Joining the recently revealed 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan in showrooms later this year will be a brand new C-Class Coupe, which has been leaked once again ahead of its debut next month at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe exudes a certain exuberance and design...

Getting your hands on a Porsche Carrera GT is hard enough considering only around 1,200 cars were ever built and only half of these were sold in the U.S. So imagine how rare it would be to come across a celebrity-owned example of one of these rare beauties. Well, believe it or not, comedian and...

Bentley’s design team is offering a rare opportunity to take a glimpse inside the usually secret and closed world of their studios and follow the development of a Bentley vehicle from the first sketch right through to the moment it sweeps through the factory gates. ‘An Unbroken...

At last month’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show Chrysler’s Mopar aftermarket accessories division rolled out a collection of toughened up vehicles built for the street as well as one very special off-roader. That off-roader was the Ram Runner pickup, essentially a Ram 1500 pickup with reinforced...

A little more than three years ago, a Hyundai featured prominently on a site with "Luxury Car" in the title would have been, at best, a good April Fool's joke. Then the company went out and built the Genesis sedan, blowing our minds with its level of sophistication, and making us take a closer look...

The future is electric, and BMW knows it as well as anyone despite the fact that the only EVs put out by the company have thus far been limited-distribution, lease-only development cars. The ActiveE doesn't change that, but it's another step down the path to a full-production BMW EV. The ActiveE...

We aren't huge fans of the facelifted 2012 Acura TL's design, as it looks quite a lot like the last one, though there's a lot to redeem the car once you get past the face. Judging by your comments, you're not all that pleased with it either. Either way, you can watch the official video of its...

HISTORY has decided the first season of the U.S. version of Top Gear cut enough mustard to pick up a second. The first 10 episodes of the series pulled in a total of 60 million viewers. The notoriously cranky Jeremy Clarkson even gives the American show his seal of approval: “Top Gear is our...

Pictured here in these latest spy shots is a prototype for the facelifted 2012 Kia Soul, which is expected to hit the market this summer. Kia engineers have gone to great lengths to mask the changes to the car but from what we can gather there will be new head lamps and possibly a revised grille...

The Volkswagen Golf isn't exactly the first car that comes to mind when you dip into the VW Group's stable of cars looking for something to take racing, but it turns out it's not a bad choice at all, if these images and specs are any indication. Based on the Golf but packing 440 horsepower, a...

Last year we brought you some of the first word on rumors of the next Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Though it's running a full year behind where it was expected then, the latest rumors of the super-SUV are pointing toward a New York Auto Show debut and a fall 2011 on-sale date. Specs are as anyone...

James Bond fans know a lot about 007's cars. That's because they're often as integral to Bond films as the ubiquitous Bond Girls. Over time, Mr. Bond has been associated with a number of high-end rides. Readers of the Ian Fleming novels that brought 007 to life know that the world's most famous spy...

Whether it's simple legal necessity, hold-over angst from the 1960s duel between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari, or corporate jockeying between Ford and Ferrari's corporate parent, Fiat, which now owns a chunk of Chrysler, the fight over the F-150/F150 name may have come to a resolution: Ferrari...

Your average car key has a limited range of functions. Even when giving it an ostentatious name like Aston Martin's "Emotion Control Unit" and constructing it from glass, it's essentially there to allow you to enter your vehicle, and turn it on. BMW could be about to change that though. Using a...

If you thought the $375,000 asking price for the 2012 Lexus LFA was outrageous enough, you would certainly have been gobsmacked by the announcement of the LFA Nurburgring Package, which adds an extra $70,000 to the pricetag. We will finally get to see what all the fuss is about, with Lexus...

Soon, the U.S. will finally get a taste of the Volkswagen R goodness that the rest of the world has been enjoying for the past couple of years. Of course, we’re talking about the high-performance Volkswagen Golf R, which will be heading to local showrooms towards the end of the year. However...

There’s still no official confirmation of plans to introduce the latest generation Suzuki Swift to the U.S. market but there’s certainly a lot of publicity surrounding the stylish hatchback. The latest is news of a concept version being unveiled at next month’s 2011 Geneva Motor...

One of the biggest drawbacks of the BMW X6--once you’ve learned to live with its awkward styling and steeply reclined roof--is its limited four-seater capacity. Remember, this is a vehicle that nearly matches some seven-seaters in size yet BMW chose to go with a 2+2 seating configuration...

It's been 50 years since Shelby had an official presence at an auto show, and the company made good use of its appearance at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show by debuting the convertible version of its Shelby GT350 Mustang. This is the first convertible GT350 since 1970, and it will be part of a limited...
