The 2012 Detroit Auto Show is just behind us, but we've collected a look at several of the latest and/or greatest from the auto industry in a series of videos. Among them, we have the 2013 Scion FR-S. As Scion's take on the Toyota GT 86 two-door sport coupe, it's probably the least expensive, most aftermarket-ready version of the three (including Subaru's BRZ)--but is it ready to take on the competition in terms of performance, style, and equipment? Mazda's MX-5 is lighter and sportier, Hyundai's Genesis Coupe is more powerful and refined inside, and even the Ford Mustang edges into the price...

Chevrolet’s sporty Tru 140S Concept and its Code 130R sibling are the result of what happens when an automaker solicits feedback from the very ground they are targeting when designing a new car. In this case Chevrolet was targeting the under-30 Millenials and apparently this is one of the types of vehicle that they’d actually like to buy. So just what is the Tru 140S Concept? Well, as our man Joel Feder found out at the car’s 2012 Detroit Auto Show debut, it is a sporty front-wheel drive coupe with 2+2 seating and is aimed directly at the Hyundai Veloster and Volkswagen...

For reasons that still remain unclear, BMW chose to drop its hugely successful ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’ tagline and replace it with the ‘JOY’ campaign when it launched the Z4 roadster back in 2008. In fairness, BMW never formally stated that it was completely abandoning the tagline, which can be found in BMW ads dating back more than three decades. However, all we’ve seen from the automaker in the past three years or so have been ads centering on the joy of driving one of its cars. Now BMW of North America has revived those famous four words for its newest...

After an early leak, the new 2013 Dodge Dart has finally been revealed to the public, with the stylish compact sedan debuting in front of audiences today at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The vehicle, despite its lower-end positioning, is a crucial model in the Fiat-Chrysler empire as the car’s fuel efficiency recently saw Fiat reach the final of three goals that have allowed the Italian auto giant to increase its stake in Chrysler without paying any cash.
