The latest auto car news written in the Jeremy Korzeniewski reports... Filed under: Concept Cars, Detroit Auto Show, Budget, Sedan, Hatchback, Chevrolet, GM 2012 Chevrolet Sonic Z Spec Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery General Motors seems intent on banishing all memories of the unloved Aveo - so much so that it's gone and renamed its entry-level fighter in the States. While we're still not 100-percent in love with the name (we can't get visions of spiky-haired hedgehogs out of our heads...), all three flavors of the Sonic do appear to be vastly improved over the machine they replace, though one ...

Car News (0)
The latest auto car news written in the Jeremy Korzeniewski reports... Filed under: Concept Cars, Detroit Auto Show, Coupe, Crossover, Mini Mini Paceman Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery Mini's model line is expanding at an exponential rate, and according to BMW's smallest division, the Paceman Concept will form the basis of its eighth production vehicle. Even if that's the case, nothing resembling the Paceman is going to beat either the Mini Coupe or Roadster to market, which are expected to hit dealers in late 2011 and 2012, respectively. What we have in the Paceman is basically a Countryman that's been relieved ...

Filed under: Detroit Auto Show, Convertible, Performance, BMW, Luxury 2012 BMW 650i Convertible - Click above for high-res image gallery In addition to the scorched orange 1 Series M Coupe at the BMW booth in Detroit was the new 2012 BMW 650i Convertible. Under the sharply creased (and rather long) hood lies a 400-horsepower, twin-turbocharged, direct injected V8 that manages to shove out 450 pound-feet of torque between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm. All that grunt will be sent to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. BMW claims ...

The latest auto car news written in the Jeremy Korzeniewski reports... Filed under: Detroit Auto Show, Coupe, Performance, BMW 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe - Click above for high-res image gallery BMW's latest introduction to the U.S. market bowed today at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, and it's a machine that's meant to light the true enthusiast's heart aflutter: the 2012 1 Series M Coupe. We must say, it looks rather striking in the metallic orange hue you see in our live photo gallery below. Even more importantly, the 340 horsepower put out by its 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine is said to "capture ...

Filed under: Detroit Auto Show, Motorsports, Coupe, Cadillac, GM, Racing Cadillac CTS-V SCCA Coupe Race Car - Click above for high-res image gallery General Motors is showing its CTS-V Coupe SCCA Race Car at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show today, and we dutifully pointed our camera lenses in its general direction. Naturally, it sits just a few millimeters off the ground, is painted up in an eye-catching paint scheme and covered in a serious set of ducts, flares and massive wings. Par for the course, really, but pretty glorious all the same. If ...

Report: BYD to unveil Lexus RX-influenced S6 hybrid in Detroit
Car News (0)
The latest auto car news written in the Jeremy Korzeniewski reports... Filed under: Detroit Auto Show, Hybrid, China, Crossover, Electric BYD S6 DM - Click above for high-res image gallery Whenever we hear that a Chinese automaker is working on a vehicle that's "influenced" by some other successful model from an established global company, we wince a little. After all, we've seen quite a few less-than-convincing attempts to go along with a few couldn't-tell-the-difference carbon copies. And neither of those options are acceptable. From what we can tell, BYD's S6 (shh - don't tell Audi) DM crossover could be considered a little of both. ...

And it's also officially the engine to get if you're shopping for a new Blue Oval workhorse. To put it all into perspective, the 365-horsepower, 420-pound-foot EcoBoost-equipped F-150 offers 3,060 pounds of payload and 11,300 pounds worth of towing capability - both of which are best-in-class - and ...

After all, how could you possibly not love a customized car that was inspired by Japan's Nintendo Famicon Gaming System and its eight bits of raw processing power? Awesome features abound, such as the doors that are ...

Quick Spin: 2011 Ford Edge EcoBoost After some seat time with the Edge EcoBoost and a quick shake of our automotive journalist-issued Magic 8-Ball, we can confidently say Outlook Good for this Blue Oval-badged mid-size crossover. 2012 Buick Verano is one part Cruze, one part Regal We're tempted to go ahead and call the 2012 Buick Verano a "baby Regal," because the truth is, the two cars are much more alike than you might think.
