We've spied the next version of Mercedes-Benz's hottest four-door coupe several times already, but today the wait is over to see beneath the camo to the real thing. Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the 2012 CLS63 AMG live at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. Despite hanging onto the "63" nomenclature like...

We brought you the full details on the new CL-Class AMG line back in July, complete with the impressive new 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 under the hood. Seeing it in person inspires a whole new level of lust, however, with the busy front end less noticeable than the gorgeously sculted curves of the...

The LA Lakers' Andrew Bynum has been through a lot of physical therapy lately, in the hopes of getting his right knee ready for a return to the courts. He's been working with trainers, doing the medicine ball thing, and docs say he could be practicing with the team in a week or so. But you know how...

Rolls-Royce has used this week’s 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show to announce the launch of a new collaboration with California-based designer Bijan Pakzad (generally known simply as Bijan). The announcement was made last night at a special event at Bijan’s Rodeo Drive Boutique complete with...

Burbling turbo V-8 power, a sleek four-door coupe profile, and now, AMG badges. That's what's on deck this week for the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show in the form of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, which is making its world debut. The 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 promises 518 horsepower and 516...

It's been just two years since the Acura TSX received a complete redesign, but that's not stopping Acura from giving it a pretty substantial refresh for 2011. In addition to all the expected mid-cycle improvements—which we'll get to—here's the big news: improved fuel economy (ratings...

Crossovers are the new wagons, according to popular wisdom, but at Volvo the heritage is clearly visible. Its wagon-like crossovers in the XC line have met with great success in the U.S., together with the various wagon lines accounting for about half of the company's sales in recent years. One of...

BMW has launched the first-ever user-generated iAd to promote the arrival of the all-new 2011 BMW X3. For anyone not in tune with the latest tech, iAd is Apple's new mobile advertising network and has the potential to reach millions of iPhone and iPod touch users. The focus of the iAd is BMW's...

The 2011 Infiniti M has already won a slew of awards, from best premium-priced interior (Ward's Auto) to Top Safety Pick (IIHS). So even if it weren't a massively updated, improved, and refined version of Infiniti's already impressive M sedan, the 2011 Infiniti M56 would deserve our attention for...

A Korean full-size luxury sedan? That's what most people ask themselves when they first hear of the 2011 Hyundai Equus. Then they start thinking about Hyundai, and its start in the U.S. But anyone familiar with the last several years of Hyundai proucts knows the carmaker has made unprecedented...

BMW’s ‘Individual’ program was established back in 1991 for designing and creating customized versions the automaker’s cars for customers who were looking for made-to-measure solutions. The cars are ideal for those customers who seek the highest levels of luxury and look to...

I'm a car nerd. I’ll confess, I love digging through stats for nuggets about performance. And I lean hard toward thinking a lot can be made of power-to-weight ratios. I’m always in favor of lighter cars, because low weight allows so many other efficiencies: a smaller engine, which leads...

Fisker has announced today that its Karma plug-in hybrid luxury sedan will be on display at next week’s 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show and in doing so has made a not so subtle jab at GM by describing its car as the “first and only true electric vehicle with extended range”. You may...

Call it psychological scarring from junior high if you will, but you say Metamorphosis and I think of Franz Kafka and man-sized cockroaches. That's probably not what Lotus was going after when it hired French artist Gerard Rancinan to film its new lineup unveiled at the 2010 Paris auto show, but...

Summertime promotions to boost sales are nothing new--cheap or free gas, extended warranties, and in Lincoln's case this summer, a Complimentary Maintenance Program on 2011 model-year vehicles. But rarely do those promotions become permanent features. Lincoln has bucked tradition, making the free...

Right now we pretty much know everything we need to about the new 2011 Bentley Continental GT. We’ve seen the spy shots, got all the details in the official preview piece, seen the live shots direct from its 2010 Paris Auto Show debut, and even enjoyed a quick video. Oh, did we mention that...

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is a favorite among musicians and sports stars all over the globe but one very special edition stands out among the rest, a brand new 2009 model decked in blood red and customized to the hilt. Like a young Jay Leno, T-Pain is an avid car enthusiast and has...

Bentley. The name alone conjures, alternately, images of elegant serenity and brashly overt consumption. But the 2011 Mulsanne, for all its in-your-face luxury, is every inch the elegant, refined, and elementally Bentley sedan. In fact, it's the most "Bentley" Bentley since 1928. Why is that?...

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...

Lincoln will be taking a new approach to the types of vehicles it produces in the future, with plans to downsize its lineup in the wake of flailing sales of the once-popular Navigator SUV and other large cars. While there were reports of Lincoln producing a new crossover based on the...
