Today at the Detroit Auto Show, Chevrolet has taken the wraps off a pair of small-car concepts, the Code 130R you see here and the Tru 140S, which you can read about here. Each takes a diametrically different look at what the future of a younger-market car might be. The Code 130R is the more...

The other side of Chevy's Detroit Auto Show small concept-car coin from the Code 130R is the Tru 140S.

Joining the Continental GT V8 in Bentley’s lineup this year, but not on the floor at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, is the new Continental GTC V8 luxury convertible, which like its hard-top sibling has also been fitted with a powerful and relatively frugal V-8 option for the 2013 model year...

Ford’s new global design strategy so far appears to be working, with the largely European designed and engineered Fiesta and Focus compacts doing particularly well around the globe, including in the U.S. where such cars have proven to be a hard sell in the past. More recently we saw the 2013...
