We already knew the 2013 BMW X1 would be on sale this year, starting from $31,545, but now we have some more detail on the specifics. There's one thing that's still not quite specific, however: the exact on-sale date. BMW says today the X1 will arrive "this fall," but doesn't pinpoint the calendar...

The plight of the urban-dweller is generally this: parking in a big city, anywhere in the world, is expensive, risky or both. London, England is no exception to this rule, and a space in a private, underground garage can cost you as much as $405,000. That’s a lot of money to spend, especially...

The Range Rover Evoque has been an out-of-the-park home run for Land Rover, and the factory at Halewood, England is struggling to meet worldwide demand. That’s a good problem to have, but consumer interest in any new product wanes over time. The best way to keep demand for the Evoque up...

The auction to end all auctions is taking place this month in Monaco. Hosted by RM Auctions, the caliber and sheer variety of vehicles going under the hammer are unmatched by anything we’ve ever seen in the recent past, so if you happen to be in area on the dates of May 11 and 12 head down to...

If you’re in the market for a new car, chances are good you’re being lied to. Perhaps not outright, but isn’t a lie of omission the same as a lie? Give us a bit of latitude, and we’ll explain what we mean. Let’s say you’re in the market for a new sedan, and you...

We’ll warn you in advance that the video below is NSFW, courtesy of a pair of bared female buttocks about seven seconds in. It’s tasteful nudity, but if that kind of stuff offends you, it’s probably best if you just skip this video. While this commercial wouldn't even get a second...

Any good Concours d’Elegance event is equal parts car show and celebration of the luxury lifestyle. If you’re in the one-percent, there’s plenty of opportunity to display your net worth; if you’re not, the chance to mingle with the ultra-rich while taking in the...

Audi has a long-standing goal of becoming the world’s number one luxury automaker, and for the past few years it looked like the four-ring brand was well on its way to achieving this. Last year, Audi sold just over 1.3 million vehicles worldwide, beating rival Mercedes-Benz (1.26 million) and...

The passion for the Prancing Horse has reached new heights, with Ferarri’s tally of Facebook fans passing the 8-million mark this week. In celebration of this milestone, Ferrari has released a video of the 458 Italia burning some serious rubber on the steering pad at its Fiorano race track...

Lamborghini has stated that it plans to build just one Aventador J, and that one example, unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, has already been snapped up for the princely sum of 2.1 million euros (approximately $2.8 million). Nevertheless, British tuner Prindiville, a company that prides itself...

Florida’s C1 Bank, formerly Community Bank, is offering customers a new Mercedes-Benz for opening a CD, though there is one major catch. To be eligible for one of the Mercedes-Benzes C1 is offering, either a SLK350, E350 Sedan, E350 Convertible or ML350 SUV, customers will need to open a new...

Jaguar recently announced that its upcoming sports car, the 2014 F-Type, would be available with a new supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine, but the automaker didn’t state whether this would be the sole powertrain offered. In the F-Type, the new engine is to be rated at 380 horsepower, which...

To understand a car—okay, especially one that’s perhaps a little removed from our own fiscal reality—it helps to peer into the buyers’ mindset for a stint, and to go where they might go. And when the place happens to be the French Riviera, and the car is the 2013...

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London won't officially get underway until this July, but BMW is amped up about the 4,000 vehicles it will supply to support the show. To that end, it has unveiled the cars, SUVs, and electric vehicles that will be part of it. The first of the Olympic fleet cars...

When you hit the lottery jackpot, or land that mid-six-figure bonus, what’s the very first sedan you’re going to buy? Notice that we didn’t say “car,” since we suspect that a coupe like the McLaren MP4-12C or the Ferrari 458 Italia would be atop the list. As for...

Earlier this month, we brought you news that Lamborghini had trademarked the name "Deimos,” likely for a future prototype or production model. The company appears to be on a trademarked-name kick, and has just filed to protect the name Huracán. As Car and Driver points out...

Aston Martin is working on a new generation of its DB9 luxury grand tourer, which once again is expected to spawn a regular model as well as a high-performance DBS.

Remember the new Aston Martin we showed you last week? The one we say is the new Aston Martin DB9, but Britain’s Car Magazine believes is the next Aston Martin DBS? Word on the street this week, from Britain’s Autocar (which also believes we’re looking at the new DBS), is that the...

Ving Rhames, or more specifically the characters played by Ving Rhames, doesn’t take disappointing news well. Remember Marcellus Wallace, the character played by Rhames in Pulp Fiction? The one who once tossed a guy off a roof for massaging his wife’s feet? When someone like that tells...
