| POLL: Which One of These Newly Introduced Compact SUVs is THE Looker? Posted: 17 Nov 2011 07:00 PM PST  The 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show has turned out to be THE place to be if you are looking for the latest crop of compact SUVs as no less than three significant debuts took place in the City of Angels including two world premieres, the 2012 Honda CR-V and the 2013 Ford Escape, and one North America presentation, the Mazda CX-5. And since all three crossovers will compete against each other not only in North America, but around the world as well, we thought it would be good idea to run a poll to determine which is the best looking model. We'll brief you on all three before we give you the chance to cast your vote.

| Now It's Official: Audi Gives Birth to Five-Door A1 Sportback [66 Photos and Video] Posted: 17 Nov 2011 05:16 PM PST  After an unplanned leak earlier today, Audi finally got around to releasing official data along with more than sixty pictures and the first video of the A1 Sportback, which is more practical, five-door version of the German firm's premium supermini. The connection with its three-door sibling can be seen in the styling, though Audi's designers did manage to add 6mm in both width and height to improve interior space. The five-door model's length (3.95mm) and wheelbase of 2.47m are identical to the three-door version.

| Toyota Begins Production of New Generation 2012 Camry in Russia Posted: 17 Nov 2011 03:26 PM PST  While the Camry never managed to win European buyers, a little further to the east and in particular Russia and the surrounding countries, Toyota's mid-size sedan has successfully broken into the market.

| Sons Arrange for Their Dad to be Reunited with his 1965 Chevy Impala after 20 Years Posted: 17 Nov 2011 02:48 PM PST  Cars are unlike any other machines. Sure, they serve a utilitarian purpose but a lot people are emotionally attached to their cars – and rightly so as regardless of their class or price and unlike other products, they can create some very powerful emotions. Herb Younger is one of those people that love their cars. He owned a 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS and kept it until the 1980s, when he was forced to sell it to pay for his two sons' tuition which, naturally, was his top priority at the time. Herb didn't know it then but two decades later, his sons, Jared and Derek, would spent five years searching in several states with the Impala's VIN in hand, for their dad's old car. Read more »

| 2012 Honda CR-V: Live Photos from the LA Show plus New Videos Posted: 17 Nov 2011 01:51 PM PST  About four months after Honda confirmed that an all-new 2012 CR-V would go on sale in America this December, the next generation of the popular crossover model finally made its debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday. More than an evolution of the outgoing model than a revolution of the crossover theme, the new CR-V has been softly redesigned inside and out while it also sports a slightly more powerful and frugal version of Honda's 2.4-liter i-VTEC that produces 185-ponies and returns up to 31mpg (highway, FWD).

| UK PM David Cameron Opens New McLaren Production Center Posted: 17 Nov 2011 01:20 PM PST  Being one of Britain's most famous homegrown sports car manufacturers and motorsport brands, it's only fitting that UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, was invited to open McLaren's new production center. The new production center is another piece in the carefully constructed US$ 1 billion plan that Ron Dennis has devised for the transformation of McLaren Automotive in a fully-fledged car company.

| First Official Photos of New Audi A1 Sportback 5-Door Hatchback Posted: 17 Nov 2011 12:42 PM PST  It was only a matter of time before Audi began expanding the range of its A1 premium supermini starting with a more practical five-door model - let's not forget that the German carmaker had teased the five-door body style with the 2008 Paris Motor Show A1 Sportback Concept. And now we can show it to you in production form for the very first time thanks to an unceremonious online unveiling, courtesy of Russian website Cars.ru.
The exterior styling is what you would expect it to be: an A1 with five doors – nothing special here other than that the Sportback will be available with contrasting roof colors. The same goes for the interior, the only difference being that it is now easier to access the rear seats. Read more »

| Video: In Russia, the Ice Drives You Posted: 17 Nov 2011 11:53 AM PST  Things can get pretty ugly very quickly in certain parts of Russia once the winter weather sets in. But while most motorists were having a really rough time dealing with the extremely slippery conditions on the roads of Vladivostok, bystanders equipped with cameras were having a blast at their expense. You can see what we mean for yourself in the videos after the jump. Read more »

| Wow Video: Amazing Driving Skills from Super 7 Driver Posted: 17 Nov 2011 10:21 AM PST  The Seven, be that the original Lotus model or one of its many clones produced throughout the years, may be extremely light and nimble, but it also packs mighty punch and can easily turn around and bite you just when you're least expecting it -a fact that makes this driver's skills all the more impressive. This five-year old video was said to have been shot during the Hagley and District Light Car Club's annual international autotest event in England, with some claiming that the Super Seven seen here is a Locost and not a Caterham model. Whatever the brand, you have to admit that the man behind the wheel of the Seven, Christopher Evans, is one very talented driver. Watch the video for yourself right after the break. Read more »

| Bentley Launches Redesigned Continental GTC in Los Angeles, Priced from $212,800 Posted: 17 Nov 2011 09:33 AM PST  As Bentley is on track for a new annual record of 7,000 sales, the U.S. continues to be the number one market for its open top models, accounting for almost half of Bentley convertible worldwide sales. And in the whole of the U.S., California and more specifically its southern part, is the place to go if you want to see a convertible Bentley. Therefore it makes perfect sense to choose the LA Auto Show for the new Continental GTC's North American debut. Read more »

| Nissan's 480HP Juke-R Study Finally Fully Revealed in Photos and Videos Posted: 17 Nov 2011 09:00 AM PST  It's been far too long in the making –let alone the endless teasing- but here it is in the flesh: Nissan's outrageous Juke-R project car that blends the eccentrically styled body of its small crossover with the proven mechanical hardware of the almighty GT-R sports car. The result is a vehicle that defies logic and proves once again that Nissan has the guts and the will to experiment with crazy ideas. And judging by the Murano Convertible, we wouldn't be one bit surprised if someone at Nissan gave the green light for a limited production version down the road.
The new images and videos give us our first detailed look at the Juke R. On the outside, Nissan's designers applied a matte black finish to the small crossover before adding a host of aero components, the styling of which was inspired of course by the GT-R. Read more »

| Jaguar C-X16 Production Concept Puts on a White Costume for the 2011 LA Auto Show Posted: 17 Nov 2011 08:00 AM PST  The captivating Jaguar C-X16 Production Concept continues its world tour after its premiere at the Frankfurt show in September at this week's 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show where it made its North American debut. You may have noticed that instead of the original gunmetal gray finish, the all-aluminium sports coupe shown in the City of Angels was redone in a Neutron White. But besides that, there are no other changes.
At the Los Angeles presentation, Jaguar's Global Brand Director, Adrian Hallmark said that the C-X16 represents the best of Jaguar and that it brought the car to the States to test the waters. Read more »

| Facelifted 2013 Volkswagen CC Makes its World Premiere at the LA Motor Show Posted: 17 Nov 2011 07:13 AM PST  What's in a name? Not much, according to William Shakespeare who in Romeo and Juliet, wrote, "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet". Apparently, Volkswagen does not feel the same way. That is why when the time came to freshen up its four-year old Passat CC sports saloon, it chose to delete the "Passat" moniker from its name in order to signal its upmarket move and severe any ties with the mid-size family sedan. To reinforce its point, VW has made some changes to the styling of the 2013 CC that made its world debut this week at the LA Motor Show. Read more »

| LA Auto Show: 2013 Lincoln MKS Grows a…Bushier Mustache Posted: 17 Nov 2011 07:17 PM PST  For many years now, Ford has been trying to transform its Lincoln brand into a credible contender in the luxury car market, though unlike its Cadillac foe, it just can't seem to get it right. Set to make its world premiere later today at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show is the refreshed 2013 Lincoln MKS sedan. The first thing that you'll notice on the 2013MY is the reworked split front grille, though as Lincoln points out, every exterior surface from the A-pillar forward is new including the bumper, hood, headlamps and front fenders.
