When Oprah announced she’d be giving away several of the new 2013 Volkswagen Beetle most of us thought it would be yet another girly machine. Upon its unveiling, the newest version of the Beetle didn’t seem to create any preference based on gender. With a bit of research, it turns out that the new Beetle
Subaru just doesn’t get enough of sharing the Impreza chassis love throughout the entire lineup of cars they make. Judging by the latest announcement the Japanese car maker has made, that’s not about to change anytime soon, or at least not by the time the New York Auto Show. Next month’s American show will see
In their fight to catch up to the German luxury car makers the Americans at Cadillac will be using the new 2013 XTS sedan as one of the most important building blocks. Given what they’ve been announcing lately about this new car, it seems that on the space thing they’ve got all the bases covered.
Chevrolet’s Malibu hasn’t really had that long a period on sale but the American company is gearing up to introduce a brand new version. The large sedan isn’t getting a new trim level or a new facelift, it’s actually getting a new powerplant. Allegedly it’s one that’s in tune with the times. The 2013 Chevrolet
As the new Volvo V40 keeps haunting the internet here and there, a few extra shots of its interior have turned up online. The 2013 Volvo V40 is one of the smallest cars that you’d actually call a practical proposition. Taking a proper look at the interior is therefore crucial. Sadly, those shots have been
The Koreans at Kia plan to reveal their 2013 version of the Cee’d hatchback at next month’s Geneva Motor Show but in the meantime, they’ve given us a taster of what it’s like. Even though we’re still dealing with a hatchback, even though it’s about the same size as before, the 2013 Kia Cee’d looks
Next year’s version of the Lexus RX crossover has just been leaked in a brochure of the Japanese market that was later on intercepted by the guys over at Carscoop. The leaked brochure boasts pretty much no usable information on technologies employed, specs, performance and so on but, thankfully, serves up decent details on the
Nissan is going to enter some of their GT-R racers in next year’s season of the Australian V8 Supercar series. The announcement means more than what first glances show. Those of you with decent memories will remember that in the early 90s Nissan entered the Australian touring car championship with the GT-R’s predecessor to quite
The Japanese have made up their minds; the next version of the Mitsubishi Outlander is going to be unveiled at this March’s Geneva Motor Show. Before that happens though, they’ve given us a decent photo of it so we know what it would look like and part of a press release on what we’ll learn
Since the Germans introduced the newest edition of the 2013 Porsche Boxster roadster, there’s now a lot of interest in its more hardcore relative with a fixed roof. The guys at Porsche are still holding their Cayman cards pretty close to their chest so the only chance we have right now at seeing one is
Porsche makes very capable cars but they’re not perfect. There’s plenty of aspects they get a lot of stick for and the Panamera is certainly one of those models. Most of the negative attention of this situation is generated by the awful way the Porsche four door super sedan looks. It really is hard to
“Go CUV and fake off-roader products!” This is the current trend so we might as well roll with it and accept the situation without too much of a fuss. So why would I say that the Japanese giving us the details on their Mazda CX-5 is shouting? Well, because it is, after a period of
So what if the Detroit Motor Show is where everybody interested in cars is trying to be or reading about? When you’re Porsche, you can do better than that. And the Germans did, they’ve just unveiled, officially, what is the next member of the Boxster family. Wearing a 2013 modelyear plate, the new Boxster comes
Not everything unveiled or announced in Detroit is shocking, exciting or anything of the likes. That doesn’t mean it’s necessarily boring or worthless. Buick came forward with the 2013 Encore, a fresh crossover that seems a lot bigger than it really is. From some angles, you’d certainly confuse the new Encore with a bigger SUV
Cadillac has just thrown its bucket of water into the sea of BMW 3 Series fighters with their brand new 2013 ATS sport sedan. Destined to be a smaller relative to the wildly successful Cadillac CTS-V, the new model will get a full unveiling during the Detroit Motor Show’s glory days, scheduled for next week.
The Detroit Motor Show is seriously closing in on us and even though plenty of manufacturers have already partially unveiled or teased what they are going to be showcasing, it’s not enough for some people. Particularly for the sort of chap who’s a big fan of spy shots, unofficial releases and leaked materials that may
A new Ferrari is always a big deal so it’s no surprise to see how many people have expressed an interest in the followup model of the 599. It will be a while before we get any official stuff on it, a longer while before we get to see it and an even larger waiting
When the British at Bentley introduced their Continental GT back in 2003, a great part of its acclaim was in the 6.0 liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine. Critics raved about the enormous torque levels, the smooth power delivery and the feeling of infinite grunt that engine seemed to develop. For all the lovability of that enormous
