagen Group seems to only be going from strength to strength. The company has announced today that it plans to invest a whopping $70.5 billion over the...
We know the stunning design of the Mazda Shinari concept will influence the automaker’s future models--we got that confirmation from Mazda’s chief designer, Ikuo Maeda, back in September--but now we have a clue as to when that will first happen. Unveiled to the public for the first time at last week’s 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show...

Press launches are odd things, especially when you're dealing with a 556-horsepower super-wagon on a track you've never driven before. Limited time, restricted driving conditions, and unfamiliarity can conspire to put more noise in the signal you're getting from the car than you can filter out.

Needless to say, the car turned out to be very impressive. To find out just how impressive, including a video of MotorAuthority behind the wheel on track, check out the...

The Blue Oval is calling on its Facebook fans, more specifically, the Ford Mustang Facebook community, of which there are more than 940,000 members, to come up with a new name for the performance package.

Pontiac may be long gone but some enthusiasts have been clamoring for at least one of the brand’s cars to be rebadged and sold under another GM brand: the Australian-built Pontiac G8. Designed and constructed by GM's Holden subsidiary Down Under, the G8 had been rumored for re-branding as a Chevrolet Caprice but money troubles and strict...
Ask Rhys Millen or Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima if they'd like a robot to take their place on the Pikes Peak rally course, and you're likely to get punched in the face. But ask the average driver trying to negotiate the tricky pass (or one like it) in winter, and you might just get hugged. Audi, together with Stanford University, has developed a car...
