And yes, Ford's F-150 and Toyota's...

Last time we saw Snoop Dogg, he'd rented a battalion of Packards for his wife's 35th birthday party. Last time we saw Bret Michaels...well, we haven't actually seen BM around here, though we did catch him taking a spin at the Tonys. Apparently, both have recovered well enough to help shill the 2011...

Pricing details for the 2012 Ford Mustang are beginning to leak out, and the news is mixed. The good news first: The base Mustang GT sees its price slashed by $500.

If you've got $5 less than $30,000 to spend, you can get yourself a 2011 Lexus CT 200h. Or, if you actually like driving, you can get a 2012 Mustang GT. That's a drop of $500 from last year, making the 412-horsepower 5.0-liter Mustang one of the best performance values around. Sure, you still have...

The current Ford Escape (pictured) has lived an abnormally long life, still based, albeit distantly, on the Mazda 626. But that's about to change with a new concept slated for introduction next month at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Details on the vehicle itself remain hazy, as Ford announced the...
