The idea of being able the track the production of your car is nothing new. BMW does this with the X3, and General Motors will even let die-hard Corvette fans build up their own Z06 or ZR1 engine (for a price). Chrysler, on the other hand, is the first mainstream automaker we’re aware of that will allow customers to track the production of...
Headlining today's news at High Gear Media is The Car Connection's redesign and re-launch, with a new look and new features that make finding your next car even easier. Cadillac has apparently decided to put plans for a drop-top version of the upcoming ATS compact luxury car on ice, and the sports car world continues to get more interesting with...
Named like an onomatopoeic Batman fight scene exclamation, the Maserati Kubang will be built in Detroit for American buyers sometime in 2013. This video is the first to show it on the road. Smacking heavily of computer generation, the video does a fair amount of brand-building before it gets around to showing off the Kubang, but given its classy...
The 2012 Audi A6 luxury sedan has won the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) Top Safety Pick award in the Institute's latest round of testing. To qualify, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of "good" in the institute’s front, side, rollover, and rear tests, and also be fitted with electronic stability control as standard...
Lotus surprised many at the 2010 Paris Auto Show by unveiling a range of new sports car concepts, all of which, at the time, were claimed to be headed for production. But quietly, the automaker from Hethel also announced plans for a new minicar to be called the Ethos that would be based on a model currently being developed by Proton, Lotus’...

Development work on Cadillac’s 3-Series rival, the upcoming 2013 Cadillac ATS, is well underway as detailed in this official teaser video, however, the latest word is that a planned convertible variant has been shelved. From the onset Cadillac was expected to launch the ATS Sedan in 2012, followed by a coupe variant one year later and a...
In a time when most of its rivals are downsizing their engines and adopting forced induction or hybrid technology to boost output, we’re glad to see that AMG is sticking with the tried and true formula of a naturally aspirated V-8 engine for its latest generation 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG. With a peak output of 415 horsepower and 398...
Fiat will donate $1,000 from every sale of its new 2012 Fiat 500 Pink Ribbon Edition to help support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The automaker will build just 250 examples of the special edition minicar, and has committed to a $50,000 minimum donation. Based on the 2012 Fiat 500 Lounge model, the Pink Ribbon Edition is available in...
At 219-inches in length, and with a wheelbase of 75.8-inches, few would consider the Bentley Mulsanne as lacking in size. However, as hard as it is to believe, numerous clients have requested that Bentley build a bigger version. Speaking with Autocar, Bentley boss Wolfgang Durheimer revealed that requests for a longer wheelbase Mulsanne come in...
Following the launch of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV is a redesigned GL-Class due early next year, a high-performance AMG variant of which has been captured here in prototype form by one of our sleuth spy photographers. First seen as a test-mule in the U.S., these latest prototypes show the nearly complete form of the upcoming...
At first look, the 2012 Audi TT RS could be taken as just another chipped, dressed-up TT, with subtle differences that only a true Audiphile would be able to parse out from a distance. In truth, that’s not at all a bad thing. About 15 minutes into a drive of the new U.S.-spec TT RS, we’d only been puttering along in traffic and managed...
Taking on Ferrari's 458 Italia or its 458 Spider variant is no mean task. Accordingly, Porsche is whipping up an all-new product to not only match it, but surpass it. Unfortunately we'll have to wait about four years for its arrival. So what is this new car? It's called the 960, according to CAR Magazine, and it's set to slot in below the upcoming...
In the world of high-end trackday cars, there are many choices and few wrong answers. One of the best answers is likely the Riley MkXXV, which is powered by the bored and stroked 5.8-liter S85 V-10 (yes, the one from the last-gen M-5) shown in the dyno video below. The sound alone is worth the 1:42 run time, but if you need more convincing, check...
Though it's not as powerful or as spacious as some of its rivals, the spec-sheet advantages of GLs and Escalades dissolves once you climb inside a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover. It's simply the class standard, the single vehicle all other luxury sport-utes try to imitate, the off-roader even royalty aspire to. We give the Range Rover a 9 at Motor...
