  • 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

    By the time you've settled into lap three around Laguna Seca, the Boss is shouting at you and you don't even care. This isn't your office, so revel in it. This Boss hammers your tympani with a proprietary blend of pleasure and pain--sound familiar?--but none of the kvetching over expense reports or missed deadlines. It's watching you like a hawk, for sure, lipstick video cameras stalking you with paparazzi precision, but they're only there to document all those sweet apexes you're kissing while you work. But make no mistake: this Boss is in the driver's seat, too. Not you. The 2012 Mustang...

  • 2012 Saab 9-5 SportCombi
    2012 Saab 9-5 SportCombi Preview: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    Wagon fans, rejoice: all is not lost, at least not at Saab. Even as other carmakers kill off or write off their wagon models for the U.S., the 9-5 SportCombi is making new waves. It will be on display at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Based on the same gear, available in the same trim levels, and...

  • 2012 Saab 9-3 Convertible Independence Edition
    Limited Edition 2012 Saab 9-3 Independence Convertible Preview

  • 2012 Infiniti M35h
    2012 Infiniti M Hybrid Priced From $53,700

Infiniti bills the M Hybrid as the only car in America to offer 350 horsepower in combination with a...

  • 2012 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet
    2012 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet Preview: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    With a pair of rather shapely Giugiaro-designed concepts on deck, Volkswagen was already headed for an appealing Geneva show stand. Now, it's going to be even better, as the new Golf Cabriolet shows the world how to make a drop-top small car that doesn't look like it was beaten by the neighborhood...

  • Jaguar XKR-S

    Billed as the "most potent series production" Jaguar ever, the XKR-S is staged for a debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The XKR-S leverages a 542-horsepower supercharged V-8 engine to rocket to a top speed of 186 mph, hitting 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and 100 mph in 8.6 seconds along the way. If those numbers sound a bit less than massively impressive in an era of 250+ mph supercars and sub-3-second 0-60 mph times, that's fair enough, but those cars aren't Jaguars. At least, that's what Jaguar has to be hoping you'll think, as the XKR-S, like the just-revealed Aston Martin Virage, seeks to meld...

  • Aston Martin Virage
    Aston Martin Virage Preview: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    Almost out of nowhere, the Geneva Motor Show just got a whole lot more interesting: Aston Martin will be showing its latest supertourer, the Virage. Sitting between the DBS and DB9, the Virage will be available in both coupe and Volante convertible models. Powered by Aston's familiar 6.0-liter V-12...

  • MINI Rocketman Concept
    MINI Rocketman Concept debuts at 2011 Geneva auto show

    Leaks, teasers, previews...the Geneva Motor Show is gearing up to a fever pitch this year, and MINI wants to be part of the action. Its entrant to the concept category? The MINI Rocketman Concept. Positioned as a curious "3+1" seater with three doors and a scant 10-foot overall length, the...

  • 2011 Buick Regal flex-fuel badge
    2011 Buick Regal Turbo Gets Flex-Fuel Capability

    The best non-news of the day comes from Buick: the 2011 Buick Regal Turbo is flex-fuel capable, meaning it can run on either E85 or gasoline. We're not terribly excited (E85 still isn't all that common in most places), but we are looking forward to the first pure ethanol tune. The E85 capability...

  • 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Official: Jeep Grand Cherokee To Get New Diesel At Geneva Motor Show

    The Jeep Grand Cherokee is no stranger to diesel power, though the last we saw it here in the U.S. was in 2008. Unlike the previous Daimler-sourced unit, the next diesel in the Jeep Grand Cherokee will be built by VM Motori. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll be getting it here in the U.S...

  • 2012 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport

    Destined to be one of the stunners of next week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the new 2012 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport has been revealed in full today and without doubt has left us drooling. The new Maserati will offer more driving enjoyment thanks to improved vehicle dynamics, more horsepower, a more responsive and efficient engine and optimized gearshift response--all things we like. Built in the same vein as models such as the GranTurismo S and Quattroporte Sport GT S, the new GranTurismo Convertible Sport is essentially a more hardcore version of the regular GranTurismo...

    2011 Geneva Motor Show: Three World Premieres For Toyota

    We already know that Toyota will be unveiling an updated version of its FT-86 rear-wheel drive sports car concept at next month’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the aptly named FT-86 II, which we saw a teaser of last month, but now the Japanese auto giant has confirmed several other world premieres...

  • 2012 Honda Civic
    2012 Honda Civic Preview

    Fresh from its "preview" in "concept" form at the Detroit Auto Show, the 2012 Honda Civic is here, and it looks pretty good. It also offers the all-important 40 mpg in two trims--HF and Hybrid. The entire 2012 Civic lineup is more efficient, but it's the HF and Hybrid that headline: the...

  • Army's NASCAR sponsorship
    Democrats Tell Army: No More NASCAR

    If you weren't aware (unlikely): the Army sponsors a NASCAR team. The purpose? Recruitment. Getting the Army brand out there, and catching the eyes of the young to hopefully influence their career paths by engaging in a sport they enjoy watching. But Democrats don't like it. At all. "It’s...

  • 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid

    Earlier today Porsche took the sheet off its 2012 Panamera S Hybrid, revealing a 333-horsepower, supercharged V-6 powerplant supplemented by a 47-horsepower electric motor in the familiar long-back sedan shape. Now we have its starting price: $95,000. That's a steep point of entry, but considering the standard 400-horsepower V-8 Panamera S starts at $89,800, it's not a big relative jump. But how does it compare to the competition? Mercedes-Benz's S400 Hybrid, the "base" S-Class in the U.S., starts at $91,000, $4,000 less than the hybrid Panamera. It offers similar space and quality, but less...

    2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    Two-doors are in vogue again, it seems, with every almost every major luxury manufacturer showing off a new coupe in recent months. Mercedes-Benz joins the rolls today with the 2012 C-Class Coupe ahead of its Geneva Motor Show debut. Replacing the last-gen CLC Coupe, the new C-Class Coupe rides on...
