The minivan first became a significant part of the American automotive marketplace in the mid-1980s with the introduction of the Dodge Caravan. For years it reigned as the king of family movers, and for good reason.

When the factory-supported drift program was announced in February at the Chicago Auto Show, it was still in its formative stages. The original press release noted that the car would be powered by a stroked and turbocharged 4.1-liter version of Hyundai's Lambda V6 cranking out 550 hp. However, Hyundai didn't give final approval for the drift program with... Full article...

And aside from all-wheel drive and direct fuel injection and turbocharging and fine styling, Audi is also good at building lots of luxury and refinement into its compact sedans and wagons.That brings us to the all-new 2009 Audi A4. Indeed, Audi is much better known for the compact, luxurious A4 than its larger offerings like the A8 and Q7, which can explain why this compact represents nearly half of all Audis sold in the U.S.The 2009 A4...

While BMW has proven that rear-wheel-drive c-segment size luxury works, with its 1 Series, Lincoln is turning next to the 2011 Ford Focus' platform for post-global warming luxury. To prepare us for a CAFE-friendly world, Lincoln rolled out the C concept for c-segment, and so far, without an "MK" prefix at Detroit.Looking much like a Renault with Lincoln's "flying wing" '41 Continental retro...

Even though I'm far from the only motor journalist to have gushed over the star of the North American International Auto Show, General Motors' brass hasn't given a production version the green light. To refresh your memory, the Converj is a sexy 2+2 coupe riding on a version of the Chevrolet Volt's Voltec platform, powered by a 16 kW set of lithium-ion batteries with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine for recharging purposes only.
