Chevrolet’s Cruze is by all means, a people’s car. GM is stressing out that point by bringing Americans something most manufacturers have been rather reluctant up until this year. With BMW testing the waters of diesel in the U.S, we saw Mercedes quick to follow up on the 2012 M Class, but apart from these
The Audi A1 is nice to be seen in and all that. Happily though, the Ingolstadt based Germans have kind of brought back the idea of what a small car is all about. Style is nice, luxury is even better but Audi is now offering their A1 with the added bonus of exemplary fuel economy,
One of Mazda’s most fruitful products got a major update recently and today was its official unveiling date. Dubbed as a facelift, it would seem like not much has changed. More patient eyes however will have taken a proper look at the new spec sheet and noticed the new engine that is available in it
The Blue Oval’s best and indeed, the world’s best selling car, the full size pickup that is the Ford F-150, recently hit a new milestone for the U.S. market. One such milestone is again related to sales, but not in the traditional mode one might expect that to be, actually it’s in pretty much the
Lamborghini has been considerably full of surprises lately so they decided to cool things off and refrain from announcing anything new for a while. While the Italians were putting away the plans and hints for a new “every day” model in the form of the Estoque and readying themselves for a vacation people elsewhere had
The Japanese at Lexus had quite the idea recently, in coming up with the CT200h they created a new project, one that marketing can really have fun with. You see, the Lexus CT200h is the Japanese company’s attempt at treating a totally new sort of take on the ever popular nowadays, hybrid vehicle. Even though
The Japanese at Subaru can’t really complain about the Impreza paying off its development effort, but they do have the right frame of mind. With the 2012 Subaru Impreza just around the corner, rumor is going round about how the company expects the sales increase to be quite substantial.
It took the status of a market leader, some of the most aggressive pickup truck marketing out there and an actually damn good car to do it but it’s done. Americans are finally starting to accept smaller engines and turbocharging and this is all thanks to the EcoBoost powered Ford F-150.
I know people would genuinely point laser aiming guns at my point for saying this but it seems like the Chevrolet Corvette is truly related to the Honda CR-V. Hoping there will be a lot of misses, I’m going to carry on writing this piece and even justify why the mild facelift we’re getting for
Until Honda get to the point of becoming a fan hotbed after creating the new NSX, the Japanese brand will keep on being… predictable, boring and generally bland. This is why a few rumors have been getting really widely adopted, all of them focusing around the new version of the Honda CR-V CUV.
The model year rush is really going over our heads and it seems like in a world where delays keep coming around, the Koreans are beating everybody to the punch. In this situation, the 2012 Hyundai Veloster, a car that’s relatively new since it just had a debut a few months ago in Detroit, is
There are so many things to be watched for in the automotive industry it can be very easy to overlook things that keep car makers alive. “Bread and butter” cars like the Chevrolet Malibu are so well integrated into the landscape we barely pay attention to them and that’s unfair.
It seems like the Fiat connection at Chrysler is starting to show more and more, especially in what Jeep has just announced. The iconic American off-road company just let us know that within the company there’s a genuine interest in offering diesel engines in the U.S.
Nearly everywhere you go in the automotive business you’ll get to see downsizing of engines, mostly for economical and ecological concerns. This reaches out even to the business sector and worse still (in their imagination) to the Americans, as Audi will now demonstrate.
Chrysler took some flak for ruining the Dodge Charger name in stamping it onto a sedan but since then people have sort of taken a liking to it. The 2012 version of the Dodge Charger may bring back the hate, especially when General Lee enthusiasts find out what engine will be powering the new one.
In building their empire, the Koreans didn’t move technology further but rather improve on the currently available stuff and sell it at a much lower price. Once they managed to get to a higher place on the automotive ladder, Hyundai came up wit the Blue 2 Fuel Cell Concept in order to prove that they
Porsche made good on their promise for making an S version of the Porsche Panamera Turbo by the end of the week and here we are with the details on it. While we do know the big stuff, especially the situation about the new power output figures of the twin-turbocharged 4.8 liter V8 but the
General Motors came forward with a bit of a surprise just before one of the least interesting motor shows around, the Bangkok International one. The surprise came in an early release of one of GM’s showcars over there, namely the Chevrolet Colorado pickup.
The Germans are not pleased. They had been criticized for not bringing their latest set of efficient engines to the United States. As a reply to these accusations, Mercedes-Benz announced why it’s latest cutting-edge lean-burn technology isn’t available in the U.S.
At something blatantly uninteresting that’s called the Toronto International Auto Show, Mazda revealed their 2012 version of the 3 sedan which gets some facelift-like minor changes and some new engine technology. Since the styling tweaks are pretty difficult to spot the Canadians got the first real life look at the Skyactive-G engine.
