"We've paid for our show stand," said Bentley engineering chief Ulrich Eichhorn as we sat in the back of a Continental Flying Spur to escape the heat and the noise of the first media day at Auto Shanghai 2009. All four Bentleys on display -- the Flying Spur, a Continental GT Speed and GTC Speed, and an Arnage -- had been sold to eager Chinese buyers by 2pm.A few minutes earlier, Rolls-Royce boss Tom Purves had announced the new "small" Rolls-Royce would be called the Ghost, and...

Porsche has attempted to break the mold numerous times over the past three decades -- remember the 928, and the 924/944/968? But until the Boxster -- a clever product development by former R&D chief Horst Marchart that delivered two cars the 996 edition 911 and the Boxster --... Full article...

In a recent comparison, we ranked the XF above its BMW, Benz and Lexus competitors. It was a serious contender for the 2009 Car of the Year. Despite the occasional niggle, we're enamored of the Jag sedan.Now, with the 2010 Jaguar XFR, the crew in Coventry has gone and made the XF even better. The hottest XF gets more power, but at no loss in fuel economy. It's... Full article...

That's where our story begins.Pontiac first teased the notion of a coupe version of its Solstice roadster concept at the Detroit auto show in 2002. Slow-forward seven years and it's finally here, in naturally aspirated and turbocharged, 260-horsepower GXP form. That original 2002 design study was a fixed roof hatchback, somewhat similar to a BMW {{{Z4}}} coupe. On its way to production... Full article...

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.
