  • 2014 Audi RS 7 - 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    The all-new Audi RS 7 has been expected to arrive here in the U.S. for months now, but this week we got confirmation at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Anyone lamenting Audi’s decision not to bring over its latest generation of the RS 6 needn’t be sad anymore, as the new RS 7, which arrives in showrooms later this year as a 2014 model, features the same drivetrain. That drivetrain consists of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine matched to an eight-speed automatic and standard quattro all-wheel-drive system. Audiphiles will recognize the engine as being the same unit fitted to the...

  • 2014 Cadillac ELR revealed at 2013 Detroit Auto Show
    2014 Cadillac ELR Live Photos From The 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    Since we’re the glass-is-half-empty sort, we’ll give you the bad news up front: you won’t be able to buy a 2014 Cadillac ELR plug-in hybrid coupe until sometime next year, although we’re sure your local Cadillac dealer would be happy to take your deposit now. We don’t...

  • Aston Martin Vanquish Centenary Edition
    Aston Martin Turns 100 Today, Celebrates With Centenary Editions: Video

    Acura has unveiled an updated version of its production-destined NSX concept, which not only gives us a better indication as to what the final version will look like but also the styling of its interior.

  • 2014 Acura MDX Prototype
    2014 Acura MDX Preview: Detroit Auto Show

    Unlike automakers who show futuristic concepts, only to release production vehicles that look nothing like them, Acura and its parent Honda err of the side of caution. While officially a “prototype,” the 2014 Acura MDX on display at this week’s Detroit Auto Show gives a good idea...

  • Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4

    Lamborghini sales grew an impressive 30 percent last year to end the period with 2,083 sales in total. That’s still off the pace of the company’s record result in 2008, where it sold a total of 2,430 vehicles. Nevertheless, it’s substantially higher than the 1,602 vehicles sold in 2011, and, with the new Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster just hitting showrooms, 2013 could prove an even better year. The sales growth over 2012 was driven by the first full year of sales for the Aventador (922 units) while the Gallardo confirms its status as the most successful Lamborghini ever with...

  • 2014 Infiniti Q50
    2014 Infiniti Q50 Live Photos And Video From Detroit

    Mercedes-Benz’s updated E63 AMG has made its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show and these are the first live images of the new brute. Looking every bit as menacing as its numbers would suggest, the new E63 AMG is now officially the fastest four-door in production. This is made possible due...

  • 2014 Cadillac ELR
    2014 Cadillac ELR Preview: Guilt-Free Luxury Upstages The Chevy Volt

    Even if you’re not entirely a car person, you’ve likely noticed and perhaps even lusted after the stylish Cadillac CTS-V Coupe—perhaps in a way that you haven’t seen Cadillac before. Now take some of that same gravitas, and plug it in, and you get some of the essence behind...

  • BMW 4-Series Coupe Concept at 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    These are the first live images of the concept version of BMW’s replacement for the 3-Series Coupe, which once again confirm the new car will be called a 4-Series as well as reaffirming our belief that BMW can still design a stunning vehicle. Clearly the design of BMW’s new 4-Series Coupe builds on the lines of the regular 3-Series sedan with which it shares a platform, however, the 4-Series Coupe adds a whole new level of aggression and some special styling touches that make it look much more premium. Of course, this is still a concept, so the production version due later this...

    Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis Concept: The Future Of Hyundai's Premium Range

    Ten years ago, if you'd said Hyundai would hold a nine percent market share in the premium large sedan segments, you'd probably have been laughed out of whatever wigwam you'd been smoking your peyote in. Today, it's reality. At the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, we get a look at the future of the brand's...

  • 2014 BMW X5, leaked in a scale model brochure
    Is This The 2014 BMW X5?

    Bringing an all-new model of a popular vehicle to market is a complicated dance. Preview it too early, and you risk closing down sales of the current version before the new one ships. On the other hand, there are vendors and ancillary manufacturers who need to know what the car looks like, so they...

  • 2014 Infiniti Q50

    Infiniti is starting a new chapter in its relatively short life, with the new Q50 sedan the first model to be launched under the automaker’s bold new naming strategy. It’s also the first to be launched under the watchful eye of Audi veteran Johan de Nysschen, who was recently appointed head of Infiniti’s global operations, which means it should come as no surprise that Infiniti’s new naming strategy mimics that used by Audi. That new naming strategy essentially places a letter Q as the prefix for Infiniti’s regular models and a QX for its SUVs and crossovers. The...

    2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA: 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    Mercedes-Benz hasn't sold a compact sedan in the U.S. since the instant-collectible 190E 2.3-16 started accruing its legendary status in the 1980s. Now, there's a new small Benz coming, and soon--but will the driving wheels make all the difference with the 2014 CLA 250? With the CLA, Mercedes-Benz...

    In 2010 Lincoln confirmed plans for a new compact crossover positioned below its MKX, which, along with another compact car, would form the point of entry for the resurgent American luxury brand.
