Lotus has produced some fine convertibles in the past — the original Seven, both front-and rear-drive Elans, the Elise — so you'd think a quirky announcement alluding to a new open-top model would be welcome. It might have been if it wasn't from Dany Bahar's Lotus. More »

Our incessant clamoring for concept cars to become street legal and purchasable occasionally pays off. All the heavy panting for the Aston Marton V12 Zagato Concept has resulted in a production Aston Martin V12 Zagato. One question: did we piss it off somehow? More »

Pininfarina describes the Cambiano as a "luxury environment-friendly sport sedan" which likely means that it's a) going to be either a plug-in hybrid or full-electric b) it's going to have four doors and c) it's going to be super sexy. The Italian design house knows how to make a nice concept car. More »

Before the Lamborghini Countach, before the Lancia Stratos Zero, before the Pininfarina Modulo, there was this, the DAF 55 Siluro, a silver wedge with a 1.1-liter Renault engine and a stepless, fully automatic transmission.

I took this photo of an unpainted Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport and its 8-liter W16 engine at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show with my father’s old Minolta XD-7 camera on Kodak’s T-MAX P3200 film, a black and white negative developed for extreme low light. A contemporary motor show with its profusion of high-power spot lights is, of course, the antithesis of extreme low light, but combined with the T-MAX, I got an image which reminds me of those old black and white photos from Bugatti’s original, lightweight heyday. Of spindly blue magnesium cars racing under the Mediterranean sun, under a blue sky never captured on film. More »

You've already seen the other VW/Giugiaro collabo at Geneva, the Go! The Tex is less futuristic, but far more plausible as a next-wave design marker. Could this be the next Golf? It's as good a direction as any. More »

Giorgetto Giugiaro's pen is the reason the Mk1 Volkswagen Rabbit/Golf and Scirocco appear to have stopped time. This past May, VW bought the design house Giugiaro founded, Italdesign, and can now have anything Giugiaro it wants, including another 13-foot-long hatchback. More »

Professing admiration for the Juke requires a follow up of caveats like "it advances crossover style" and "not all cars should look the same." Renault's Captur concept approaches the same challenge as the Juke, but with a design requiring no qualifications. More »
