Auto Shows

Capturing the theme of an auto show is usually a fairly easy matter; skeining together the mutters and exclamations of our colleagues, observing the gesticulating from the carmakers, dividing the horsepower by the mpgs, then distilling it all to yield the defining spirit. This year, however, the...

A new Acura NSX supercar is brewing, and though the concept versions we’ve seen don’t appear to resemble the original NSX in anyway, apart from also featuring a mid-engine layout and V-6 engine, the two cars do have some core commonality. Just like the original ‘New Sportscar...

It’s not quite the EcoBoosted Shelby we were expecting, but the legendary American tuner formed by the late Carroll Shelby has stayed true to its word, unveiling at this week’s 2013 Detroit Auto Show a new product powered by one of Ford’s fuel-efficient EcoBoost engines. That new...

At the 2013 Detroit Auto Show this week, Jeep introduced the most significant update to its latest Grand Cherokee SUV since the model’s launch in 2009. The update included fresh new styling, a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and a new fuel-efficient ‘EcoDiesel’ model...

The 2014 Maserati Quattroporte, the sixth generation of the Italian flagship sedan, has finally made its world debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and we now have all the pretty live shots plus a video. The latest Maserati four-door is roomier, lighter and quicker than before, even in its base...

The all-new Audi RS 7 has been expected to arrive here in the U.S. for months now, but this week we got confirmation at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Anyone lamenting Audi’s decision not to bring over its latest generation of the RS 6 needn’t be sad anymore, as the new RS 7, which arrives...

Since we’re the glass-is-half-empty sort, we’ll give you the bad news up front: you won’t be able to buy a 2014 Cadillac ELR plug-in hybrid coupe until sometime next year, although we’re sure your local Cadillac dealer would be happy to take your deposit now. We don’t...

When it comes to range-extended electric vehicles, the concept of delivering fuel economy up to 100 miles per gallon equivalent isn’t all that foreign; after all, the 2013 Chevrolet Volt delivers 98 MPGe. What the Volt and other range-extended electric vehicles fail to deliver is 800-plus...

Kia is following the path of its corporate cousin Hyundai by unveiling a new upmarket sedan complete with a powerful V-6, a leather-lined cabin and plenty of techno-wizardry. The new sedan is the 2014 Kia Cadenza, which will serve as the flagship for the Korean automaker here in the United States...

Acura has unveiled an updated version of its production-destined NSX concept, which not only gives us a better indication as to what the final version will look like but also the styling of its interior.

The 2014 Infiniti Q50, the replacement for the aging G37 Sedan, has finally made its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and while we weren’t completely enamored after seeing the initial press photos, now that we’ve seen it live we must admit that the new 3-Series and C Class fighter...

Mercedes-Benz’s updated E63 AMG has made its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show and these are the first live images of the new brute. Looking every bit as menacing as its numbers would suggest, the new E63 AMG is now officially the fastest four-door in production. This is made possible due...

We’ve had an idea that the Audi RS 7 Sportback would be heading to the United States for a while now, but Audi has finally delivered confirmation. As part of an RS model expansion, Audi’s fastest four-door coupe is making its debut at this week’s Detroit Auto Show. While the RS 7...
