With the financial backing of its Indian parent, plus a string of recent successes, Land Rover is about to embark on an ambitious plan to expand its lineup to 16 models (up from six) and potentially double its sales by 2020. While Land Rover has no plans to move away from SUVs and crossovers, to...

Yesterday, Maserati took the covers off its all-new, sixth-generation Quattroporte sedan, ahead of the car’s official debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January. Along with the reveal, Maserati CEO Harald Wester reaffirmed his company’s plans to boost sales to around 50,000 annually...

Trademarks are a bit of a dodgy business when you get down to the ways corporations use them to protect past, present, and potential future products. You can't always rely on a trademark database to indicate a company's--especially a carmaker's--future product direction. Nonetheless, the filing of...

BMW will be launching six new diesels in the U.S. over the next two years. That's great news for people that like torque and MPGs but maybe aren't interested in going hybrid. Fisker has investigated the cause of the fires of a group of Karmas after flooding during Hurricane Sandy, and claims the...

The covers have finally come off one of the most anticipated cars of next year, the all-new 2014 Maserati Quattroporte. Set to debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January, the new flagship sedan is the first of Maserati's modernized lineup with which the automaker hopes to increase sales almost...

Audi is addressing the claim that its cars all look the same by taking its design in a bold new direction. The automaker plans to introduce greater differentiation between each of its model lines, with its future styling expected to reflect in greater detail the technical aspects behind the cars...

Despite not officially being on sale yet, the 2014 Jaguar F-Type has already racked up more than 2,000 sales, which is almost a third of the 6,000 to 7,000 examples Jaguar is hoping to sell in 2013. Most of those orders come from customers in Europe, where the F-Type made its official debut, but...

While it may not have drawn the same $4.1 million selling price as the heavily-modified Aston Martin DB5 used in the filming of Goldfinger, the DB5 formerly owned by former Beatle Paul McCartney commanded a respectable £307,000 ($490,463) when the hammed fell at RM Auctions’ recent...

For Tesla Motors fans, owners and investors, this morning’s third-quarter earnings call was a mixture of bad news and good news. First, the bad news: the start-up automaker lost $110.8 million in the third quarter, compared to losses of $65.1 million in the third quarter of 2011. While the...

In September, prior to the Paris Auto Show, we caught word that Lexus was working on an all-new compact crossover. At the time, we expected the new grocery-getter model to debut in Paris, but instead, Lexus surprised us with the LF-CC concept. That doesn’t mean that a Lexus-badged compact...

BMW is working on updated versions of several of its key models, including its 5-Series sedan and X3 crossover. Another updated BMW we should be seeing in the near future is the 5-Series Gran Turismo, which first came on the scene in late 2009 as a 2010 model. We’ve just got our hands on spy...

Next year Porsche celebrates the 50th anniversary of its iconic 911, and to mark the occasion the sports car manufacturer is readying something special. It was at the 1963 Frankfurt Auto Show that the first 911 appeared, originally as a concept and with a 901 designation. After a quick name change...

Four-door coupes are all the rage these days, so it seems logical to us that Audi would opt to introduce an S version of its popular A7. Like the all-new-for 2013 Audi S6, the S7 rides on the Volkswagen group’s MLB platform and benefits from a new 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 engine mated to a...

HID headlights have always been a target for thieves, and some brands of automobiles have earned a reputation for being easy to steal from. Such is the case with Porsche, which is why a Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge recently approved a class action lawsuit over Porsche’s headlight design...

Now that Tesla has successfully launched its Model S sedan in the United States to near-universal praise from buyers and the automotive press, the electric automaker is turning its attention to the other side of the Atlantic. Yesterday, Tesla announced a marketing push for Europe, which began with...

Cadillac has a credibility problem. It’s not that the automaker has released bad information, and it’s certainly not due to the impressive products the luxury brand has been cranking out in recent years. Instead, its credibility issue is in regards to pricing. Luxury brands are supposed...

Prices on the Rolls-Royce Ghost sedan rise slightly for the 2013 model year, with the new base price coming in at $260,750, a jump of $7,050 on last year’s model. That price includes destination and a gas-guzzler tax, the latter of which is responsible for part of the increase. Because of the...

Currently, Jaguar Land Rover’s range of models roughly comprise seven largely unrelated platforms, but going into the future the company hopes to prune these down to just two or three. The goal is to get around 70 to 80 percent of Jaguar Land Rover’s core model range on common...

Jaguar is following Mercedes-Benz’s lead of expanding its design talents into other fields, by designing a new speedboat concept inspired by the svelte lines of its XF Sportbrake model sold overseas. According to Jaguar design boss Ian Callum, who was in charge of the project, the speedboat...

The 2015 Audi R8 may not share its platform with Porsche, despite years of previous rumors and reports that it would. What this means for the Lamborghini Gallardo isn't yet clear, but it looks like it could share its underpinnings with the Audi. Jaguar has kindly gifted us a video comparing the...
