Normally when an automaker updates a model, even if it’s just a quick cosmetic change, the earlier version is treated like cheek meat – nobody wants it unless it’s a real good deal, and the dealers just want them gone. Mitsubishi evidently thinks its home-market will be kinder to the... 

Sigh. Another day, another 500+ horsepower supercar to babysit for a week. Such is my lot in life. Obviously I’m joking, to a degree. To be honest, I wasn’t that particularly jazzed about the Audi R8 with the defanged Lambo LP560-4 V10 shoehorned behind the seats, especially as I had... 

BMW’s storied history of building roadsters dates back to the original 328 of the 1930s. However, there have been gaps in the brand’s open-top lineage, including one extended stretch through the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. After a dalliance with the bizarre European market... 

When Porsche introduced the Cayman in 2006, one thing was abundantly clear: Porsche had muzzled its midship coupe to prevent cannibalizing 911 sales. Despite a more favorable weight distribution and an unflappable chassis, the Cayman lacked the power to exploit its excellent underpinnings, even... 

Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen doesn’t seem to be a big fan of electric vehicles, yet the four-ringed automaker appears to be warming to the green tech. Since de Nysschen’s assault on the Chevrolet Volt (and electric vehicles in general), the German luxury automaker has unveiled... 

After a 15-year hiatus, Lotus is coming back to Formula One, and to commemorate its return to the top tier of motorsport, the Hethel crew is creating yet another special Exige inspired by the Type 72 that dominated F1 in the Seventies. Like nearly every other limited edition Lotus released in the... 

Even in the face of a bleak economy and dreadful auto sales, Subaru managed to have a breakout year in 2009. Products like the Forester and the Impreza helped Subaru achieve consistent year-over-year gains while the Japanese automaker continues to post stellar quality ratings through J.D. Power and... 

The latest issue of EVO hasn’t dropped into our laps yet, but our favorite Brit pub apparently got the scoop on another variant of the Toyota FT-86 — one that’s supposedly track tuned and considerably cheaper than the model due to arrive in 2011. Powered by the same Subaru-sourced,... 

In the automotive world, price is increasingly a function of degrees. How’s that? Dial in a faster windscreen angle, aggressively rake the rear glass and – voilà! – you’ve just padded your margins to the tune of a few thousand bucks. Take a plain-jane sedan, hire some stylists to... 

The Audi R8 is undoubtedly awesome. It is also undoubtedly low, as in to the ground. Not low enough to prevent you from getting around, but you pay close attention anytime the word “driveway” comes up. Cargraphic has engineered an airlift system to address the issue that can raise the... 

Kia wants you to consider its 2010 Soul a template ripe for customization, and if you can’t think of funky things to do with it, Kia will be glad to help you. This is the Kia Ignition Soul – the second special edition after the 1,200 Denim Souls released earlier this year – in “scorching”...
