Today, we get confirmation that the V-8 version will make its official debut at...

  • Infiniti IPL G Convertible Concept

    Industry cutbacks, especially in the areas of advertising and marketing, have taken more and more visible forms in the recent past as automakers chose to skip major shows including even the once prestigious Detroit Auto Show. In fact, some of the major brands that chose to skip an appearance at the Detroit event in recent years have included Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Land Rover, Suzuki as well as Nissan and its upmarket Infiniti division. We can gladly report that both Nissan and Infiniti will be attending the 2012 Detroit Auto Show next January, ending its two-year hiatus from the show, arguably...

    Video: 2012 Ford C-Max Live Unveiling At 2011 Detroit Auto Show

    The U.S. set to fall in love with a whole new generation of minivans, ones that fit into a smaller segment than we’re used to, and ones with a little bit of European flair. Of course, we’re talking about the new 2012 Ford C-Max, which made its North American debut this week at the 2011...

    2012 Audi A6 Wins EyesOn Design Award At Detroit Auto Show

    Understated, simple, even plain. Audi's design themes--outside of the S and RS lines, at any rate--are often a bit sleepy, but they're always tight, clean, and sleek. The 2012 Audi A6 is no different, winning recognition from the EyesOn Design award at the Detroit Auto Show this week. The 2012 Audi...

    2011 Detroit Auto Show: Bentley CEO Departs During Booming Sales

    While sales of mass-market cars struggled toward a recovery in 2010, sales of luxury cars—and in particular, some of the priciest ultra-luxury models—have been hot. Bentley is yet another example. According to Bentley CEO Franz-Josef Paefgen, from a press conference at its stand in the...

    Earning the nickname of Grand Cherokee’s little brother, for good reason, the new 2011 Jeep Compass comes with new styling and several new standard features to better position itself in the fuel-efficient crossover segment. While the previous model looked downright frumpy, the new 2011 Jeep...

    2011 Detroit Auto Show: GMC Sierra All Terrain HD Concept Live Photos

    Ford's F-150 SVT Raptor is the undisputed king of production off-road truck awesomeness, but we’re sure--if ever built--a production version of the 2011 GMC Sierra All Terrain HD pickup truck concept could sure give it a run for its money. In live form the truck looks every bit as menacing...

  • 2011 Kia KV7 Concept. Photo by Joe Nuxoll.

    There's no doubt Kia and sister company Hyundai have managed to pull off two of the most extreme makeovers of their corporate images the industry has seen in the last decade. Cars like the Optima, Sorento, and Sportage put Kia firmly at the front of the class in design in their respective segments. So it's not surprising Kia's latest concept, the KV7, looks pretty impressive too. Though it has some aspects of both the Honda Element and the Ford Flex in its proportions, the overall look of the KV7 is unique, particularly on the inside, where combo gullwing/standard doors open on a...

    Is Chrysler Now a Luxury Contender?

    There's a good reason that Chrysler isn't thought of as a luxury brand. For decades, Chrysler's lineup consisted of little more than chromed-up Dodges, and when that wasn't the case, the cars weren't exactly luxury-grade. However, things are changing fast. The unwanted Aspen SUV is gone, along with...

    Looking to see the 2012 Hyundai Veloster J-turning, sliding into parking spots sideways, smoking the front tires, and generally hooning about? This isn't the video for you. If you like synchronized driving on two-lane desert roads, though, you're in luck. Not a lot goes on in the video aside from...

    If you haven't seen the 2011 Chrysler 300 by now, we hope you're recovering well from your coma. Plastered around the web and everywhere else Chrysler could get it, the new 300 takes the sinister look of the original and brings it up to date without changing too much. It looks pretty sharp in...

    It was shown as a concept, but the MINI Paceman crossover/coupe has already been given the greenlight for production, rocketing this world premiere from interesting to important. It was also intensely odd event, as you'll see in the video below. MINI, as a brand, has embraced the odd in its...
