| Lightly Restyled 2013 Citroen C3 Hatch Heads to Geneva Motor Show Posted: 21 Feb 2013 05:51 PM PST  The Geneva motor show will mark the world debut of the restyled C3, if you believe Citroën, or European debut if you take into consideration the updated C3 presented in Brazil last summer. On the outside, the European C3 gains the same suit of cosmetic upgrades as the Brazilian model including a new fascia with a double chevron grille and bumper-mounted LED daytime running lights, plus new tail light clusters combined with new reflectors set underneath the rear bumper. An available new Ink blue body paint completes the exterior revisions. Read more »       |
| Poll: Should Chevrolet Supercharge the SS with a ZL1 Edition? Posted: 21 Feb 2013 04:53 PM PST  When Josh and I were exchanging thoughts about our 'Future Car' rendering of the 2014 Chevrolet SS last December, we decided to go with a ZL1-like version instead of the regular model, which we both saw as a potential addition to the range. Once again, Josh performed his magic and correctly predicted the shape and styling details of the base SS and therefore, the Holden Commodore SS V as well, decorating the end result with all those special features one expects from a Z series Chevy, including a ground effects kit, different bumper, honeycomb grille inserts and a bulging hood scoop – just like on the Camaro ZL1 and Corvette ZR1.

| Poster Boys: Lamborghini Countach 25th Ann. Vs. Ferrari 512TR Posted: 21 Feb 2013 04:07 PM PST  If your life-o-meter is currently pointing to numbers in the 30s or 40s, it is very likely that at some point, you had a poster of a Lamborghini Countach and/or its rival from Maranello, the Ferrari Testarossa, hanging on your bedroom wall, as these were the supercars of their time.

| Canada Won't be Getting the 2014 Chevrolet SS After All Posted: 21 Feb 2013 03:08 PM PST  After taking the decision to transfer production of the next generation Chevrolet Camaro back to the good ol' USA, General Motors is striking another blow to our friends up North as the automaker confirmed that it will not be offering the new 2014 Chevrolet SS performance sedan in Canada.

| Plastic is Fantastic: Sarah Leann's Ride in an 8-Sec Twin Turbo Corvette LMR Posted: 21 Feb 2013 02:25 PM PST  Would you believe that some people are paid to ride in ridiculously fast sports cars like this twin-turbocharged Chevrolet Corvette LMR that runs the quarter mile in 8 seconds? Then again, not all people have the physical qualifications of professional model Sarah Leann… Too bad her first run in the 'Vette was incomplete due to the rain. Read more »   |
| Busted: BMW 4-Series Convertible is a Magazine Rendering Posted: 21 Feb 2013 01:40 PM PST  An allegedly leaked image of the new BMW 4-Series Convertible that surfaced on the internet today making its way on several sites, with or without their logos on the picture, is just a speculative rendering, Carscoop can reveal.

| 2014 Range Rover Gains New 335HP 3.0-liter Supercharged V6 Posted: 21 Feb 2013 12:57 PM PST  Less than three months after the all-new 2013 Range Rover hit U.S. shores and Land Rover has already released a 2014 model, which brings a new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine to replace the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8, with sales to begin this summer. Land Rover said this new engine will be offered in "key global markets which favour smaller capacity petrol engines", which sounds kind of strange if you consider that the V6 will be offered in North America but not in the United Kingdom… Read more »   |
| Audi R8 V8 Versus Porsche 911 Carrera 4S on the Track Posted: 21 Feb 2013 12:04 PM PST  Take a look at the Volkswagen Group's vast lineup of cars and you will be hard pressed to find two vehicles competing for the same buyers that are so different to each other. On one side, you have the recently updated Audi R8, which sports a 424hp (430PS) 4.2-liter naturally breathing V8 engine positioned right behind the driver linked to an all-wheel drive system.

| Volvo Slowly Ditching Ford Tech for its Own Platforms and Engines Beginning with the XC90 Posted: 21 Feb 2013 11:31 AM PST  It's been a little over two years since Ford Motor Co. sold Volvo to China's Geely Automobile, but the Swedes are still relying on the Blue Oval's platforms and engines. Even the new V40, which we initially expected to use the brand's own hardware, is in fact based on a Ford architecture. All this will begin to change from late next year when Volvo introduces the long awaited successor to its popular XC90 SUV, as it will be the first model in the range to use the company's all-new scalable platform architecture (SPA), which was announced in 2011 through the "You Concept" sedan.

| It Came from Craigslist Hell: The Toyota Previa Ranchero Posted: 21 Feb 2013 10:53 AM PST  Who ever said Renault has some made the quirkiest-looking minivans ever is probably right, but search into the depths of Craigslist's ads and you might be surprised with what you will find. Case in point, this bizarre creation discovered by Carscoop Facebook reader Jonathon O. for sale in Minnesota for the paltry sum of $4,800. Read more »   |
| Macho Infiniti Driver with a Gun Embarrasses Himself Posted: 21 Feb 2013 12:58 PM PST  America is not the only place in the world with a gun problem, as we've witnessed many times through dash-cam videos shot in Russia and the surrounding countries. Read more »    |

| 2013 Hyundai Sonata Gains Updated Hybrid System Yielding Better MPG, Costs $200 Less Posted: 21 Feb 2013 08:55 AM PST  The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is entering the 2013 model year with a number of changes for its gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain that help improve fuel efficiency by up to 6 percent and increase electric-only driving.

The radical two-seater model is dubbed the most fuel-efficient production car in the world returning an amazingly low fuel consumption of 0.9 l/100 km, which is the equivalent of 261 mpg US and 313mpg UK, with CO2 emission of just 21g/km. As with other European plug-in hybrid models, these value includes the constant use of the electric motor. Read more »   |
| Oh No, SUV Stunt Goes Painfully Awry in the Middle East Posted: 21 Feb 2013 07:07 AM PST  Two men clinging on the sides of an SUV (is that a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 or something else?) that's tilted on its side with two wheels off the ground and driving in circles on an uneven and bumpy surface; what could possibly go wrong? Sure, a few people willing to risk their lives and well-being have done it with success before, but your chances of coming out unscathed are clearly against you. Read more »   |
| This is the Actual 2013 Saab 9-3 Phoenix Designed by Jason Castriota Posted: 21 Feb 2013 06:19 AM PST  For a company that went belly up in 2011, Saab is sure receiving a lot of attention from the media lately. At first, it was Swedish magazine AutoMotorSport that brought Saab back again under the limelight of discussion with the release of three, very low quality, computer models of the new 9-3 in both liftback and convertible forms. The griffon-loving crew at Saabsunited accepted the challenge and upped the ante with the release of four pictures, the most important of which is a near production prototype of the liftback that would have been the new 2013 Saab 9-3.

| Mercedes-Benz Shows Digital CLA 45 AMG for New PlayStation 4 Racing Game, Debuts in NY Posted: 21 Feb 2013 05:32 AM PST  The next generation of Sony's best-selling gaming and media console series, the new PlayStation 4 (PS4), was formally announced and detailed, but not shown, during a special event in New York on Wednesday. Set to go on sale during this year's holiday season, the PS4 console itself sports some impressive specs such as the eight-core X86 AMD "Jaguar" CPU, a PC-style 1.84 Teraflop AMD Radeon graphics processor and no less than 8GB of RAM, but it's another announcement made during Sony's NY presentation that caught our attention.

Audi's latest e-tron model features a hybrid powertrain that couples a 1.4-liter TFSI turbocharged petrol engine delivering 148hp (150PS) to an electric motor with an output of 75kW (101hp or 102PS) integrated into a newly designed six-speed e-S tronic, transferring the power to the front wheels.

| The New VW Golf GTD it the GTI of Diesels Posted: 21 Feb 2013 04:39 AM PST  Continuing a tradition that stretches back more than three decades, Volkswagen is extending the seventh generation Golf's lineup with a performance diesel model carrying the GTD moniker. Like the first Golf GTD from 1982, the new model combines the styling cues and sportier chassis setup of a GTI with a diesel engine, which in this case, is a 2.0-liter common rail turbocharged inline-four producing 181hp (184PS) and 380Nm (280 lb-ft) of peak torque from 1,750 rpm, coupled to a standard six-speed manual or an optional six-speed dual clutch DSG.
