Top Ten Reveals of the 2008 LA Auto Show

Over last week's LA Auto Show, we saw plenty of new models throw their hats into the bloodied arena that is the current automotive market. So put on some R.E.M. and follow us on a jog down flashback lane as we relive all of the fond old memories we've fostered together this past week. Remember when the new Lexus RX came out and we all had a good laugh because of an explosion of vanilla? How about when a Mini E showed up with that totally hot Deputy Mayor? Man, those were the good old days. Hit the jump below before we start tearing up to catch the ten most popular reveals — as judged by your eyeballs — of the show. More »

2010 Ford Mustang Unveiled, Live!

The 2010 Ford Mustang's been revealed live at a private Ford event this evening in a hangar just outside of Los Angeles.

2010 Ford Mustang: Design, Dissected

The Mustang's not only the original pony car, it's the only one to continuously sell for all 44 of those years. With such an established history, and with the new Challenger and Camaro nipping at its tail, we were skeptical of a redesign we were told was more an "evolution" rather than "revolution." We'd also been told not to expect any seriously new powertrain options for the 2010 model year. Despite those nagging concerns, what we've found may surprise even us. More »
