"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...

Most of these cars provide plenty of power to go along with a supple ride, and in many cases, superb handling.Most cars in this class are 4-door sedans, but there are wagons available, as well as a...

No surprise, then, that it's Europe that will get a racier looking model first. Dubbed "R Line," the pumped-up Tiguan is primarily an appearance package, not really a full-blown performance model. In any case, the Tig benefits from a reworked front-end including a revised splitter and a matte chrome-finish grille... Full article...

A blessing in that it has seems to have transcended the usual automotive evolutionary process; a curse in that the car still, in many ways, defines the entire company. 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...

While the car garnered mostly positive reaction, it ultimately failed to make the production line. Two years later at the Tokyo Motor Show, another roadster concept, called the EcoRacer, was shown by Wolfsburg, once again stirring hopes that VW would eventually build a fuel efficient and agile sports car for the masses.Now comes the Concept BlueSport, and...

Then the most dismal financial crisis since the Great Depression brought down sales of virtually everything else, from pickups to Priuses to iPods.Amid the mayhem, General Motors delayed the production CTS coupe to at least summer 2010, three years into the life cycle of the sedan on which it is based. Meanwhile, President Obama says he's willing to grant California a waiver on... 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...

To a modern Japanese car manufacturer like Mazda, it's an equally dramatic precursor--albeit to different kind of confrontation. Although still cloaked in a mantle of high concept, this revolutionary sport coupe lays some very real groundwork for the look and feel of a future that could be here sooner than you think.Prime...

Motor Trend recently had the chance to take the Hakaze for a quick spin in advance of its Geneva Motor Show world debut.And if it gets the public reaction it deserves at Geneva, Mazda insiders expect the firm will put something not too dissimilar into production in about three years' time.The brief for Hakaze originally came from Mazda's European HQ. As in the US, big heavy SUVs are losing favor, but there... Full article... Article added: 2009-04-08 05:52:45 Article Views Rating: 342 |
