While it’s been rumored that Jaguar is planning a new entry-level sedan model to take on the likes of the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class for some time now, to this day Jaguar is yet to confirm the existence of such a model nor confirm that it’s even being looked at. Perhaps it...

Making your way in the car world today takes everything you've got, and Volvo is giving its all by taking away: the V50 will be discontinued, according to Volvo's U.S. operations chief Doug Speck. That's just the beginning, though: more models will fall as Volvo tightens its focus in a bid to boost...

The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG has once again leaked onto the Web, and this time in more detail--though still without key information--than before. Fortunately we've got you covered--on power, at least. Though rumors early on held that the next C63 AMG could get power from a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 in...

Only yesterday we reported that Volvo may bring its V60 wagon to the U.S. as a hybrid vehicle aimed at niche markets, and that the stylish wagon would be the ideal platform to launch the automaker’s plug-in hybrid technology. Today, we have confirmation that a production ready V60 Plug-In...

We all know about the Nissan GT-R and its impressive launch control system, which in the latest 2012 model enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds.

Two new Touaregs made their debut in Qatar today, with a special take on the Race Touareg 3 and, for the driver that can't get enough of anything, the Touareg Gold Edition. Yes, that's real 24-karat gold. Bling is not a worn-out term in Qatar, it appears--or at least not a worn-out concept...

Mercedes has been talking about a diesel GLK and C-Class in the U.S. since at least 2008. There's even the possibility they'll be built in the company's Alabama plant. The timeline has largely been aimed at 2012-2013 for U.S. construction and sale, though before the market crash of 2008, there were...

Love it or hate it, Ferrari's new shooting brake grand tourer, the first to sport all-wheel drive from the Prancing Horse, is here. New photos and videos of the car show it in a different light--and color. As for ourselves, we wouldn't kick it out of the garage for any reason.

Is it possible to tire of special-edition models of luxury sport coupes? We don't think so, and apparently neither does Aston Martin, which keeps cranking out the Vantage variants. The latest, the V8 Vantage S, makes its Web debut today. With a small bump in power to 430 horsepower and 361...

While Audi readies its first hybrid model for launch later this year with the new Q5 Hybrid, rivals Mercedes-Benz and BMW are already working on their third and fourth gasoline-electric models.

First revealed last summer, Infiniti's 2012 M35h hybrid has been awaiting full specs and details for almost six months, despite a small dose of info from the L.A. Auto Show--but the wait is over. The first hybrid from Infiniti won't be a wimpy little green thing: the 2012 M35h's specs, released...

Audi’s first hybrid model, the new Q5 Hybrid, is scheduled to go on sale later this year but after that it will be slow going for the automaker’s other gasoline-electric vehicles. While the new Audi A6 Hybrid, unveiled earlier this month at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, will go on sale in...

While the new 458 Italia is almost universally acclaimed as one of the best looking Ferraris in years, perhaps even in all time, the recently unveiled Ferrari FF is drawing mixed responses from most that have seen it.
