  • 2012 Honda Accord (European version)

    A revised version of the Honda Accord for Europe will make its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show with a short list of updates, some minor, some more significant. Unfortunately the European Accord Tourer (wagon) still eludes us, leaving us with the apple-bottomed Crosstour instead. The list of updates includes revised interior and exterior styling, better emissions and fuel economy for all engines offered, a new 2.2-liter i-DTEC diesel engine rated at 138 grams of CO2 per kilometer, upgraded ride and handling, optional automatic high-beam and active cornering lights, and a new 176-horsepower...

    Wait for it....wait for it. No, really, keep waiting for it. Toyota's FT-86 concept just got a second concept by way of a teaser, and we'll have to--you guessed it--keep waiting for it until Geneva. The new concept? The FT-86 II. Creative, Toyota. No details accompany the new shot, but judging by...

Excited? Don't get too wound up just yet. The information is anything but official, though it...

  • 2011 Mazda Minagi Concept leak
    Leaked Mazda Minagi Concept Previews New CX-5 Crossover

  • Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Concept

    We'd thought that the resurrection of the Z28 name for the upcoming high-end Camaro--which will have a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8--was a foregone conclusion. Sure, we'd heard that GM (NYSE:GM) is using the name "HP Edition," but we figured that was just internal speak. But now we're not so sure. Car And Driver is reporting that other historic names are being considered, such as ZL-1 and IROC-Z. There might be other names out there that could also draw on Camaro history, much as the car itself does. Whatever it's called, we expect it will be fast and powerful, with even better handling than...

    2012 Audi A6 Wins EyesOn Design Award At Detroit Auto Show

    Understated, simple, even plain. Audi's design themes--outside of the S and RS lines, at any rate--are often a bit sleepy, but they're always tight, clean, and sleek. The 2012 Audi A6 is no different, winning recognition from the EyesOn Design award at the Detroit Auto Show this week. The 2012 Audi...
