Video: Latest Subaru WRX STI sedan gets new advert

Yes, the wing is back, and with it comes even more of the adrenal gland-kicking performance we know and love from the Subaru WRX STI. Fuji Heavy Industries will have you believe this is the fastest STI ever, and judging by the fact that the 2011 model weighs less and uses a revised suspension, they may be right. Sure, there's no extra horsepower on tap, but why add ponies when you can shed pounds? The company has released a new teaser for the four-door version (2011 will let you pick between the STI wagon and sedan), and we have to say ... Read more →

New York Auto Show crowds leading to violence in the streets? Chris Shunk

We get pretty excited about auto shows, and our recent trip to the Javits Center for the New York extravaganza was one of the better U.S. shows in recent memory. But while we managed to temper our ...

New York 2010: Random sights from the Big Apple Frank Filipponio

At many auto shows there are usually several hundred – if not thousand – images that we've taken that don't make it into our posts. Sometimes we categorize them and create several ...

Part Deux. Our men on the scene are now safely on their way back home as Day Two of the New York Auto Show has come to an end, and our obsessively compulsive ways were in full effect this year in the Big Apple. See for yourself: 24 brand new production vehicles were unveiled along with a ...

New York 2010: Five Axis mods the 2011 Scion tC 5 months ago on Autoblog

Yesterday, Scion revealed their brand spankin' new 2011 tC to the world's automotive press here at the New York Auto Show. We happen to think the car looks just fine, but will admit that for a youth oriented brand such as Scion, a little bit more aggression might have been nice. Meet the Five ...

New York 2010: Chrysler shows off new SafetyTec package for Town & Country 5 months ago on Autoblog

Although the Chrysler Group still has a rather large amount of floor space here at the 2010 New York Auto Show, the company didn't have a lot to offer this year...at least not just-baked stuff for the assembled media. Instead of showing off a new 300 or maybe even a 200C hybrid, they merely ...

Rumormill: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 to spawn Black Series 5 months ago on Autoblog

The gossipmongers at Autocar are reporting that the race-bred Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 that's getting its American debut at the New York Auto Show this week may be the foundation for a street-legal SLS AMG Black Series. We've heard rumors of a racier SLS for some time, but this is the first ...

New York 2010: Hero cars invade Gotham 5 months ago on Autoblog

Are these the ultimate performance cars? Maybe not in 0-60 or quarter mile times – although we wouldn't count a few of them out at the dragstrip – but in terms of actually being performers. Some of the random cars and trucks we found at this year's New York Auto Show are perhaps just ...

New York 2010: Mitsubishi hopes 2011 Outlander Sport will be their volume leader 5 months ago on Autoblog

Let's just go on ahead and make that much needed volume leader. The great economic collapse of 2009 smashed Mitsubishi in the teeth with a much larger brick than most other manufacturers. Thinks have slightly improved, but their February sales were still down 10 percent, and from an already ...

New York 2010: 2011 Kia Sorento SX offers more standard kit, added visual flare 5 months ago on Autoblog

Kia officially debuted the new SX trim level for the 2011 Sorento at this year's Atlanta Auto Show, but they also brought the dolled-up crossover to New York for a larger-scale unveiling. The Sorento is already off to a good start in the U.S. – it has already become Kia's top-selling ...

New York 2010: 2011 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is deeply impressive 5 months ago on Autoblog

We dig super sedans. You get 94 percent of the performance of a sports car (or there abouts) plus the ability to take a few friends along for the hair-raising ride. Also, cops don't seem to scrutinize big snazzy sleepers as much as they do bright yellow scissor-doored whatchamacall'em-ardos. It ...

New York 2010: Hyundai Equus debuts in U.S. production trim 5 months ago on Autoblog

Hyundai showed off its new Sonata Turbo and Sonata Hybrid yesterday at the New York Auto Show, two vehicles that should help keep the brand's mid-size sedan moving up the sales charts with a bullet. With March sales figures just trickling in, it looks like the Sonata is now the third ...

Lutz' last quote? Toyota won't get back "God-like status" 5 months ago on Autoblog

If there's one thing we'll miss when Bob Lutz finally packs up and heads out to pasture, it'll be the guy's role as General Motors' resident quote machine. Take this latest gem, for example. According to BusinessWeek, Lutz has been quoted as saying, "Toyota's God-like status will never be ...

New York 2010: Kia adds five-door hatch to Forte lineup 5 months ago on Autoblog

Since Americans seem to be finally latching onto the concept of the compact five-door hatchback, Kia is jumping into the fight with a new variant of the Forte.

2011 Kia Optima introduced with DI, turbo and hybrid 5 months ago on Autoblog

At the New York Auto Show today, Kia officially introduced its new 2011 Optima mid-size sedan and, as we expected, it shares much with the recently launched Hyundai Sonata. In spite of the same wheelbase and almost identical dimensions, however, this is no case of badge engineering. The Optima ...

2011 Hyundai Equus arrives to take on the big guns 5 months ago on Autoblog

When the first Hyundai Excels rolled onto American roads in the late-1980s, it was hard to image the Korean automaker getting taken seriously as a builder of budget cars. Taking on the likes of Mercedes-Benz and BMW would have been an absurd thought. And yet later this year that is exactly what ...

For the first time in three years, Subaru is offering up a four-door sedan version of their performance icon, the WRX STI. This is the first time that Subaru has ever offered an STI in two body styles. That's right, you can also buy the five-door STI. And while we love hot little performance ...

Hamsters FTW! Kia Soul ad wins top Nielsen Auto Ad award [w/video] 5 months ago on Autoblog

New York 2010: Second generation Volkswagen Touareg makes U.S. debut, Hybrid too 5 months ago on Autoblog

New York 2010: 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon is lovable, but somewhat underwhelming 5 months ago on Autoblog

There's quite a phenomenon at this year's New York Auto Show. Two – yes, two wagons have debuted. The first was the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon (our current pick for Best In Show, we might add), and the second is from Acura. The U.S.-market Acura TSX is the Honda Accord overseas, and the ...

New York 2010: Chevrolet Cruze RS ups the entry level ante 5 months ago on Autoblog

Here's the skinny: The Cruze RS is an appearance package for Chevy buyers who want a Cruze with a higher level of panache. That out of the way, the RS sports sexier front and rear fascias along with more aggressive rocker panels. Don't forget the pretty OK-looking fog lamps. There's a slick rear ...

New York 2010: Kia's 2011 Sportage comes to America 5 months ago on Autoblog

The original Kia Sportage was one of the vehicles that led the Korean automaker's initial charge into the American market. Those early SUVs (they were body-on-frame back then) were inexpensive and honest, but that's about the best thing you could say about them. After a near brush with ...

New York 2010: 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco is efficient, not a stripper 5 months ago on Autoblog

For the past week, we've been hearing all about the latest iteration of the Chevrolet Cruze, the 40-mpg Eco model. While the name is rather uninspired (Eco's the best they got?), the technology that allows the Cruze Eco to hit that lofty number is anything but. Here's the really interesting ...

New York 2010: 2011 Scion iQ is a little intriguing 5 months ago on Autoblog

Well, well, well – it looks like Toyota's iQ is coming to the U.S. after all, only it will be (as reported) sporting a Scion badge. Makes sense. Especially as according to Scion, the world's smallest four-seater is aimed squarely at a very young demographic. Not just young, but hip and ...

New York 2010: Scion reveals better looking, more powerful 2011 tC 5 months ago on Autoblog

The big reveal for Scion at the 2010 New York Auto Show is staring you square in the face. Meet the 2011 tC. Scion describes the car as defining "refined aggression." They called it, "masculine," too. Even though the new car borrows fairly heavily from the 2006 Fuse concept (not to mention the ...

Mazda6 diesel confirmed with hybrid-like 43 MPG 5 months ago on Autoblog

If there's one thing we're clamoring for here in the U.S., it's more diesel engines in passenger cars. Mazda will soon be answering our cries, as it plans to launch its all-new SKY-D powertrain in its "next-generation mid-sized car" (read: Mazda6) sometime in 2012. The big news about this ...

New York 2010: Hyundai Sonata Hybrid gets unique look and 37/39 MPG rating [w/video] [UPDATE] 5 months ago on Autoblog
