 Top 10 Cars of the 2012 NY Auto Show |
|
Apr 10, 2012 - 3:52 PM - by AutoGuide.com

Over the past few years Lexus has been referred to as a Japanese Buick, with the number one reason being the ES front-drive luxury sedan a car that drew direct comparisons with the not-quite-Cadillac GM premium brand. To erase those comparos the new 2013 ES gets a more stylish exterior with a GS-themed front nose and a profile more like the flagship LS.
Swapping its Camry underpinnings for an Avalon platform it has, however, grown even more in size a notable Buick trait. Plus, to challenge the eAssist mild-hybrid LaCrosse, there's finally now an ES300h hybrid system getting 39 mpg average.

Top 10 Cars of the Geneva Motor Show |
|
Mar 13, 2012 - 2:31 PM - by AutoGuide.com
|
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.
Rather than a Continental GT styled swoopy looking crossover, Bentley's SUV concept is big, bold and brutish, taking styling from the brand's flagship Mulsanne, including a massive flat-fronted prow and some of the largest fog lights ever fitted to a vehicle.
Still, there's little doubt that it's excellently crafted and by all accounts appears near to production. Regardless of what it looks like, it's what it is that makes the EXP so important. If Bentley is to grow as a brand, especially in emerging markets, an SUV is what it needs.
Despite criticism, don't look for major changes to a production model. We overheard Bentley reps surveying numerous VIP guests about the car and all responded that they'd buy one right away.

Shock! Chevy Volt Wins European Car of the Year: 2012 Geneva Motor Show |
|
Mar 06, 2012 - 9:36 PM - by AutoGuide.com
|
Given that the Nissan Leaf was named European Car of the Year at the 81st annual Geneva Motor Show in 2011 and the buzz surrounding electric vehicles shows no signs of abating, it probably wasn't surprising that in 2012, the Chevy Volt and Opel/Vauxhall Ampera (it's European market derivative), garnered the annual ECOTY award this time around..
The accolade comes as GM continues to aggressively push the Chevrolet nameplate into Europe, while Opel, the company's established brand in the region, continues to struggle against volume competitors like Volkswagen and Ford, largely due to higher labor costs and limited access to markets outside heavily saturated Europe.
Although the Ampera is little more than a badge engineered version of the Volt, raising Opel's profile should at least help the brand in the short term. As to the future of GM's extended range electric car overall, in the US, sales have so far failed to meet expectations, not helped by negative publicity involving battery fire and leakage investigations last year.

Top 10 Cars to See at the Chicago Auto Show |
|
Feb 10, 2012 - 7:58 PM - by AutoGuide.com

Whether you're heading to the Chicago Auto Show and want to know what to check out, or your trip is a bit more virtual, AutoGuide editors have compiled a list of the must-sees at this year's event.
Head into McCormick Place and hang a left. You can't miss the all-new 2012 Porsche 911. It might not be a world premiere, or even a North American debut, but the beautifully blue Carrera S is a piece of art. Four inches longer than the outgoing model it's more substantial and a much sleeker design.
Powered by a 400 hp 3.8-liter flat-six engine the Carrera S can hit 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds when paired with Porsche's PDK 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and the optional Sport Chrono Package. It'll also lap the Nurburgring as fast as the previous generation GT3!
