2012

Like the size and look of the new Chevrolet Cruze but think its packaging and trim are just a little too mainstream? Well, the new 2012 Buick Verano may be just what you’re looking for as it’s essentially a more upmarket version of the Chevy compact sedan. Making its debut at the 2011...

While the new 2012 Nissan GT-R isn’t expected to hit showrooms until early February, we pretty much have all the details on the new car, including its performance, pricing and now the available options. As previously reported, the 2012 model year sees the introduction of two different trim...

The Volkswagen NMS, due to replace the current Passat for North America, has been a long time coming. It's still not here, but VW has just let lose a new teaser ahead of its debut next week at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Along with the teaser is a new website VW has launched that allows users to...

Now that 2010 is well and truly over, we can look back at the year and see who came out on top in the sales race. While the clear leader was the Ford F-Series, which came away with 528,349 in total sales for 2010, it was interesting to see that the Chevrolet Camaro, which for 2010 was only...

The dust has barely settled on the launch of the new Chevrolet Camaro Convertible, which has entered the market with a 2011 model year tag, but already the first details for the car’s 2012 model year have started to seep. Although unconfirmed by Chevrolet, the new 2012 model year Camaro is...

The driver of this Chevrolet Camaro is probably not one of the smartest people out on the roads, as evidenced by her futile attempts to evade a pursuing police car by reversing into it. All she manages to achieve is creating a lot of smoke from the burnt rubber of her tires. Also keep an eye out...

Remember Car And Track? If you don't, don't worry about it. The show ran from 1967 to 1975, so it may not be fresh in many minds. Nevertheless, video has surfaced online of a televised car and Track road test of the 1968 Shelby GT500KR. Watching this video reminds us of how cool these Mustangs were...

Left Lane News has put together a rendering of the upcoming Camaro Z28, and it shows a few differences over the current top-dog SS.

It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone. It seems like just yesterday we were writing about Lindsay Lohan's trip to rehab, and now, we're writing about...well, Lindsay Lohan's return to rehab. There's something comforting about that consistency, don't you think? And so, in the...

Axell Auto may not be as well recognized as the other big Japanese tuners, mostly because up until now the company has focused on modifying vans, but at next month’s 2011 Tokyo Auto Salon the guys at Axell Auto will have something a little bit special on show. Pictured here in these official...

Joseph Gosinski, a California-based Mustang customizer, was found dead in his shop on Christmas Eve. The 44-year-old was shot in the chest in his Torrance, California shop. Police don't suspect robbery in the death of the Chicane Sport Tuning owner. Indeed, there are few leads so far. There has...

Feeling the post Christmas blahs? Want to hear a few more Christmas carols before the new year? Perhaps with a muscle car edge?

We already knew the 2012 Porsche Boxster and Cayman would be built in-house at the Volkswagen Osnabrueck plant, bucking the trend of outsourcing construction to contract firms like Valmet or Magna. What we didn't know is that the next-gen Cayman and Boxster would be built alongside Volkswagens...

The first North American Ford to get torque vectoring control will be the 2012 Focus. Ford is pitching the system as a safety- and performance-enhancing addition that helps the car "carve through turns like a downhill skier." We're not convinced. First, we should understand how the system works...
