| Posted: 15 Jan 2010 04:48 PM PST  The Lincoln MKX has proven to be a success for Ford's luxury brand. Most of the core features of the previous model are carried over on the 2010 Lincoln MKX, though a few new features and a small rise in fuel economy add value to the vehicle. Built around the same mechanical elements as the Ford Edge, the 2010 MKX also shares the same standard...

| 2010 Porsche Cayenne Bottom Line Posted: 15 Jan 2010 04:17 PM PST  The Cayenne is Porsche's only SUV, and it's the brand's best-selling vehicle in North America. Such a successful recipe is worth sticking with, and accordingly Porsche has announced no updates for the 2010 model year, though two special-edition models are available: The Transsyberia S and the GTS PD Edition 3. Those models offers unique equipment...

| Teamsters, Tea Party Protest Some Of The Same Things At Detroit Posted: 15 Jan 2010 12:55 PM PST  At two places during the Detroit auto show—first circulating on a Cobo Hall press-room table, then later slipped under my hotel-room door—I found a leaflet entitled: "Toyota: A Danger to America," carrying the footer, "I ain't dying for a Toyota." Wearing the language and design earmarks of auto-industry union propaganda (yes, I'm a Michigan...

| Posted: 15 Jan 2010 10:24 AM PST  The front-wheel-drive Lexus ES 350 has long been the most subtle car in Lexus' already hardly overt lineup—appealing to those who want a smooth, responsive, quiet, and very comfortable luxury car, with some world-class technology features inside. What separates the ES 350 from the Toyota Camry are exterior styling and interior refinement. The two...

| Video, Weekend Reading For VW and Chrysler/Fiat Fans Posted: 15 Jan 2010 10:13 AM PST  It's been a very long week here at TCC: our inboxes are packed with press releases and publicity photos from NAIAS, and we're so behind on our news feeds that we'll be lucky to catch up before the Geneva Motor Show in March. At the top of our to-read list, though, are two intriguing profiles of European CEOs with big plans for the U.S.: the...

| Dodge Charger Is The Only Detroit Auto With A Superbowl Ad Posted: 15 Jan 2010 08:28 AM PST  A couple of days ago, we mentioned that Volkswagen would return to the Superbowl advertising arena after a nine-year absence with a new, 30-second spot highlighting the full range of VW vehicles. A handful of other brands will seen during the game -- including Honda, Hyundai, and VW's brash sister, Audi -- but only one will hail from Detroit...

| Auto Brand Websites: Audi, BMW, Benz Great; Tesla, Lotus, Lambo Lousy Posted: 15 Jan 2010 07:30 AM PST  It shouldn't be news to any reader of this site that every automaker now has extensive product information on its website. But the relative usefulness of different carmakers' sites varies enormously, and now the Luxury Lab (L2) has evaluated every single one. Their Digital IQ Index ranking breaks the sites into groups: Genius, Gifted, Average...

| Chrysler Ditches The Sebring Name, But Not The Car Posted: 15 Jan 2010 06:31 AM PST  Here's the good news: Chrysler is dumping the Sebring. The bad news? It's just dumping the name. Chrysler's CEO Sergio Marchionne understands that the Sebring is not all that it should be. The mid-size sedan has left most critics cold (our own Marty Padgett gave it a 7), and it's been a model underachiever on the lots, selling just 70,000 units in...

| Jeep Adds Fiat Platform, Paving Way For New Models Posted: 15 Jan 2010 05:03 AM PST  Chrysler may be struggling to get its bearings at the moment, but rest assured, there are interesting developments afoot. Most recently, news has filtered out that Chrysler will add Fiat's C-segment platform to the Jeep lineup, effectively laying the groundwork for a new range of products from the brand. The platform is currently used on the Alfa...

| Report: Jeep Planning Models Based On Fiat C-Evo Platform Posted: 15 Jan 2010 03:54 AM PST  Fiat's latest iteration of its mid-size C-Evo platform will be appearing in the U.S.-bound Alfa Romeo Giulietta hatchback, having already been successfully implemented in the Fiat Bravo range of hatchbacks and sedans sold overseas. A new report indicates that the flexible platform is also destined for future Jeep models. The vehicle architecture...

| Spy Shots: Lamborghini Jota Murcielago Replacement Posted: 15 Jan 2010 02:11 AM PST  Lamborghini recently revealed its new Reventon Roadster, a car many believe to be the final evolution of the Murcielago platform so it’s not surprising to see this new prototype for the car’s replacement undergoing testing. This new Lamborghini will have some tough competition when it arrives as there are new supercar models in the...

| 2010 Suzuki Equator Bottom Line Posted: 14 Jan 2010 10:20 PM PST  As Suzuki's first modern pickup for the United States, the Equator is largely a Nissan Frontier, rebadged with some slightly different trim and details. Available in Extended Cab and Crew Cab models, the 2010 Equator puts a slightly more recreational and off-road focus on a mid-size pickup design. The Equator arguably looks better than the...

| Posted: 14 Jan 2010 10:12 PM PST  Thanks to styling that resists the almost identical cues used by other major truckmakers—along with a strong V-8 engine—the Titan stands out from the crowd. Yet those same attributes give the Titan limited appeal; while other full-size pickups try to be everything to everyone, with special focused models for all sorts of work and play, the 2010...
