Spy Video: F30 BMW 3 Series caught winter testing

The next BMW 3 Series, codenamed F30, was filmed at a gas station enduring some cold weather testing. Even in its psychedelic-swirl coating, the mule shows that the 5 Series' growth was no aberration -- the next 3 will be large. Watch for the man to emerge from the back seat in the video. Not long ago he wouldn't have even fit in a 3'er. That's not all der neue 3 takes from its larger sibling: the elevated hoodline and what appears to be a return to unfussy lines down the side are also noted. We've yet to see much in the way of tech ... Read more →

Take a Hyundai Genesis, put it in a giant taffy machine and give it a serious stretch out, add some details like a reshaped rear three-quarter and some Lexus LS exhaust tips, then call it the Hyundai Equus. Oh, and give it a price of 130,000,000 South Korean won (about $93,471 USD). That's about ...

This United Arab Emirates-registered gold-mirror-finish Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG was caught at the Bling on Wheels Show, otherwise known as the valet area at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai. While we have nothing untoward to say about someone who decks out his/her ride in any manner desired, we ...

Detroit 2009: Saab 9-5 Griffin Edition is an excuse to issue a press release 11 months ago on Autoblog

We really feel for the folks at Saab, and not just because we love the 9-5 SportCombi and that we pined for a Turbo 900 with the Aero package for what seemed like all of the '80s. Yet look ahead 20 years – specifically to the 2009 Detroit Auto Show – and all we have to get excited ...

Detroit 2009: Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S is a mouthful 11 months ago on Autoblog

Maserati says that its new Quattroporte Sport GT S "sets another milestone in terms of sportiness in the high performance luxury sedan segment," and it also appears to be trying to set a record for one car's syllable allotment. Suitable then that it takes more than just a couple of changes to ...

Detroit 2009: Jaguar XFR makes us purrrrr... really, really fast... [w/VIDEO] 11 months ago on Autoblog

The Jaguar XFR is a saber-toothed tiger of feline badness. The supercharged, direct-injection V8 is good for a jungle-canopy-shaking 510 horsepower – 125 hp up on the naturally aspirated V8 – and 0-to-60 bolt that takes but 4.7 seconds. Further up in the range, getting from 50 mph ...

Detroit 2009: Chrysler 200C Concept, what the Sebring should have been [w/VIDEO] 11 months ago on Autoblog

We were beginning to worry that the 300C was all Ralph Gilles had in him. But if the Chrysler 200C Concept is what Chrysler's styling star can bring to the hitherto dull banquet of Chrysler design, then he should have been placed in charge long ago. It is absolutely gorgeous - check out those ...

Next Hyundai Equus is one angry stallion 11 months ago on Autoblog

This is the sketch that follows an earlier rendering of the third generation Hyundai Equus, due in 2010. As far as sedans are concerned, it looks like Hyundai is moving toward the Aston Martin school of design -- make something everyone loves, and then make it a little different and give it ...

Chery to launch S16 "mini sedan" 11 months ago on Autoblog

The Chery S16 is called a sedan even though it only has two doors, a hatchback, what appears to be zero rear headroom, and is about 22 inches shorter than a Chevy Aveo. From the front, the styling conjures words like "bizarre" and "Picasso" and "flounder," but -- and perhaps it is the hour -- we ...

Spy Shots: Jaguar XF-R bares more teeth 11 months ago on Autoblog

The Jaguar XF-R has doffed a little more of its mask, and now we can clearly see the copious amounts of black mesh that will fill in the front air dam's side vents, replacing the aluminum strips there now. Otherwise, and as usual, you'll need to know your Jags in order to tell this R apart from its ...

From the first lozenge-shaped A8 that hit American shores in 1997, Audi's flagship sedan has slowly been asserting itself more and more. The current A8 W12 is almost always given credit for its beautiful-yet-subtle design and a glorious interior. American buyers, however, haven't thrown money at it ...

Report: BMW finally green-lights 5-Series "Progressive Activity Sedan" 11 months ago on Autoblog

Call it V5, 5-Series GT, 5-Series Fastback, Progressive Activity Sedan... call it what you will. Whatever moniker you give it, BMW has evidently crossed the Rubicon and there's no turning back.

Spy Shots: Next-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS 12 months ago on Autoblog

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS is undergoing testing, and as is true with so many segment-defining vehicles, there doesn't look to be much of a change going on up top. However, down below, in the area covered by cladding, we will probably see some noticeable tweaks and refinements as the original ...

Porsche Panamera interior caught in color 12 months ago on Autoblog

Someone has scanned a photo of what looks to be a production-level Panamera interior. The fact that it's dressed up in brown leather probably will probably be lipstick on a warthog for those who revile it in pre-production form. Of course the number of buttons has been a major item of discussion, ...

Chinese automaker to build sedan on Saleen platform? 12 months ago on Autoblog

On one hand, Steve Saleen has two Challengers due out under his SMS brand. On the other, he's got the slightly tangled mess of CHAMCO, it's Chinese partner Zhongxing Auto, and their joint U.S. venture, ZX Auto North America International. Earlier this year, Steve was meant to be helping CHAMCO ...

Spy Shots: 2010 Mercedes S-Class 1 year ago on Autoblog

The current Mercedes S-Class is getting the nip/tuck treatment, and when the newer, younger looking car arrives in mid-2009 -- as a 2010 model -- it will come with an Audi-esque band of LED daytime running lights below the headlamps, and a Porsche-esque band of LEDs in the lower front fascia. Out ...

SEMA Preview: RIDES Hyundai Genesis wants to be techy's dream whip 1 year ago on Autoblog

Paris 2008: Previous Gen Audi A4 Seat Exeo 1 year ago on Autoblog

Paris 2008: Lamborghini Estoque LIVE 1 year ago on Autoblog

You've seen the whole Estoque shebang in Lamborghini's words, pictures, and videos. Let us add our own word to it: hmmm. It's a Lamborghini, so it's hard not to like it. And we hate to tread out the refrain, but it's much nicer in person. It feels, though, like they wanted to get this thing ...

Spy Shots: Porsche Panamera suddenly not so bad 1 year ago on Autoblog

We know when it happened, we just don't know why it happened. Autoblog reader Joshua Silverman sent in some cellphone pictures of a Panamera he drove by in Denver, Colorado. And all of a sudden -- like the Grinch's heart growing three sizes -- we liked it. Or at least, we got it. Just to make ...

Spy Shots: 2009 Mercedes E-Class 1 year ago on Autoblog

If you're Mercedes-Benz, then what you have here is a failure to keep your photo shoots under wraps.

With a minimal front end and a profile that ...

Spy Shots: Updated Bentley Arnage in Spain 1 year ago on Autoblog

The latest Bentley Arnage is doing the rounds in Spain, but it isn't the sedan's appearance that's news, it's how it might be powered.

Educated Guesstimation: Lamborghini bringing four-door super sedan to Paris 1 year ago on Autoblog

Spy Photos: Mazda3 sedan wearing skin-tight camo 1 year ago on Autoblog

When is camo not really camo? When it's black and white tape stuck to the body of the 2010 Mazda3 sedan. The new 3 was recently caught in the U.S. and the new front end is essentially a reworked version of the Mazda6's, with a grinning, two-piece grille split by an angular bumper. Notice the bulges ...

If the Panamera succeeds... perhaps the Bugatti EB112 will, too? 1 year ago on Autoblog

What if in an alternate universe Bugatti says, "We're not going out of business, we're doing a new model in the same market as the Veyron," but it doesn't know what that model will be? There's another luxury car company in the family called Porsche that's looking to get into the 4-door game. So ...

Rendered Speculation: Kia's big VG 1 year ago on Autoblog

So the Kia VG mule that has kept spy photographers busy the last few weeks has now been given a computer animated face and body.

Spy shots: RR4 wearing even less camouflage 1 year ago on Autoblog

The RR4 -- the Rolls-Royce that asks that you "don't call me 'baby'" -- is slowly undressing, striptease-like, before its final reveal at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.

New Saab 9-5 sketch is less quirky, more badass 1 year ago on Autoblog

A Saab owner attending the 2008 Saab Owner's Convention posted a recap of the events at Trollhattan Saab (which we thought was defunct, but if not, we're glad it's back). One of the most noteworthy events was something on which he barely commented: a sketch of the new 9-5. Saab has been threatening ...
