  • 2014 BMW Z4

    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 "new" for 2014 Z4 gets updates that include: full access to ConnectedDrive features; three new paint colors: Mineral Grey metallic, Glacier Silver metallic, and Valencia Orange metallic (the last can only be ordered with the Hyper Orange package); updated trim and stitching for the interior; a new...

    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...

  • Lexus LF-CC coupe concept, 2012 Paris Auto Show

    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 debut of the all-new Lexus IS planned for Tuesday, January 15. Though Lexus has released only minimal information about the new IS, we do know it will be based on the LF-CC's design, with cues borrowed from the LFA supercar. As shown at the 2012 Paris Auto Show, the LF-CC is a mid-sized coupe, with a...

  • 2013 SRT Viper GTS

    Each year the 50 jurors of the North American Car and Truck of the Year Awards pick a list of cars, trucks, and utility vehicles that deserve consideration for the top journalist pick of the new model year. The time for the 2013 list is upon us, and while the vast majority of these vehicles will be shorn on the way to shorter lists as the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) draws near, just making the initial long list indicates a degree of success in design. This year, the category name for the Truck of the Year award has been tweaked slightly--the award will be for the top...

  • 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe  -  2012 Detroit Auto Show

    Hyundai's rear-wheel-drive Genesis Coupe has already established a pretty strong reputation among driving enthusiasts and weekend-racer types, and it looks to strengthen that appeal beginning later this year, when a significantly refreshed version hits dealerships.

A new trapezoidal blacked-out grille, along with new LED running lamps and...
