  • 2013 Lincoln MKS teaser

    The 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show is now just a couple of days away and in the lead up to the annual event Lincoln has released new teaser images via its Facebook page of one of its new attractions planned. The teasers are for the facelifted 2013 MKS sedan that’s set to debut in L.A. alongside a similarly updated MKT crossover. They show the hood of the new MKS, which sports new character lines that flow into what’s expected to be a slightly toned down waterfall grille, as well as revised tail-lights and a look at part of the car's main instrument cluster. Other updates expected on...

    2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG Teased Ahead Of L.A. Debut

    This summer Mercedes-Benz took the wraps off the 2012 M-Class, so it's natural that the AMG version should be close behind. Our spy shots have tracked the progress of the uber-SUV, and the latest images show it to be very complete and just about ready for prime time. We’ve already confirmed...

  • Hyundai Elantra Coupe
    2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe spy shots

    Back in February, we heard reports that Hyundai was working on a coupe version of its stylish Elantra compact sedan.

  • Buick LaCrosse GL Concept

    Buick isn't bringing a flashy concept to the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show next week. No, it's bringing a LaCrosse design study called the LaCrosse GL, which could easily be put into production. The concept features a combination of cabernet red paint, dark cocoa brown and caramel-colored leathers. Buick says the inspiration for the concept is from "antique jewelry, fine cuisine, and overall enriching experiences." Outside the LaCrosse GL trades the typical shiny chrome trim bits for brushed and tinted chrome bits. Wheels are borrowed from the Regal GS parts bin, but with a stain finish added to...

  • 2012 Volvo C70 Inscription
    2012 Volvo C70 Inscription: 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show

    Against newcomers like the Volkswagen Eos and recently revealed MINI Roadster, Volvo’s C70 is certainly starting to show its age, as we discovered in our own drive report of the car. And with Volvo admitting that production of the C70 will end in 2013, there’s unlikely to be anymore...

  • 2013 Ford Flex
    2013 Ford Flex: 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show

    Ford has surprised many by choosing to keep its seven-seat Flex crossover chugging along into the 2013 model year despite the Explorer SUV also being able to carry seven but undercutting the Flex in price, albeit very slightly. Nevertheless, a raft of updates for the 2013 Ford Flex should keep...

  • Ford Focus ST, launched at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show

    It's finally here, although Ford still hasn't quite said when it will go on sale in the U.S. Right now, all we know is "next year." But the 2012 Ford Focus ST, to be sold not only in the U.S. but 40 other countries too, looks like it will be worth the wait. If you're a regular MotorAuthority reader, you know the Focus ST has been extensively teased, first appearing as a concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, reprising that appearance in Detroit this past January, and showing up in performance videos too. The production version was confirmed to be coming to America, and duly showed up a year...

  • 2013 Volkswagen CC
    2013 Volkswagen CC: 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show Preview

    It’s hard to believe that Volkswagen’s stylish four-door coupe, the CC (or Passat CC as it's known elsewhere), has been with us for almost four years. That means the car’s about due for an obligatory mid-cycle refresh, a refresh that’s been revealed today ahead of its debut...

  • JDM 2012 Honda CR-V

    Honda hasn't exactly kept it a secret that it will unveil the new 2012 CR-V at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show in a few weeks. But apparently showing a thinly-veiled concept version of the new CR-V wasn't enough, as the Japanese automaker has published photos of the JDM version of the 2012 CR-V on the Internet. The concept version of the 2012 CR-V made its debut at the Orange County International Auto Show back in September. Take away the smoked taillights and headlights, along with the skid plates, and the concept version of the CR-V is pretty much the new 2012 CR-V. With a more aggressive...
