  • 2013 BMW X5 M

    The pricing, photos, and a new video of the 2013 BMW X5 M have been released, and while the changes are subtle, it's still one mean beast of an SUV. Volkswagen has whipped the sheets off the Beetle TDI ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, and the oil-burner is surprisingly efficient--though perhaps not as efficient as it could be. Ferrari's 2012 F1 car, the F2012, shows its face online as the world gears up for the 2012 season debut 41 days from now in Melbourne--though the F2012 will make its testing debut in Jerez next week. Catch all of these stories and more in the day's car news headlines...

  • Audi 3.0 BiTDI diesel V-6

    Diesel's ascendance in the U.S. is a story that's been slow to develop momentum. For years, we've been hearing they're coming--and many are already here--but they're still just not a major factor in the marketplace. Mass buying preferences aside, however, there are some brilliant examples out there, and Audi's U.K. arm has just announced what looks to be another: a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 BiTDI engine rated at 308 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Those are solid figures, to be sure. BMW's 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel yields engaging performance and surprising fuel economy...
