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...

It beat out the Nissan GT-R, which we just crowned the 2009 Motor Trend Car of the Year. We'd better take it seriously then.Actually, we already did. In our recent preview of the vehicle, we explained how the iQ is one of a whole new generation of Toyota compacts that utilize six major packaging advantages. It will enable the company to build a seven-seater in the footprint of a Yaris.But to demonstrate just how remarkable these innovations are, they're... Full article...

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...

We do. There's a large cadre of performance enthusiasts out there who still haven't forgiven Ford for making that car go away. We wish we could tell you it's coming back, but not so -- at least on the current, revised-for-2008 Focus platform. In the meantime, the Blue Oval types are serving up a semi-sportier version that makes a fine base for your own SVT-inspired concoction.Save for a few badges, the 2009 Focus SES Coupe is...

Or Sideshow Bob, or for the kiddies, Corbin Bleu. Just thought I'd point that out. Any way, I had the chance to drive our beloved ForTwo home last night. But along the way, I had to pick up a deathly ill Magrath from the doctors we think it's ebola. Of course, when you're going to be sitting with Typhoid Gary for 25 minutes, being in the smallest enclosed space on wheels is just a fantastic idea. Had we been in the Flex, I would've made him sit in... 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...

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. We'll have more details in an... Full article... Article added: 2009-04-07 05:23:27 Article Views Rating: 412 |
