Continuing our string of video walkarounds from the 2011 New York Auto Show, we have the 2011 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. Call it funky, call it fun--either way, it's unique on the market right now, and offers a lot more than you might expect. The interior, for instance is very upscale, more in...

Today seems to be a good day for the sounds of engines. What we have below is a video from FT86Club that purports to contain the sound of the engine that will power the FT-86/FR-S/Subieyota coupe when it finally reaches production. The 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter direct-injection boxer four-cylinder...

But even so, there's a whole generation of technology and integration yet to occur before we see mainstream EVs and the passenger experiences we've imagined. The Luxgen Neora gives us a...

EVO writer Chris Harris was recently given the chance to fling a F10 BMW M5 around icy and snowy roads in Sweden, and he captured the antics on video. The car he drove isn't a finished production version, but Harris has words of praise for the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 that makes around 560...

When the 2012 Toyota Prius V arrives sometime, we hope, this year--it's been delayed by the aftermath of the Sendai tsunami--it will be one of the first Toyota vehicles to showcase Entune, the automaker's new telematics service. With Entune, which was unveiled earlier this year at the 2011 CES...

There's no need for an excuse to watch gratuitous Aventador footage, and this video carries just over four minutes of it. From the sound of some pretty heavy-footed revs to the sight of the cars cruising the streets, there's something here for any Lambo fan. Unfortunately, we have yet to see one at...

The funky little hatchback we've come to like seeing at autoshows will finally be making its way onto the street and the showroom floor this week, following a brief delay due to labor disputes at a South Korean plant where it is built.

Fast factory versions of frumpy family sedans are nothing new--they've been around almost as long as the industry has--but few really capture the mind of the auto enthusiast like the Ford Taurus SHO (Super High Output) did during the 1990s. Perhaps because it was one of the few American takes on...
