New York Auto Show

We first heard about the possibility of a new model from Infiniti dubbed the JX last August when it was revealed the premium Nissan division had trademarked the JX name. Now, on the eve of the 2011 New York Auto Show, Infiniti has released a new teaser of an upcoming luxury crossover that will be...

Volvo’s new owner Geely is keen to reposition the Swedish automaker as a ‘Tier 1’ luxury brand able to compete with the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz, though such a task is much easier said than done. Acura is one such company that’s often stated reaching Tier 1 status as...

Making its debut today at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show is the all-new Subaru XV concept, a compact crossover based on the same underpinnings as the upcoming 2012 Subaru Impreza.

The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, the first global version of the popular mid-size Chevy, has finally been revealed, first at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show and just a day later at the 2011 New York Auto Show. That’s right, the new Malibu will be a truly global model, sold in nearly 100 countries in...

When it comes to a Rolls-Royce, the seat of choice is not the one behind the steering wheel but rather the one behind that. Rolls-Royces are designed to be driven in, not driven, so of course you would want the maximum amount of legroom for yourself and other passengers. Not surprisingly then, even...

The world was supposed to wait another day and a half for the unveiling of the 2011 Chrysler 200 S Sedan and Convertible, but the secret was apparently too hot to hang on to: Chrysler has released the information on the cars early, along with a small selection of photos. You may recall a concept...

The Volkswagen New Beetle has had a good life - launched in 1998, it's carried on for the past thirteen years virtually unchanged. Okay, so that's not quite as impressive as the original, known variously as the Volkswagen, Type 1, Beetle, Bug, Käfer and many more names throughout the world...

European luxury and sports car makers are no strangers to four-cylinders--they just rarely bring them to the U.S. BMW changes that this year, however, with the introduction of the four-cylinder Z4 sDrive28i. Sporting 2.0-liters of displacement and a twin-scroll turbocharger, it packs 240 horsepower...

The official launches have started pouring out, along with more announcements of what to expect are rolling in, which can only mean one thing: The 2011 New York Auto Show is about to get underway. Timed against the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show this year, some of the best concepts and production cars...

It's official: we're into the hot and heavy part of the New York Auto Show pregame. The latest entrant: Infiniti's IPL G Convertible concept. Joining the IPL G Coupe revealed last year at Pebble Beach, the Convertible adds the fun and flair of top-down cruising to the Infiniti Performance Line...

After seeing the Dodge Avenger rally car prototype hit the gravel hard, we were left wishing it would one day see competition. Unfortunately, that model was just an exercise. The 2012 Avenger R/T, however, is very real, and will be on display in New York this week. Offering an upgraded, stiffer...

Just two days before the 2011 New York Auto Show opens to the press, Audi has launched an eye-popping marketing campaign for its sleek, sophisticated 2012 A7. Today, the five-door coupe will roll straight into Times Square -- not literally, since cars are forbidden in the pedestrian center of town...

Since its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show back in March, Mazda has been hinting at production of its attractive Minagi compact crossover concept.

Nissan is combining two very different elements from the automotive world for its latest concept, which is set to debut this week at the 2011 New York Auto Show. Described as ‘Purpose-Built Prototype’, the all-new Nissan Leaf Nismo RC essentially wraps the zero-emissions drivetrain and...

While it isn’t the high-performance M6 we’re all waiting for, the latest M Sports Package for the recently revealed 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe does give the dynamic luxury two-door an even sportier look thanks to some distinct M styling cues. Though we’ve only seen spy shots of...

So, yeah, the 2012 Chevy Sonic isn't exactly a tuner's main course. More like an hors d'ouevre. The Z-Spec accessories previewed here and on display at the 2011 New York Auto Show hope to change that. Odds are they won't, however, with the first two things touted in the announcement being "Color...

The wraps have just come off the 2012 Fiat 500 Cabrio, and it's exactly what we expected: an American version of the 500 Cabrio we've seen strolling around Europe for quite a while. Of course, it gets the upgrades all American 500s see, but the main draw is the slide-back canvas roof that mimics...

The 2011 New York Auto Show will feature many concepts, but one of them will be a Scion--and it looks like it'll be based on the Toyota FT-86 concept, potentially bearing the FR-S name we reported on last October. There's no doubt the car in the video shares the same proportions and lines as the...

We just got the first official details and images of the Lexus LF-Gh concept this morning, and now we have video of the car in action for you.
