  • 2011 Acura TSX

    The 2011 Acura TSX is coming onto the market with only minimal changes, which is not surprising considering the current generation has only been on sale for a little over two years. The latest version of the car made its debut this week at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show and we’re glad to see Acura didn’t much around too much with the TSX’s edgy styling. The biggest change for 2011 is improved fuel economy (ratings are up 1 mpg all around), and an improved navigation system. The cabin has also been made quieter. New EPA ratings for the 2011 Acura TSX four-cylinder models are...

    Last week we brought you the details and preview of the Mummbles Marketing 2011 Hyundai Equus, and today we have the live shots of the car from the SEMA floor.

  • 2010 SEMA: Pony Girl 2011 Ford Mustang Creations n' Chrome live photos

    Creations n' Chrome built this pink-and-white Pony Girl 2011 Ford Mustang to raise awareness for breast cancer, but its flashy looks and power-adding modifications may just raise the profile of the Mustang as well. Built on a convertible 2011 Mustang GT, the Creations n' Chrome team added a Vortech V-3 Si-trim supercharger, Nitrous Express nozzle system for shooting the NO2 into the intake, a SAFE stand-alone fuel enrichment system, Corsa performance exhaust, and Optima RedTop battery to shave a few pounds. Handling is upgraded with a set of KW Variant 1 coil-overs, while stopping is improved...

    2010 SEMA: 2011 Gymkhana THREE Ford Fiesta Live Photos

    We've all seen the tire-shredding, physics-defying antics of Ken Block's much-hyped third episode in the Gymkhana series, and we've seen the car before, too, but these live shots give us a little better appreciation of what the car looks like in the flesh--and an idea of what gives it that...

    2010 SEMA: tC Tuner Challenge Live Photos

    Here we have a pair of cars from the SEMA Scion tC Tuner Challenge, spanning the gap from full-race to near-steampunk. We'd have a hard time deciding between the performance of the Steve Pangilinan car or the slick looks of the Shawn Baker entry. Speaking of the Pangilinan car, it's fitted with a...

    Before its world premiere this week at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, the world knew the details on the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class sedan. Now, the demimonde of auto journalists and Parisians know how well the CLS translates into reality, as it's on display on the auto show floor. In adopting some of...

  • 2012 Audi RS5

    Audi first teased U.S. fans of its S5 coupe with an RS5 version at the Geneva motor show. Then, it waged a buff-book campaign to win more converts--and to make a case for bringing the super-powerful coupe to the States. The enthusiasts won, and now the RS5 is destined for Americans eager to get their hands on the 4.2-liter, V-8-powered RS5. Audi's offered the V-8 in the S5 before, but in the RS5 the eight-cylinder's cranked up to 450 horsepower--levels seen in the much more expensive R8 supercar. Audi's seven-speed "S-tronic" dual-clutch gearbox handles the shifting, and quattro...

    BMW outlined the U.S. specs of its 2011 X3 crossover earlier this month, and at the 2010 Paris auto show, it displayed the new South Carolina-built SUV for the first time in public. The new creases and folds do good things for the X3's sheetmetal. The ute loses some of the slab-sided appearance of...
