2011

For those of you who have been following this blog since its inception, you may have noticed I am no longer posting news updates. The truth of the matter is I am handing off my writing duties to another writer so I can spend more time with my family and work on other website projects. As of today...

As we transition into the 2011 model year, things are starting to sizzle for most brands, none more so than for Swedish automaker Volvo, which has one very important new model launch and a host of other updates planned. Having just been officially sold to China’s Geely, and picking up a new chief...

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS will be positioned further upmarket than the current model to make way for a smaller four-door coupe.

We've already seen the 2011 Bentley Continental GT all but unmasked in our spy shots, but the details of what's under the (relatively) sleek new skin still remain unknown. All the wondering will be over by mid-September, though, as Bentley today launched a new microsite teasing the car's unveiling...

The new Jaguar XJ Sentinel armored car is on display at the 2010 Moscow International Motor Show.

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS will be launched late next year.

The new additions to the Panamera range mean even more performance and style are available--for a price.

The little crossover that could will make its debut this November.

If you happen to have read our First Drive Review, you know we think the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V is way fun from behind the wheel. And if you watched the footage from behind the wheel as we took a 2011 CTS-V Coupe around Monticello Motor Club's track (ignore the driver's grimaces, please), you'll have...

All cards on the table: we think Reese Witherspoon is a big ol' slice of awesome. Not that she's fat or anything; when we say "big ol'", we just mean that she seems extremely awesome. She's a study in contrasts: a Southern girl with a tiny bit of a wild streak; pretty and refined, but not opposed...

Last week, we told you how much fun the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is from behind the wheel in our First Drive Review. Now, we can show you. This video was shot from inside a CTS-V Coupe we took around the very technical track at Monticello Motor Club, a racetrack that's normally only open to...

Somehow, The Bachelorette is still on the air, which probably means that someone is still watching it, which probably means that some people out there know who Ali Fedotowsky is. We are not those people. However, her name shows up a lot in the news feeds, and it's fairly hard to miss, so in our...

The Bentley Continental range is starting to get a little long in the tooth, having been on sale in its current form since 2003. Despite this, Bentley is milking the most out of its Continental range for the 2011 model year, releasing two more special editions based on the Continental GTC and GTC...

Call it a wrap - yesterday's motorsports gathering, The Quail 2010, is over, and with this post, MotorAuthority is switching gears to tomorrow's Pebble Beach Concours. Our first outing to the Quail Lodge's eight-year-old affair brought us an up-close view of some stunning race cars from the 1950s...

  With a frail Carroll Shelby at the helm, The Quail 2010 paid homage to some of the greatest Mustangs in history on Friday. And if you've never seen a 'Stang older than the 2011 BOSS 302 we brought you yesterday, the Quail's collection of pony cars provided an instant history lesson. Paired with...

Jaguar’s year long celebration of its 75th anniversary continues with the unveiling today of the Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Concept, a special one-off design project on display at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The new concept is the company's first demonstration of the design customization...

The idea of a more affordable Infiniti G sedan is intriguing. One does have to wonder, however, what implications moving further down-market and into a lower price segment might have on Infiniti's brand perception as a whole. With the new M on the way and Infiniti's efforts to move that nameplate...

It's not often that a manufacturer has the courage to turn dozens of auto journalists loose on a racetrack with pricey copies of its new, 556-horsepower performance coupe. So we were eager to get behind the wheel of the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and find out whether it was as much fun as the CTS-V...

Poor Jessica Alba. The girl can't seem to catch a break. Sure, she's been genetically gifted. Sure, she's got a handsome husband and a cute kid. But Good Luck Chuck? The Love Guru? Ouch. Now she's been pulled over by one of Los Angeles' finest. Our powers of telepathy are on the fritz today (damn...

Infiniti is heading down the road already strafed by the likes of BMW's M division, Mercedes-Benz' AMG sub-brand, and Audi's S and RS offspring, with a new performance badge dubbed IPL. The Infiniti Performance Line bows today in Pebble Beach, California, where the luxury brand is gathering with...
