This is the Toyota Racing Development take on the 2013 Lexus LS 460. While the LS itself is well-respected as a comfy and capable continent cruiser, and supposedly much enhanced for the new model year, we just can't quite get our minds around this body kit. It's not any one thing, exactly, but...

Lexus has redesigned its flagship LS sedan for the 2013 model year to be more luxurious and more refined than the model it replaces. Unfortunately, these changes (and the strong Japanese yen versus the weak U.S. dollar) mean that prices on Lexus’ premier luxury sedan are going up. The...

If you want to get your hands on a Volvo C30 hatchback, we’d advise you not to wait much longer. In order to “better position Volvo for the future,” the automaker will discontinue C30 production in December, ending the compact hatch with the 2013 model year. Volvo’s official...

The 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder LP 560-4 has been revealed, and like its hardtop sister, it's a case of minor upgrades and adjustments rather than a hardcore redesign. Mercedes' CLA 45 AMG has been spied again, this time showing the final shape--though still camouflaged--of the upcoming small...

UPDATE: The 2014 Maserati Quattroporte has been revealed. Click here for all the photos and details. Maserati is in the midst of an ambitious new model roll-out plan that will see the automaker’s lineup not only freshened but injected with some brand new models. Fiat Group CEO Sergio...

A four-door coupe based on the same platform found in the latest Mercedes-Benz A Class and B Class models is due to go on sale next year, including in the U.S., and we now have new spy shots of a high-performance AMG version. Previously, AMG engineers were hiding the chassis beneath the body of a B...

The previous generation of the Audi S8 was a bit odd among the full-size performance sedan crowd, though it was odd in a way we liked. Power came from a high-revving 5.2-liter V-10 whose design was derived from the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo supercar, and its rating was an...

Jaguar Land Rover has announced the recall of certain 2012 Range Rover models, which may have had their windshields improperly installed during the assembly process. As a result, the windshields can come loose in a crash, increasing the chance of occupant injury. Though the NHTSA announcement does...

Lexus recently held a competition on its Facebook page where the prize was a chance to test drive an LFA and experience the supercar at the Skip Barber Racing School at Laguna Seca. Oh, and the winner was also to receive some one-on-one time with pro racer and Lexus spokesman Scott Pruett. Well...

Mercedes-Benz has committed to developing and launching ten new models by the year 2020, and a fresh product line may be exactly what the luxury automaker needs to combat lagging sales. That said, can Mercedes-Benz introduce new models quickly enough to catch rivals Audi and BMW, and will the...

Aston Martin is announcing the recall of 169 V12 Vantage Coupes, built for model years 2010 to 2012. At issue is the programming of the cars’ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which won’t trigger a dashboard warning light until tire pressure drops to 69-percent of the specified...

At its launch in late 2009 Lexus confirmed its over-the-top supercar, the two-seat, V-10 powered LFA, would be limited to just 500 units in total and that the cars would be painstakingly assembled at the rate of just 20 per month. At that rate, production of the LFA is slated to end this December...

When Volvo announced it was signing NBA star Jeremy Lin as a pitchman for its cars last March, “Linsanity” was everywhere. It seemed impossible to turn on televised news without hearing the latest exploits of the New York Knicks’ unlikely superstar point guard. In the seven months...

Acura has sunk a considerable amount of time, money and effort into the 2013 ZDX crossover, trying to make the oddly-styled Jack-of-all-trades vehicle more appealing to the general public. The 2013 Acura ZDX will get a restyled grille; parking sensors front and rear; power folding mirrors and a...

Robert E. Ferguson, GM’s vice president for global public policy and a former AT&T executive, has been appointed to the newly-created position of vice president, Cadillac global. Ferguson will report directly to GM’s chairman and CEO, Dan Akerson. As he transitions into the role...

For Lamborghini, producing one more car than what the customer demands is not an option. Lamborghini is all about exclusivity, and this is something that’s not going to change anytime soon, at least if CEO Stephan Winkelmann is in charge. But engineering and building world-beating supercars...

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz E Class range has just gone on sale, complete with a new E400 Hybrid model in the U.S. and an E300 Bluetec Hybrid for other markets.
