  • Jeep's FC concept

    Last week we brought you teaser images of three concepts that Jeep would be bringing to this year’s Moab Easter Jeep Safari. This week, Jeep and Mopar have teamed up to reveal an additional three concepts, as well as details on the concepts shown last week. The winner from last week, in our opinion anyway, was Jeep’s Mighty FC Concept. Named for the Jeep “Forward Control” models built from 1956 to 1965, this cabover concept keeps overall length down (for off-road maneuverability) while retaining a full-length cargo area with a drop-side bed. The Mighty FC Concept is...

  • 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport

    The idea of a super-sporty Lexus GS F, built after the model of the IS F but on the new 2013 Lexus GS platform, is nothing new--rumors have circulated for at least half a year now.

Speaking with Autocar, product planning head Karl Schlicht said he'd "love to see" a GS F built to rival the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Unfortunately, the necessary sign-off hasn't been given yet by Toyota's management, according to the report...
