The 2012 Range Rover Evoque has been a surefire hit, wowing audiences at its Kensington Palace reveal with its cutting edge looks and brilliant quality. Land Rover is now looking to build on that success by launching another new model designed to fill the gap in the more luxurious Range Rover...

Die-hard enthusiasts aside, the hot hatch has never taken off in the U.S. the way it did in Europe—but sporty sedans have proven successful, as Subaru and Mitsubishi--and now Suzuki too--will attest. Since its unveiling last year, Suzuki's Kizashi has been recognized as a mid-size sedan with a...

We were briefly excited last year then quickly had our hopes smashed when word of an American version of the UK's hit car-related show Top Gear was released, then quickly canceled after filming the pilot.

  Hollywood doesn't call them remakes--they euphemize 'em as "reboots" these days. But with this fall's new version of the CBS classic, Hawaii Five-0 is trying to stay as authentic as possible with a raft of new Fords on screen--and at least one old one. CBS may be the only place you'll see a...
