Familiar lines present the acquired taste that is the Porsche Panamera, only this time it comes slightly tweaked in Turbo S form. At first glance, there's not much to distinguish this car from the Turbo, though a closer look reveals unique 20-inch wheels, a wider rear track width, unique lower-body...

Nissan’s most affordable model in the U.S., the Versa Sedan, has been completely redesigned for the 2012 model year, gaining new technology, a more powerful yet fuel efficient engine and a very low pricetag. How low? The 2012 Nissan Versa Sedan, on show this week at the 2011 New York Auto...

The New York Auto Show seemed sort of an odd place to introduce the 2011 Jeep Wrangler Mojave, a vehicle that's named after the dusty Mojave Trail and Mojave Desert in California. The 2011 Jeep Wrangler Mojave starts as a Wrangler Sport but gets upgraded hardware plus some desert-themed cues. With...

Take a look at the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, and you might not need that testosterone injection. In addition to the stronger stance and racy details, it makes 465 horsepower from 6.4 liters and can get from zero to 60 in just 4.8 seconds, according to Jeep. Paddle-shifters are standard...

We first say the Minagi back at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show but the cool looking crossover concept has appeared again, this time at the 2011 New York Auto Show, along with the confirmation that it is a preview of a new compact crossover in the works dubbed the Mazda CX-5. The new CX-5 will serve as...

You thought the Fiat 500 was small enough? Zagato disagrees, and has the hardware to prove it. The 500 Coupe Zagato does away with a healthy chunk of the standard 500's rear quarters, going instead with a sloping roof and spoiler to give it a more coupe-like profile. We say coupe-like because it's...

Not to be outdone by Porsche's resurrection of the Semper Vivus, Mercedes-Benz trotted out its 1902 Simplex 28 at the Geneva Motor Show today. A sports car in its day, the 35-horsepower car demonstrated some of the virtues that would later become commonplace in performance four-wheeled hardware...

Yes, it may look a bit like an Isuzu Impulse, but it's actually one of two takes on the next-generation of Volkswagen small cars: the Italdesign Giugiaro Tex Concept. We think it has a bit of Scirocco in it, too, and that's certainly not a bad thing. It also has a bit of a plug-in hybrid...

It wasn't so long ago that the Kia Rio was synonymous with rental car hell. It looks like that's about to change, with the 2012 Rio hatchback on display in Geneva. The official press photos looked promising, and judging by these live photos, Kia has followed through on the promise. Sporting a...

Sharing much of its core specs with the Nissan Juke--and likely its underpinnings, too, given the size and shape--the Renault Captur shows that quirky doesn't have to be ugly. The live photos show how more organic lines give proportion to the small crossover package. With a 1.6-liter...

Lately, the Smart brand has been focusing more on electrified vehicles, releasing its Smart Fortwo Electric Drive minicar and following this up with concept versions of an electric bike and scooter. Now, at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Smart has unveiled its Forspeed electric roadster concept...

Toyota is certainly drawing out the development of its new rear-wheel drive sports car, having first shown a concept of its future model back in 2009 and now two years later showing yet another concept of it. Of course, we’re talking about the FT-86, which at this week’s 2011 Geneva...

A couple of weeks ago, we made the case that the 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid is the best value in the performance/luxury hybrid game, despite its $95,900 starting price. We stand by that analysis, as the new Panamera S Hybrid even manages to look good--as good as any Panamera, anyway--in the...

Packing the beauty of Alfa's 8C Competizione into a much smaller package, the itty-bitty Alfa Romeo 4C Concept is 200 horsepower of 1.75-liter turbo four-cylinder goodness wrapped in mid-engine KTM X-Bow handling with a frothy Italian topping. We want it. Fortunately, Alfa is going to build it for...

You've seen it plowing through snow and rocketing through dusty dunes, but now you get to see it on display live from Geneva. The 2012 Ferrari FF, the Prancing Horse's first all-wheel drive car, looks fantastic in its shooting brake glory. With 651 horsepower from its 6.2-liter V-12 engine and 504...

While it may not be as exciting as some of the performance and luxury models on display at this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the new Audi A3 Sedan Concept has an irresistible quality that’s hard to ignore. Perhaps it’s because the styling is reminiscent of the previous B5 Audi...

Arguably one of the most anticipated debuts at this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the all-new 2011 Pagani Huayra has been revealed and we have to admit that its controversial styling is starting to grow on us. Perhaps it’s the 700 horsepower twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 engine...

Positioned as a curious "3+1" seater with three doors and a scant 10-foot overall length, the 2011 MINI Rocketman concept is one MINI that’s actually mini. It’s currently only a design study, though it certainly looks like it could be promoted to the big leagues if the reception is warm...

We asked "why?" when we first saw the 2011 Rinspeed BamBoo concept last year, and we once again feel compelled to question this car's existence. It's not moving, it's not appealing, and it's never going to be sold to anyone for real money. But nonetheless, here it is, in all its self-important...

Silently cruising in a seemingly impregnable fortress of fine leather, sensuous wood and hand-built steel and glass is the ultimate goal of the hyper-luxury automakers like Rolls-Royce and Bentley, so it's not surprising at all that an all-electric Rolls-Royce Phantom was trotted out in front of...
