In August of 2011, Cadillac announced it was building its own extended-range electric car, based on the Converj concept and utilizing an evolved (but not yet second-generation) version of the Chevrolet Volt’s drivetrain. Dubbed the ELR, the shapely coupe is scheduled to hit the market in late...

Whether you’re fan of its styling or not, the people behind the 2013 Lincoln MKZ deserve a lot of credit. The sedan, in its hybrid form, has just had its gas mileage rated by the EPA at 45 mpg across the board--city, highway and combined. This puts it ahead of most rivals in the mid-size...

Two drivers taking part in a Ferrari cruise in China over the weekend unfortunately met with a very nasty accident, which saw both of their exotics destroyed.

Following the debut of the facelifted 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo coupe range at last month’s 2012 Paris Auto Show, the first images and details for the 2013 Gallardo Spyder have now hit the Web. They reveal the same aggressive look that we saw on the coupe, plus a few unique elements. The car...

Bentley gave us the biggest indication yet that it’s seriously considering a return to motorsports with the unveiling of the striking Continental GT3 Concept at the recent 2012 Paris Auto Show. While any motorsport debut for Bentley is likely to be years away still, the automaker has...

Lexus has redesigned its flagship LS sedan for the 2013 model year to be more luxurious and more refined than the model it replaces. Unfortunately, these changes (and the strong Japanese yen versus the weak U.S. dollar) mean that prices on Lexus’ premier luxury sedan are going up. The...

If you want to get your hands on a Volvo C30 hatchback, we’d advise you not to wait much longer. In order to “better position Volvo for the future,” the automaker will discontinue C30 production in December, ending the compact hatch with the 2013 model year. Volvo’s official...

The 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder LP 560-4 has been revealed, and like its hardtop sister, it's a case of minor upgrades and adjustments rather than a hardcore redesign. Mercedes' CLA 45 AMG has been spied again, this time showing the final shape--though still camouflaged--of the upcoming small...

UPDATE: The 2014 Maserati Quattroporte has been revealed. Click here for all the photos and details. Maserati is in the midst of an ambitious new model roll-out plan that will see the automaker’s lineup not only freshened but injected with some brand new models. Fiat Group CEO Sergio...

Maserati is about to embark on an ambitious plan to increase its sales almost 10-fold within the next several years. Key to the plan succeeding is the launch of several higher volume models, including a new SUV that will be based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee and produced at a Chrysler plant just...

The previous generation of the Audi S8 was a bit odd among the full-size performance sedan crowd, though it was odd in a way we liked. Power came from a high-revving 5.2-liter V-10 whose design was derived from the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo supercar, and its rating was an...

Jaguar Land Rover has announced the recall of certain 2012 Range Rover models, which may have had their windshields improperly installed during the assembly process.

Lexus recently held a competition on its Facebook page where the prize was a chance to test drive an LFA and experience the supercar at the Skip Barber Racing School at Laguna Seca. Oh, and the winner was also to receive some one-on-one time with pro racer and Lexus spokesman Scott Pruett. Well...

Mercedes-Benz has committed to developing and launching ten new models by the year 2020, and a fresh product line may be exactly what the luxury automaker needs to combat lagging sales. That said, can Mercedes-Benz introduce new models quickly enough to catch rivals Audi and BMW, and will the...

While a Lamborghini SUV based on the recent Urus concept is yet to be given the green light for production, it’s widely accepted that a similar high-end SUV from Bentley, previewed by the EXP 9 F concept, is already close to having its final design signed off. However, the latest reports...

At its launch in late 2009 Lexus confirmed its over-the-top supercar, the two-seat, V-10 powered LFA, would be limited to just 500 units in total and that the cars would be painstakingly assembled at the rate of just 20 per month. At that rate, production of the LFA is slated to end this December...

When Volvo announced it was signing NBA star Jeremy Lin as a pitchman for its cars last March, “Linsanity” was everywhere. It seemed impossible to turn on televised news without hearing the latest exploits of the New York Knicks’ unlikely superstar point guard. In the seven months...

Acura has sunk a considerable amount of time, money and effort into the 2013 ZDX crossover, trying to make the oddly-styled Jack-of-all-trades vehicle more appealing to the general public. The 2013 Acura ZDX will get a restyled grille; parking sensors front and rear; power folding mirrors and a...
