I've watched MotorWeek — the finest car show on public television — since I was a little kid. Even though my daily MotorWeek Theater posts are a tad tongue-in-cheek, I'm actually a fan of the show.

Jason and I both walked past the Tesla stand yesterday and the same lightbulb went off above our heads: let's try and get in that trunk.

I am a Lexus hater. Much as I like the original LS400, everything else they make just seems so willfully bland, inoffensive, and characterless. And then there's this new 2014 IS, and…and I think I like it.

"Prototype" is the perfect word to describe the this MDX concept as it doesn't appear to look like any Acura, or really any car, we've ever seen before. From its dramatic use of headlights in the front of the car to the inclusion of LEDs — normally reserved for hi-tech electronics — to the glass enclosed cockpit…

If you woke up from a bender in Ford's press event this morning, you'd have seen a large scaffold full of buff men in construction outfits spraying showers of welding sparks and pounding large hammers into girders with rippling muscles glistening with sweat. And, based on this and the loud, blaring industrial music,…

As you know by now, I'm not really one to heap glowing praise on crossover SUVs. But even I have to admit that when they're done right, they can look as good as any car.

I really like the Chevy Volt. I really like the Cadillac ATS. I've tried to force them to mate on my own, but the results have been quite lackluster.

If it seems like we're talking about the new Corvette Stingray a lot, it's because we're talking about the new Corvette Stingray a lot. We haven't driven it so the specs are just numbers and the promise of great performance is just a guess.

Do not buy a Toyota Corolla. Do not let your loved ones buy a Toyota Corolla. I know you can't stop them. Something about a jelly bean with mediocre performance, outdated design, and crappy features is just too damn appealing to them but you must prevent it. Get them to buy a Mazda3 or a Ford Focus or a Hyundai Accent …

Tired of hearing about the new Corvette Stingray yet? Didn't think so. Major redesigns for the Corvette come so rarely you could have been born when the last one debuted and be allowed to legally drive today.

Today, I learned that Honda doesn't really think of its customers as people, but rather as car-purchasing robots with various different traits that they need to market to.

Chevrolet says the new, 2014 Corvette Stingray shares only two parts with the current model: the cabin air filter and the discarded Cialis packets on the floor. No, it's the roof latch.

Audi is going diesel crazy for the US, but surprisingly they yanked the trucker motor out of the planned SQ5 and stuck in a twin-turbo gas V6 instead. Are you heartbroken? We are.

Bentley sure isn't afraid of color lately. The new 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible was draped in a silky, vivid purple tarp right before its unveiling, the car on display was a rich, bold blue, and the video shown behind it was $200,000 worth of Fanta Grape-colored car. They're pretty bold,…

Here are all the people at the launch of the "ultra sporty," "exciting" Mini Paceman JCW who looked like they wanted to kill themselves.

Gran Turismo tends to be the first chance the commoners get to drive a highly anticipated new car. The Nissan GT-R appeared camouflaged in GT5 before anyone actually got to drive it on the street.

The new Dodge Dart is a great looking little Italo-American sedan, but it doesn't have much to offer the enthusiast. Hoping to remedy this, Dodge unveiled a new Dart model at the Detroit show today with a bit more power and a sportier suspension. It's called the Dart GT.

Audi just dropped the 2014 RS7 on us here at the Detroit Auto Show. I'm now trying to figure out how I can afford one.

Like many of its potential buyers, the E-Class has gotten a facelift. Most cars go through this sort of mid-life crisis refresh, and many would argue the old E-Class needed one particularly, with a somewhat fussy trapezoid-ish quad headlight setup and four more round driving lights below.

Volkswagen is a hulking automaton of a carmaker at this point. Want proof? They're showing off a seven seat SUV based on the same platform as the Golf. And they're making it a diesel-electric hybrid.
