The new 2011 Volvo S60 and V60 are two of the hottest models we’ve seen from the Swedish automaker--to date--but a pair of new R-Design packages make the standard versions look just a little but sweeter. Set to go on sale shortly after their debut at next week’s 2010 Paris Auto Show...

Though we still haven't managed to get behind the wheel of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder, we're convinced it's the right direction for Porsche--at least as an available option.

Generally we'd be happy to take BMW's advice and skip the rather melodramatic Dont Blog About This site and concept, but a new video out today shows the car off in better form than ever. And with Paris just around the corner, it's probably worth taking a closer look. In the video we see a lot of...

You've seen the teasers for Lamborghini's upcoming Paris concept car and read the manifesto, but as yet it's not clear if it's the Murcielago-replacing Jota or an unannounced pure concept car. Today, a report puts a new spin on what's coming to Paris. The two cars, code-named LB715-5 and 83X, will...

Chevy will be hitting Paris hard this year, bringing four new world premieres to the floor. Of the four, only the 2012 Aveo is expected for the U.S., though we can lust after the mostly-attractive Cruze five-door hatch from afar.

It looks like MINI UK has pulled a big about-face on the Paris design concept and related competition for tickets to the September 23 unveiling, pulling the photo from the Facebook page and saying the car is nothing but a standard Countryman. The move was made to "avoid confusion." Of course...

Green, green, green. That's all we hear these days. How to get green, go green, not do things that aren't green. It's enough to make a person a bit green in the face.
