The Italians are a bit shaken up by the recent snow and very low temperatures that have hit the country but still have managed to release their latest F1 race car.

The British sure seem to be happy with re-heated soup when it comes to high end cars like the Aston Martin. We know how many times we’ve seen the DB9 worked over and over again and though you can’t really complain about how it ended up, it’s not a new car is it. Now the
With the 24 hours of Le Mans creeping up on us, manufacturers are starting to make claims about their cars and even unveil them. In the ambitious return segment for this year we find Toyota with their recently spotted 2012 Le Mans racer. Back then, a couple of photos were the only available, now we
For all the criticism that can come along side a new car, little of it has been as filled with hate as the one manifested as for the Toyota IQ. The small hatchback 3+1 is loaded with ingenius solutions for downsizing yet it doesn’t make any difference. The Toyota IQ has more haters than a
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
The first major event of the year, the Detroit Motor Show, keeps hitting us with all these unexpected releases and concepts that are actually impressive. A simple example would come from the Japanese at Toyota, who’ve recently taken the veil off the NS4, a new hybrid concept. Pinning certain strong words on the new concept
Since the unveiling took place at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show, the American nature of the show was obvious and isn’t something you’d want to overlook. The miniature car makers at Smart however may have gone a little overboard with a stereotype they’ve planted on the American market, the fact they love pickup trucks so
Though referring to the historic and now fashion icon of a Volkswagen, the Beetle as a bug is usually frowned upon, the Germans pulled a fast one on us. They’ve just unveiled a new concept at the Detroit Motor Show, it’s based on the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle and it’s called the E-Bugster. As you’d instantly
Cadillac has just thrown its bucket of water into the sea of BMW 3 Series fighters with their brand new 2013 ATS sport sedan.

Though not expected to be unveiled until the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the 2012 Dacia Lodgy MPV has been unveiled by the Romanian manufacturer. The Lodgy is a very important car for the Dacia brand since it is a premiere on many fronts and it signifies them targeting a new segment of the market. The
It’s really starting to smell like Christmas in the automotive industry and the latest company to sneak something under the tree is Lexus. The Japanese have just unveiled the Lexus LF-LC Concept and it’s something that makes you go “wow” when you take the wrapping off. A Lexus LF-LC Concept really is a good looking
Volkswagen, one of the leading advocates of diesel powerplants in order to achieve fuel economy will be coming to the Detroit Motor Show with two different ideas. The first of which will be a new, still rather shady and unfamiliar, electric concept. It’s supposed to be an electric-car that isn’t based on any current production
Ford Racing has just unveiled a new version of the Mustang, one that’s called the Boss 302SX concept. The Ford Mustang certainly isn’t familiar to failure, regardless of it being on the track or in real world so this model is a little weird. Not because Ford Racing created it and made it what it
With all the ongoing motor shows and events all around the world it’s quite the surprise to see the Americans at Jeep unveil a new concept at a rather private gathering. The location for the unveiling of a new off-roader concept seems even more unusual when you learn that it was the 2011 Paris Boat
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
Being the “third” version of the Subaru-Toyota alliance for the rear wheel drive sports coupe they’ve been pondering for a few years now, you’d think the Scion FR-S isn’t very important. That couldn’t be more wrong as the Scion FR-S version is going to have to shoulder the burden of being Scion’s sporty presence in
We may have gotten used to car makers churning out concept cars that look as close as possible to production versions but every now and then there’s fun to be had in an exception. In regard to the Tokyo Motor Show, that particularly weird looking concept will be the Toyota Fun-Vii, a car that’s inspired
Having been one of the stars of the 2011 automotive world, the 991 generation of the Porsche 911 has been the talk of everybody. 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
Audi isn’t exactly renown for making small, cheap (almost) cars, with a low number of door court but with the 2011 A1 they seem to have hit a home run. However it seems like a wave of practicality clearly hit the Ingolstadt based company for they needed to introduce the 2012 Audi A1 Sportback. It
