Earning the nickname of Grand Cherokee’s little brother, for good reason, the new 2011 Jeep Compass comes with new styling and several new standard features to better position itself in the fuel-efficient crossover segment. While the previous model looked downright frumpy, the new 2011 Jeep...

Ford's F-150 SVT Raptor is the undisputed king of production off-road truck awesomeness, but we’re sure--if ever built--a production version of the 2011 GMC Sierra All Terrain HD pickup truck concept could sure give it a run for its money. In live form the truck looks every bit as menacing...

Lovers of Italian flair--on a budget--were treated with a handful of 2012 Fiat 500 minicars at this week’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show, which added a little spark to Chrysler’s stands and managed to draw in plenty of fans and curious onlookers. These latest live photos really show off the...

There's no doubt Kia and sister company Hyundai have managed to pull off two of the most extreme makeovers of their corporate images the industry has seen in the last decade. Cars like the Optima, Sorento, and Sportage put Kia firmly at the front of the class in design in their respective segments...

There's a good reason that Chrysler isn't thought of as a luxury brand. For decades, Chrysler's lineup consisted of little more than chromed-up Dodges, and when that wasn't the case, the cars weren't exactly luxury-grade. However, things are changing fast. The unwanted Aspen SUV is gone, along with...

If you haven't seen the 2011 Chrysler 300 by now, we hope you're recovering well from your coma. Plastered around the web and everywhere else Chrysler could get it, the new 300 takes the sinister look of the original and brings it up to date without changing too much. It looks pretty sharp in...

It was shown as a concept, but the MINI Paceman crossover/coupe has already been given the greenlight for production, rocketing this world premiere from interesting to important. It was also intensely odd event, as you'll see in the video below. MINI, as a brand, has embraced the odd in its...

Here's another peek at the 2012 Boss Mustang, this time on a dynamometer that Ford brought to the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. There wasn't much in the way of Mustang news, but for those who can't make the show, the gallery above will show you what you're missing. While...

You've seen the live shots, the preview, and now you get a video. Sadly, there are no hedgehogs in this one. Just the 2012 Chevy Sonic. When you're done here, be sure to check out our Detroit Auto Show page for more videos, photos, and info on the latest cars and concepts in the Motor City...

Aveo begets Sonic as Sebring begets 200. Trashing old, tarnished names and replacing them with new labels for fresher (or completely different) vehicles is nothing new. It's just popular this season. The 2011 Chrysler 200 does its best to step out of the shadow of the Playskool-inspired Sebring...

Pundits say that the economy is on the mend and that customers want to spend. (Sadly, they don't often say it in rhyme.) But while the recession may be behind us, there's still something not-quite-right about this year's Detroit Auto Show. Sure, we've seen fog machines and the mandatory strobe...

The Wagoneer name dates back to the 1960s and was used over the years on a line of SUVs from various marques, with many pundits describing the vehicles as some of the first upscale off-roaders. While most other automakers, including luxury SUV stalwart Land Rover, were building relatively...

Ford's U.S. lineup is about to change in a very significant way. And as the automaker emphasized in its Detroit Auto Show press conference, with several high-volume small car models expected to arrive this year and next, you'll soon see plenty of smaller and greener alternatives in Ford's lineup...

The new 2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe may not have lived up to all the hype, on paper at least, but the car still has a sweltering look, especially in the bright orange paintwork BMW loves to show it in. The car made its official world debut today at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, drawing most of the...

While the new hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the 2012 Ford C-Max may have grabbed most of the attention, they won’t be on sale for another year at least. The regular gasoline model, which is capable of seating up to seven, will be on sale by the end of the year, however, and it is this...

Volkswagen surprised few by sticking with the Passat name for its U.S.-specific mid-size sedan, which up until this past week had been going by the name 'New Mid-Size Sedan' or 'NMS' for short. The 2012 Volkswagen Passat sedan will start around $20,000 and offer a new take on the once-popular...

Buick’s foray into the burgeoning compact luxury segment has made its official debut today in the form of the new 2012 Buick Verano. The car is Buick’s third new model in the past two years and its first compact in decades, so understandably it managed to grab a lot of attention at the...

With new versions of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5-Series launched over the past year or two, Audi’s entrant in the mid-size executive sedan segment, the A6, was starting to get a little long in the tooth compared with its rivals. However, that’s all set to change as the brand new...

Looking almost like a Nissan Juke without the extra side of ugly, the 2011 Hyundai Curb concept brings off the compact crossover coupe theme with a futuristic grace and Hyundai's new yet already characteristic style. These live photos show it's not just interesting in carefully-lit studio shots. If...

The Hyundai Veloster is as much an exercise in "why not?" as it is in "why" so don't ask yourself too many questions when you look at these live photos. But beware if you're prone to neurasthenically-induced seizures. For the full details on the 2012 Veloster (and some considerably tamer paint...
