According to Jalopnik, Ford chairman Bill Ford Jr. has publicly stated that a turbocharged Mustang is on the way. Ford Jr. didn't get into specifics, but likely engine choices would either be a 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 or a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder. A turbocharged...

Update: The official details on the 2012 BMW M5 are out. Click here to view our latest post. BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer has previously revealed that future BMW powertrains will be downsized in an effort to improve fuel-efficiency and reduce emissions, and that even the hallowed ‘M’...

Several Dodge products are in line to receive an upcoming eight-speed automatic transmission, and the Dodge Challenger SE is one of them. The current five-speed automatic will likely stick around for a bit, but Autoblog is reporting that the brand's LX platform cars--the Charger and...

Lee Iacocca, one of the automotive industry's most legendary figures, worked with Metal Crafters in 2009 to create the Lee Iacocca Silver 45th Anniversary Edition Mustang. Only 45 of these cars were built, and Iacocca had one--number 19 of 45--built for himself. Iacocca has put that car up for...

According to Autoblog, Chevrolet will continue to crank out different editions of the Camaro. There's the ZL1 top-dog, of course, and a still-rumored Z28 could still hit showrooms along with perhaps a slightly-more fuel-efficient V-6 model. Other special editions we could see this year? An edition...

Just a few days ago we reported that BMW would be bringing a new roadster concept to the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and today, just a few weeks out from the show, the wraps have come off the stunning new concept car. Rather than preview a specific production model--though we could envisage this being...

It's been 50 years since Shelby had an official presence at an auto show, and the company made good use of its appearance at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show by debuting the convertible version of its Shelby GT350 Mustang. This is the first convertible GT350 since 1970, and it will be part of a limited...

The current-generation Acura TL's styling has been controversial since its debut a few years ago. In this case, "controversial" is a euphemism for "ugly." It's unfortunate, because the TL is actually a pretty good car, especially TLs with a six-speed manual. Well, the near-universal derision has...

While the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 has gotten most of the attention lately, that doesn't mean that the R/T trim has been forgotten. Slotted as the mid-level trim between the V-6 powered SE and the top-line SRT8 392, the R/T doesn't change much from 2010, but there are subtle differences. The...

-It's here. It's finally here. And it's going to be called the ZL1, not the Z28 as originally thought. Yes, we're talking about the new top-dog 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, which was unveiled today at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. After months of rumors that the Z28 name would be resurrected, we now know...

In order to fight the fairly fuel-efficient V-6 Mustang--and perhaps as a way to offset any fuel-economy penalties from an upcoming Z28 model--it looks like Chevy might be readying a 2LS V-6 Camaro. According to GM Inside News, this car is already on the way and will be priced at $24,700. It will...

There's a Challenger with a Richard Petty/NASCAR paint theme on the loose, created by the King himself as the first in his signature series, and it even made it to Jay Leno's garage. It sports a supercharged engine that pumps out 610 horsepower over the 425 that came standard in pre-2011 cars...

Another day, another Chevrolet ad featuring the Camaro. Like the other one we profiled this week, this one is set to air during Super Bowl XLV between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. This one mocks the thought process behind car ads, and like the first, has a slight...

You might have some preconceptions about cars sold in emerging automotive markets such as India. The overriding impression is probably one of cheapness, befitting of a nation whose population are still significantly poorer of those in more developed markets. Another might be durability, since even...

Not only is Chevrolet giving a 2011 Camaro Convertible to the MVP of Super Bowl XLV, it is also buying air time in the big game. Take a gander below at the ad, which places a twist on traditional dealer advertising. [YouTube, Chevrolet]

Ford has taken some ribbing in the past few years for its "special edition" Mustangs, which often amount to little more than an extra badge and/or some vinyl paint stripes, plus a few bundled options. Well, apparently Porsche sees some method to the madness, and has introduced its own special-paint...

This special Boss 302 was auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson in Arizona last weekend and it brought in $450,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. On the other hand, the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro that was sold at the same auction earned $225,000 for the David Foster Foundation. Strike another...

The wraps are finally off Pagani’s new supercar, the Huayra (pronounced why-eera), which like the Zonda it replaces was named after a South American wind. Also like the Zonda, aerodynamics once again played a major role in the car’s development, which is one of the primary reasons that...

If the 20th Century was all about improvements in safety and performance for the motor car, the 21st Century see these criteria joined by efficiency. We're seeing a phoenix-like rise by the electric car, and manufacturers are finally taking steps to reduce vehicle weight, improve aerodynamics and...

Your humble editor will be heading to sunny Southern California to drive the 2011 Camaro Convertible this week, and I'd like to know if any of you in readerland have any questions for myself or the Camaro engineers, PR folks, and designers, regarding the upcoming 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible...
