The first of Mercedes-Benz’s new generation of compact cars to reach the U.S., the 2014 CLA Class four-door coupe, made its debut this week at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show ahead of its sales launch later this year where it will wear a $30k pricetag. A new video plus our own live photos of the...

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray was just unveiled at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and unless you've been hiding under a very large rock, you already know what it looks like and every other detail, too. Now, it seems the coupe's convertible alternative has leaked about a year ahead of its...

The 2014 Acura MDX, seen here in live images from this week’s Detroit Auto Show, is officially listed as a “prototype.” As with most new product introductions from Honda and Acura in recent years, we suspect the production version will look a lot like the vehicle pictured here...

When it comes to muscle cars, there are Ford guys, there are Chevy guys and there are Mopar guys. While most Porsche owners would be willing to take a Lotus for a spin, while the Lotus driver borrows the keys to a Nissan GT-R, muscle car guys rarely cross brand lines. In fact, the most die-hard...

In August of last year, Rhys Millen set a new record for a run up the 12.42 mile Pikes Peak Hill Climb course, behind the wheel of his race-prepped Hyundai Genesis Coupe. When he crossed the finish line at the top of the mountain, just 9:46.164 had elapsed. Just over one month later, Millen’s...

The press days for the 2013 Detroit Auto Show are finally over but we’ve still got plenty of news coming your way, so buckle up and prepare for another onslaught of live photos, videos and interviews direct from the show floor. So far today we’ve already seen a pair of new products from...

In this second Inside Koenigsegg video, Christian Von Koenigsegg takes us through his company’s Triplex suspension design, which reportedly delivers both maximum traction and superior ride comfort. Those two areas are often at odds in suspension design, since making a car go around corners...

Capturing the theme of an auto show is usually a fairly easy matter; skeining together the mutters and exclamations of our colleagues, observing the gesticulating from the carmakers, dividing the horsepower by the mpgs, then distilling it all to yield the defining spirit. This year, however, the...

A new Acura NSX supercar is brewing, and though the concept versions we’ve seen don’t appear to resemble the original NSX in anyway, apart from also featuring a mid-engine layout and V-6 engine, the two cars do have some core commonality. Just like the original ‘New Sportscar...

It’s not quite the EcoBoosted Shelby we were expecting, but the legendary American tuner formed by the late Carroll Shelby has stayed true to its word, unveiling at this week’s 2013 Detroit Auto Show a new product powered by one of Ford’s fuel-efficient EcoBoost engines. That new...

Crossovers don’t have to be bland, something that automaker Nissan proved with its stylish Murano and Murano Cross Cabriolet models. Abandoning the utilitarian box-on-box styling traditionally favored by SUVs and crossovers, the Murano was one of the first such vehicles that customers bought...

The all-new Audi RS 7 has been expected to arrive here in the U.S. for months now, but this week we got confirmation at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Anyone lamenting Audi’s decision not to bring over its latest generation of the RS 6 needn’t be sad anymore, as the new RS 7, which arrives...

Since we’re the glass-is-half-empty sort, we’ll give you the bad news up front: you won’t be able to buy a 2014 Cadillac ELR plug-in hybrid coupe until sometime next year, although we’re sure your local Cadillac dealer would be happy to take your deposit now. We don’t...

When it comes to range-extended electric vehicles, the concept of delivering fuel economy up to 100 miles per gallon equivalent isn’t all that foreign; after all, the 2013 Chevrolet Volt delivers 98 MPGe. What the Volt and other range-extended electric vehicles fail to deliver is 800-plus...

Today, January 15, 2013, marks the 100th birthday of automaker Aston Martin. It also officially kicks off the brand’s 100th anniversary celebration, which will include driving events in the U.K. and the U.S., as well as a week-long festival scheduled for mid-July. As you’d expect, Aston...
