| Posted: 04 Feb 2013 10:30 AM PST  The low, sleek, rakish design of the Fisker Karma awed the crowd when it was unveiled at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. In the five intervening years, the range-extended electric luxury sport sedan struggled into production years behind schedule, endured largely unfavorable reviews, and sold in what appear to be only small numbers--2,000 to 3,000...   |
| The Best Super Bowl Ads (And Blackout Tweets) Of 2013 Posted: 04 Feb 2013 08:29 AM PST  Super Bowl XLVII was many things, but dull? Not on your life.

| Auto Incentives Dropped 12% In January, But Transaction Prices Fell, Too Posted: 04 Feb 2013 07:30 AM PST  Incentives continued their long, slow decline in January, but according to TrueCar, transaction prices fell, too, which could soften the blow for bargain-hunters. On average, incentives slipped 12.2% between December 2012 and January 2013, coming to rest at $2,274 per vehicle. The pickings are particularly slim among Asian marques: Honda and Acura...   |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2013 05:26 AM PST  The Mercedes-Benz E-Class family of cars has long been a benchmark for luxury vehicles--whether we're talking about the sedan and wagon, or the short-wheelbase coupe and convertible spin-offs, or the torrid E63 AMG variants.
