  • 2011 Lexus LFA Nurburgring Package

    If you thought the $375,000 asking price for the 2012 Lexus LFA was outrageous enough, you would certainly have been gobsmacked by the announcement of the LFA Nurburgring Package, which adds an extra $70,000 to the pricetag. We will finally get to see what all the fuss is about, with Lexus announcing today that an LFA equipped with the bespoke Nurburgring Package will be on show at next month’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The performance upgrade for the Lexus supercar has been designed to offer additional aerodynamic features and technical revisions that improve handling and downforce...

    2011 Dodge Challenger R/T Green With Envy Live Photos: 2011 Chicago Auto Show

    The Chicago Auto Show has been a bit of an underwhelming affair, though perhaps none more so than yet another special-color paintjob on the Dodge Challenger. The Dodge Challenger R/T Classic in the new Green With Envy color will entice retro-loving Mopar muscle heads, but few others. The new Green...

  • 2012 Acura TL

    The "refined" 2012 Acura TL just hit the stage at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show, and we've got the live shots from its debut. Largely a carry-over from last year's model, the mid-cycle refresh brings some minor tweaks, but unfortunately doesn't ditch the funky, chunky grille.
