Worry not, Viper fans--Chrysler has no plans to kill off the SRT Viper. That's despite recent news that Chrysler had cut production due to low demand and inventory pile-up--reducing production from nine cars per day, to six. But Ralph Gilles, president and CEO of Chrysler’s SRT Brand and...

All 375 McLaren P1 supercars destined for production are accounted for, which means if you’re in the market for a hybrid hypercar your only option left would be the Porsche 918 Spyder. Ferrari’s LaFerrari supercar was sold out even before the car was unveiled. In fact, there was so much...

Not long ago, Maserati was selling around 6,000 cars per year on the back of two model lines: the Quattroporte and Granturismo. Not surprisingly, many scoffed when the automaker announced in 2011 it would increase annual sales to 50,000 units and launch three additional model lines by the end of...

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a very good car. In fact, it’s a great car. That’s why General Motors already has a long list of orders despite it only just reaching showrooms. In addition, dealers are expected to have few unsold examples up until the second quarter of next...

Mercedes-Benz’s new compact range has proven a hit in the markets where the stylish offerings are sold, and it looks like that success will be repeated in the U.S. The automaker’s local chief, Steve Cannon, is confident of reaching 60,000 combined annual sales split evenly between the...

Maserati is well on its way to achieving 50,000 annual sales by the middle of the decade, with the company already having received 17,000 sales over the first seven months of the year, almost triple its sales for the whole of 2012. Should the success continue, Maserati aims to be profitable by...

We love it, and we love to hate its marketing almost as much as we despise the overzealous, often ignorant coverage in the press. First, Tesla insists on listing prices with government incentives--which buyers don't always qualify for--already deducted. Then we didn't get the more affordable 40-kWh...

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is one of the most anticipated cars of the year and pent-up demand, both from hardcore fans and first-time ‘Vette buyers, is sure to cause a stampede at showrooms when the car officially arrives in early October. Not surprisingly, dealers have already been...

It was four years ago at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show that we first saw BMW roll out its Vision EfficientDynamics concept and announce its commitment to launching an advanced sports car with stellar gas mileage based on it. At the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show in one month’s time, BMW will finally...

Lamborghini marked its 50th anniversary this year and as part of the celebrations rolled out the striking Veneno at March’s 2013 Geneva Motor Show, a bespoke supercar based on the Aventador platform and with styling one could best describe as polarizing. Only four examples were promised, one...

There's some funky name calling going on over at Infiniti, and it's all related to the G37 that's supposed to be yielding to the Q50. That's not how this is going down, however, as we told you earlier. Rumor had it that Infiniti planned to sell the G37 alongside the all-new Q50 in its showrooms for...

Back in May, Ferrari made the announcement it would target maximum sales of 7,000 cars this year, down from 7,318 sales in 2012, in order to improve the exclusivity of the marque while at the same time protect its margins and residual values for its customers. Ferrari has now released its first...

While Volvo's range of vehicles does get a range of minor dress-up updates for 2014, the bulk of the range remains essentially the same as last year. Accordingly, the pricing remains much the same as last year, with the 2014 S60's base price rising $500, from $31,900 to $32,400, to cover the...

Is the 2014 Nissan 370Z the smartest performance value now?

Last year was a banner year for the German luxury brands in the U.S., with Mercedes-Benz fighting a close battle with BMW to finish second by 7,000 vehicles. Despite the rivalry seen in last year's sales race, Mercedes-Benz CEO Dieter Zetsche has already bowed out for 2013--even though Mercedes is...

The epitome of the Mercedes-Benz brand when it comes to speed as well as luxury, the AMG line of cars presents many interesting opportunities--not to mention a ton of fun on track. Two of the best examples of the range are new for 2014 and we now know what they cost. Up first, the SLS AMG Black...

Unveiled just over a month ago, the 2014 BMW X5 adds some interesting new features and options, but the additions have increased the price by more than $6,000 to $53,725. Last year's X5 xDrive 35i started at $47,500, and included standard all-wheel drive. The new entry price is for the rear-wheel...

Despite being five inches longer, the 2014 Cadillac CTS is also 244 pounds lighter than the model it replaces, and it's packed with 20 new standard features--and the new CTS will start from $46,025 including the $925 destination fee. The 420-horsepower, twin-turbo V-6 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport will...

Diesel is making a comeback in the U.S., from the luxury ranks all the way to the entry level, and Audi has been at the front of the new wave. Today, the four-ringed company announced pricing for its 2014 A6 TDI, A7 TDI, and Q5 TDI. "As drivers increasingly look for high fuel efficiency and...

Do you like coach-built machines? How about rare bits of automotive history? Have we got the car for you then. It's called the Bentley Continental GTZ, and the Z stands for Zagato. That would be Milanese design house Zagato, which transformed a 2006 Bentley Continental GT into the car you see...
