V for versatility. That's the 2012 Toyota Prius V's hook, and though it drops the "MP" from MPV, it's precisely that--and awfully familiar, too. It not only looks a lot like the standard Prius hatch, but with the Ford C-Max and its hybrid variants fresh in our minds, it looks rather like those...

While it showcases both new sportscars on the floor of the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, BMW also has priced its new 2011 1-Series M Coupe and its 2012 650i Convertible. The M Coupe carries a base price of $47,010, including destination and comes stuffed like a Bavarian Christmas stocking with a...

The unveiling of the Porsche 918 RSR hybrid/KERS racer took place just a few hours ago in Detroit, and now we have the official video of the unveiling. Framing the car in history as a spiritual descendant (though not a successor) of the fantastic, fearsome, and brutally fast 917, the video also...

Putting a new face (and a larger size) on the compact crossover/SUV market, the new Ford Vertrek Concept builds on the Escape and Euro-market Kuga to preview Ford's next-gen global offering. This video gives us a closer look, including shots of the infotainment system in operation. We'll have live...

The all-new but largely familiar 2011 Chrysler 300 just rolled across the stage at the Detroit Auto Show. As our crack team of photogs and editors gather the live shots, we've nabbed these official videos of the car for you, one of the unveiling and another with some B-roll footage. Packing more...

The 49 jurors of the North American Car and Truck of the Year awards have spoken: the 2011 Chevrolet Volt and 2011 Ford Explorer are this year's best car and truck. The announcement this morning at the Detroit Auto Show drew a line in the sand for the contentious fan bases of the 2011 Chevrolet...

The hybrid race concept Porsche 918 RSR was just unveiled in Cobo Hall and we have the first live photos of the car for you, fresh from the Porsche stand. It looks even better in real life than it does in the official studio shots, but then, it should. It should also go like a scalded, bionic cat...

You're already expecting a racing coupe version of the wildly popular Porsche 918 Spyder, and this video teaser hints that you'll be getting it. As is typical with factory-approved teasers, we don't get a whole lot of info or visual contact with the concept, but with Bosch-branded livery on the...

The 2012 Volkswagen NMS, or, as we reported earlier today, the 2012 Passat, is due for its official stage debut tomorrow at the Detroit Auto Show, but as happens every year, blew early, and was quickly followed by the official release. The 2012 Volkswagen Passat sedan will start around $20,000 and...

The 2011 Detroit Auto Show is underway, and tonight's reveal of the new Volkswagen "NMS" mid-size sedan is being preceded with word about the car's name. According to a report in the Detroit News, the new sedan will carry the Passat name. If the reports are accurate, the new four-door will follow...

When the 2011 Detroit Auto Show kicks off next week, Hyundai will be one of the brands drawing throngs to its press preview. In part, that's because it's planning the world debut of its unusual 2012 Veloster hatchback--with the promise of 40-mpg fuel economy and a unique four-door body that teams a...

If you can't find a 2012 Boss Mustang at your local dealer--after all, the production numbers are pretty limited--you might want to try Barrett-Jackson, if you have the means. The auction house is having its 40th Annual Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, on January 22nd, and to...

Like the size and look of the new Chevrolet Cruze but think its packaging and trim are just a little too mainstream? Well, the new 2012 Buick Verano may be just what you’re looking for as it’s essentially a more upmarket version of the Chevy compact sedan. Making its debut at the 2011...

Ford's Sync system continues to offer new features, and another is on the way for Sync-equipped Mustangs. AppLink allows smart-phone users to use voice recognition to control their apps. The Mustang will be the first Ford vehicle to integrate AppLink with the optional navigation system. This will...

When the police pull you over because you've been careening recklessly through a suburban neighborhood, you shouldn't slam your Camaro into reverse and smack into a police car several times. Because if you do, you'll end up in handcuffs. And in this day and age, on YouTube. See, those who work in...

We've heard that iPad owners can be a tad obsessive, but this is bordering on the ridiculous. Or the ridiculously awesome. Here's the story: A customer ordered a 5.0 GT with navigation and Sync, and when the car arrived with Sync but without nav, instead of asking to have the mistake rectified by...

In a throwback to the muscle-car glory days, two Chevrolet dealers are using GM factory parts and the General Motors ordering system to create custom Camaros that pump out as much as 700 horsepower. Not all of the parts are Camaro parts--some appear to come straight out of the Corvette catalog...

Joseph Gosinski, a California-based Mustang customizer, was found dead in his shop on Christmas Eve. The 44-year-old was shot in the chest in his Torrance, California shop. Police don't suspect robbery in the death of the Chicane Sport Tuning owner. Indeed, there are few leads so far. There has...

Feeling the post Christmas blahs? Want to hear a few more Christmas carols before the new year? Perhaps with a muscle car edge? Well, this amazing singing Mustang uses its engine to hum the first few bars of "Silent Night." Sure, it might be a well-produced fake, but it's pretty fun. Check it out...

The 2011 MINI Countryman is the first four-door in the British brand's lineup--but a new two-door version could be in the works, if the MINI Paceman concept is any indication. The Paceman concept will make its world debut at the 2011 Detroit auto show on January 10. Calling the new design study a...
