As far as high-end sports cars go, the Porsche lineup is pretty fuel efficient. Light weight and six-cylinder engines usually do the trick, but those attributes don’t exactly describe the new Panamera. The large, four-door Porsche comes standard with a bare minimum of 400 horsepower, and while... 

Casual observers will have a difficult time distinguishing between Honda’s 2009 and 2010 CR-V. Small exterior tweaks and interior upgrades top the list of changes, while underhood, Honda’s cute ‘ute gets another 14 horses to play with while returning slightly better fuel economy. The... 

The first and possibly most important thing you need to know about the new 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster is that Nissan knew it’d be building a convertible from day one. Over beers and some yummy Asian food with Bruce Campbell, Nissan’s VP of design, we learned that the 350Z Roadster was an... 

With all the leaks leading up to the Frankfurt Motor Show, we knew this one would pop sooner rather than later. And here it is: the Audi R8 Spyder. No more spy shots or speculation. The drop-top bomber from Ingolstadt has arrived… and it’s achingly gorgeous in this chocolate hue. Without... 

European consumers enjoy a segment those of us in the States have never warmed up to: premium compact cars. But in recent years, one luxury marque has been noticeably absent from the throngs of A3s, 1 Series and B-Classes populating the congested roads across the pond. Lexus hopes to rectify that situation... 

Reports of a collaboration between Daimler and Renault on a new four-door model to join the Fortwo in Smart dealerships just won’t die, leading us to believe there may be a ring of truth behind the rumors. The last time Daimler set out to partner on a more mainstream Smart, the resulting ForFour... 

Still waiting for that baby Ferrari to come along? This may be as close as you’ll get. Confirming earlier reports, Fiat’s Abarth and Ferrari subsidiaries have gotten together to collaborate on a special 500 to honor Maranello. We first heard about a special Ferrari edition 500 last year... 

It had been reported that SAIC had quietly taken a stake in Saab in conjunction with the Koenigsegg Group. However, it’s been confirmed that Beijing Automotive — which also recently made a play for Opel — has grabbed a share of the Trollhätten pie. BAIC provided the $400 million difference... 

The 2010 Acura TSX V6 is something of a consolation prize. At the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, Acura showed off a new 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel and said it would launch in the U.S. this year. A few months later in New York, Honda’s luxury arm showed off the all-new second generation TSX sedan,... 

In just under ten months, this blogger has gone from not having been inside a Mustang in 13 years (and a used one at that), to driving, in this order, a 2010 Mustang GT, a Mustang GT with the Track Pack, a Shelby GT500 Mustang and a Roush 427R. That sequence also defines our order of favorites; every... 

There’s a lot of competition to be seen as the world’s greenest automaker – just look at the branding efforts surrounding the Toyota Prius or the Chevrolet Volt for examples – but if you look at the way an automaker designs, builds and recycles its products, then BMW is the top dog. At least... 

Lexus has apparently released this new front-end shot of the Frankfurt Motor Show-bound LF-Ch hybrid concept car, now making the rounds on the Internet. The hatchback is quite a looker, especially coming from Lexus, whose present lineup is relatively staid in appearance. Unfortunately, the body style...
