  • 2015 Volkswagen Golf, at 2013 New York Auto Show

    Every year, an international panel of automotive journalists selects the best cars in the world under various categories, handing out its awards at the New York Auto Show. Atop the hierarchy is the World Car of the Year, followed by the World Performance Car, the World Car Design of the Year and the World Green Car (where our own John Voelcker, editor of Green Car Reports, contributed his expertise for the panel of judges). For 2013, the panel chose the Mark VII Volkswagen Golf (which will debut in the United States next year, as a 2015 model) as the World Car of the Year, saying it was...

    Mark Martin To Sub For A Recovering Denny Hamlin

    When Denny Hamlin’s number 11 Toyota hit the inside wall of the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, following contact with Joey Logano, it was clear that the impact was a big one. The inside wall lacked a SAFER energy-reducing barrier, and the crash was severe enough to lift...

  • Subaru WRX Concept, 2013 New York Auto Show
    2013 Subaru WRX Concept: New York Auto Show Live Shots

    We’ll warn you in advance that the 2013 Subaru WRX Concept displayed at this week’s New York Auto Show may or may not be what the final product looks like. Subaru is hedging its bets, saying only that the show-stopping concept represents its “new design language” for the...

    2014 Porsche 911 GT3: Live Images From New York

    Kia Reveals Its Cub Concept At The 2013 Seoul Motor Show

    Though the Seoul Motor Show may not draw the same attention as the (simultaneous) New York Auto Show, it’s still an important home market event for Korean automaker Kia. On Monday, we brought you a teaser image of the brand’s latest concept, the Kia Cub four-door coupe, set to be...

  • 2014 SRT Viper TA

    Chevrolet’s Corvette won the first battle of a war that we’re sure will ensue for many years to come, and that’s the track lap time feud between the bowtie-badged sports car and the new Viper from the SRT camp. SRT has since retaliated with its 2014 Viper TA, where the TA stands for, you guessed it, Time Attack. No extra power is offered on this model, though it gets some uprated suspension, a lighter curb weight and a host of extras. The car is based on the standard Viper and not the better-equipped GTS. In designing it, engineers revised the suspension settings to refocus...

  • 2014 Dodge Durango
    Battle Of The SUVS: 2014 Dodge Durango, Toyota Highlander and Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid

    In the old days, SUVs were crude, truck-derived vehicles, purchased by those with a need to go where the busses don’t run, or a need to get from point A to point B regardless of weather. Families bought station wagons, or later, minivans. Then the SUV and crossover craze hit, and suddenly...

  • 2014 Scion tC
    2014 Scion tC Revealed In New York

    The Scion tC coupe accounts for a staggering 40-percent of Scions sold since the brand’s introduction in the U.S. market 10 years ago. Though sales of the tC have fallen in recent years, the model is still a significant one for the Scion brand, and the Japanese automaker hopes that an all-new...

  • Lexus LF-LC Blue Concept
    Lexus LF-LC Concept Confirmed For Production: Report

    The Lexus LF-LC Concept’s reception at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show was an undeniable a success, but in a world where economics rule that doesn’t necessarily mean production is a given--even with Lexus attempting to inject some much-needed sportiness to its lineup. Nevertheless...

  • 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo spy shots

    Now that the new Porsche 911 GT3 has made its debut, attention turns to the next performance variant of the Type 991 Porsche 911 family, the infamous Turbo. Though we’ve been spying prototypes of the car for several years now, today, we have a new set of shots that show the new Porsche 911 Turbo almost completely undisguised. Being this late into its development, we expect the new car to debut soon, most likely at September’s Frankfurt Auto Show before reaching showrooms around the end of the year as a 2014 model. The Porsche 911 Turbo is a car that needs no introduction here at...

    2014 Mercedes-Benz B Class Electric Drive Debuts In New York

    After literally years of speculation, Mercedes-Benz’s B Class hatchback has finally landed in the U.S., though there’s only one variant, and it’s electric. Yes, Mercedes-Benz is introducing a zero-emission version of its B Class in the U.S. for the 2014 model year, revealing the...

    2014 Jeep Cherokee Live Photos: 2013 New York Auto Show

    One of the most anticipated introductions of the 2013 New York Auto Show wasn't a sports car, a convertible, or a high-priced luxury vehicle. It was the return of a familiar model name: the Jeep Cherokee. And here we have some of the first pictures of this new utility vehicle, live from the floor...

  • 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid, at 2013 New York Auto Show
    2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid Bows In New York

    If the 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid looks familiar from the outside, it should; after all, it’s been on the market as the Infiniti JX35, sans the hybrid drivetrain, since last year. Remember when Infiniti went through its alphabet soup naming exercise? The JX35 is now the QX60. What’s new...

  • 2014 Hyundai Equus

    When Hyundai first revealed its Equus several years ago, adding a model to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Lexus LS, or Jaguar XJ, among others, seemed downright outlandish. But what was seen as far-fetched then is now seeming quite smart. Now for 2014, as previewed at the 2013 New York Auto Show, Hyundai is giving the Equus a significant refresh, including some subtle changes on the outside, a redesigned instrument panel, new cabin materials, suspension improvements, and a host of new active-safety technologies and upgrades. On the outside, a new grille and front fascia...

  • 2014 Kia Soul
    Kia Bares Its (2014) Soul In New York, Complete With Live Photos

    Though Kia has, on occasion, missed the mark with vehicles in the United States (such as its Borrego SUV), there’s no denying that its Soul “urban passenger vehicle” is a solid hit that seems to defy demographics. Though pitched at Millennial buyers, we’ve seen plenty of...

    2014 Bentley Flying Spur Live Photos From The New York Auto Show

    Bentley didn’t muck around with the redesign of its Flying Spur, which for the latest generation stands alone rather than being just the four-door member of the Continental range. On the outside, the changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary, consisting of a revised greenhouse that...

  • 2015 Volvo V60 R-Design
    Volvo V60 Confirmed For The U.S.

    Once, Volvo wagons roamed the U.S. landscape, shuttling families to and from soccer practice and Boy Scout meetings in the days before SUVs and crossovers. Volvo even managed to carve out a niche in the performance wagon segment with its Volvo Turbo Wagon, boasting that until Ferrari built a wagon...

    2014 Jaguar XJR: New York Auto Show Live Images

    Jaguar’s full-size XJ sedan has long been big on comfort, but it isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “sport sedan,” even in Supercharged form. Jaguar is looking to correct that with the launch of its 2014 XJR, which promises to serve up equal...

    2014 BMW 328d Live Photos: Diesel Torque + 3-Series = ???

    Great mileage and lots of torque: what's to argue with? That's at least the superficial theory behind the 2014 BMW 328d, the latest addition to the 3-Series lineup and to BMW's U.S. diesel fleet. Shown today at the New York Auto Show it looks…like any other 3-Series, for the most part...
