German Press and Jetta TDI "Green Car of the Year" Volkswagen did the unimaginable at the LA Auto Show. It garnered the “Green Car of the Year”. VW did it with a diesel, not a hybrid, not some exotic fuel, but a performance oriented turbo-DIESEL. Hopefully that award will open up a few eyes to the ease one can “go green” and not have to give up any driving fun in the process. (Snark alert:hopefully ...

The Dodge EV concept was revealed in a flourish of showmanship directly ahead of the time the not-so-Big Three went before Congress begging for a loan to retool for greener cars, but the LA Auto Show is the first time we're getting a close look at it. The Dodge EV, an all-electric version of the Lotus Europa fitted with a Dodge badge, lithium-ion battery pack and an electric motor, is apparently able to hit a ...

Known as the S197, this Mustang appeared at a ...

This year, as the 2009 Nissan 370Z is set to be unveiled next week at the LA Auto Show, marks nearly 40 years since the first Z car's simple origins as the 1969 Datsun 240Z. Since then we've seen the Z go all over the place, from tech-heavy with the 1991 300ZXTT and just plain heavy with the outgoing 350Z. But big was still beautiful, and each iteration of the itty-bitty Nissan, including the final ...

Bentley's got a brand new member of the Bentley Arnage gang hitting the streets at the LA Auto Show later this month. It's called the 2009 Bentley Azure T. The new drop-top Bentley gets the same 500 bhp V8 under the hood of the Brooklands coupe and the Arnage Final Series, so this special edition won't be seeing a power boost in this new edition. What should you expect to see a boost? How about ...
