  • Lexus LF-LC Concept live photos, 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    The Lexus LF-LC is a rarity among modern auto show concepts: it's an actual concept. It's not intended to directly preview any production model, and it's certainly not a thinly-veiled production-ready car. It's also pretty daring in its details. And it's a hybrid. Beyond that, there's not a lot to know about the LF-LC. It's a two-door coupe, it looks sporty, and the combination of that look with a hybrid drivetrain might presage a legitimate entry into the sport-hybrid arena from Lexus, at least as an idea. But really, who cares if it does anything? It's an actual concept...

  • 2013 Buick Encore
    2013 Buick Encore Bows In At 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    As far back as August 2009 Buick released a teaser of a compact crossover that was essentially a rebadged version of the now obsolete Saturn Vue. The only major difference between the two was a Buick-style waterfall grille, and that rubbed consumers, dealers and many in the media the wrong way and...

  • Acura NSX Concept
    New Acura NSX To Be Engineered And Built In U.S.

    At the 2012 Detroit Auto Show this week Acura finally took the covers off a concept car previewing the replacement for its cherished NSX supercar. At the unveiling Acura also took the opportunity to announce that the new NSX will go on sale within three years, but the big shocker was the...

  • GReddy and Scion Racing FR-S drift car

    Scion, through its Scion Racing division and several other partners, currently competes in the exciting world of Formula DRIFT using a heavily modified tC, which being a front-wheel drive car in its original state is sure to have some major compromises when it comes to the fine art of drifting. That’s all set to change come the start of the 2012 season as Scion has unveiled its new 600-horsepower Formula DRIFT challenger in the form of the latest 2013 Scion FR-S rear-wheel drive sports coupe. The new drift car, unveiled this week at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, has been developed over...

  • Lincoln MKZ Concept, 2012 Detroit Auto Show
    2013 Lincoln MKZ Previewed By New Concept At 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    Just a day after Cadillac took the wraps off the 2013 ATS luxury sedan, Lincoln is revealing a new sedan of its own, in concept form, with the new MKZ Concept. Debuting alongside the all-new Ford Fusion, which will likely share its core with the future production MKZ, Lincoln nevertheless promises...

  • 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo  -  2012 Detroit Auto Show
    2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Live Pics: 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    Hyundai's new three-door Veloster sporty coupe is very appealing in so many ways. Its unique three-door layout allows back-seat passengers to enter more easily than in a standard coupe, thanks to an added (smaller) rear passenger-side door; it offers more connectivity and better interior...

  • Acura NSX Concept live photos

    The Acura NSX Concept has just made its debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, and we have the live images of the car hot off the show floor. Due for production within three years, the next Acura NSX looks like it's ready to take on the world's super cars. Whether it'll be able to do that on hard performance figures with a V-6 engine and a hybrid powertrain is yet to be proven, but the team that's building it--development and construction will take place here in the U.S.--will also be racing it, according to Honda chief Takanobu Ito. For the full details on the Acura NSX Concept, read our...

  • 2012 Acura ILX Concept
    2013 Acura ILX Preview: 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    With a hat trick of new cars at this year's Detroit auto show--including the hybrid NSX concept--the Acura brand is taking fresh aim at luxury-car buyers that have moved onward and upward to other brands. With the ILX concept, Acura's looking for fresh talent. The new four-door makes it clear that...

  • 2012 Acura NSX Concept
    Acura NSX Concept Revealed At 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    After a development program that saw the original plan for the new NSX scrapped, the project abandoned, then revived in its current form, the fact that Acura is showing the NSX Concept at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show at all is something of a miracle. The fact that it looks as good as it does--and...

  • 2013 Acura RDX Prototype
    2013 Acura RDX Concept: 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    Now at the 2012 Detroit auto show, Acura is giving us an advance glimpse of the 2013 Acura RDX—in prototype form—and at first glance the new model looks to be taking a more conservative direction, closer to that of the Honda CR-V, which remains closely related.

  • 2013 Scion FR-S live photos

    The Toyota GT-86 family of coupes has finally seen its third member unveiled in the sheet metal at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. There's nothing to surprise us with the 2013 Scion FR-S, as it gets its power from the same 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine rated at 200 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque as the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT-86. It's also low, swoopy, with some slightly questionable styling around the front fenders. There's even an "86" badge on the fender. Aside from the occasional Scion badge, in fact, there's not a lot to distinguish this model from the others--and since it's...

  • 2013 Lexus LX 570

    2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS Live Photos: 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    With no additional power over the regular Sonic fitted with Chevy’s turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, the new 2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS is more trim level than standalone model but we’re sure this won’t put off too many buyers. That’s because the Sonic RS comes pretty...

  • 2012 Chevrolet Code 130R Concept
    Chevrolet Code 130R Concept Live Photos: 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    Chevrolet has given us a vision of what it thinks buyers of the future, today’s youth, will seek when it comes time for them to drop their hard-earned at a dealership. That vision comes in the form of two striking sports car concepts unveiled today at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show: the...
