  • 2011 Bentley Continental GT

    Bentley just threw the doors open on the new second-generation 2011 Continental GT, and now we have a video to go along with the photos and fact sheets. While it's light on information, the passion and attention to detail that goes into every Bentley is on full display. And yes, you do get to see the car in action. In addition to the rolling footage, you'll see sketches, under-the-sheetmetal shots, and other steps in the design and fabrication process. If you're a Bentley fan, there's plenty here to love, and many frames to freeze for closer inspection. [Bentley]

    Brough & Howarth: The $37,000 Car Wax

    You've just put a new set of $38,000 tires on your Bugatti Veyron after getting the $21,000 service and replacing the $12,000 set of wheels. You've had her hand washed by a pro, but you want that little something special to finish the job and make the paint look as much like a black hole as your...

  • Sarah Michelle Gellar
    Sarah Michelle Gellar Is All Grown Up And Would Like Her Oscar NOW

    Remember Sarah Michelle Gellar? Of course you do. She was fighting vampires before it was cool. You know, after it was cool the first time? Anyway, we haven't heard much out of her, lo these past several years (except on Robot Chicken where her voiceovers are soothing, alto ear-balm), but now she...

  • 2011 Lotus Evora S

    We're just over a month away from the 2010 Paris Motor Show and already the cars that will be on display are starting to trickle into the light. Today's unveiling: the 2011 Lotus Evora S. Designed to be a more focused, better communicating take on the Evora GT-light experience, the Evora S offers a boost to 345 horsepower from the same 3.5-liter V-6 engine--which may or may not be fitted with a compact supercharger as expected, as Lotus completely left it out of the press release. It's almost certainly there, as gaining 69 horsepower over the stock Evora's 276-horsepower rating isn't...

    Jenson Button Gets His Mercedes C63 AMG DR 520 Uber Wagon

    Being the reigning Formula 1 World Champion has its perks. Like getting your hands on a one-of-twenty limited edition 520-wheel-horsepower Mercedes uber wagon, for example. Jenson Button today took delivery of his special edition Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG DR 520 Estate. The special-edition car...

    Report: Audi A3 Sedan Still Headed To U.S.

    Confirming (or at least duplicating) reports from back in January, a new report out of Germany says the Audi A3 Sedan is still on track for the U.S. The plan is to leverage America's love for sedans and the potential for affordability with the A3 into more substantial sales figures. It's a pretty...

    Audi A1 Won't Make It To U.S. Until Second Gen "At The Earliest"

    It's coming to the U.S. No wait, it isn't. Wait, maybe it is. Oh, sorry, no, it's not. So far, that's the story of the 2011 Audi A1, though by the time it reaches the U.S., if it ever does, it'll likely be 2015 or later. When it comes to European hatches, we Americans have to look for the silver...

    2012 McLaren MP4-12C Kicks Off North American Retail Tour

    2012 Nissan GT-R Images Leaked

    These images purport to be the first look at the 2012 Nissan GT-R as it gets ready for its 2011 rollout in Japan. The additions for 2012 appear to be solely cosmetic, though with the GT-R's already impressive performance, there's not much need for more speed. Starting at the front end, the...

  • 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

    The next generation of Hyundai's Equus, Genesis Sedan and Genesis Coupe will get all-wheel drive according to CEO John Krafcik, revealed at today's Equus drive event. The move is no doubt intended to put Hyundai on equal footing with its luxury rivals like BMW, Cadillac, and Audi, all of which offer all-wheel drive versions of their most popular sedans and coupes. It's perhaps unsurprising as well, with the rate at which Hyundai has been improving its vehicle lineup. From the Genesis to the Sonata and now the Equus, Hyundai is stepping up its game in every segment, building its brand into a...

  • 2011 Volkswagen Phaeton
    Volkswagen Phaeton Confirmed For U.S. Return

    The Volkswagen Phaeton didn't fare so well the first time around in the U.S. Priced too high for its marque's cachet and without the styling or performance to compete with BMW or Mercedes, the Phaeton was, in short, a flop, dead after just three years on sale in America. But Volkswagen thinks it...

    First Drive: 2010 Aston Martin V12 Vantage

    Coming straight out of a two-hour stint in the Ferrari 458 Italia and jumping into just about anything else, you expect to be...underwhelmed. Not so with the Aston Martin V12 Vantage.

    Bentley Launches Microsite For 2011 Continental GT

    We've already seen the 2011 Bentley Continental GT all but unmasked in our spy shots, but the details of what's under the (relatively) sleek new skin still remain unknown. All the wondering will be over by mid-September, though, as Bentley today launched a new microsite teasing the car's unveiling...

      Man With Steering Wheel: ...And this, of course, is the steering wheel. Jay Leno: Ordinarily, that's connected to the car, right? MWSW: Ach! You Americans. Such kopfschmerzen you give me. How do you put up with it, Arnold? Arnold Schwarzenegger: ...Huh? MWSW: I asked how you put up with all the dummkopfen in your new homeland. Jay: Actually, I was making a joke. MWSW: Is that so? Please to be leaving the joke-making to the professionals like your governor and Mr. Hasselhoff. Jay: You know that I'm a comedian, right? MWSW: Gott im himmel! Is this true, Arnie? Arnold: ...Huh?
