Fresh from its "preview" in "concept" form at the Detroit Auto Show, the 2012 Honda Civic is here, and it looks pretty good. It also offers the all-important 40 mpg in two trims--HF and Hybrid. The entire 2012 Civic lineup is more efficient, but it's the HF and Hybrid that headline: the...

The Nissan ESFLOW electric sports car concept isn’t scheduled to be unveiled until the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in just a couple of weeks but we have live images of the car, which were taken at a special media presentation held earlier today in Frankfurt, Germany. Most of its specs are already...

We’ve known that the awesome Audi TT RS--and its RS5 big brother--would be making it to the U.S. in 2011 for some time now, and at this past week’s 2011 Chicago Auto Show the TT RS finally made its local debut. Unfortunately, there are still no plans to bring over the Roadster version...

Two-doors are in vogue again, it seems, with every almost every major luxury manufacturer showing off a new coupe in recent months. Mercedes-Benz joins the rolls today with the 2012 C-Class Coupe ahead of its Geneva Motor Show debut. Replacing the last-gen CLC Coupe, the new C-Class Coupe rides on...

Joining the recently revealed 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan in showrooms later this year will be a brand new C-Class Coupe, which has been leaked once again ahead of its debut next month at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe exudes a certain exuberance and design...

When the facelifted 2012 Nissan GT-R range rolled out late last year, not only were we treated with some new styling and a more powerful engine, but the introduction of two completely new models as well. These new models include the racing circuit dedicated "Club Track" edition and an...

A report on an enthusiast site and numbers on the official EPA fuel economy site point toward a new Camaro model optimized to achieve 30 mpg highway. The current base V-6, automatic-equipped 2011 Camaro is rated at 29 mpg, so the gain isn't huge--just 1 mpg city and highway--but it's the round 30...

The reveal of the new 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe is just around the corner, with recent reports suggesting that a debut at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show in late April is looking more and more likely. It’s safe to say that we already know pretty much what the new luxury two-door will look like...

Lotus only took the covers off its more powerful Evora S at the 2010 Paris Auto Show last September but apparently the automaker has a much more substantial update planned for the car in the lead up to the arrival of the new Esprit and a host of other sports cars from the guys at Hethel over the...

Half the fun of driving the Honda Civic Si or its true sports car stablemate, the S2000, is the high-rpm engagement of VTEC (yo!) and the surge of power that comes with it. It's not an ideal flat torque curve that delivers the goods; it's the rush. But that may change for the next-gen Civic Si. The...

Jaguar's new XF and XJ sedans have made waves in sport-luxury seas, bringing a newer, fresher face to what was once a bit of a stodgy lineup. Now it looks like Jaguar may be planning even more boat-rocking, with several new models in the pipeline including a sports car, a BMW 3-Series rival and an...

The 2011 Geneva Motor Show is just around the corner and speculation of some of the show’s surprise unveilings are starting to seriously heat up. The latest is rumor of a new sports car concept from Alfa Romeo dubbed the 4C GTA Coupe. While news of the 4C’s existence is nothing new...

As we trace the slow but steady progress of the 2012 McLaren MP4-12C to market, today brings a milestone: the start of regular production in the company's Technology Centre (MTC). Full series production will take place at the not-yet-completed McLaren Production Center (MPC), but the first batch of...

Mercedes-Benz hasn’t done a very good job of keep its upcoming C-Class Coupe a secret, with official images of the stylish two-door leaking onto the Internet last month and now the first shots of a prototype for the high-performance AMG variant being revealed. This latest AMG model is likely...

Have you ever wanted to drive a gigantic black beetle through a temperate rain forest? Volkswagen may just have you covered with the next New Beetle if this teaser video is any indication. Of course, the actual car won't look much like a six-legged insect at all, eschewing the arched top for a more...

The big, bawdy, supercharged version of the reborn Chevy Camaro has been brewing for ages now, but the latest rumor is that it will finally make its debut in just two weeks at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. Excited? Don't get too wound up just yet. The information is anything but official, though it...

This will be a partial defense of the Scion tC. I find myself in this odd position having read Bengt Halvorson’s less than glowing overview of the car. Mind you, I get where Bengt’s coming from. The tC has been upgraded, but it’s a poseur in the cheap two-door sports car market;...

A 29-year old man in West Palm Beach, Florida died instantly when he was thrown from his car, an E92 BMW M3 Coupe, during a crash yesterday morning. By the looks of the aftermath the driver, a man by the name of Daniel Portela, didn’t stand a chance, especially when you consider that his car...

Cadillac is set to return to the world of motorsport, with a brand new race car based on the new 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and the backing of Pratt & Miller of Corvette Racing C6R fame. Seen here for the first time conducting some laps at Sebring International Raceway in Florida is...

Over the past year or so most of the buzz surrounding Jaguar’s future sports car lineup has centered on a new roadster model dubbed the XE, which is expected to arrive in the next year or two. However, to keep sales of the current XK and high-performance XKR chugging along in the meantime...
