With or without a partnership with Daimler, redesigned versions of both the DB9 grand tourer and Vantage sports car are deep in development at Aston Martin. The new DB9, spy shots of which we've already seen, will be first out of the blocks, with a late 2012 or early 2013 reveal expected. Then it’s the Vantage’s turn for a makeover, with the new car most likely arriving in time for the 2014 model year. Today we have the first spy shots of a test-mule for the new Vantage, with camouflage gear only used to hide what appears to be a wider side skirt. Not only could this be to test...

Dodge’s long overdue small car designed to replace the aging Caliber and ride on a fuel efficient platform sourced from Fiat is almost here. This latest spy shot shows a nearly complete prototype wearing Dodge’s trademark crosshair grille and sitting at one of the automaker’s test facilities in the U.S. Additionally, it confirms that Dodge’s new small car will feature a sedan bodystyle, although a five-door hatchback is also expected. Dodge has been teasing us with plans for a fun-to-drive small car since the reveal of the original Hornet Concept back in 2006 but the...

Lamborghini: We'll Confirm Third Model Within WeeksLamborghini will decide by the "beginning of next year" on what form its third model will take--whether it's a sedan, an SUV or something entirely unexpected. The resulting vehicle will not be on sale before 2016, says CEO Stephan Winkelmann. A concept car in advance of the new vehicle seems a...

2013 Audi A6 allroad quattro Spy ShotsLike Volvo's XC line of cars and the Subaru Outback (and to a lesser extent the upcoming Impreza XV), which are essentially toughened, high-riding versions of more mundane family station wagons, the 'allroad quattro' moniker applies to off-road enhanced vehicles based on Audi’s Avant wagon...

Croatia doesn't sound like anything familiar to Americans, but Europeans have been calling it the "new Tuscany" since they turned their timeshare-building, economy-hyperinflating attentions away from the last "new Tuscany" in southern Spain. We're still puzzled about what was wrong with the old Tuscany, but forget that. Croatia has it all. Artfully shambolic stone shacks ripe for conversions into pied-a-terres. Catholic churches by the score, some mere hours from becoming stock-photography bestsellers. Olives and grapes obscure and delicious enough to please the pickiest locavores through one...

2012 Audi TT RS first drive reviewAt first look, the 2012 Audi TT RS could be taken as just another chipped, dressed-up TT, with subtle differences that only a true Audiphile would be able to parse out from a distance. In truth, that’s not at all a bad thing. About 15 minutes into a drive of the new U.S.-spec TT RS...

Generation Y Prefers Internet, Tech And Gadgets To CarsFor the average young person back in the 1950s, only two things really mattered: A hot date for the weekend, and a hot car to go to the local drive-in, diner or secluded spot. Okay, so a Grease-like lifestyle wasn't enjoyed by everybody, but it's a sign of the times that for the youth of Generation...

2012 MINI Cooper Coupe: First DriveThere are at least two ways to look at the arrival of the 2012 MINI Cooper Coupe: "Yay! Another MINI to love!"; and, "Another MINI? Why?" Whichever camp you fall into, the MINI Coupe shouldn't be called just another MINI, despite the fact that it very much is. Before we can make sense of that...

Small cars and Cadillac haven't, historically, gone hand in hand. But they will in the near future, as GM’s luxury brand is close to finishing work on its new 3-Series and C-Class rival. The latest addition to the Cadillac lineup, currently codenamed ATS and likely to stay that way once sales start, is captured here for the first time testing at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany. Production of the ATS is scheduled to start at GM’s Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant in Michigan next year, with the first cars due in showrooms by the summer of that same year. The first model out of...

Known to some as the Fairlady, and others as simply as The Z, there's no question that Nissan has built a cult-like following for this model. It's...

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster: First DriveIt's been nearly two years since we took you along for a first drive of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG gullwing, live from Laguna Seca. We were the first to call it Mercedes' Viper, summing it up thusly: "It's partly American in its tendency to speak out, part Italian in its cool-first aesthetic, and...
