The current-generation Acura TL's styling has been controversial since its debut a few years ago. In this case, "controversial" is a euphemism for "ugly." It's unfortunate, because the TL is actually a pretty good car, especially TLs with a six-speed manual. Well, the near-universal derision has...

Details on the next generation of the Volvo C30 remain slim at best, with a report from late last year hinting at a more practical five-door model, aimed at competition with Volkswagen's Golf, BMW 1-Series, and Lexus CT-200h.

Re-sculpted for the new model year and sporting the new 465-horsepower 6.4-liter HEMI common to the SRT8 line, the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 is an imposing piece of American machinery--particularly in SRT8 trim. The gaping maw of a grille, aggressive body kit, and massive wheels work together, but...

The full details on the 2011 Dodge Durango R/T are already out, but these live shots confirm it looks as good in person as it does in the official photos. Is it possible that Dodge has built the best-looking performance SUV? It certainly outstrips the BMW X5/X6 and Porsche Cayenne on our...

The Man Van is even manlier today with the unveiling of the Dodge Grand Caravan R/T. Dodge says it delivers the performance-sedan handling with minivan utility. Rated at 283 horsepower from its 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, it certainly has the grunt it needs to get the job done. A...

While the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 has gotten most of the attention lately, that doesn't mean that the R/T trim has been forgotten. Slotted as the mid-level trim between the V-6 powered SE and the top-line SRT8 392, the R/T doesn't change much from 2010, but there are subtle differences. The...

We've already brought you key details and live photos of the 2012 Acura TL fresh from Chicago, but now we have the full details. A mild mid-cycle refresh, the 2012 TL adds value to the existing car without significantly changing the package. Acura pitches it as "refined, yet aggressive," and we...

Yes, we're talking about the new top-dog 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, which was unveiled today at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. After months of rumors that the Z28 name would be resurrected, we now know...

Rear-wheel drive, two-seats, 0-62 mph in under 5 seconds, it hits...
