Turns out this morning’s Skoda Fabia vRS 2000 Speedster isn’t the only convertible concept car scheduled to be unveiled this week at Austria’s Wörthersee Tour 2011. We now have the first images and details of a convertible version of the high-performance Golf R, which in regular hatchback form is expected to hit U.S...
Here’s yet another video of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster, this time with the car hitting a race track though never at full tilt. As mentioned in our previous report, the 563 horsepower SLS AMG Roadster is set to go on sale this fall. That gorgeous brown metallic paint finish Mercedes-Benz keeps showing the car in, by the way...
Nearly a year ago, buzz about a plug-in hybrid Cadillac SRX stirred the automotive Web, and early this year GM CEO Dan Akerson said a plug-in SRX was "likely." Then this week Cadillac, seemingly out of the blue, reportedly killed the program. Why? According to Nick Saporito at GM Inside News, the answer is efficiency, or rather, a lack of it. The...
It’s been a while since we last heard about the trio of new roadster models being developed at Volkswagen Group brands Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen, though at one point last month there were claims that Audi’s version of the lightweight sports car had been canceled. Now, just a few weeks after that grim report, Autocar is claiming that...
Volkswagen-owned Skoda doesn't get much press in the U.S. but over in Central and Eastern Europe it is one of the most popular automotive brands. Having launched new versions of its mainstream Octavia and Superb sedans in recent years, the company has now also revealed the sporty 2011 Skoda Fabia vRS 2000 speedster concept car at this week’s...
It’s fairly safe to say that an open-top ‘Roadster’ version of the recently revealed Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 supercar was always going to be launched, but now we have some details of when the car is to be released. Thanks to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its fuel economy ratings, we can reveal that the...
Before you start questioning who on earth would want to buy a diamond studded Maybach 62S, recall rapper Birdman recently spent a cool $8 million on the one-off Maybach Exelero coupe so there’s certainly a market out there for people with simply too much money on their hands. Nevertheless, it is true. Maybach and Swiss jewelry icon de...
In the early part of last year BMW confirmed it was working on a new front-wheel drive model to slot in below its current 1-Series and compete with the likes of the Audi A1 and next-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Now, just one year onwards, we have what’s likely to be the first spy shots of a prototype for the entry-level BMW, which were...
The recently revealed 2012 Audi A6 Avant luxury station wagon may not be coming to the U.S. but does that mean Audi can release a promo video for the car that’s almost identical to one of this year’s most popular local car commercials? We’ll leave you to be the judge as to whether or not the ads are too similar. One, as...
In hindsight, last week's Guilty Pleasure car, the 1970 Mercury Marauder X-100, wasn't quite shameful enough for full GP status; sure, it's big and fat and nothing at all like the Cougars and Cyclones most nostalgia-hounds imagine when they think of cool vintage Mercurys, but only bad people would say that the X-100 isn't a beautiful car, and that...
We’ve consistently reported about some of Opel’s hotter models being imported to the U.S. and sold as Buicks, and we’ve already seen the top-selling Insignia sedan arrive as a Regal in addition to the soon-to-be released Verano, which is essentially a reskinned version of the Opel Astra and Chevrolet Cruze. However, it’s...
