  • Honda Accord Coupe Concept  -  2012 Detroit Auto Show

    Honda is showing its next-generation Accord in thinly veiled Coupe Concept form at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, and while it's instantly recognizable, up close it outlines some advanced design cues, technology, and features that will likely help maintain this model's status as one of the top sellers on the market. The 2013 Accord will come with three different engines, including a base 181-horsepower, 2.4-liter 'Earth Dreams' direct-injection four-cylinder engine, a revised 3.5-liter V-6, or in the new Accord Hybrid, a new 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine and twin-motor hybrid...

    2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Live Pics: 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    Hyundai's new three-door Veloster sporty coupe is very appealing in so many ways. Its unique three-door layout allows back-seat passengers to enter more easily than in a standard coupe, thanks to an added (smaller) rear passenger-side door; it offers more connectivity and better interior...

  • Chevrolet Tru 140S Concept

    While Chevy’s latest concepts, the Code 130R and the Tru 140S (shown here) aren’t the first cars marketed to Millenials, they may well be the first that solicited feedback from under-30 customers throughout the design process. As John McFarland, Chevy’s senior manager for Global Marketing, puts it, “At Chevrolet, we want to build authentic and meaningful relationships with these customers on their terms. We want to hear what they have to say, engage them in our design process, and give them what they want - not what we think they want.” The Tru 140S is billed by...

    2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS Live Photos: 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    With no additional power over the regular Sonic fitted with Chevy’s turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, the new 2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS is more trim level than standalone model but we’re sure this won’t put off too many buyers. That’s because the Sonic RS comes pretty...

    The 2012 Detroit Auto Show is in full swing, sometimes literally, with musical acts gracing stages and the occasional appearance by, say, Jon Lovitz for the Smart For Us pickup concept. But despite the hoopla, the cars are still the real stars. The two that just crossed Mercedes-Benz's stage are of...

    There’s no denying that the new 2013 Ford Fusion is a looker, and these latest live photos confirm that the stylish sedan looks just as good in the metal as it does in the stylized press shots we saw earlier. The new Fusion is also a star when it comes to environmental consciousness, with...

  • 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL Class live photos

    Even though it's already been revealed in full detail, right down to the body-in-white and all of its high-tech details, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL Class still merits some attention as it makes its in-the-metal debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. Sure, it has some quirky styling in places, but on the whole, it's a striking roadster with an incredible interior. These photos show the SL as it looks in real life--or as close as most will get for a few months yet. We think the proportions, if not all of the details, work very well for the new SL. The full unveiling is still to come, and you can...

    The 24 Best Car Pictures Of 2011

It can raise pulses and change minds. It even can turn some awkward-looking rides from the real world into mythic...
