Detroit Auto Show

  • MINI John Cooper Works Paceman

    We’re now just a few weeks out from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and in the lead up to the event a number of automakers are starting to preview their cars and concepts set for debut. Just yesterday we saw Cadillac tease its new 2014 ELR as well as BMW announce its full Detroit lineup, and now it’s MINI’s turn. The highlight on MINI's stands will be the 2013 Paceman, which goes on sale in March and is priced from $23,900, including destination. The new Paceman is essentially a coupe version of the Countryman, and though it features a sleek two-door body it still comes with...

    BMW Announces Limited Edition 1-Series, Confirms Detroit Lineup

    The BMW 1-Series Coupe and Convertibles, on sale since 2008, are about to enter their final model year, and to mark the occasion BMW is launching a pair of special edition models.

    2014 BMW Z4 Preview: Fresh Looks, More ConnectedDrive

    It's not often that we're flabbergasted by a manufacturer's choice of updates for a car, but now it's happened twice in one evening. First Infiniti goes all Q on us, and now BMW decides to release the second half of what should have been a one-part model refresh. Why would we say that? Because the...

    2014 Mercedes-Benz E Class Sedan & Wagon Preview

    Mercedes-Benz's E Class traces a long and storied history through post-war Pontons and space race-era Fintails through to the W124, the first model properly called an E Class. Today, we get a new iteration of the E Class, and while it's not an entirely fresh start, it's an evolution. Updates for...

    2013 North American Car & Truck/Utility Of The Year Finalists Revealed

    This is a momentous year for the 2013 NACTOY awards: The name of the truck award has officially changed to North American Truck/Utility of the Year. Despite this nomenclature change, the finalists in the category continue to bear little or no resemblance to the title of the award. All joking aside...

    2014 Acura MDX Prototype Teaser: 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    The Acura MDX isn't really a standout SUV in any respect, but we've always had a soft spot for its look--for some reason, it just wears its size well. But now we have to prepare ourselves for a new MDX, as Acura will be showing a 2014 MDX prototype at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. The current MDX is...

  • 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe

    The M-enhanced version of BMW’s svelte 6-Series Gran Coupe has been one of the worst kept secrets of the year, with barely disguised prototypes, teasers and official comments all making it obvious a new M car was in the works. Now, BMW has finally revealed its new 2014 M6 Gran Coupe, ahead of a sales launch early next summer. Like the latest versions of the M5 and M6 coupe and convertible duo, with which it shares a platform, the M6 Gran Coupe follows a familiar path of performance tuning. Up front is a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine rated at 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of...

    The auto industry is just past the rather less-than-inspiring 2012 L.A. Auto Show, and already, it's gearing up for the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, which, we hope, will have more in the way of interesting new cars. Lexus is certainly looking to make the show a bit more interesting, with the global...

  • 2014 Maserati Quattroporte

    The covers have finally come off one of the most anticipated cars of next year, the all-new 2014 Maserati Quattroporte. Set to debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January, the new flagship sedan is the first of Maserati's modernized lineup with which the automaker hopes to increase sales almost 10-fold within the next couple of years. Maserati is keeping most of the details on its new Quattroporte secret, but we can confirm it’s longer and roomier than the outgoing model. It’s also expected to be lighter and more powerful. Underneath the new sheet metal is a mostly steel...

    Back in Detroit last year, Acura revealed a concept version of the reborn NSX supercar. During that Detroit show, Acura said a revived NSX would come to showrooms within three years. It looks like we'll get to see the production version a bit sooner than that. According to Auto Express, a Honda...

    Will Popular Demand Prompt Lexus To Build The LF-LC?

    When Lexus unveiled its LF-LC concept at this year’s Detroit Auto Show, it was clear about one thing: the car was a design concept, so it wouldn’t be heading to a Lexus showroom any time soon. In fact, Lexus didn’t even provide details about the car’s drivetrain, saying only...

    2012 Tesla Model S: Video Preview

    The Tesla Model S sedan is looking to change the game of electric car ownership, taking range up to 300 miles and performance into serious sport sedan range, all while packing as much luxury and tech--or more--as any German or Japanese gas-burning alternative. That's a tall order for any car, much...

  • 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo  -  2012 Detroit Auto Show

    The 2013 Veloster Turbo is promising a lot more driving enjoyment to match what's already a very exciting package. Under the hood is a new turbocharged version of the company's 'Gamma' 1.6-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder engine—that's the same engine that's in the Veloster and Accent—but here it's fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and pumps out 201 horsepower, along with a lot more torque that should be accessible at much lower revs. That should not only make the Veloster a blast to drive, but it should remedy the lack of low-rev torque that we've found in the non-turbo...
