  • Ford Bronco concept, 2004 Detroit Auto Show

    Sometimes all it takes to learn a juicy bit of product news is a little bit of controversy. In response to Donald Trump's attack on Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] for moving production of its Focus, C-Max and C-Max Energi compact cars to Mexico, the Blue Oval has said that zero jobs will be lost in Michigan, and the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne will get two new vehicles. This past February, Ford announced plans for four new SUV nameplates in the next four years. While Ford hasn't been specific about what vehicles Michigan Assembly will get, Bill Johnson, chairman of UAW local 900 that...

    2018 Dodge Challenger ADR (wide-body SRT Hellcat) spy shots

    Dodge’s wide-body Challenger is real. Prototypes for a new range-topping Challenger, one positioned above the SRT Hellcat, have been spotted testing on Michigan roads ahead of a likely market launch in 2017. This would make it a 2018 model. The prototypes are wearing standard body panels but...

  • Ram Rebel TRX concept, 2016 State Fair of Texas
    Ram unloads new details, video for Hellcat-powered Rebel TRX

    Ram’s mission statement for the Rebel TRX concept was simple: Build a high-horsepower off-roading truck with the ability to clear miles of desert in the blink of an eye. That should make Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] a little bit worried, because while the Blue Oval is heading down the...

  • 2017 Infiniti Q60
    2017 Infiniti Q60 Red Sport first drive review: Truth in truth

    The 2017 Infiniti Q60 tells no lies. In top trim, Q60 Red Sport 400, the Q60 delivers on every one of its promises: It’s one better than the Q50 (from which its related); there is in fact, a red S (which is also part of Infiniti’s even more confusing nomenclature now); and every bit of...

  • 2017 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car, 2016 Paris auto show

    Don't think there's any relevance or relationship between modern road and race cars? Then meet the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, which shares around 80 percent of its components with the 911 GT3 RS road car—and the remaining 20 percent mostly concerns safety and weight reduction, rather than raw performance. The latest version of Porsche’s entry-level 911 race car—there’s the GT3 R and RSR above it—made its debut on Thursday at the 2016 Paris auto show. It’s an update of the GT3 Cup introduced for the 2013 motorsport season, and has been improved mostly by new...

  • 2018 Audi Q5, 2016 Paris auto show

    A redesigned Audi Q5 made its debut on Thursday at the 2016 Paris auto show, one that’s lighter, more dynamic and more fuel-efficient that the model it replaces. The vehicle features a design inspired by the larger Q7 and with its sculpted lines and bold grille appears much more masculine than the predecessor model. Specifications are yet to be announced for the United States but we can expect the base powertrain to be a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4. A diesel is looking unlikely given the Volkswagen Group's ongoing diesel woes but we could see Audi offer a Q5 Hybrid this time around...

  • Honda Civic Type R Prototype, 2016 Paris auto show
    Honda Civic Type R Prototype debuts in Paris

  • 2017 Land Rover Discovery, 2016 Paris auto show

    The Discovery is back. Land Rover will revive the nameplate it retired in the 2005 model year, while it sends the LR4 nameplate to the archives. The new Discovery will team up with the Discovery Sport on the more rugged side of the Land Rover brand, while the luxury side of the house continues to purvey the Range Rovers--including RR Sport and Evoque. Compared with rivals like the BMW X5, Mercedes GLE-Class, and Audi Q7, the Discovery has a tougher reputation to live up to, given that the original plowed through ruts from Malaysia to Belize. In terms of styling, it's a softer, more...
