The 2014 Acura MDX, seen here in live images from this week’s Detroit Auto Show, is officially listed as a “prototype.” As with most new product introductions from Honda and Acura in recent years, we suspect the production version will look a lot like the vehicle pictured here...

Teething problems of its plug-in hybrid drivetrain aside, it’s likely that we can all agree on one thing: the Fisker Karma is a good-looking car. Its design may not be breathtaking, but its tastefully-penned lines will likely look as good in ten years as they do today. “If only,”...

If Lincoln is to succeed as a luxury brand, this much is clear: it needs more products than it currently has in its catalog. Chief among these is a compact luxury crossover, since the segment has experienced rapid growth in recent years. Enter the Lincoln MKC compact crossover concept, the...

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 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.

Jeep has introduced a substantial update for its 2014 Grand Cherokee, which sees the big SUV receive new styling, a fuel-efficient diesel option and an eight-speed automatic as standard across the board. The SRT8 is still part of the lineup but as the newest addition to the now standalone SRT...

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...

Volkswagen has given a preview of a new model destined for production that it hopes will attract young families. The preview came in the form of a stylish new crossover concept that’s remarkably fuel efficient. Called the CrossBlue, the new concept was unveiled this week at the 2013 Detroit...

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...
