In three days, Chevrolet will reveal the much-anticipated 2014 Corvette to the world, with the unveiling scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 13 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time. Corvette fans don’t have much longer to wait, but that hasn’t stopped Chevrolet from releasing one last teaser video ahead of the car’s debut. In it, we get a glimpse at the C7’s assembly line, which likely means that the video was produced during assembly line testing. Not much is revealed, but we do catch a glimpse of the C7’s roof and inner fenders, along with its aluminum chassis. As...

2014 Nissan GT-R Mega GalleryNissan told us what we could expect from its 2014 GT-R back in November, but the automaker’s fine print was accompanied by just a handful of images.

The Mayans (or at least their interpreters) were wrong, the holidays are over, the new year is upon us, and the 2013 Detroit Auto Show is just around the corner. Accordingly, Mercedes-Benz has some more of the E Class range to bring us, as a sort of belated holiday gift: the 2014 E Class Coupe and Cabriolet.

Though we get this information at the start of 2013 and we'll see the cars in the metal in less than two...

The front end of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette may have gotten a bit of an early web reveal through a screenshot of GM's internal service website. What we see here, via Chris Doane Automotive LLC, is what purports to be a schematic of the installation process for a front brake cooling deflector kit--and the hood, front fender, and bumper of the 2014 Corvette. From what we've seen in our spy photos of the car so far, the drawing fits well with the car's expected look, and fills in some of the details as well. A series of teaser videos has also given us small previews of the seventh-generation...
