The all-new 2011 BMW X3 is heading to dealers, but if you've already ordered yours, BMW has a treat for you. By creating an account on its website, you can actually watch your new baby BMW crossover being built at the company's Spartanburg, South Carolina, assembly plant. There's nothing quite like...

Spy photographs, rumors and conjecture have swirled around Ferrari's replacement for the 612 Scaglietti. After all, new Ferraris are rare, and new Ferrari flagships are rarer still. Today, Ferrari officially unveiled its newest car online ahead of its public debut in Geneva. Dubbed the FF -- for...

In a homage to the 1969 Indianapolis 500 pace car, Chevrolet has announced that for 2011, it will again provide white Camaro convertibles to pace the race around the Brickyard. Only this time, they will be 2011 Camaro Convertible SS models. 2011 marks the 100th anniversary of both Chevrolet and the...

Ferrari says its new FF--its big premiere for the upcoming 2011 Geneva Motor Show--is its first four-wheel-drive sports car ever. The new FF made its online debut today, in advance of the Geneva show, with the explanation that "FF" stands for four-wheel drive and four seats. Powered by a V-12...

Chevrolet is promising to break some Camaro news tonight at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., but the company isn't saying what. It's unlikely that the news will be related to the upcoming Z28--although, who knows?--so we speculate that Chevrolet is likely to unveil something...

One of the criticisms constantly leveled at NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series is that the cars used in the series don't match reality. The Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry, and Chevrolet Impala are all front-wheel-drive mid-size sedans in production form, yet their bodies adorn rear-wheel-drive platforms that...

The automotive aftermarket has not forgotten about V-6 powered Mustangs. ProCharger, which already makes a supercharger that adds 140 horsepower to the 5.0-liter V-8 GT, is about to introduce a new supercharger for the 3.7-liter V-6, which makes 305 horsepower in stock form. With eight pounds of...

The Chevrolet Camaro and American rock star Kid Rock are perhaps two of the more well-known symbols of Detroit, and in honor of the musician's 40th birthday, he was given a brand-new Camaro SS. NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson did the honors, presenting the "Cowboy" with a black SS with black wheels...

We'd thought that the resurrection of the Z28 name for the upcoming high-end Camaro--which will have a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8--was a foregone conclusion. Sure, we'd heard that GM (NYSE:GM) is using the name "HP Edition," but we figured that was just internal speak. But now we're not so sure...

In the recently-released film The Dilemma, Vince Vaughn's character, Ronny Valentine, and his best friend Nick (played by Kevin James), run an automotive supplier business that has to create a "sound-alike" system for hybrid-powered muscle cars. Using a 2011 Dodge Charger as the guinea pig, the duo...

Ford is already auctioning off a 2012 Boss 302 Mustang at Barrett-Jackson this month, and now there is one more Mustang goody on the line. Aftermarket supplier SPX is selling a Ford Mustang FR500S that is modified to meet World Challenge GTS specifications on January 21. The auction, which takes...

Audi has released a new commercial for the all-new 2011 Audi A8, taking on "old luxury and all of your wares" with a twist on the classic bedtime story, "Goodnight Moon." When it comes to German luxury sedans, Audi is widely regarded by reviewers as the smartest kid in the class. But despite its...

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...

Here's another peek at the 2012 Boss Mustang, this time on a dynamometer that Ford brought to the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. There wasn't much in the way of Mustang news, but for those who can't make the show, the gallery above will show you what you're missing. While...

With new versions of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5-Series launched over the past year or two, Audi’s entrant in the mid-size executive sedan segment, the A6, was starting to get a little long in the tooth compared with its rivals. However, that’s all set to change as the brand new...

The Hyundai Veloster is as much an exercise in "why not?" as it is in "why" so don't ask yourself too many questions when you look at these live photos. But beware if you're prone to neurasthenically-induced seizures. For the full details on the 2012 Veloster (and some considerably tamer paint...

It's one of the most hotly anticipated new cars on display at the 2011 Detroit auto show--and maybe that's surprising, since the 40-mpg 2012 Hyundai Veloster comes from humbler beginnings than super cars like the Porsche 918, Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and BMW 650i that also are vying for attention at...

We've already brought you the full details and official studio shots of the 2011 MINI Paceman, the "crossover coupe" version of the MINI Countryman, but now we have live shots from the unveiling at Cobo Hall. Despite the awkward market segment (crossover coupe?) and a name that runs dangerously...

Honda's concepts for the next Civic Coupe and Sedan are out, and their both rather attractive. The concept cars just rolled across the stage in Detroit, and now the official details are out. The two concepts give us the general outline of the 2012 Civic range--the Si Coupe and standard Civic...

The 2011 Detroit Auto Show won't be short on concept cars, particularly from South Korea's automakers. While its cousins at Hyundai are bringing a Curb concept, Kia will pull the covers off the KV7 concept crossover, a blend of SUV cues and minivan seating, with a dash of social media thrown in for...
