Spy Shots: Next-gen Volvo S60 caught completely uncovered 3 months ago on Autoblog

The gestation period for a new Volvo model has always been rather languid. Back in the 1950s, when tailfins were making annual progress toward low earth orbit, Volvo was cranking out PV444 and 544s. Those cars spent a good part of a decade looking like 1940s Fords, and so it's gone with Volvo's ...

Spy Shots: 2011 VW Jetta Sedan 3 months ago on Autoblog

After spending time with the Jetta sedan last year, we came away mostly impressed by its performance and looks.

Leaked Lexus brochure reveals updated LS sedan 4 months ago on Autoblog

To say that Lexus designs tend more toward the "evolutionary" than "revolutionary" would be like saying that Rasputin had a bit of a violent streak. Case in point: The new LS sedan, which the Toyota luxury division has apparently updated for next year in typical Lexus style. That is, ...

Spy Shots: Matte black Audi RS5 mule already looks the business 4 months ago on Autoblog

Extra flared fenders, furrowed-brow visage, and a sinister matte black paintjob, all accompanied by a V8 snarl. While it's a development prototype, the RS5 mule snapped during lucky-dog brake testing duty in the Alps strikes us as the perfect look for a topped-out Audi two-door built for high ...

Spy Shots: Facelifted 2010 Lexus ES350 caught in Japan 4 months ago on Autoblog

After years of sales dominance in the near luxury segment, the Lexus ES350 is beginning to see increased competition from the likes of – who woulda thunk it? – Lincoln and Buick. It doesn't help much that the styling of the ES is getting long in the tooth as, but new spy shots show that ...

Ferrari 458 Italia spotted in the flesh 4 months ago on Autoblog

A lightly-camo'ed Ferrari 458 Italia has been caught napping by the roadside, and from the looks of it, Ferrari doesn't appear to have pulled any tricks with its renderings: the car's a dead ringer for what was presented last week, right down to the seriously extended mirror stalks and that ...

Just when you were getting comfortable with Hyundai's $39,000 Genesis, the Korean automaker sprung the $50,000 Equus on you. Now, Hyundai has upped the stakes with the Equus VL500, a long wheel-base version of its Korean-market (and possibly U.S.-bound) flagship. The engine bay in the ...

Spy Shot? Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake revealed? 4 months ago on Autoblog

Yes, well, wouldn't this be something. We've heard rumors and innuendo concerning the supposed Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake. In many ways, a shooting brake (also properly spelled with a hyphen -- shooting-brake) is the perfect vehicle. Small and light like a sports car, but capable and ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Suzuki Swift... will we get it? 4 months ago on Autoblog

We've been hearing for quite some time that the subcompact Suzuki Swift could possibly make it Stateside, and while we think it probably should have made the trip about four years ago when the latest generation was first introduced, we'd still accept another fun-to-drive little hatchback with ...

Ay Dios Mio! 2011 Lincoln Mark LT spotted south of the border 4 months ago on Autoblog

The Lincoln Mark LT never really worked out according to plan. The thinking was that trucks and SUVs were so hot, all you had to do was rebadge 'em and then roll around in all the easy money. And while that worked wonders for Cadillac via the Las Vegas-a-riffic Escalade EXT, Lincolns with beds ...
