The development of a new vehicle is a years-long journey that culminates in what the industry calls “job one,” which is the moment the first example of a new model rolls off the assembly line. Given the complexity of the automotive design and manufacturing process, it’s no surprise automakers sometimes can’t predict when a new vehicle will go on

While it’s pretty well known that certain manufacturers tend to be a little “liberal” with their option pricing – try building a Mini, a BMW, or a Porsche online to see what we’re on about – the fact that you have to lay out an additional $1,200 over the base price of your Mini Cooper five-door for some “sporty” accoutrements pales in comparison to

The Detroit auto show (NAIAS) is The Big One every year, with plenty of big reveals and big-shots from every corner of the automotive industry making appearances. But let’s not forget that it is the little things, the details and nuances that truly win us over when we actually drive a car. We though we would take a few minutes to look at some of ou

Mercedes-Benz CEO Dieter Zetsche says a Maybach SUV is coming, according to a Detroit auto show report from the U.K.'s AutoExpress magazine.

Ah, Easter, a time for convincing children that rabbits reproduce by laying chocolate eggs. Hopefully there’ll be time to undo the damage before their university entrance exams. And also a time for celebrating spring, and a returning to life. Dormant trees begin to bud, bulbs rustle in the soil, and the first tentative blooms of the year begin a

While the cars we get to buy might not always be the most fascinating, most automakers continue to build vehicles that push the boundary of what the automobile can be. They're called concept cars because sometimes they're little more than that. Concept cars are the result of a single idea turned into something that automakers can render or push ont
