  • 2014 Kia Cadenza  -  First Drive, April 2013

    Kia is following the path of its corporate cousin Hyundai by unveiling a new upmarket sedan complete with a powerful V-6, a leather-lined cabin and plenty of techno-wizardry. The new sedan is the 2014 Kia Cadenza, which will serve as the flagship for the Korean automaker here in the United States. According to Kia, the decision to launch a new sedan positioned above the Optima was due to demand from customers seeking a sedan with more upscale amenities and technology. Penned under the watchful eye of Peter Schreyer, Kia’s design chief, the Cadenza’s broad shoulders, contoured...

  • Acura NSX II concept - 2013 Detroit Auto Show
    Acura Updates NSX Concept For 2013 Detroit Auto Show: Video

    Acura has unveiled an updated version of its production-destined NSX concept, which not only gives us a better indication as to what the final version will look like but also the styling of its interior. You may recall that the previous NSX concept unveiled at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show only showed...

  • 2014 Acura MDX Prototype
    2014 Acura MDX Preview: Detroit Auto Show

    Unlike automakers who show futuristic concepts, only to release production vehicles that look nothing like them, Acura and its parent Honda err of the side of caution. While officially a “prototype,” the 2014 Acura MDX on display at this week’s Detroit Auto Show gives a good idea...

    2014 Lexus IS Live Photos From 2013 Detroit Auto Show Debut

    With Lexus having already released images of its new 2014 IS range, and international media having already driven it, there’s not much else to reveal now that the car’s official public debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show has taken place. We can confirm that the latest IS will once again...

    Jeep has introduced a substantial update for its 2014 Grand Cherokee, which sees the big SUV receive new styling, a fuel-efficient diesel option and an eight-speed automatic as standard across the board. The SRT8 is still part of the lineup but as the newest addition to the now standalone SRT...

  • Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4

    Lamborghini sales grew an impressive 30 percent last year to end the period with 2,083 sales in total. That’s still off the pace of the company’s record result in 2008, where it sold a total of 2,430 vehicles. Nevertheless, it’s substantially higher than the 1,602 vehicles sold in 2011, and, with the new Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster just hitting showrooms, 2013 could prove an even better year. The sales growth over 2012 was driven by the first full year of sales for the Aventador (922 units) while the Gallardo confirms its status as the most successful Lamborghini ever with...

  • 2014 Infiniti Q50
    2014 Infiniti Q50 Live Photos And Video From Detroit

    The 2014 Infiniti Q50, the replacement for the aging G37 Sedan, has finally made its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and while we weren’t completely enamored after seeing the initial press photos, now that we’ve seen it live we must admit that the new 3-Series and C Class fighter...

    Mercedes-Benz’s updated E63 AMG has made its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show and these are the first live images of the new brute. Looking every bit as menacing as its numbers would suggest, the new E63 AMG is now officially the fastest four-door in production. This is made possible due...

  • 2014 Cadillac ELR
    2014 Cadillac ELR Preview: Guilt-Free Luxury Upstages The Chevy Volt

    Even if you’re not entirely a car person, you’ve likely noticed and perhaps even lusted after the stylish Cadillac CTS-V Coupe—perhaps in a way that you haven’t seen Cadillac before. Now take some of that same gravitas, and plug it in, and you get some of the essence behind...

  • 2014 Audi RS 7
    2014 Audi RS 7 Preview: 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    We’ve had an idea that the Audi RS 7 Sportback would be heading to the United States for a while now, but Audi has finally delivered confirmation. As part of an RS model expansion, Audi’s fastest four-door coupe is making its debut at this week’s Detroit Auto Show. While the RS 7...

  • Tesla Model X at 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    The Tesla Model X crossover is the next vehicle expected from electric automaker Tesla. While we’ve seen the exterior styling of the Model X (including its unique “falcon wing” rear doors) prior to this week’s Detroit Auto Show, what’s new and significant is the “interior exploration” that the automaker is currently highlighting. Tesla hopes to give prospective buyers an idea of the different colors and materials that will likely be available in the production Model X. The example on display blends black and white leather to add contrast to the three...

    Sporty Furia Concept Previews Next Toyota Corolla: 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    Toyota has finally pulled the covers off its Furia concept, and we can now confirm it is indeed a preview of the next-generation Corolla compact sedan. But that may not necessarily be a terrible thing. The current Corolla is as bland as compact cars come. But this concept features sharper lines...

  • Honda Urban SUV Concept revealed at 2013 Detroit Auto Show

  • MINI Paceman John Cooper Work live photos, 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    The MINI John Cooper Works Paceman is already familiar--if not quite pleasing--to our eyes. But do the official details on MINI's latest car persuade us to want to like it? Close, but not quite. You see, this is arguably the most confusing and least attractive cut of MINI's one-sausage-many-lengths theory of design. Pairing the high-riding and soft-roading qualities of the Countryman with the enthusiast-focused John Cooper Works formula could have resulted in a three-door MINI Paceman Baja Edition--a sort of micro--Raptor. Instead, it leaves us with a John Cooper Works Paceman, good for 6.5...

    2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray To Debut In Gran Turismo 5

    You’ll have to wait until the third quarter of this year to take delivery of a 2014 Corvette, but if you own a Sony PlayStation 3 and a copy of Gran Turismo 5, you can be driving the new C7 Corvette as early as tomorrow. Like the camouflaged C7 Corvette (downloaded by almost 500,000 gamers)...

  • Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis Concept revealed at 2013 Detroit Auto Show
    Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis Concept: The Future Of Hyundai's Premium Range

    Ten years ago, if you'd said Hyundai would hold a nine percent market share in the premium large sedan segments, you'd probably have been laughed out of whatever wigwam you'd been smoking your peyote in. Today, it's reality. At the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, we get a look at the future of the brand's...
