Land Rover has reportedly ruled out launching a hybrid version of its new Evoque crossover, despite the automaker previewing the vehicle in concept form equipped with a supplementary electric motor. You may recall that the original LRX concept that previewed the new Evoque was fitted with Land Rover’s innovative ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive) hybrid system, however the production version won’t feature it as conventional diesel technology is proving to be just as good. The information was revealed by Land Rover’s global brand director, John Edwards, who spoke recently with...

2010-11 Land Rover LR2 Recalled For Driver Airbag FailureRecalls are almost as frequent as new model introductions these days, with everything from child seat anchor access to floor mat orientation to blame, but occasionally a serious threat to daily-driving safety arises, and the latest recall of 2010 and 2011 Land Rover LR2s definitely falls into the...

Dynamically designed and arrestingly attractive, the 2012 Range Rover Evoque has won much praise on the auto show circuit and though the crossover is already headed to production, so far only the three-door ‘Coupe’ version has been officially revealed. That is until now. The new 2012 Range Rover Evoque Five-Door has just been revealed ahead of its world debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show next week. Like the Coupe, the Range Rover Evoque Five-Door remains faithful to the dramatic lines of the original Land Rover LRX concept car, offering new levels of style and quality in the...

Celeb Gallery: Juliette Lewis And Four Street Artists Celebrate The Range Rover EvoqueWe told you that Juliette Lewis had been tapped to perform at the Range Rover Evoque launch party during the 2010 Paris Auto Show. You didn't believe us. "Juliette Lewis?" you asked. "Why not Joseph Gordon-Levitt? He's got a band. Last we heard, Keanu had one, too." But do they possess the power of...

You know Juliette Lewis, right? Actress? Singer? A 50/50 cocktail of awesomeness and crazitude, served with a splash of bitters and sweat? THAT Juliette Lewis. The one you haven't heard from in a while. Well, she's about to make a very high-profile appearance next Tuesday night -- at a launch party for the Range Rover Evoque during the Paris Auto Show. We assume that she's performing -- you know, as a musician, not as an actor. It would be awfully weird to get up in front of a bunch of drunk Frenchmen and journalists and recite Ophelia's mad scene from Hamlet. Then again, let us not forget...

Whammer In The Slammer: George Michael Gets Jail Time For Driving While High As A KiteYou know how it goes: you're at a party having a couple of brews, then you utter a few careless whispers, things get a little too funky, and -- boom -- next thing you know, you're slumped across the leather seat of a Range Rover, being roughed up by policemen. (Not in the good way.) We've all been...

Report: Range Rover Evoque To Sport 2.0L Ford EcoBoost EngineToday is a good day for rumors, it seems. The latest: Range Rover's new "baby" Evoque will get a Ford-supplied 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine under its hood. Though completely unsubstantiated at this point, the move would make a certain kind of sense. Tata Motors, the...

News flash: Christina Aguilera has a need for speed. News flashier: unlike many of her pop tartelette colleagues, she wants the legal kind. Behind the link, you'll see a very recent shot of Xtina browsing the merch at a Ferrari dealership in Calabasas, California. Presumably this is what celebrity families do on their days off: slap on some leggings, put their hair in scrunchies, and head out for Funyuns and $400,000 supercars. We could get into that ourselves, if only we had talent and money. Ke$ha gives us hope that we can overcome those minor details. Although the Bratman-Aguileras didn't...

Well, unless Jason has a driver's license. And...

Ten Cars NBA Players Will Be Driving Ten Years From NowWith all the talk of LeBron's departure from Cleveland, I've been wondering what I'd do with that kind of salary. There is no doubt that my dream cars would come in at the top of my list. Rumor has it, "King" James has developed a nice little car collection of his own. He has become a superstar...

This weekend, Michael hit a building after only recently getting his driver's license back from his last scuff with the law. In 2007, Michael was found under the influence of drugs in his...
