Honda has used the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show to announce a range of environmentally friendly technologies it plans to roll out grouped under the new heading of “Earth Dreams Technology”. Similar to Mazda’s “SkyActiv” range of green technologies, Earth Dreams Technology is...

The small electric sports car concept from Honda we showed you earlier this month now has a name: 2011 Honda EV-STER Concept. The open-top concept, whose compact size evokes memories of the CRX, is Honda’s vision of the electric sports car of the future. Being all-electric, it’s...

Subaru has unveiled a new hybrid wagon concept at this week's 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, hinting yet again at a sporty and fuel efficient tourer the automaker is planning to launch in the coming years. The theme of Subaru's stand at its national show focuses on “Enjoyment and Peace of...

The Tokyo Motor Show is well underway and Volkswagen has just taken the wraps off a new concept it calls the Cross Coupé. The concept previews what a compact hybrid crossover can be when combined with style, performance, efficiency, according to Volkswagen. Designed by Walter de Silva and...

Mazda's i-ELOOP system, which will debut on its Takeri concept sedan, uses a capacitor-based energy recovery system.

Meet the new Toyota GT 86 or 2013 Scion FR-S as it will be known in the U.S., the long-awaited production version of the string of FT-86 concept cars seen over the past couple of years. Making its official world debut later this week at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, the stylish sports coupe harks back...

Annie and her Smart 341 Parkour Concept have taken top honors at the recent Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge, which this year focused on the theme of “Hollywood’s Hottest New Movie Car”. Penned at the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studios in Sindelfingen, Germany, the 341...

Whatever you think of the Smart brand and its diminutive two-seater city cars you have to commend its bold, fresh take on modern motoring. It's easy to get the impression that, after years of posting huge losses, the brand is riding out the market until tiny, fuel-efficient cars become genuinely...

This January’s 2012 Detroit Auto Show will see the unveiling of the convertible version of the new 991 series Porsche 911, which as we previously reported will debut an innovative folding roof design offering a sharper look, improved aerodynamics and increased refinement. The new 911...

Dodge will almost certainly introduce a new compact model at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show, and we now know that it won't carry the Hornet name.

The 2012 Audi S6 made its way from its global debut in Frankfurt to its U.S. debut in Los Angeles this week, and we grabbed some more live photos to share with you.

If this year's Los Angeles Auto Show was all about sedans and SUVs, then the most important among them may have been the all-new 2013 Ford Escape. The longer, lower, sleeker, and more feature-packed compact crossover replaces a model that's now a decade old--and still one of the best-selling in its...

Like its tin-top sister, the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible is one potent muscle car--even if it is outpaced by the brand-new 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Sure, it's 70 horsepower short, but it's still a 580-horsepower beast powered by GM's fantastic supercharged 6.2-liter LSA power...

When it comes to muscle cars, few are more muscular than the Mustang Boss 302, particularly in Laguna Seca trim, and especially when it's painted in School Bus Yellow. That makes the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 in these live images a sort of muscle trifecta. Bred in spirit from Parnelli Jones'...

It still hasn't really sunk in yet--it probably won't until our right foot goes to the floor--but the 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 packs 650 horsepower. Six hundred and fifty. That's not just insane, it's totally crazy. That's 50 more horsepower than the Dodge Viper, a car known for being so...

We’ve already seen it in concept form but here finally is the 2013 Infiniti IPL G Convertible that will go on sale next year just in time for summer. The new model, making its debut this week at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, is based around the striking G37 Convertible but gets a few...

The Jaguar XK is growing a bit long in the tooth, but as automakers often do, and as enthusiasts know and love, Jaguar is throwing every trick in the book at the XK to keep it fresh and interesting as its current model cycle winds down. Case in point: the 2012 XKR-S Convertible. Like its hardtop...

At this week’s 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show Lincoln is showing off its latest MKS luxury sedan, which has just undergone a facelift for the 2013 model year. Sadly, like the similarly updated MKT we saw earlier, the stylists at Lincoln were unable to change the look dramatically, which means the...

In typical Lamborghini fashion, the Italian maker of exotic supercars chose to unveil its latest model addition at a private function away from all the hustle and bustle of the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. Fortunately, we knew it was coming and now have all the official images and details. The new...

Lincoln’s full-size MKT crossover hasn’t sold in the quantities the automaker would like to see, so the model gets a fairly substantial refresh for the 2013 model year. Most apparent, even to casual onlookers, is the refined exterior styling, starting with a less-pronounced waterfall...
