It's been almost eight months since the last round of talk about a seven-passenger BMW X7 arose, so it's probably time for another go. Answering the call, the pot-stirrers at Automobile Magazine have spilled some digital ink on the matter. Said to bear the codename F17, the X7 would effectively be...

Though it's largely unchanged for the 2012 model year, there are a few new tweaks and twists to the Hyundai Genesis Sedan, along with a new slate of pricing info, released today. The good news is that it's pretty easy to get into a base V-6 model, which starts at just $34,200. That's right in the...

Revealed in concept form at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the compact and dashing Alfa Romeo 4C coupe is already tagged as the brand's leader in the return to the U.S. market, but it may get some in-house competition in the form of a Maserati-branded version. The details are still a bit sketchy...

The C-X75: It was one of the most amazing concepts of 2010, easily argued as the greatest of all. Jaguar managed to effectively sneak-attack an industrious automotive media force and come out with the best in show of the 2010 Paris Motor Show. With the show's sparkly paint, bright lights and...

Mercedes-Benz is the latest in a growing list of luxury automakers releasing new apps for the Apple iPad, a connected executive’s latest must-have and something that’s increasingly becoming an intriguing accessory for cars, especially in marketing them. This isn’t the first time...

NASCAR star Kyle Busch, currently third in the Sprint Cup standings, was pulled over on a road near his home in Mooresville, North Carolina yesterday for speeding in a bright yellow 2012 Lexus LFA not unlike the one pictured above. Busch was driving with his wife Samantha in the car at a speed of...

Fresh off its debut last weekend at the 2011 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, the stunning Aston Martin V12 Zagato is preparing for its racing debut at the Nurburgring later this week. More accurately, Aston Martin is busying preparing the concept for the track. And while it's not quite ready to...

Lincoln was once the epitome of American automotive luxury, but the past 40 years haven't been kind to the brand. Some might argue the brand hasn't been kind to itself, existing on a diet of hand-me-down Fords and lukewarm marketing. But Lincoln, and its parent company, have been talking big about...

We never really expected the 2012 Audi A6 Avant to grace our showrooms, despite hopes to the contrary. Sadly, it looks like our reasons for optimism, slim as they were, have taken a blow: Audi's Andrew Lipman says there are no plans to bring the car to the U.S. Unsurprising as it may be, it's still...

File this one in the "highly speculative" category for now, but also in the "highly tempting" sub-folder. For those familiar with the absolutely stunning performance of the BMW X5 M and X6 M, the idea of a smaller, lighter, triple-turbocharged X3 M is breathtakingly cool. Yes, that was three turbos...

Mercedes-Benz has a number of high-performance models in the pipeline, most of which we know are coming. Things like the SLS AMG Roadster, next-generation SL-Class, new SLK AMG, new C63 AMG and even a high-performance C63 AMG Black Series. However, there apparently are plans within the German...

Perhaps the strongest indication yet that Lamborghini is planning to put its striking Estoque sedan concept from the 2008 Paris Auto Show into production has come by way of clear statements from the automaker’s CEO that a third Lamborghini model is in the works and that it will be an...

When it comes to combining performance and luxury, few do it better than Mercedes-Benz. But, if you had to pick out one car that might just do it better, it would have to be the Bentley Continental GT, a car that brings the driver to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds, lets him flirt with 200 mph and does it...

Hermann Brandt Hartwig (HBH), the deranged Danish minds that helped bring to life the spectacularly excessive Zenvo ST1, are on to their next project: a V-12 powered, mid-engined supercar based on the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. They released the first teaser picture this week, giving a good look at...

There are many auto shows, both big and small, between now and next year's Geneva Motor Show. But that isn't stopping the ever-greased rumor mill from churning out a tidbit or two on the 2012 event. According to one such tidbit, Infiniti will launch an all-new sports coupe in Switzerland, and it...

You may have already read reviews of the 2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe (aka 1M), but if you have, you've likely suffered through strained historical analogies, detailed comparisons to previous M cars, and sheets of performance data. You'll find a minimum of that here. Instead, I offer you a fellow...

Our 2008 prediction for China to overtake the U.S. in overall sales for Bentley by 2012 is shaping up to prove true with news coming out this past week that the British marque has achieved record sales in China, with the country now second on the list for Bentley’s biggest markets behind the...

When BMW introduced the 5-Series Gran Turismo at the start of last year as the replacement for its 5-Series Touring station wagon, there were hopes that the oddly styled vehicle, the first incarnation of the automaker’s ‘Progressive Activity Sedan’ (PAS) design philosophy, would...

Celebrities and expensive cars go hand in hand. Throw in an artsy film festival and you’ve got a Mecca for all things luxury, including diamond-studded Maybachs as we’ve already seen, and now one of the rarest cars built in recent times, the highly impractical Mercedes-McLaren SLR...

Remember the Ferrari 575M Superamerica? The one based on the 575M Maranello but with a cool folding hard-top that simply flipped over? Well, Ferrari has built another exotic with the innovative roof system, this time based on the 575M’s successor, the 599 GTB Fiorano. Like the previous car...
