In San Jose, California, a used-car dealer—Alberto Luna, of Alberto's Auto Sales, also in San Jose—was a Bad Man.

| Spy Shots: 2012 Range Rover LRX Test Mule Posted: 14 Jan 2010 02:12 PM PST  Dynamically designed and arrestingly attractive, Land Rover's LRX concept has won much praise on the auto show circuit--so much so that it is being rushed to production.

Posted: 14 Jan 2010 10:33 AM PST  With the "Green Car Challenge" segment of his soon-to-be-terminated 10 pm show, Jay Leno has been a frequent proponent of electric cars--among them the upcoming electric version of the Ford Focus. Now that car has a name, as Ford happened to mention during a 2010 Detroit Auto Show press event. The company was talking about its decision to bring...

| Lutz: Commodore-Based 'Four-Door Corvette' Possible Posted: 14 Jan 2010 10:13 AM PST  Bob Lutz, the man behind--among so many things--the recent Converj production snafu, is talking today about a Holden Commodore-based four-door Corvette for the U.S. We're not holding our breath, but it's an interesting idea. The four-door Corvette was proposed as an evolution of the Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle--once that car is in production and...

| Best Green Car of the 2010 Detroit Auto Show: 2012 Ford Focus Posted: 14 Jan 2010 09:35 AM PST  We're back home from the mind-numbing madness of the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, unpacking, sorting press kits (well, these days they're just USB drives), and trying to work out what we thought of it all. This year, there's no question about the best green car there: It was the 2011 Ford Focus compact sedan and hatchback, hands down. We ran down the...

| 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Gets Synergy Special Edition Posted: 14 Jan 2010 09:22 AM PST  When it comes to muscle cars, it's as much about the look as it is about the performance. And the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro certainly has the look down. Today, however, it gets a meaner, greener look with the Synergy Special Edition. The color is called Synergy Green, and it's intended to build on a tradition of eye-popping colors fo the Camaro...

| Toyota Is Tops In Brand Loyalty And Brand Perception Posted: 14 Jan 2010 08:20 AM PST  Ford may have swept the NACOTY awards, and Hyundai may be riding a wave of great press in the U.S., but the American public still views Toyota as the best brand -- and they're more loyal to it than to any other. For the third year in a row, Toyota has taken the #1 spot on Consumer Reports' annual Brand Perception survey. The survey asks consumers...

| Why New Ford V-6 and V-8 Engines Don't Have Direct Injection Posted: 14 Jan 2010 05:58 AM PST  A couple of years ago, General Motors introduced a new-generation 3.6-liter direct-injection V-6—beating its Detroit rivals, and most other automakers, to market with a DI engine. Between the Los Angeles and Detroit auto shows, Ford has introduced a pair of all-new V-6 and V-8 engines, slated for a wide range of applications and the V-6 making...
