  • Chevrolet Tru 140S Concept

    While Chevy’s latest concepts, the Code 130R and the Tru 140S (shown here) aren’t the first cars marketed to Millenials, they may well be the first that solicited feedback from under-30 customers throughout the design process. As John McFarland, Chevy’s senior manager for Global Marketing, puts it, “At Chevrolet, we want to build authentic and meaningful relationships with these customers on their terms. We want to hear what they have to say, engage them in our design process, and give them what they want - not what we think they want.” The Tru 140S is billed by...

  • 2011 Audi A8

    Audi has announced at this week’s 2012 Detroit Auto Show that it is expanding its A8 family with two new fuel-efficient powertrain options in the 2013 model year, one of which is a diesel. We can confirm that Audi’s flagship sedan will offer a 3.0-liter V-6 ‘TDI’ turbodiesel option later this year, though no specs have been announced as yet.

    Porsche's new 911 is a great sports car, though to some it may be less 911 than ever.

    The 2012 Detroit Auto Show is in full swing, sometimes literally, with musical acts gracing stages and the occasional appearance by, say, Jon Lovitz for the Smart For Us pickup concept. But despite the hoopla, the cars are still the real stars. The two that just crossed Mercedes-Benz's stage are of the green sort, though they're painted brown. Both of the new hybrid E-Class sedans combine a 27-horsepower, 184 pound-feet of torque electric motor with a combustion engine to deliver what Mercedes-Benz claims is the most efficient full-size sedan in the world--at least in the case of the...
