The BMW Group, which represents brands BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce, is on track for record results this year, with the automaker’s sales for the first 10 months of the year already up 8.8 percent on the same period a year ago. The final number came in at 1,493,153 units, which is already the...

On Sunday afternoon, at the AdvoCare 500 in Phoenix, Arizona, Brad Keselowski almost certainly became the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion.

Aston Martin is doing something nearly unheard of these days: surviving as a car company without the backing of an industry megalith. Admittedly, Aston's niche is rather unique, and its decades of brand recognition and reputation (not to mention a tie-in with a grand cultural institution) don't...

Forty years ago, the plan was beautiful: take the first Range Rover to Morocco to show off its dune-stalking, terrain-conquering prowess and bedazzle the world's press. A popular uprising has a way of changing history and itineraries--like so (sweeps arm across desk)--so the launch was scrubbed...
