| Chrysler Boss asks if the 700C Concept Minivan is Stupid, Beautiful or Crazy [with Poll] Posted: 10 Jan 2012 08:25 PM PST  If it's attention that Chrysler wanted, it sure got what it asked for with the most secretive concept model of the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, the 700C minivan. And this despite the fact that the automaker didn't even issue a formal press release on its conceptual people carrier. But all for good reason as Chrysler brand global boss Saad Chehab explained in an interview with Australian news site Drive at the Cobo Center.

| 2013 Buick Encore is a Nissan Juke-Sized Small Crossover [Updated] Posted: 10 Jan 2012 04:44 PM PST  Car manufactures always try to devise new ways to get the most publicity out of launching a new product. Sending a press release and some images, or pulling the wraps off at a motor show, is simply not enough. For the all-new Buick Encore, GM chose to reveal pieces of a puzzle that completed an image of the vehicle. Yet, even though we could see most of it, the final piece that was missing fell into place today at the Detroit Auto Show. Read more »

| ...And this is the First Image of the 2013 Audi A3 Three-door Hatchback Posted: 10 Jan 2012 05:08 PM PST  Allow us to give a big hat tip to Carscoop reader "Fcorbs" who quickly noticed the digital rendering of the 2013 Audi A3 3-door hatchback in one of the photos of the upcoming compact model's interior released only moments ago by the German firm on the occasion of the CES in Las Vegas.
As viewed in this image, the exterior design of the third iteration of A3 hatchback keeps the basic body style of the current model adding a more distinct fascia with its key stylistic elements such as the six-point grille and headlamps borrowed directly from the RS3 sedan concept shown in Geneva last year.

| This is the All-New 2013 Audi A3's Interior Posted: 10 Jan 2012 03:27 PM PST  In a similar way that General Motors used the presentation of its new CUE infotainment system to reveal the dashboard of its Cadillac XTS back in October, Audi brought a cutaway of its upcoming 2013 A3's interior to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas to display its current technologies and future projects. We'll get to the technological features later on, but for now, let's concentrate on the design of the dashboard that will find its way on all body styles of the next A3 including the three door hatchback, five door Sportback, four-door sedan and two-door convertible models.
In addition, the lower console is positioned much higher than were used to in mainstream models like the A3. Read more »

The diesel-powered E300 BlueTEC Hybrid returns a fuel economy of 4.2 lt/100 km on the European combined cycle (54.6mpg US). Its powertrain combines a four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with an output of 204HP and 500 Nm (368.7 lb-ft) of torque with a 20 kW (27HP) and 184.3 lb-ft (250 Nm) electric motor, and features an auto stop/start system, regenerative braking, a pure electric mode and a "sailing" function.

| VW E-Bugster Study Zooms into the Detroit Auto Show Posted: 10 Jan 2012 11:14 AM PST  If you liked Volkswagen's approach with the new Beetle then chances are you're going to give a thumbs up to the E-Bugster study that made its world premiere at the Detroit Auto Show this week. Wider, lower and sportier looking that the regular Beetle, the concept's name blends the words "E" (for electric), "Bug" and "speedster". It's closest relative is the similarly styled Ragster study back from 2005. Read more »

| Color Me White (Inside): New Shiro Edition Tops Nissan Juke Range in Europe Posted: 10 Jan 2012 10:41 AM PST  To be honest, when we first heard the name of the Nissan Juke's new edition we thought it was a tribute to the brand's senior vice president and head of design, Shiro Nakamura, who has penned, among other models, the GT-R, the 350Z, the Murano and the Infiniti FX45. But we were wrong to think so. Shiro in Japanese means white, and that's the name Nissan though was appropriate for the Juke's new range topping version in Europe. Read more »

| U.S.-Bound Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid Makes World Premiere in Detroit Posted: 10 Jan 2012 10:03 AM PST  Seeing Volvo's president and CEO Stefan Jacoby driving the all-new XC60 Plug-in Hybrid Concept on stage during the car's launch in Detroit shows how important the U.S. market is to the (Chinese-owned) Swedish manufacturer. That's because the USA remains the brand's biggest market in the world and in which it recorded a 25 percent sales increase in 2011 on top of a 20 percent rise the previous year. The XC60 Plug-in Hybrid may be a concept, but Volvo is already openly talking about developing a production version and the impact it expects to have in North America. Read more »

| Infiniti Drops New Teaser and Video on its Geneva Show-Bound Electric Sports Car Concept Posted: 10 Jan 2012 06:51 AM PST  While all eyes remain on the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, Infiniti thought it would be a good idea to release the third teaser picture and a video of its yet-to-be named, range extended electric sports car concept ahead of its world premiere at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March.
