Ford's F-150 SVT Raptor is the undisputed king of production off-road truck awesomeness, but we’re sure--if ever built--a production version of the 2011 GMC Sierra All Terrain HD pickup truck concept could sure give it a run for its money. In live form the truck looks every bit as menacing...

Lovers of Italian flair--on a budget--were treated with a handful of 2012 Fiat 500 minicars at this week’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show, which added a little spark to Chrysler’s stands and managed to draw in plenty of fans and curious onlookers. These latest live photos really show off the...

There's no doubt Kia and sister company Hyundai have managed to pull off two of the most extreme makeovers of their corporate images the industry has seen in the last decade. Cars like the Optima, Sorento, and Sportage put Kia firmly at the front of the class in design in their respective segments...

Looking to see the 2012 Hyundai Veloster J-turning, sliding into parking spots sideways, smoking the front tires, and generally hooning about? This isn't the video for you. If you like synchronized driving on two-lane desert roads, though, you're in luck. Not a lot goes on in the video aside from...

If you haven't seen the 2011 Chrysler 300 by now, we hope you're recovering well from your coma. Plastered around the web and everywhere else Chrysler could get it, the new 300 takes the sinister look of the original and brings it up to date without changing too much. It looks pretty sharp in...

Here's another peek at the 2012 Boss Mustang, this time on a dynamometer that Ford brought to the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. There wasn't much in the way of Mustang news, but for those who can't make the show, the gallery above will show you what you're missing. While...

You've seen the live shots, the preview, and now you get a video. Sadly, there are no hedgehogs in this one. Just the 2012 Chevy Sonic. When you're done here, be sure to check out our Detroit Auto Show page for more videos, photos, and info on the latest cars and concepts in the Motor City...

Aveo begets Sonic as Sebring begets 200. Trashing old, tarnished names and replacing them with new labels for fresher (or completely different) vehicles is nothing new. It's just popular this season. The 2011 Chrysler 200 does its best to step out of the shadow of the Playskool-inspired Sebring...

Turbos are our friends. Whether we're after better fuel economy or more power, they get the job done in a way nothing else does. The 2012 Chevy Sonic is a perfect example. It's true that 1.4 liters doesn't sound like much displacement--and it's not. There's more volume in a bottle of Coke. But when...

Engineering firm Johnson Controls has unveiled a new concept at this week’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show that’s described as a preview of technologies we can expect to see in vehicle interiors in the near future. Combining intelligent packaging solutions with sustainable motoring concepts...

While the new hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the 2012 Ford C-Max may have grabbed most of the attention, they won’t be on sale for another year at least. The regular gasoline model, which is capable of seating up to seven, will be on sale by the end of the year, however, and it is this...

With its new-generation 6-Series, BMW has taken the unusual route of showing off the Convertible model first, rather than the Coupe, presenting the svelte drop-top today at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Although we pretty much knew what the new 2012 BMW 6-Series was going to look like thanks to the...

Volkswagen surprised few by sticking with the Passat name for its U.S.-specific mid-size sedan, which up until this past week had been going by the name 'New Mid-Size Sedan' or 'NMS' for short. The 2012 Volkswagen Passat sedan will start around $20,000 and offer a new take on the once-popular...

Buick’s foray into the burgeoning compact luxury segment has made its official debut today in the form of the new 2012 Buick Verano. The car is Buick’s third new model in the past two years and its first compact in decades, so understandably it managed to grab a lot of attention at the...

With new versions of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5-Series launched over the past year or two, Audi’s entrant in the mid-size executive sedan segment, the A6, was starting to get a little long in the tooth compared with its rivals. However, that’s all set to change as the brand new...

Looking almost like a Nissan Juke without the extra side of ugly, the 2011 Hyundai Curb concept brings off the compact crossover coupe theme with a futuristic grace and Hyundai's new yet already characteristic style. These live photos show it's not just interesting in carefully-lit studio shots. If...

The Hyundai Veloster is as much an exercise in "why not?" as it is in "why" so don't ask yourself too many questions when you look at these live photos. But beware if you're prone to neurasthenically-induced seizures. For the full details on the 2012 Veloster (and some considerably tamer paint...

It's one of the most hotly anticipated new cars on display at the 2011 Detroit auto show--and maybe that's surprising, since the 40-mpg 2012 Hyundai Veloster comes from humbler beginnings than super cars like the Porsche 918, Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and BMW 650i that also are vying for attention at...

We've already brought you the full details and official studio shots of the 2011 MINI Paceman, the "crossover coupe" version of the MINI Countryman, but now we have live shots from the unveiling at Cobo Hall. Despite the awkward market segment (crossover coupe?) and a name that runs dangerously...

Honda's concepts for the next Civic Coupe and Sedan are out, and their both rather attractive. The concept cars just rolled across the stage in Detroit, and now the official details are out. The two concepts give us the general outline of the 2012 Civic range--the Si Coupe and standard Civic...
