New Lotus Models In Jeopardy as Development Halted
It’s hard out there for a sports car manufacturer, especially if it is owned by a larger company. Lotus has been owned by the Malaysian car company Proton since 1995, when the company was bought from the then bankrupting Bugatti (which itself got eventually bought out by VW). Over the last 17-years, Lotus has not…

2012 Honda Jazz Si Limited Edition Isn’t Very Sports Injected
The Si trim moniker for various Honda models throughout its history has always symbolized increased performance. Short for “sport injected”, fans of the Civic body will remember generations of Si models as being the funnest to own and drive. Which is why it’s such a shame that the Honda Jazz Si that the Japanese automaker…

Two-Tone Rolls-Royce Ghost Makes Subtle Debut

2013 Koenigsegg Agera R Rich in Carbon Fiber: 2012 Geneva Auto Show
Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg makes really cool cars, there isn’t any arguing about it.

Peugeot 208 GTI, Reinterpreted for the 21st Century: 2012 Geneva Motor Show

BMW M 135i Concept is a Great Tease: 2012 Geneva Auto Show
BMW‘s 1M coupe was a hot shot of a car, but the company didn’t keep it up. Now we’re left looking forward to the hot hatch that may replace it — the M 135i. Bavaria’s own tiny tire-burner-to-be is based on the 135i and it’s formidable 3.0-liter inline six cylinder guilty of giving more than…
Top 10 Cars of the Geneva Motor Show
It certainly deserves a spot on the list of Top 10 Geneva Motor Show cars. Many would also agree it also deserves the last possible spot. And so here it is, the Bentley EXP 9 F concept.

AC 378 GT Zagato is Like a Modern Day Cobra: 2012 Geneva Auto Show
One of the most iconic sports car brands in the world has to be AC cars. After all, it was their Ace model that a young Texan by the name of Carroll Shelby took a liking to back in the early 1960’s, added more power (and bulges) to it, and hence gave birth to the…
2013 Ford B-Max is a Fiesta-Based Minivan: 2012 Geneva Motor Show
At Geneva, the focus (pun intended) was on its new B-MAX. Replacing the European Fusion (which like the B-MAX, was also Fiesta based and not to be confused with our mid-size sedan), this new MPV, which will go on sale in Europe late this year, reminds us very much of a downsized Mazda5.
Honda NSX Makes its European Debut: 2012 Geneva Motor Show
While America got to enjoy the global premiere of the new Acura NSX at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, the rest of the world will know it as the Honda NSX and the concept just made its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The Honda NSX Concept is essentially the same vehicle we saw…

Bentley EXP 9 F Concept Design Will be Revamped
An international auto show is a great opportunity for an automaker to introduce an all-new product to the public in order to gauge approval and reception.

Fiat-Volvo Partnership a New Possibility
