  • 2013 Opel Adam

    Buick won't be getting a version of the Opel Adam hatch says the General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] division's chief. Rumors had previous circulated that Buick would get a future version of the tiny three-door hatch to spice up its lineup in the United States, but Buick head Duncan Aldred recently told Automotive News (subscription required) that he's satisfied with the brand's current lineup. The Adam would have rivaled style setters like the MINI Cooper and the Fiat 500, although that segment is largely stagnant in the U.S. Fiat, in particular, has struggled to gain share with its 500. In...

  • 2015 Jaguar XK Final Fifty edition
    Jaguar cancels plans for XK successor

    When Jaguar announced in early 2014 that it was ending production of the XK, there was hope we’d see a redesigned model at some point or perhaps even a large, luxurious coupe to challenge Mercedes-Benz’s S-Class Coupe. It seems that with all the growth in demand for SUVs, plus the...

    There's a new Nissan GT-R quarter-mile record

    Last year, we shared a video showing the team at AMS Performance taking its Nissan GT-R to the quarter-mile dragstrip and setting a new world record.

  • Lamborghini Veneno, 2013 Geneva Motor Show

    With just three ever sold to the public, it’s hard to believe that two Lamborghini Veneno coupes are currently on the used car market.

    2017 Acura MDX preview

  • 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF, 2016 New York Auto Show

    Miata fans have wanted a coupe version of Mazda's playful little roadster for ages. While we may never actually see one, the 2017 MX-5 Miata RF could be as close as we ever get. RF stands for Retractable Fastback, and that's appropriate given the sleek rear pillars. Those pillars lift away so the central roof panel can stow beneath them. With the roof up, the Miata RF looks like a handsome coupe. With it down, it has a targa-type design that doesn't allow for 100-percent open-air motoring, but combines access to the sky with a sexy profile.
