The Chicago Motor Show is a small affair, but even so, it can turn out to be quite the media shocker. The 2012 edition seems to be just that when you look into the highlights. This is where the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 was unveiled in convertible form and, like the coupe before it, it […]
There’s been considerable talk about the upcoming Volkswagen Golf’s seventh generation, its platform, its abilities so on and so forth but the current one isn’t about to go down easy. Plenty of reports have started flooding in about how the final shout out of the Mark VI Golf will be a GTI convertible the Germans […]
FAB Design is a Swiss tuner that was not very inspired in selecting a name for itself but, happily, is more inspired when ti comes to actually tuning cars. Their latest creation is a special makeover of the Mercedes E Class Convertible which implies a considerable amount of modifications, not all of which are easily […]
Though we’ve been waiting for it for several years, decades in some cases, the new Honda NSX isn’t exactly over enthusiastic about its rebirth. So far, we’re not getting any of the good stuff like confirmation, specs, release dates and so on but we’re now told something close to it. The upcoming Honda NSX supercar […]
A very interesting rumor has popped up regarding the 2012 Detroit Motor Show, the first major event to kick of the new year. It seems that the battle between Ford and GM will soon get even more exciting as Chevrolet’s already announced Camaro ZL1 convertible could face a Blue Oval menace at the show. This […]
There’s no doubt, if you’re a Ford enthusiast you love the Mustang. If you love the Mustang, no matter how many you’d love to have, you wouldn’t go without one of the originals. Particularly, the 1967 Ford Mustang, that is the daddy. The Blue Oval knows this, so in helping around those looking for some […]

The model was unveiled in Frankfurt and it featured some tasty specs, a brand new seven speed manual gearbox and plenty of new interesting stuff. As ever before, the newest 2012 […]
If the 2011 Jaguar XKR-S Coupe was often referred to as a trade-off between speed and all the British brand’s core values you’d expect to see them correct their mistakes, right? Well, as often the way with car makers, that didn’t happen. Instead, Jaguar decided they should get their money’s worth for the development costs […]
Wait, what? That’s right, while Chrysler isn’t behind this, come the SEMA show of 2011 we’ll get to see the first Jeep Wrangler with a powered roof. I wouldn’t go as far as to say this particular aftermarket mod makes the Jeep Wrangler a convertible but it seems like it’s not far off.
Volvo’s CEO, Stephan Jacoby has realized that even though his company has slumped out of the serious financial hardships it’s been under not that long ago, there are still some leaks. And it seems that leading the pack in the Swedish company’s problems is something we all refer to as the Volvo C70, the only […]
Starting this month, BMW’s 2012 6 Series offers something that has recently felt at home with most luxury buyers of today. To begin with, it’s the very important (suddenly) all wheel drive offering. Since the introduction of the new F12 BMW 6 Series, the Bavarians have been promising and it’s finally available. Along side the […]
Since the Frankfurt Motor Show is such a special event it only comes about only once every two years it had better present itself with some special cars. Few cars define a special feeling better than Bentley’s products and it seems that the 2012 Bentley Continental GTC they just unveiled is quite fitting of the […]
The Fiat-Chrysler alliance decided for a plan swap in regards to the market introduction of the Chrysler 200’s European market release. Instead of going for the full-setup the Italians decided to offer the cream of choices, a convertible called the Lancia Flavia, which is the open top version of the Chrysler 200. They’ll be releasing […]
If seeing custom built Jaguar convertibles isn’t to your liking, then perhaps seeing this is: the open top version of the British cat’s XKR-S. The XKR-S is the British company’s fastest and most expensive model, therefore a flagship. Adding the convertible effect to the mix can’t be wrong in any way shape or form. Some […]
There’s no way one can genuinely consider that the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport doesn’t have enough power. Not even Jeremy Clarkson. And yet, somehow, Bugatti still wants to make the Grand Sport, the fastest convertible around, that little bit faster. As part of the final goodbye from the Bugatti Veyron, the company announced that there’s […]
Fisker is a very interesting company. I mean it, given how the world works now with the acceptance of electrically powered vehicles, they decided to come up with something new that requires early adoption. Not sure about why they would do it but as it happens, we’re now told that they plan to unveil some […]
The Japanese seem to be full of surprises these days. After Mazda launched the 2012 CX-5 ahead of schedule, Lexus gave us another surprise just now. Toyota’s luxury arm decided to delay plans for their seven seater CUV but that doesn’t mean they will be slacking off for a few years to come. In return, […]
Bentley is the sort of company that can’t really update its products often so they need to be very careful about their presences at motor shows. This is why they won’t be unveiling the convertible version of the newly facelifted Continental GT until the upcoming 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. It all sounds pretty reasonable on […]
The last Bugatti Veyron may have been produced but that doesn’t mean the whole factory came to a dead stop. Even quite a reasonable distance away from the uber-car maker’s future model, in the form of the Galibier’s factory version, the Royale begins assembly, the Molsheim based company is very busy. Working with the one […]
It seems like Volkswagen Golf enthusiasts will not mind if the family that is the VAG Group turns up to showcase some new concepts at their Worthersee meet.
