| All-New 2014 Corvette Stingray Fully Unveiled, Was it Worth the Wait? Posted: 13 Jan 2013 08:05 PM PST  America's most recognized sports car nameplate is welcoming the debut of its seventh member since it came into the world in 1953. The new Chevrolet Corvette is the third model in the series after the second (1963-1967) and third (used between 1969 and 1976) generation vehicles to wear the Stingray designation. It will receive its world premiere at the Detroit auto show on Monday, January 14, and go on sale in the fall. As with all Corvettes or any other sports car for that matter, the first thing you will notice is the exterior styling, which in the case of the C7, breaks many traditions like the round or rounded-square taillights found on all Corvette's since 1961, while keeping others. Another new feature worth noting is the presence of rear-quarter windows, which were last seen in the first generation coupe model. Many aspects of its design were previewed by the 2009 Stingray concept that appeared in the Transformers movies as Sidewipe.

| New Mercedes-Benz CLA Finally Breaks Cover, Goes on Sale this Fall Priced at Around $30k Posted: 13 Jan 2013 06:39 PM PST  You've probably already seen it before on more than one occasion, but this time, it is Mercedes-Benz that has released images and specs on its brand new entry in the executive compact sedan segment named the CLA. It is the less impressive- but still sexy-looking production version of last year's Concept Style Coupé (CSC) sports sedan that transfers the four-door coupe styling of the CLS into a smaller package with a similar footprint as the C-Class. The swoopy looking CLA will sit between the A-Class hatchback and the C-Class sedan, in terms of pricing, features and specifications, which means that it should start from around $30,000 in the States, with exact pricing to be announced closer to launch in September.

| 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Brings New Looks, Diesel Option and 8-Speed Auto Posted: 13 Jan 2013 03:28 PM PST  Good news for those of you who felt itchy about waiting until the Detroit auto show to open its doors to the press on Monday to learn about the 2014 Grand Cherokee, as a comprehensive image gallery along with the first info on the refreshed Jeep model were shared on the internet today. In its current form, the Grand Cherokee has only been in the market since summer of 2010 (as a 2011 model in North America) or about two and-a-half years, yet the facelift brings notable changes to the mid-size model beginning with its appearance.

| BMW 1-Series Nürburgring Racer Crashes, Goes up in the Air Posted: 13 Jan 2013 02:49 PM PST  In recent years, the widespread availability of affordable, on-board cameras, have offered us a first person view of many accidents that take place at the Nürburgring racetrack each year during public sessions. One such mishap on the 'Ring involving a BMW 1-Series hatch (we can't make out the model from the clip) was recorded on film by the camera of a car that was following from behind. In the footage, we see the 1-Series first chasing and then overtaking a BMW 6-Series Coupe before the driver loses control of the hatch, which spins and smashes into the protective barrier, sending it into the air.

| Actor Danny Glover Joins Activists in Protesting Against Nissan at the Detroit Show Posted: 13 Jan 2013 01:15 PM PST  He might be 66 years old but, apparently, he ain't "too old for this s**t". Actor Danny Glover will join community leaders from the state of Mississippi who will come to Detroit on Monday, January 14, the opening press day at the 2013 North American International Auto Show, to protest against Nissan. The actor, who is also an activist since attending university, and the rest of the protesters are renouncing the Japanese carmaker's treatment of its workers at its Canton Vehicle Assembly plant as "unfair".

| Hip Driver Showing Off his "Sporty" Lexus Crashes into a Juke… Posted: 13 Jan 2013 12:13 PM PST  We'll need the help of our bilingual readers to translate what is being said in the featured video, which we're told was shot in Russia, but we do know that a) the car is a Lexus and b) the hipster behind the wheel utters the words "sport" and shortly after, "stop, stop, stop". Our guess is that the young man in the driver's seat was demonstrating his ride's acceleration capabilities to one of his friends, and at the same time, his own inability to judge when and where one should speed on the road.

| Peter Schreyer Appointed President of both Hyundai and Kia Design Centers Posted: 13 Jan 2013 09:00 AM PST  On January 2, the Hyundai Motor Group Chairman and CEO Mong-Koo Chung announced that "brand innovation based on quality" would be the world's fifth largest automotive group's new direction. A few days earlier, on December 28, Kia design chief Peter Schreyer was the first non-Korean to be appointed President of the brand – a remarkable achievement for the 60-year old German and an acknowledgement of his contribution in the carmaker's success since joining Kia in 2006.

| Another Photo of the New Mercedes-Benz CLA Lands on the Web Posted: 13 Jan 2013 07:53 AM PST  There's another internet sighting of Mercedes-Benz's worst kept secret of the year, the new CLA compact "four-door coupe", again of the regular model in AMG trim guise. In addition to the leaked image, Mercedes-Benz itself released a teaser photo of the CLA during filming for its first TV spot that that will debut during the fourth quarter of the year's biggest night in U.S. television advertising, the Super Bowl XLVII on February 3.

| NAIAS 2013: Honda's New Urban SUV Concept Previews Jazz-Based Model Posted: 13 Jan 2013 07:21 AM PST  The first official pictures of Honda's new Detroit auto show-bound Urban SUV concept hit the web today showing the Japanese carmaker's study from two different angles. Honda hasn't released a lot of information on the Urban Concept other than saying that it is "a global concept model combining a sporty and dynamic SUV profile with a spacious, functional interior."

| MKC Concept is Lincoln’s Entry in the Compact Crossover Segment [Photos & Video] Posted: 13 Jan 2013 06:45 AM PST  Last year, Lincoln sales fell by 4 percent to 82,150 units in the U.S. despite the market posting a 13 percent increase compared to 2011. It's obvious that Ford's luxury car brand has a lot of work to do to catch up with its competitors. The MKC Concept that will premiere at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit is part of that offensive that includes four all-new models aimed at the most popular segments in the next four years. The compact luxury crossover segment, which has grown by nearly 60 percent in 2012 and more than 200 percent in the last four years, is one of them and Lincoln will compete with the MKC.
