We may take new cars for granted and often forget to appreciate the amount of development that goes into the stuff not easily available to the eye. General Motors decided to remind us about this situation by telling us just how much fine, tuning and testing went into the appearance of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.
America’s automotive industry has come a long way in recent history but as far as proper production sports cars are concerned, they’re not quite there yet. In helping around the industry and enthusiast flaming power, the 2013 Dodge Viper is expected to make quite the impact. Despite some expected softening down, added safety gimmicks and
After announcing the Honda NSX, the Japanese have yet another sporty surprise for the enthusiasts. They’ve just announced the confirmation of a new Civic Type-R. A new Civic Type-R isn’t actually that big a surprise, but given how Honda’s been dropping the ball a little lately, it wouldn’t have been unusual to see them discontinue
The hatchback daddy, the Golf, is not far from its major refresh and here we are, several months ahead of its unveiling with a few spyshots. The 2013 Volkswagen Golf was spied while testing on the open road and while the information available on the looks are poor, you should see what’s going on under
The 2013 Dodge Viper has been in development for quite some time now and, as you’d imagine, plenty of things about it are going to change. Not only will it be getting a larger engine, a set of better looks, it has already missed out on an early unveil. The Los Angeles Auto Show saw
As one of Volkswagen’s leading efforts towards playing with the big boys of the premium segment the CC version of their Passat saloon has been off to quite the start. Unfortunately, that start took place well over three years ago so the Germans have given it a facelift, one they unveiled at the Los Angeles
Though the Mazda CX-5 has been seen before in both concept and production form, the Los Angeles Motor Show gave us the first hand look at what a U.S. spec version will look like. Almost predictably, the styling is pretty much identical to the one of the European and Japanese versions, what really changed is
With the final moments before the 2011 Los Angeles Motor Show drawing to an end, the Americans are feisty for attention. Chevrolet may have grabbed a few headlines with their very powerful, very striking, 184 mile per hour Camaro ZL1 but then Ford came along and moved the goal posts. The 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby
Probably sensing that of all the new cars and trucks to be unveiled at the Los Angeles Motor Show, the Chevrolet Spark won’t stand out, GM unveiled it just days away before the event. Being the final piece of the jigsaw towards General Motors covering every bit of the market, the 2013 Chevrolet Spark is
Next year’s version of the awesome Hyundai Genesis Coupe has finally dropped the sheets off itself and shown off for us on all fields. Not only is the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe a better looker than it used to be, it also comes with a better looking interior and a refreshed engine range. As far
Marketing is beautiful, it almost brainwashes the audience when done brilliantly to a point where they will want the product so bad they’d walk on hot coal to get it. Sometimes however, marketing works in a different way, as GM did with the 2013 Cadillac XTS. They didn’t exactly unveil it, but rather leak it
The Blue Oval may have had a few momentous moments in car design over the years but for the most part, its products have been rather sensibly styled with practicality in mind. When they tried to break that pattern it generally went well, the notable exception being the Ford Flex, a car which never really
Nissan’s GT-R is a seriously capable bit of machinery and while there’s plenty to thank for this achievement, at the core of the success it’s refinement and technology. That’s exactly what the Japanese have improved upon in coming up with the brand new version, the 2013 Nissan GT-R, the one they’ve recently unveiled. As we’ve
Sometime next year, we’ll be seeing a new flagship Mercedes SL make its first public appearance but until then we’re going to have to be content with some spyshots. In seeing the half full side of the story, the new 2013 Mercedes SL is at least lightly camouflaged in this batch and it does make
Though the 2013 Viper early reveal rumor turned out to be fake, there is some news about the new Dodge supercar that’s bound to raise the spirits of enthusiasts sky high. In a time when just about every manufacturer shies away from any sort of large capacity engine and instead opts for force fed smaller
Though expected at the upcoming SEMA show in Las Vegas, the Japanese have given us a bit of a surprise with an early unveiling. It is the unveiling of the 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport, the company’s mid-sized sedan now gets a bit of life breathed into it. Like some of the rivals M
People, are you ready for another mid sized sedan from teh Japanese at Mazda? Just in case you’re not sure, I’m afraid you don’t have that much time left. Come the next Tokyo Motor Show we’re going to see a new concept unveiled, one called the Mazda Takeri and apart from it being that exact
Nissan didn’t get anything out of the immense full-size pickup segment of the U.S. market as their offering, the Titan, turned out to be much of a flop. Despite this, Nissan’s chairman, Mr Colin Dodge (not ironic at all) says that the Japanese company is going to take it slow and build up their entry.
I’m a big fan of the Ford Mondeo, in fact, I like it so much i can’t help but shift an eyebrow when the Blue Oval comes up with a new one. They never made it worse, not once in the history of the Ford Mondeo has there ever been a successor that wasn’t a
