While much of the rest of the BMW lineup is downsizing to turbocharged four-cylinders, the M6 is downsizing to a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8. Yes, the V10 is gone, but the new model's power figures are right where they need to be, and, perhaps more importantly, so is the look. We've already seen the M6 in the official imagery, and the good news is that it looks just as good in person. Despite some questionable lighting choices, the M6 on the BMW stand in Geneva comes off every bit as muscular, powerful, and modern as it ought to. It just comes off a bit more orange than you'd expect--regardless...

Lamborghini Aventador J: 2012 Geneva Motor Show

2012 Fiat 500 Abarth first drive
Las Vegas, if you haven't been lately, kind of sucks. Everything is twice as expensive as it should be, good blackjack tables are nearly extinct (even at $100 a hand), and traffic is bad enough to make trekking on foot seem like a good idea even in the summer desert heat. But fortunately, I wasn't...

While we're still not allowed to talk about the Fiat 500 Abarth's performance or other qualities--don't worry, we will be soon--we can show you this new ad--pitched at the recent media launch as an alternate Super Bowl commercial that was deemed a bit too saucy. Considering Catrinel Menghia's spot that did run during the Super Bowl, it's likely the source of the forbidden sauce is Mr. Charlie Sheen, the co-star of the newly released spot. Yes, Catrinel is still in this one, as well. Check it out for yourself, and let us know which of the two you prefer in the comments below.

2012 Jaguar XFR: Quick Drive
It takes a degree of self-control to drive not one, but two diesel examples of Jaguar's XF, before finally getting behind the wheel of the high-performance XFR. There was method behind the madness, of course. With a power output on the fun side of 500 horsepower, stepping foot in the XFR before...

2012 Jaguar XKR-S: First Drive
"Grace... Space... Pace". Three words that Jaguar used to describe its luxury sedans and coupes back in the 1960s, and three words by which Jaguars have been held to account ever since. That slogan raises questions when a car like the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S springs from the company's gates. Will it be a...
