    Audi’s Q3 has been around since 2011 but only reaches U.S. showrooms this fall, priced from just above $33k. Curiously, an updated version of the compact crossover is due next year and prototypes have been spotted by one of our photographers. As the spy shots reveal, the changes to the Q3 will be minor. The updated vehicle sports new bumpers at both ends. The lights have also been revised, with the front pair characterized by new patterns for the daytime running lights. A prototype for an updated version of the high-performance RS Q3 has also been spotted, and sports similar updates to...

  • 2016 Ford Mustang GT350 (SVT) spy shots

    The 2015 Ford Mustang made its hotly anticipated debut at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, but since then has largely stayed off the radar as it awaits its start of production and rubber-burning arrival on America's streets. In addition to the base and GT models, there will be a new Mustang EcoBoost powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. But the Mustang EcoBoost isn't the only new addition—there will be higher-performance versions wearing special badges, too.

  • 2016 Cadillac ATS-V spy shots

The car is the all-new ATS-V, which will join the upcoming ATS-V Coupe and CTS-V in the American luxury brand’s high-performance lineup. We’re expecting both this ATS-V sedan and the ATS-V Coupe to be launched on the market next year, as 2016 models. The two cars will be almost identical, though obviously the ATS-V Coupe will feature two doors. The ATS-V Coupe will also be slightly wider, as the regular ATS Coupe is already 0.8 of an inch wider than the regular ATS...

  • 2015 Chrysler 300 facelift spy shots

    These are the first spy shots of a facelifted version of the Chrysler 300 due out later this year, as a 2015 model. Being a mid-cycle update (the current 300 was all-new for 2011), the updates to the car aren’t extensive though they should help the big and boxy sedan fit in with a raft of incoming Chrysler models featuring the brand’s sleek new look that debuted on the 2015 200. As the spy shots confirm, the 2015 300 will be receiving new bumpers and rectangular-shaped exhaust tips similar to those fitted to the 200. The headlights also appear to feature a revised design, and...
