| 2011 Ford Mustang GT A Performance Bargain With Brembo Package Posted: 29 Mar 2010 11:54 AM PDT  The Mustang GT has always been a great performance value. But with nearly 100 horsepower more than last year's respective models and prices up only slightly, both the 2011 Ford Mustang V-6 and 2011 Ford Mustang GT are now even stronger bargains—especially, in the case of the GT, when you add the new Brembo Brake Package. For just $1,695 on GT...

| Video: TAG Heuer Shows How 'Easy' It Is To Recharge The Tesla Roadster Posted: 29 Mar 2010 09:30 AM PDT  A surprising number of potential car buyers are considering plug-in vehicles -- up to 25% of you, in fact. One of the biggest hurdles standing between shoppers and sellers, though, is anxiety about the batteries that plug-in vehicles use: how far will drivers be able to go on a charge, and how quickly and easily can batteries be topped off? To...

| Mercedes-Benz Decides All U.S. S-Class Cars To Be Hybrids Posted: 29 Mar 2010 08:39 AM PDT  While our colleague Nelson Ireson was driving the (very un-green) 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in Mexico this week, he heard an interesting item that's much more along our lines. It is: Mercedes-Benz plans to sell only hybrid models of the S-Class in the U.S. when the next generation car arrives, starting with the 2012 or 2013 model year. "strong...

| Chrysler On The Move: Automaker Welcomes 86 Dealerships Back To The Fold Posted: 29 Mar 2010 08:24 AM PDT  After a very long dry spell, the good news for Chrysler fans is finally flowing again. First we heard that the automaker was ratcheting up its production timeline on the eagerly anticipated 2011 Chrysler 300. Then, Fiat mentioned that it's on-track to assume a 35% stake in Chrysler within the next two years -- which might not be great news for...

| 2010 New York Auto Show Coverage Starts Here Posted: 29 Mar 2010 05:58 AM PDT  The 2010 New York Auto Show is primed to be the most exciting and product-filled North American show so far this year, as the industry bootstraps itself out of the depths of 2008 and 2009. With nearly as many new cars, concepts and special editions as Detroit and Chicago combined, it's expected to deliver plenty for enthusiasts and shoppers to...

| Volvo Slims And Trims: One Fewer Wagon, No More V-8 Engines Posted: 29 Mar 2010 05:55 AM PDT  While its just-announced $1.8 billion sale by Ford to Geely won't close for many months yet, Volvo carries on selling cars and crossovers in the U.S. But the Swedish make is slimming its model range before its overseas marriage, to focus on high-volume models. Exit the V70 Volvo spokesman Dan Johnston confirms that the 2010 Volvo V70 station wagon...

| Future Mazda Hybrids To Use Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive Technology Posted: 29 Mar 2010 04:55 AM PDT  Mazda has long been known for its high-efficiency, fun-to-drive gasoline engines. It's also developing diesels. But the company had little ongoing research in hybrid and electric cars aside from its unusual hydrogen rotary hybrid research vehicle. Now the mystery of where Mazda will find that technology has been solved. It won't come from former...

| 2010 New York Auto Show: Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon Show Car Posted: 28 Mar 2010 09:01 PM PDT  V is for vicious, virile, voracious--vroom. Or at least it is in the case of the CTS-V family of cars, grown one larger today with the unveiling of the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon show car, which previews the 2011 CTS-V Sport Wagon due later this year, and will be on show this week at the 2010 New York Auto Show. The CTS (non-V) Sport Wagon is a...

| First Drive: 2011 Ford Mustang V-6 Posted: 28 Mar 2010 09:01 PM PDT  Starting at less than $23,000, the new 2011 Ford Mustang V-6 is, surprisingly, one of the best bang-for-the-buck performance coupes. We're surprised here, because the Mustang V-6 has never been a very pulse-raising drive, rather the option for those who want the look but don't care much about the performance. Baby Boomers far and wide are going to...

| First Drive: 2011 Ford Mustang GT Posted: 28 Mar 2010 09:01 PM PDT  Let's cut to the chase: The new 2011 Mustang GT is about as badass as you can get in a normal production car. In this case, one with a bargain bottom-line price tag as low as $30,495. The first time you see—or hear—a new Mustang GT open up the throttle, you'll understand why we call it badass. Floor it, and the V-8 develops a deep authoritative...

| Posted: 28 Mar 2010 09:01 PM PDT  Two all-new engines—a V-6 and a V-8—promise to make the Mustang lineup a lot more exciting for 2011. Although the 2011 Ford Mustang isn't fully redesigned, it's extensively refreshed, with a new line of powertrains, new power steering, and suspension changes that altogether guarantee that it's going to be faster, more fuel-efficient and, likely...
