  • Infiniti Q Inspiration, 2018 Detroit auto show

    If you were excited about the reveal of Infiniti's Q Inspiration concept at the 2018 North American International Auto Show, and all that it potentially heralded for the brand, be prepared for disappointment. As we learned Monday at the reveal, the Q Inspiration doesn't bring much to the table other than a new design language, and talk about alternative forms made possible by “advanced powertrains” is all forlorn as there's only a 4-cylinder under the hood. No, the Q Inspiration isn't an electric car. It isn't even a hybrid. It's powered by Infiniti's VC-Turbo engine which we've...

  • Honda Insight Prototype, 2018 Detroit auto show
    2019 Honda Insight to deliver 50 mpg or better

    Honda used this week's 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit to present its 2019 Insight. Though officially a prototype, the version we were treated with shows the final design direction Honda is taking with its new Insight. Crucially, it shows that the revived hybrid nameplate is...

  • Subaru Viziv Performance STI concept

    Subaru on Friday took the covers off a concept that may just preview the next-generation WRX STI.

    Fisker EMotion to have 775 HP, 140-KWH battery, cost up to $190,000

    The Fisker EMotion made a bit of a splash at the Consumer Electronics show this week, as a sleek electric car with the look of a supercar. We were on hand at the show and learned some more interesting tidbits about the car in an interview with company chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker. We knew the...

  • Teaser for 2019 Kia Forte debuting at 2018 North American International Auto Show
    2019 Kia Forte to debut in Detroit

    The Kia Forte is a pleasantly styled and attractively priced alternative to the likes of the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla in the compact segment, though there's nothing really compelling about it. A redesigned model debuting next week in Detroit at the 2018 North American International Auto Show...

  • 2018 BMW M5 refueling during longest continuous vehicle drift attempt

    BMW driving instructor Johan Schwartz has set the world record for the longest continuous drift using a 2018 BMW M5. Schwartz’s sustained drift measured an impressive 232.5 miles, or 143 miles more than the previous record set in 2014. The latest attempt took place on a wet surface at BMW’s performance center in Greer, South Carolina and lasted a gruelling 8 hours. The folks at Guinness World Records were also on hand to verify the record. But that wasn’t the only record to be broken on the day. Schwartz together with fellow BMW driving instructor Matt Mullins also claimed...

  • 2018 BMW 5-Series
    Power to the people: Diesel BMW 5-Series headed to the States, on sale next month

    We'll stop short of saying diesel has been resurrected, but reports of the oil-burner's demise may have been premature. This month, the EPA certified for sale the 2018 BMW 540d xDrive and rated the diesel-powered sedan at 26 mpg city, 36 highway, 30 combined. It will go on sale in the U.S. in...

  • 2017 Tesla Model 3, 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show
    Tesla Model 3 hits 60 MPH in 4.66 seconds, passes quarter mile in 13.3

    We know from the Model S that Tesla underquotes the performance of its cars. Heck, we’ve seen a Model S P100D with Ludicrous Plus mode hit 60 mph in a mindboggling 2.389 seconds. So with Tesla stating at the Model 3’s launch last summer that the small electric sedan will do 0-60 mph in...

  • Fisker EMotion

  • HSV’s final Holden Commodore-based model is a 2017 GTSR W1

    Australia’s semi-official tuner to Holden, HSV, has made a name for itself over the past three decades by churning out meaty muscle cars based on successive generations of rear-wheel-drive, V-8-powered Holden Commodores. All of that has come to an end, however, as HSV on Wednesday announced the construction of its final Commodore-based model. The car appropriately is a 2017 GTSR W1, a 635-horsepower super sedan powered by the same LS9 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 fitted to the C6 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The GTSR W1 was unveiled last year as the swan song for HSV’s run of...

  • 1991 Mitsubishi Galant tuned by AMG
    When worlds collide: AMG once tuned the Mitsubishi Galant

    AMG is well-known as the in-house tuner for Mercedes-Benz. However, it wasn't always that way. Until 1999 AMG used to do its tuning work for any automaker willing to pay. We bet you didn't know that once upon a time the Japanese automaker Mitsubishi was willing to pay for some German tuning. Thus...

  • Tucker 48 heading to RM Sotheby's auction
    Preston Tucker's personal 1948 Tucker expected to command more than $1M at January auction

    The Tucker Corporation was merely a flash in the late 1940s pan, but it remains an incredibly intriguing story in American automobile history. The company's turmoil, conspiracy, and demise is a story that was documented, with some creative license, in the 1988 motion picture "Tucker: The Man and...

    2019 VW Arteon to make US debut at 2018 Chicago auto show

    Volkswagen’s Arteon will go on sale next year as the replacement for the CC. It arrives as a 2019 model and has little in the way of direct competition, apart from the Buick Regal Sportback. Some buyers may also want to check out the Audi A5 Sportback or perhaps even the Kia Stinger. The...

    8 things you need to know about the 2018 Cadillac CTS-V

    Rip out the heart of a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, shove it into a four-door luxury sedan, and what do you get? The 2018 Cadillac CTS-V.

    2019 Volkswagen Jetta teased ahead of Detroit debut

    Volkswagen has given a hint at the final design of its new Jetta debuting next month at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

  • 2019 Volkswagen Jetta prototype

    Matthias Erb, the engineer tasked with turning VW’s North American operations from car importer to full-on development office, isn't able to relax for long. Last year, VW finally got competitive in the American crossover market with its redesigned Tiguan and new Atlas. This year, it’s a bigger challenge: reinvigorating a dated compact four-door in a stale segment. Next month at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Erb will take the wraps off of a long-overdue replacement: the 2019 VW Jetta. Its nameplate dates back to 1980, when VW realized that American...

    Confirmed: 2019 Toyota Avalon–and its headlight–at upcoming Detroit auto show

    Toyota shined some light Friday on what it will show at the 2018 Detroit auto show in January. But not much light: it's the new 2019 Avalon. While everyone was hoping (Eds note: dreaming?) would be the new Supra, those dreams evaporated into thin air Wednesday when news broke that the Supra simply...

  • Kia opening Stinger Salons
    Experience the Kia Stinger in an interactive shopping salon

    Kia wants the world to know all about its new Stinger sedan. It's a vehicle that could help Kia reach more folks and have them far more interested in what the Korean automaker has to offer.
