  • 2012 Buick Verano teaser

    Despite vowing to end the practice of badge engineering following its bankruptcy process and streamlining of brands, GM is on the verge of launching a new compact sedan under its Buick label that will essentially be a reskinned Chevrolet Cruze. The car is the upcoming 2012 Buick Verano, a teaser of which was released last week along with the announcement that production will be taking place at GM’s Orion assembly plant in Michigan. Speaking at a recent press event, GM’s North American chief, Mark Reuss, explained that the Verano won’t be mistaken for a Chevrolet Cruze due to...

    2011 Chrysler 200 Partially Revealed In New Teasers

    Few who've driven the Chrysler Sebring have much in the way of kind words to say about it. A coarse engine, an interior that wouldn't pass muster at Fisher-Price and dated exterior design combine to make a car that's destined for a myriad of "worst of" lists. And Chrysler realizes that, in a big...

    2011 Dodge Charger Website Live

    The 2011 Dodge Charger microsite just went live a few minutes ago. In addition to the photos of the car above, the website offers a chance to sign up for email updates and to share the page on Facebook and Twitter. Beyond that, the site doesn't look to be doing much. The 2011 Charger R/T in the...

    Fisker Considering Issuing IPO To Fund Six Car Lineup

    Production of the Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid luxury sedan has just kicked off at the Valmet plant in Finland, with the first car off the line being shown recently at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, but there’s already talk about several other models in the pipeline and possibly an IPO issue...

    GM teases new 2012 Buick Verano compact sedan

    We've already seen a preview of the upcoming Cruze-based compact Buick sedan in the form of the Chinese-market Excelle GT, but today we finally have confirmation of the U.S. market car’s name and the location where it will be built. The new compact sedan is the 2012 Buick Verano, depicted...

    Australia's FPV Launches Supercharged 5.0 GT Range

    Australia’s Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) today launched its range of supercharged Falcon sedans, with the cars coming fitted with the Blue Oval’s new 5.0-liter V-8 and a custom Eaton supercharger. The engine isn’t identical to the one fitted to the Ford Mustang GT in the U.S...

  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS first crash

    The covers were just pulled off the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS at its world debut last week at the 2010 Paris Auto Show but already we have photos of the first crashed example. The crash took place at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany where engineers are running the car through its final phases of development. The damage seen here looks minimal and since the car is a development mule it’s likely destined to be crushed once engineers have finished with it. In an embarrassing couple of weeks for Mercedes-Benz we also just saw the new SLS AMG GT3 race car crash during its competition...

    2011 Dodge Charger: First Official Photos

    Dodge has just released these first photos of the 2011 Charger sedan. In a full release, Dodge says the 2011 Dodge Charger "will rev up showrooms during the fourth quarter of 2010." Earlier this year, Chrysler began trickling out some images of its revamped 2011 lineup, including the 2011 Jeep...

    2011 Audi A8 Priced From $78,050

    Audi has announced prices for its new 2011 A8 flagship luxury sedan, which has just hit showrooms and will be followed by the long-wheelbase A8 L variant next month.

    Spy Shots: 2012 Lexus GS Test-Mule

    The current Lexus GS luxury sedan has been on the market since the 2006 model year so it’s not surprising the first development test-mules for the next-generation model, due late next year, have been spotted. And the new car can’t come soon enough given the recent launch of the new...

  • 1966 Lincoln Continental
    No New Continental in Lincoln's Future

    Ford [NYSE:F] is damping speculation that it's developing a new flagship sedan in the mold of the former Lincoln Continental. The Continental was one of the signature vehicles in the Lincoln lineup from the 1930s through the 1970s--the mini-brand was sold under its own nameplate, before it became...

  • 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T
    274-HP 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T Priced From $24,145

    Hyundai almost certainly isn't the first name you think of when you think performance or luxury, but the brand is working hard to change that, most notably with the introduction of the Equus sedan for the U.S. Even its lower-range models are pushing the brand-perception envelope--the new Sonata is...

  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class

    Before its world premiere this week at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, the world knew the details on the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class sedan. Now, the demimonde of auto journalists and Parisians know how well the CLS translates into reality, as it's on display on the auto show floor. In adopting some of the more masculine lines and angles of the E-Class, the CLS has lost some of the visual softness that made the original so appealing--particularly on the front end, with its big LED headlights trapezoidal intersections, and inside, where the matte burled walnut is no longer the dominant finish...

    2010 Paris Auto Show: 2011 Audi A7 Live Photos

    Though it's been previewed earlier in the year, the 2011 Audi A7 made its formal debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show with the trendy slope-back style pioneered by Mercedes-Benz, and adapted heartily by Porsche. On the A7, the hatchback, four-door-coupe stance works much better than on the Porsche...

    2010 Paris Auto Show: 2011 Volkswagen Passat (Euro) Live Photos

    The new Euro-spec 2011 Volkswagen Passat, shown for the first time at the Paris show, has a shape that North American shoppers will never likely see. Nevertheless we look at it with interest, as it might preface some of the design details of our Passat replacement that's on the way. The Passat has...

    Spy Shots: 2012 Jaguar XFR Facelift

    The Jaguar XFR isn't yet long in the tooth, having just hit the market in 2009. But already Jagaur is working on a facelift for the fastest Leaping Cat ever, to bring it closer in line with the new Jaguar XJ. A new grille, front bumper, headlights, and some work at the rear of the XFR are all that...

    2011 Infiniti G25 On Sale Now, Starts From $30,950

    If you've been hankering for an Infiniti G sedan but couldn't justify the brawny 328-horsepower 3.7-liter V-6, you've got a new option: the 2011 G25. On sale today, from a starting price of $30,950, the new 2.5-liter V-6 delivers lower cost of entry, better fuel economy, and, yes, a bit slower...

    Driven: 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan

    On the surface, the 2011 Subaru WRX doesn't sound all that exciting. Sure, it's got a turbo 2.5-liter Boxer four, but only 265 horsepower? The Honda Accord makes more than that. Yeah, it has all-wheel drive, but so does the Lincoln MKS. It wears the widebody treatment of the WRX STI, but it's about...

  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class

    Three weeks ago Mercedes-Benz unveiled the 2012 CLS-Class ahead of its public debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, and today, we have a fresh new gallery of photos that show the car off in a much better light. Literally, the lighting is way better. Rather than the spotlight-in-a-cave shots loosed in August, we get images of the 2012 CLS cruising sunlit highways and parked in multi-million-dollar driveways. They not only show off the new curves and character lines in a more readily understood real-world setting, but also give us a better idea of the light and space in the cabin. With a more...

    2011 Hyundai Equus: Third Drive

    As you've seen across the High Gear Media empire of automotive Web sites, we've spent some quality time with the 2011 Hyundai Equus. In fact, we've driven it once in what was clearly "not a first drive" and then a few months ago in South Korea. Now, we've had a shot at the final production Equus...

    Humpback proportions aside, Porsche clearly did a lot of things right with the Panamera. No fewer than 22,518 buyers agreed during its first year on the global market. Think Porsche's not proud of that figure? Check out all the uses of "Gran Turismo" to describe the car in the press release on page...
