The crossover with a hybrid powertrain has exteriors designed to create an illusion of perpetual motion, much like the way water flows around the hull of a boat. The exterior creates the effect of a tall, premium urban vehicle. Interiors have a blue acrylic theme, the center stack and ambient lighting are blue as well. Fabric on the seats comes from recycled soda bottles. The hybrid powertrain combines a 2.4-l... Full article...

"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...

For hundreds of thousands of new vehicle buyers, small or midsize simply doesn't cut it. They need maximum everything--from space to haul up to eight people and all their gear to towing a party boat--the only choice is a large SUV.Around the turn of the century, large SUVs enjoyed large amounts of success in the marketplace, selling more than 1 million units annually. With $4.00/gallon gasoline not... 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...

Though the 2009 Insight is Honda's latest hybrid, it looks suspiciously like the Toyota Prius.It's not hard to understand why. The Prius has been a massive hit for Toyota in sales and image greenification. It's won car of the year awards in Japan, Europe, and North America, as well as our own COTY award back in 2004. It's the world's number-one-selling hybrid vehicle, but more important is who's bought them. Early... 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. 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...
