| 2010 Paris Auto Show: 2011 Audi A7 Live Photos Posted: 30 Sep 2010 01:00 PM PDT  Though it's been previewed earlier in the year, the 2011 Audi A7 made its formal debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show with the trendy slope-back style pioneered by Mercedes-Benz, and adapted heartily by Porsche. On the A7, the hatchback, four-door-coupe stance works much better than on the Porsche Panamera--as if it were developed without some...

| 2010 Paris Auto Show: 2011 BMW X3 Live Photos (With iPad!) Posted: 30 Sep 2010 12:30 PM PDT  BMW outlined the U.S. specs of its 2011 X3 crossover earlier this month, and at the 2010 Paris auto show, it displayed the new South Carolina-built SUV for the first time in public. The new creases and folds do good things for the X3's sheetmetal. The ute loses some of the slab-sided appearance of the last-generation vehicle, though it's...

| 2010 Paris Auto Show: Think Small, Act Fast, Go Blue Posted: 30 Sep 2010 12:00 PM PDT  Of all this year's A-list auto shows, the Paris show opening this week is the lucky one. The grey mood at recent shows in Frankfurt, Detroit, and Geneva broke at the Paris Expo, with a herd of electric supercars leading the charge. Two years ago, the raw display of power and advanced technology on the show floor might have been unimaginable...

| 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible: Teased, Priced At $30k Posted: 30 Sep 2010 11:14 AM PDT  The Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is going to arrive a little bit earlier than we expected. Chevy showrooms will see their first drop-top Camaros in February—likely just in time to see the buzz build up to summer—and it's a 2011 model. Pricing was also revealed: $30,000, including an $850 destination charge. That's about $2,000 higher...

| Nissan All Smiles: TownPod Concept Unveiled At 2010 Paris Motor Show Posted: 30 Sep 2010 09:05 AM PDT  If you remember back a few weeks you’ll remember that we were given a sneak peak at Nissan’s latest electric creation, the Townpod. We weren’t told much by NIssan at the time and spent some time cogitating over the enigmatic press release, which stated that the TownPod “is more than just a car and it’s more than just...

| 2010 Paris Auto Show: 2011 Range Rover Evoque Live Photos Posted: 30 Sep 2010 08:39 AM PDT  What began life as the LRX concept is now official: the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is headed for production, after a world debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. The crossover vehicle takes the heritage of Land Rover's rugged off-roaders and translates it to compact, two-door size. The $45,000 Evoque gets some of its mechanical inspiration...

| Fireball Run Day 7: The High Gear Handoff Posted: 30 Sep 2010 08:00 AM PDT  Yesterday was my last day on the Fireball Run. Today High Gear freelancer Tim Healey takes over my seat in the Camaro alongside Joel to head for the finish line in Galena, Illinois and I sit in the Kansas City airport. I wish I didn't have to leave, but the keyboard calls with a French accent as the Paris Auto Show is already underway. The places...

| Alan Mulally: Lincoln Is Going Global Posted: 30 Sep 2010 07:40 AM PDT  Ford Motor Company and its CEO Alan Mulally have had plenty of news to share with the folks at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. The biggest attention-getter so far may have been the unveiling of the stunning 2012 Ford Focus ST, but Mulally himself is causing a stir with his talk of broadening Lincoln's horizons and bringing its high-end vehicles to...

| 2012 Volkswagen NMS: More Sketches, Passat Still Not Coming Posted: 30 Sep 2010 07:00 AM PDT  At the 2010 Paris auto show, Volkswagen had a full range of new Passat sedans and wagons on display. But the Passat will not be returning to the U.S.--at least the new Euro Passat will not be--and to underscore that point, VW has released three new sketches of its upcoming new mid-size sedan (NMS). The NMS is the sedan that effectively replaces...

| 2010 Paris Auto Show: 2011 Volkswagen Passat (Euro) Live Photos Posted: 30 Sep 2010 07:00 AM PDT  The new Euro-spec 2011 Volkswagen Passat, shown for the first time at the Paris show, has a shape that North American shoppers will likely see. Nevertheless we look at it with interest, as it might preface some of the design details of our Passat replacement that's on the way. The Passat has a quite conservative profile, though there's an...

| 2010 Paris Auto Show: BMW Concept 6-Series Coupe Live Photos Posted: 30 Sep 2010 05:00 AM PDT  Easily one of the most dramatic vehicle unveilings at this week’s 2010 Paris Auto Show, the all-new 2010 BMW Concept 6-Series Coupe has made its official world debut and gives us a near-perfect preview of the design that will eventually feature on the upcoming 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe. The latest concept, meanwhile, shows the classic features...

| 2010 Paris Auto Show: Jaguar C-X75 Concept Live Photos Posted: 30 Sep 2010 04:00 AM PDT Jaguar's C-X75 concept car, designed to celebrate the marque's 75th anniversary and unveiled today at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, is nothing if not a striking design. And its technology is equally as stunning: it's an extended-range electric car with 68 miles of range on a lithium-ion battery pack. Housed under the deck behind the passengers are a...

| Paris Motor Show: Ford Confirms C-Max Hybrid And Plug-In Minivans Posted: 30 Sep 2010 02:25 AM PDT  Since launching the Ford Escape Hybrid in 2004, Ford has confined sales of its hybrid-electric vehicles to North America. But that's about to change. In European markets, where up to 50 percent of new cars are fitted with high-efficiency diesel engines, Ford has focused its efforts over the last decade on cars like the ultra-high-mileage Ford...
