The 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS has been officially revealed ahead of its debut at the Beijing Auto Show later this month. If you're looking for a lean, mean, sporting SUV, this may be the ticket. Nissan's rumored sub-370Z 240SX revival may be back on the table, especially now that the Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S are out there. We're just happy to see smaller, more affordable sports cars making a comeback. The 2013 Dodge Dart gets the first OEM-optional in-car wireless gadget charging system, though it'll cost you $199.99 plus installation. You'll find all of these stories and more in the day's car...

While the whole 2013 Porsche Cayenne range gets a set of small updates, it's the new model that's wagging tongues: the diesel. It's been on the market in Europe since 2009, but today, it's making its way to the U.S., though it won't arrive in showrooms until September. Priced from $55,750, the Cayenne Diesel sits smack in between the base Cayenne and the Cayenne S. In power terms, however, it's about 20 percent behind the V-6 Cayenne gasoline burner, measuring 240 horsepower from its 3.0-liter V-6 turbodiesel engine. On the other hand, it does generate a substantial 406 pound-feet of torque...

Smaller, sub-RX Lexus crossover in the works--report
The Lexus RX sits comfortably amidst the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Acura RDX, and Range Rover Evoque. But below it, the Audi Q3 and BMW X1 are snatching up bits of a segment that's not well-populated--at least in theory. Lexis is working to change that, according to the vice president of Lexus Europe...

Today we have several all-new models, revealed ahead of their New York Auto show debuts--but first we have the upcoming 2014 Audi Q7, spied even before it has progressed past test mule status.

2013 Acura RDX first drive review
If you've driven the previous Acura RDX, you know the definition of compromise. While it was, in many ways, ahead of its time, the RDX was rough, balky, and awkward as much as it was peppy, fun, and high-tech. Times have changed. The 2013 Acura RDX doesn't look all that much different from the last...
