  • 2012 Range Rover Evoque Five-Door

    Dynamically designed and arrestingly attractive, the 2012 Range Rover Evoque has won much praise on the auto show circuit and though the crossover is already headed to production, so far only the three-door ‘Coupe’ version has been officially revealed. That is until now. The new 2012 Range Rover Evoque Five-Door has just been revealed ahead of its world debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show next week. Like the Coupe, the Range Rover Evoque Five-Door remains faithful to the dramatic lines of the original Land Rover LRX concept car, offering new levels of style and quality in the...

    Proving that a compact hybrid sedan can be anything but boring, the Kia Forte Hybrid Concept demonstrates styling options for those looking for an alternative to a mundane hybrid ride. Created by Kinetic Motorsports, the Hybrid Concept combines a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine fueled by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG/propane) and compact electric motor running on a lithium polymer battery.

    Video: A Day In The Life Of ‘Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz

    The 14-odd miles of the Nurburgring Nordschleife is nicknamed the “Green Hell” and for good reason. The renowned race track is surrounded by pristine hills covered in green forests but the course itself is one of the toughest and most intensive of its kind anywhere in the world. One...

    You'd think there's be more shenanigans afoot in the celeb world, what with Halloween weekend approaching. But no, our feed reader is quiet, and our appeal to Brit-Brit and Lilo clearly fell on deaf ears. Or unconscious ears. Take your pick. But all isn't lost. Surely you don't think we'd leave you...

  • HPP Custom Chevrolet Camaro And Firebird

    Leave it to the upcoming SEMA show to bring out some interesting custom concepts. When the Chevrolet Camaro was reborn recently, there was no Pontiac Firebird version, primarily since Pontiac ceased existence as a company as part of General Motor's bankruptcy reorganization. But even if Pontiac stuck around, GM never appeared to have any serious plans for a new Firebird on the drawing board. Enter Heide Performance Products, or HPP for short. The company is bringing a pair of modified Camaros--one that pays homage to the late Firebird--to SEMA next week. HPP has turned a Camaro into a...

  • Ghost Hunters on Syfy

    Chrysler's marketing team has had some hits and some misses over the past year. For a while, Olivier Francois & Co. ran nothing but quirky branding campaigns, featuring the likes of Mikhail Gorbachev and Nelson Mandela cruising in Chrysler vehicles. That made dealers confused and mad, but mostly mad. Eventually, Chrysler rolled out a new model -- the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee -- and it launched a product specific campaign, which was...well, it had its moments. Far more interesting were the Michael C. Hall-voiced Dodge ads, some of which featured an invisible monkey. We're not sure why...
