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

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.

Just two days before the originally scheduled unveiling of the 2012 Mercedes ML 63 AMG the three pointed star got ahead of itself. While it did make a lot of sense to unveil the Chevy Spark before the Los Angeles Motor Show, there’s a good chance the AMG powered SUV would have made a killing.

The British at Land Rover have managed to prove, time and time again that they aren’t willing to listen to the outside world when it comes to coming up with a new model.

L.A. 2010: 40 years of development on the Mitsubishi i

A while back, Chevrolet tried to do away with the whole “Chevy” idea. That didn’t really go along very well but here’s Mitsubishi preparing this car for the U.S. and calling it the “i”. I find it just about as amusing as the “Chevy” situation because that’s the Mitsubishi i-MiEV with some vinyl covers added

Kia Optima Hybrid launched at the Los Angeles Motor Show

I will admit, as an automotive fan, I tend to knock off Korean cars as a breed but lately my beliefs have been put to some serious testing. This happens because the Koreans keep coming up with better and better products and the Kia Optima Hybrid is possibly one of the best.

The proper L.A. preview: The Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

Don’t get me wrong, just about anything we have on the Los Angeles Motor Show this year is more or less interesting but a convertible sort of suits more of the town. Actually not even the whole town but definitely a part of Los Angeles is well accustomed to open top motoring.
