The Porsche 911 adds the next logical member of its family to the fold this fall, when the 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet lose their hardtops at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The new Cabriolet models arrive in the year Porsche is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary sports...

MINI will celebrate the 107th anniversary of the birth of Sir Alec Issigonis, the designer of the original Mini, by unveiling the third generation of the modern MINI, the 2014 Cooper, at a special ceremony at the car’s plant in Oxford, England. That special ceremony will take place on...

The Los Angeles Auto Show doesn’t boast the international awareness that rival auto shows in New York and Detroit enjoy, but it still manages to draw in the big crowds with a handful of important reveals every year. The annual show in L.A. is typically where automakers present their models...

BMW's new i division hasn't even launched its first vehicle yet, and it's already looking at a two-door version of its upcoming i3 electric hatchback. The i3 Coupe Concept is a spin-off of the i3 we've been shown for the past year, but will it go into production? The i3 Coupe Concept drew a strong...

In the future, highway patrol vehicles are likely to look a lot different from the police cruisers of today. This year's Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge asked automakers to sketch what the ideal highway patrol vehicle of 2025 might look like, and top honors go to Subaru for its SHARC design...

Perhaps no other race car in recent years has captured the imagination of fans in quite the same way as the Nissan DeltaWing. Perhaps it’s the car’s futuristic shape, or perhaps it’s the fact that the car is considerably down on horsepower compared to others in the field, yet it...

We’ll admit to being fans of the Volvo S60 T6 R-Design sedan, as it’s a near-ideal blend of performance and comfort. As much as we like the car, however, it’s Volvo’s uber-sexy S60 Polestar concept that we’d rather have parked on our garage. Rumor had it that Volvo was...

BMW is out to prove that its upcoming i3 electric hatchback doesn’t have to be boring, by presenting at this week’s 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show a sporty coupe variant simply dubbed the i3 Coupe. The new concept is the latest in a long string of i3 show cars, but the latest gives us a...

Don’t let the ‘fixie’ bike mounted into the Hyundai Veloster C3 Roll Top Conecpt lead you too far astray. This concept, unveiled here at the Los Angeles Auto Show, could be taken either as a thought process toward an open-top (yet still active-lifestyle-oriented) version of the...

For its entry for the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Design Challenge, a contest that challenges the world’s top automotive designers to come up with the best concept car for a given theme, Mercedes-Benz developed the imposing Ener-G-Force SUV. However, rather than leave the vehicle just as a design...

When the 2014 Acura RLX hits showrooms next spring, it will come with the next generation of Acura’s connectivity system, AcuraLink. Thanks to new embedded technology and the ability to link to web-enabled devices such as a smartphone, AcuraLink will be able to bring a much broader range of...

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette will be making its world debut in January, but the first test drives of the car won’t be available until the sales launch later in 2013. If, like us, you just can’t wait, dust off your PlayStation 3 or visit a friend that owns one and get ready to test drive...

One of the standouts of this week’s 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show was a bright yellow supercar from the tuning gods at AMG. That supercar is the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, possibly the wildest and most capable car to ever emerge from AMG’s headquarters in Affalterbach...

Acura’s new flagship sedan, the 2014 RLX, has been shown for the first time in production trim at this week’s 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. The car goes on sale early next year, where it will replace the aging RL (Honda Legend in other markets). We first got a preview of the new RLX with...

Depending on your priorities, Fiat may have just made the 500 Abarth a better vehicle. That is, if your priority is hearing that beefy exhaust note and if it involves having an open-air experience. These two things have now been accomplished with the introduction of the new 2013 Fiat 500c Abarth at...

In the history of the automobile, the Volkswagen Beetle is easily one of the most iconic vehicles ever created. Generations of drivers learned the joys of rowing their own gears behind the wheel of the slow-but-stout Beetle, and Volkswagen is banking that those drivers will want to park an old...

If you've read our first drive report on the 2013 Boxster, you know just how much we love it--and how much you should too, if you're into fast, fun, good-looking and feature-packed cars, at any rate. Now, the hardtop Cayman joins its drop-top sibling, bringing with it the same upgrades and...
