  • 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible live photos

    LOS ANGELES--Chevrolet kicked off the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show by formally introducing the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. There weren't a lot of new details--Chevy has already released information on the car's specs and pricing. But I did spend a few minutes chatting with John Fitzpatrick, the marketing manager for performance cars (Corvette and Camaro), and he helped break down the differences between the coupe and convertible. Hint: They're subtle. It starts with a seven-speaker audio system that uses a new subwoofer, which is located in the trunk behind the rear seat. Other...

    Bentley. The name alone conjures, alternately, images of elegant serenity and brashly overt consumption. But the 2011 Mulsanne, for all its in-your-face luxury, is every inch the elegant, refined, and elementally Bentley sedan. In fact, it's the most "Bentley" Bentley since 1928. Why is that?...

  • Buick Regal GS concept car

    Last week Buick showed off the production version of the 2012 Regal GS to some very mixed reactions. The interwebz went ablaze with enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts both commenting on the looks and powertrain of the Regal GS. Making 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet to only the front wheels, many screamed that there will be too much torque steer. GM feels they have cured that issue with their (quite impressive) HiPerStrut system in the front. When asked why the all-wheel drive system from the Regal GS's European sister was taken out, the answer had to do with weight and necessity. Engineers...

    Toyota has done lost its mind. This stretched, "tricked out, suped up" minivan is the Swagger Wagon Supreme. As our social media hero Joel Feder so eloquently put it, "...speechless."

Company, the Swagger Wagon Supreme is based on a standard 2011 Toyota Sienna SE V6 with interior features from the Sienna XLE. Modifications added to the behemoth baby-mover read like a furniture store ad for the latest in sofa technology: reversible seat cushions, swiveling captain's chairs, a "spa seat" with...
