The next 12 months are shaping up to be the most successful period ever, in terms of sales, for legendary British marque Aston Martin. Analysts expect sales to top 6,500 units this year following from a previous high of 5,000 vehicles for the past year. With figures like these it’s hard to...

Cadillac is well underway in developing a strong business case to add two new sub-$30,000 vehicles to its luxury lineup. The new cars will go up against the latest affray of small vehicles from the German luxury marques and could be in showrooms by the end of 2009. The first vehicle will be a...

One of the problems with many of the Euro-tuners is that their cars are often considered gaudy because of the huge wheels and overcreative bodykits. Sure, they may go like stink, but there’s not a whole lot of class to it. That’s why we really like the work done by Italian based Studio...

Contrary to reports made by most other motoring websites, Bentley is well underway in developing a SUV for the prestige market. Though management at Bentley headquarters in Crewe, England, still adamantly deny production of such a vehicle, we’re still hearing whispers that the vehicle is...

We finally have official images of the new BMW X5 which arrives on the market as a 2007 model. The latest version will be bigger than the outgoing X5, growing in both length and width and no doubt adding extra weight as well. Power will come from two new petrol engines, a 3.0-litre inline six with...

Mercedes-Benz has been offering its military inspired G-Wagen to civilians since 1979. In terms of design, nothing much has changed since the original.

Rumor has it that BMW is developing a new X car in the form of the X4 to enter the emerging crossover market. To be based on the existing X3, the X4 will have four doors but will come with a more coupe-like roof. There may even be a two door variant as well. The new vehicle will be a niche product...

This year, Ferrari plans to drive two brand new 599 GTB Fioranos on a journey spanning 20,000 miles from Brazil to New York.

Our favorite grumpy Brit Jeremy Clarkson has reviewed the latest Aston Martin DB9. One of the problems many DB9 owners have had is that the battery can die if you don’t drive it for a few days. Clarkson borrows an Aston to try to test this, but gives in after three days, saying: "I’m...

Ferrari’s successor to the Enzo is still way out on the horizon, but the potent FXX that's already in the hands of owners is a clear pointer to the kind of performance you can expect. The Italian automaker has gathered important feedback from its 29 client test-drivers of the exclusive FXX...

Finally an Aston Martin that's significantly different from every other new Aston. This one may look like the others, but hold on, it has four doors. Though still a concept, the Rapide has been trotted out enough to make us believe that it’s coming, and soon. Considering that Porsche is...

Car customiser JE Design have created a wide-body kit for the Audi Q7, which, not surprisingly, is labelled the Q7 WIDE BODY. The normally understated look of the Audi is masked by the excessive body kit that screams “plastic fantastic.” This is an obvious case of too much money and no...

Though the Porsche 911 is arguably the best sports car in the world, its well heeled clients have long been disappointed with the interior trim and lac of luxury. Sure, a 911 isn’t a bad place to be, but cars from Aston Martin and Bentley are a huge step ahead in terms of luxury. Porsche has...

In its pursuit of the “ultimate driving machine” BMW has developed a system that, well, doesn’t require any driving. BMW has designed a self-parking car that uses a small camera and reflector placed at the end of your garage. It requires just a single push of a button attached to...

For all the doubters who thought the Bugatti Veyron wouldn’t even make it out of testing and that Volkswagen (Bugatti’s parent company) were kidding themselves by producing a world-beating supercar, prepare to get owned. Bugatti dealers across the U.S. already have a total of 30...

Remember Lexus' LF-A coupe concept from 2005? Well, we can confirm that this is luxury two-seat coupe will eventually be launched and made available to European markets as well as the U.S. and Japan.

Audi's late entry into the world of SUVs is doing much better than they expected. Their planned capacity of 60,000 units per year is already overstreatched so they've decided to add another 10,000 to that. Audi marketing man Ralph Weyler claims that a further increase to 80,000 units is on the...
