Auto Shows

Just in time to kick off the new year, Mopar has unveiled a range of accessories for the latest editions to the Chrysler lineup in 2011. Making their debut next week at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, the ‘Moparized’ lineup of vehicles will include everything from a Ram pickup truck to a...

When the 2011 Detroit Auto Show kicks off next week, Hyundai will be one of the brands drawing throngs to its press preview. In part, that's because it's planning the world debut of its unusual 2012 Veloster hatchback--with the promise of 40-mpg fuel economy and a unique four-door body that teams a...

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...

Just yesterday AT&T and BMW announced their partnership for in-car cellular Web connectivity, but it's today's OnStar-Verizon prototype that's really proving to be interesting, if ephemeral. Why? Because the proposed tech allows things like Skype video chat, voice-to-text, vehicle and home...

The Hyundai Veloster will be coming to the 2011 Detroit Auto Show next week, as we were told last month by officials at Hyundai's Technical Center in Detroit. The latest teaser gives us the first official look at the car's third passenger door ahead of its global unveiling. Previous photos were...

Porsche has already confirmed a new model debut for next week’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show, with one official boastfully describing it as something “spectacular”. While the automaker has several brand new models in the pipeline--the production version of last year’s awesome 918...

Last month news broke that Ferrari was planning something “very different” for March’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, a relatively ambiguous description laid out by company boss Luca de Montezemolo. While initial speculation had pegged it as being the replacement for the 612 Scaglietti...

Ford will be putting the reliability of its EcoBoost engines on the line with a public demonstration of an F-150 EcoBoost engine teardown at next week’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show. The teardown process essentially involves the engine being stripped into its individual components and then analyzed...

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...

The 2011 Detroit Auto Show is just around the corner, and Porsche is gearing up for what one representative calls a "spectacular" premiere. What, exactly, will this awesome new model be? Good question. All we know is that something new is definitely coming, confirmed today by Porsche. The official...

Restyled and redesigned slightly for the 2012 year model, the new C-Class offers a more fluid, smoother look than its predecessor on the outside, and a new theme inside that reflects some of the higher-range sedans in Mercedes' stable. Chief on the improvements list--a list 2,000 parts long despite...

If you're hankering for some Hyundai-badged, direct-injected, dual-clutched, three-door, front-drive coupe/hatch action, you'll be on the edge of your seat until the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. The Veloster, around in concept form since 2007, will finally make its production debut. Expected as a 2012...

Ford's Raptor is the undisputed king of production off-road truck awesomeness, but it may soon have a challenger, previewed here with the GMC Sierra All Terrain HD Concept. Bigger, diesel-powered, and suitably brutish, the All Terrain HD is at this point, "strictly a concept," however. According to...

The Chrysler 200, as re-worked as it is, still looks a lot like a Sebring to us. It's better--far better--than its predecessor, but we're still not sold on the transmogrification. The sportier Chrysler 200S, however, may just be the upgrade we're looking for. It won't be a world-beater, but it'll...

We're less than a month away from the wintriest show of the year, the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Despite the cold and snowy conditions, there's plenty of heat crossing the stages this year, with 30 to 40 world debuts planned. The show will be a brutal marathon affair this year, as well, with all press...

The ramp-up for the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, or North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) is well underway, with Honda today releasing a preview sketch of an upcoming Civic concept for the show. The ninth-generation Civic, slated for production in 2011 as a 2012 model, will be based on the...

We’ve already seen a number of variants spun of Ford’s global C-segment platform, aptly named the C-platform and underpinning cars like the new 2012 Ford Focus hatchback and sedan, as well as the U.S. bound C-Max MPV. And at next month’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show we’ll see yet...

As we first reported just a few days ago, the Aveo name is being phased out for Chevrolet’s next-generation small car, which we can confirm today will be called the Sonic. Production is to begin in early 2011 at GM’s Orion Assembly Center in Michigan, which is receiving a $545 million...

The current Ford Escape (pictured) has lived an abnormally long life, still based, albeit distantly, on the Mazda 626. But that's about to change with a new concept slated for introduction next month at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Details on the vehicle itself remain hazy, as Ford announced the...

Ford is engineering its global C-platform to spawn a trio of crossovers that will include a new Lincoln model, as well as the replacements for the popular Escape and European Kuga. As we all know, the C-platform is the modular small car architecture underpinning the new 2012 Ford Focus and...
