| 2011 BMW Models Get Early Intro; BMW Z4 sDrive35is Priced Posted: 28 Jan 2010 05:53 PM PST  We've recently filled you in on both the new 2011 BMW 5-Series sedans and the new track-oriented 2011 BMW 335is Coupe and Convertible that will be arriving to U.S. dealerships this spring and summer. Now BMW has lifted the gate to give much of the rest of its 2011 lineup an early launch. The 2011 BMW 1-Series Coupe hasn't changed significantly...

| Posted: 28 Jan 2010 03:14 PM PST  The 2010 BMW X6 is a bit of an oddball, its coupelike profile belying its SUV-like dimensions. The overall shape is aerodynamic and flowing above the shoulder line, but below, its bulk throws it off-balance. Reviewers tend to love or loathe the 2010 X6's styling, whether it's the plain-vanilla version or the more aggressively styled X6 M. Interior...

| 2010 Suzuki Kizashi Rates 5 Stars In NHTSA Test Posted: 28 Jan 2010 11:45 AM PST  Suzuki isn't a big-name player here in the U.S., but things may soon change, at least in the case of the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. We were impressed with the car during our first-drive road and track testing of the sporty, affordable sedan, and now the NHTSA has revealed 5-star crash-test ratings, putting it solidly in the big leagues. The 2010 Kizashi...

| Ferrari 599 Hybrid Coming To Geneva, 599XX Hits The Track In Valencia Posted: 28 Jan 2010 10:54 AM PST  The times, they are a changin', and even Ferrari is being dragged into the hybrid scene. During the debut of Ferrari's 2010 F10 Formula 1 car, CEO Luca de Montezemolo revealed that a production-ready hybrid version of the 599 would be coming to Geneva. The 599 Hybrid is still cloaked in mystery, but previous rumors of the car's Geneva Motor Show...

| Video: Audi Creates 'Green Police' To Enforce Popularity of 2010 Audi A3 TDI Posted: 28 Jan 2010 09:15 AM PST  Audi has big dreams of leaving BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the dust, so it's not surprising that the company is planning to advertise during the Superbowl again. What's slightly unusual, though, is that Audi's commercial will feature the 2010 Audi A3 TDI. We'd guess that Audi selected the TDI to tap into the trend toward greener automobiles, and...

| TomTom Has Been Watching You Speed, And Now It's Telling All Posted: 28 Jan 2010 08:22 AM PST  You already know that many drivers use GPS devices, and that many of those devices are made by TomTom.

But filmmaker and archivist Rick Prelinger is taking a different approach in his upcoming show at the Motor City's Museum of Contemporary Art. Entitled "Lost Landscapes of Detroit", Prelinger's exhibition is "a collection of...

| Ford Beats Estimates, Posts A $2.7 Billion Profit For 2009 Posted: 28 Jan 2010 05:30 AM PST  Not so very long ago, CEO Alan Mulally said that Ford wouldn't be "solidly profitable" until 2011, but investors will be happy to learn that the company just posted a profit from the fourth quarter of 2009 and a net gain for all of last year. Last January, Ford put down a $5.9 billion loss for Q4 of 2008, which contributed to a whopping $14.8...
