Volkswagen builds a lot of cars in North America. Some of them are built in Mexico, but many are built right here in the U.S. Audi wants to get in on the cheaper construction and shipping costs available here, but it doesn't want to borrow VW's extra capacity. Instead, it will build its own new...

The Volkswagen Beetle and Mexico are inexorably linked. From as far back as 1967 and running until 2003 when production ended for good, Volkswagen's Puebla factory produced the classic Beetle, and between 1998 and 2010 the factory was responsible for New Beetle production. Now, Volkswagen has...

There are a lot of strange, unexplained things in the world. Some of them have been caught on video. Unfortunately, that video is almost always too grainy and shaky to draw any conclusions. So it is with the Porsche 7-speed manual transmission. Sure, we're pretty certain one is coming in the 2012...

Audi is getting ready to unleash its 2012 A6 Hybrid on Europe. It was originally due late this year, but now looks like it won't be on sale across the pond until early 2012. But the U.S. is still at least two years away from the hybrid--if we ever get it. Some reports, like the one from Inside...

The only trouble with flashy new technology is that it tends to be expensive.

Porsche is bound and determined to milk its redesigned 2012 Porsche 911 for all its worth, apparently, starting the drip feed of teasers more than two months ahead of its Frankfurt debut. We aren't complaining, though. Check out the video below to see what little of the 991 Porsche 911 they'll give...

As a replacement for the dull and unfashionable Chevrolet Aveo, GM is hoping the funky 2011 Chevrolet Sonic will appeal to a more savvy car buyer, and tempt people away from their Ford Fiestas and Honda Fits. One way of doing this is giving free invitations to the Spotify digital music service to...

It turns out that Hilton really did love the LFA, just not the color.

Whether you love it or hate it, the uniquely styled 2012 BMW 1-Series is here to stay. The 1-Series, at least in hatchback trim, has always had its detractors and it’s clear from the comments we’ve seen so far that this latest model will be no different. Nevertheless, the 1-Series...
