It's a little known fact, but Mercedes's AMG division actually hates tires. Their entire mission is to ruin every single piece of rubber that gets applied to wheels. In order to help accomplish that mission the SL63 AMG now has 585 horsepower.

Without even making an electric car themselves, Lotus has inadvertently made quite a few over the years. First there was the Tesla Roadster. Then Chrysler had the Europa based Circuit EV. There was a Detroit Electric-branded Elise a few years back. And now Detroit Electric is attempting a comeback with a limited…

"The 2013 SRX illustrates the Cadillac philosophy of never leaving well enough alone," said Don Butler, vice president of marketing for GM's wreath and crest-festooned proto-luxury brand. We couldn't agree more. Because somehow they've managed to take the attractive Art & Science exterior design philosophy of the …

AMG's new, 5.5-liter bi-turbocharged V8 impressed us in the CLS63, even if it didn't snarl like the old 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated blaster. Today, the turbo trickled into the midfield, showing up in the E-Class. Better mileage, too, for more greenness.

Ford is delaying the release of fuel-economy numbers on the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid in order to trick us into writing about it twice. We're not fooled: It's essentially a badge-engineered Ford Fusion Hybrid, so it'll probably get 39 mpg combined.

The Playstation generation hearts them some GT-R, but they don't have jobs so they can't afford one. Solution: The 2011 Scion tC apes some of the fast Nissan's styling cues, but the rest is crappy Toyota parts.

The revised 2011 Scion tC will debut at the New York Auto Show along with a new, probably iQ-like subcompact model. This is allegedly a teaser for the new tC, but darned if we could see much new. [TheCollegeDriver]

The new-for-2011 Subaru Impreza WRX gets a 1.5 inch-wider track in front and the rear, and benefits from firmer rear subframe bushings directly from the STI. It's also got a newer, purdier mouth.

When the Hyundai Sonata Turbo and the Hyundai Sonata Greenwash Hybrid are unveiled at this month's New York Auto Show, Hyundai exclusively told Jalopnik they believe the two will cancel each other out. "No harm, no foul," we're told.

The 2011 Kia Optima will adopt the old American mantra of longer-lower-wider at its New York Auto Show debut. Also present? Some respectable, if derivative, styling; Pay no attention to the nicked Pontiac G8 fender vents.

Since the Hyundai Sonata's new this year, its platform-sibling, the Kia Optima, gets an update too. It's headed to the New York Auto Show, where auto journalists will undoubtedly use the Optima to opine about how quickly Kia's become noteworthy.

Wert hit CNBC's "On the Money" to choose the best values of the NY Auto Show and everyone here is as confused as Carmen Wong. Perhaps it's time for another edition of "Wert is Wrong."

Currently, there aren't plans to bring the executive-level Hyundai Equus super-sedan to the US, but Hyundai trotted one out to the New York Auto Show to judge the reaction to a $100K Korean car.

We already saw the Hyundai Nuvis Concept after spotting it in the buff at the New York Auto Show, but now we've got all the details on Hyundai's latest hybrid concept.

The Hyundai press event isn't until later today, but we spotted the Hyundai Nuvis Concept undergoing final prep before it's New York Auto Show debut. We're impressed by those serious gullwing doors.

Finished checking out day one of the 2009 New York Auto Show? What's on tap for today? We'll see a concept car from Hyundai, press conferences galore and oh yeah, the new Subaru Outback.

Apparently Acura didn't find AutoSpies posting a "reader-submitted" image of the Acura ZDX ahead of yesterday's unveil all that funny. As a result, New York Auto Show security tossed AutoSpies' Don Buffamanti from the show.
