Today new stats on Jaguar's upcoming 2.2-liter diesel for the XF sedan have emerged. We've already seen the core details of the new engine--in late March, Jaguar released an official teaser of the oil-burner inside a thinly disguised "development mule." At the time we figured it was unlikely the engine would come to the U.S., and we still doubt it will--but a New York Auto Show unveiling at least raises the spectre of consideration for our market. At a whopping 52.2 mpg rating, according to Ward's Auto, the proposition would certainly be attractive to people looking for an efficient, yet...

High Gear Media's own Joel Feder is on the ground in Phoenix at a Kia event today, and he tells us that Kia has confirmed the new Rio sedan will be on display at the 2011 New York Auto Show. We don't know the details on what to expect here in the U.S.--that's being saved for the show--but we can work with the figures of the Rio hatchback for some rough approximations. Sporting some seriously solid lines and angles, the hatch is an attractive little box that says anything but economy with its looks. The impressions stand up in real life, as our shots from the Geneva Motor Show confirm. In U.S...

Just a few weeks ago we saw the entire list of nominees for the World Car of the Year awards, as well as the separate Performance, Green and Design categories, which are held annually at the New York Auto Show. In total, there were more than 40 contenders originally but this list has since been whittled down to just 10 finalists for the respective World and Performance Car of the Year titles and just 6 finalists for the Green title. Though we may not agree with all the finalists, for the most part the remaining cars seem reasonable and are worthy of their placement. We’re a little...
