Porsche's offering these cool Fuchs throwback wheels (the same ones as on the Porsche 911 Sport Classic). Trouble is, they're a custom "tech" option, costing a whopping $6,000. High customer interest will likely lower prices, so don't despair yet. More »

In typical New York fashion, the Dodge Charger from "Fast Five" got the high-attention spot on the main floor of the New York Auto Show to flaunt its matte-black paint and automatic transmission. The more impressive movie car has to park its flamethrowers in the basement. More »

When we heard the Shelby GTS was coming we speculated as to whether it would be a gently modified V6 or GT Mustang. Turns out it's both. At just $9,950 on top of the price of a base Mustang it's the least expensive way to get a Shelby product short of buying a Shelby Lancer. More »
