The face of the Jaguar XF just got even more attractive with the unveiling of the 2012 model, in XFR trim, at the 2011 New York Auto Show. Doing away with the bulbous look of the previous XF's lights, and cleaning up some of the lines elsewhere, the new XF is very bit as iconic and now, cleaner and more elegant. Photos hardly do the car justice, as even among the attractive Jaguar lineup the XF stands out as unique and stylish. We expect the experience behind the wheel to similarly iron out the lumps and refine the best of the handling and acceleration--both of which are prodigal in the...

2013 Ford Taurus SHO: 2011 New York Auto Show Live PhotosFast 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...

While stock Chrysler 300 sedans ride with V-6 or HEMI power, and the new 2012 SRT8 storms along with 465 hp, there's only one new Chrysler powered by rap. At the 2011 New York auto show, Chrysler's peeling back the covers from its new 300S, which strips off the chrome and wood and layers in some beats provided by Dr. Dre. Essentially, this version of the 300 is the same as a matte-painted concept car shown to the High Gear Media hive mind back in November, during Chrysler's first-drive program. The S versions are a new aesthetic for Chrysler, dropping the more ornate trim and more traditional...

Suzuki Kizashi Apex Concept: 2011 New York Auto ShowIt was exactly a year ago that Suzuki introduced the new ‘Sport’ variant of its very capable Kizashi mid-size sedan.

Turbo Suzuki Kizashi Apex Concept: 2011 New York Auto ShowOver several decades, Suzuki has established quite a reputation for itself in the U.S. as a maker of high-quality, high-performance motorcycles and ATVs. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for its cars; while quality and performance claims hold, from our experience, Suzuki's sparse and...

Ford’s reintroduced for 2010 Taurus SHO was already a very capable sedan, coming with 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque and a 0-60 mph time of around 6.0 seconds. In fact, the EcoBoosted V-6 SHO was even able to hold its own against a V-8 powered Audi A6, as you’ll see by clicking here, so the latest 2013 model making its debut this week at the 2011 New York Auto Show must be really something special. It gets improved dynamics, bigger brakes and a more refined look that draws some influences from the Mustang. The Taurus SHO has always been a ‘sleeper’ and for...

When it comes to a Rolls-Royce, the seat of choice is not the one behind the steering wheel but rather the one behind that. Rolls-Royces are designed to be driven in, not driven, so of course you would want the maximum amount of legroom for yourself and other passengers. Not surprisingly then, even a car as big as the new Rolls-Royce Ghost, which already stretches 17.7 feet in length, is too ‘small’ for some. That’s why the automaker has unveiled the new Ghost Extended Wheelbase model today at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show. The Ghost’s already ample interior space is...
