Spy Shots: Alfa Romeo Milano stopped by police by the Nurburgring

If you're looking at spy shots of a European hatchback and wondering, "Why should I care?", we'll tell you why. This car is, in all likelihood, coming to America. The test mule was snapped while stopped by local police, which isn't something you see every day. Oh, and it was near the Nurburgring, to boot. The car in question is the Alfa Romeo Milano, one of a handful of new models being developed by the Italian automaker with the North American market in mind. While the MiTo effectively replaced the three-door version of the aging Alfa 147, ... Read more →

Spy Shots: Next-gen Volvo S60 caught completely uncovered Dan Roth

Spy Shots: Facelifted 2010 Lexus ES350 caught in Japan 3 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 ...

Spy Shots: Replacement for Ferrari 612 Scaglietti could get a greener engine 8 months ago on Autoblog

There's been discussion recently of an updated 599 GTB Fiorano and a replacement for the F430, but the oldest Ferrari in the stable is the 612 Scaglietti. So it would stand to reason that Maranello would be planning to replace the controversial 2+2 flagship before its smaller siblings were updated, ...

Spy Shots: Face-lift Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano on its way? 8 months ago on Autoblog

Three years may not seem like a long time to keep a car on the market, but for an exotic automaker built on a Formula One team accustomed to replacing their racing machinery every season, 36 months must seem like an eternity. That could explaining why the 599 GTB Fiorano, introduced just a few flips ...

Spy Shots: Is this the next Porsche Cayenne? 8 months ago on Autoblog

Porsche's Cayenne is starting to show its age. With the arrival of the Panamera, it's no longer the most controversial looking vehicle in the company's product portfolio, though its road-scorching edge remains undiminished in turbo form. A new Cayenne is coming in gas, diesel, and hybrid flavors, ...

Spy Shots: Cadillac CTS-V Coupe spotted testing 9 months ago on Autoblog

"Blue skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face!" Why the singing? Despite the recent stoppage of further development on high performance vehicles, it looks like the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe might make it out of the barn before the doors are shut. While we would have settled for the uninterrupted ...

Spy Shots: Ford Focus C-Max caught testing 10 months ago on Autoblog

Ford is looking to bring over more C-segment crossovers from Europe to the US, and word has it that the people-hauling C-Max is toward the top of the list. The current C-Max would probably be sufficient for US duty in terms of size and performance, but with America's different legislative standards, ...

Spy Shots: 2010 Mazda3 interior snapped 1 year ago on Autoblog

Judging from exterior shots of the 2010 Mazda3 that were released last week, Mazda is looking to be more than a bit player in the small car market. The styling of the new Mazda3 looks more expensive than the current model, and is perhaps a better example of the brand's new design language than the ...

Spy Shots: Mitsubish Outlander getting Lancer face 1 year ago on Autoblog

Mitsubishi's new trapezoidal grille design is spreading throughout the lineup, and the Outlander looks to be the next vehicle that gets struck with the corporate underbite. At least now the Lancer won't be the only Mitsu wearing a grille cribbed from the '57 Chrysler 300. The new front fascia will ...

Spy Shots: Opel Astra caught 1 year ago on Autoblog

Ja, Bjorn, tink dat's de new Astra? Shoor looks like it, Jan. Lutz will be asking you to kiss this thing when it comes out from under that checkerboard camo.

Spy Shots: 2011 BMW X3 1 year ago on Autoblog

Boy howdy does that camouflage make it difficult to suss out what's underneath! BMW's cooking up a new X3, expected to drop in 2011, and the changes don't look to be huge. The smallest SAV – BMW's acronym for Stupid Ass Sports Activity Vehicle – will get rhinoplasty to bring some Concept ...

Spy Shots: Chevy Cobalt nose fully exposed 1 year ago on Autoblog

GM made big promises when the Cavalier was finally supplanted by the Cobalt. It was to be a departure, a break from the not-so-fondly-regarded J-Body to an all-new vehicle capable of competing head-on with the Civic. Yeah. Then it debuted and reality was "not so much." It's worlds better than the ...

Spy Shots: Chevy Beat caught testing in China 1 year ago on Autoblog

We saw the Chevy Beat concept unveiled a year ago, and now a camouflaged mule has been caught testing in China, fueling speculation that the Beat will succeed the Spark in that market. The Beat is certainly far less dowdy than the Spark, which is also sold, sometimes gratuitously, as the Matiz in ...

Spy Shots: 2009 Nissan Murano 2 years ago on Autoblog

We'll know for sure in a couple of weeks at the LA Auto Show when the 2009 Nissan Murano doffs the parka it's sporting here, but don't expect earth-shattering changes. It's not like the Murano is looking tired; its sharp looking design will keep it fresh even when it's trading on some beastly ...

Official Alfa Romeo Junior sketches surface 2 years ago on Autoblog

Germany's Auto Motor und Sport has unearthed sketches and renderings of the upcoming Alfa Junior. Yet another car they get over there, that we wish we could have over here. Automakers usually counter hatch lust with the party line that they're not popular in America, so we'll see what Alfa puts on ...

Spy Shots: 2008 Opel Vectra, now without camo! 2 years ago on Autoblog

The new 2008 Opel Vectra is obviously very close to introduction based on how many times it has been turning up at the far end of spy camera lenses lately.

Spy Shots: Ford Flex out and about 2 years ago on Autoblog

The Ford Flex is an important vehicle for ford, as it is basically the automaker's replacement for its dead (and not missed) minivans. Absent the Flex, which doesn't arrive until MY2009, the only 7-passenger vehicles the Oval offers are the fuel-thirsty Expedition, the slow-selling Explorer, and the ...

Spy Shots: 2008 Saab 9-3 shaping up with Aero X cues 2 years ago on Autoblog

Spy Shots: 2008 BMW 7-Series 2 years ago on Autoblog

The current BMW 7-series is undoubtedly one of the most polarizing designs out there. Its stubby shape and bustle trunk are in sharp contrast to the low-beltline, classically proportioned 7-series that preceeded it. The intrepid shutter-snappers at Priddy & Co. have caught a 2008 7-series ...

Spy Shots: 2009 Audi A8 2 years ago on Autoblog

At first glance, you'll hardly be able to tell a difference between the 2007 Audi A8 and the testing mule you're staring at here.
