Arriving this fall, the 2013 Conquest Evade is an unarmored sister model to the Canadian boutique automaker’s $600,000 Knight XV. I recently posted on that armored luxury limo as I was generally floored by its existence. Conquest just announced the Evade through social media, and posted a teaser video on YouTube. It certainly looks the part, with a close family […]

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Mini in the United States. The lineup has grown from a single model – the 2+2 hardtop – to six variants including the extended Clubman, 4-door Countryman, 2-seat Coupe and Roadster, and commercially-focused Clubvan. The recently announced Paceman will join the lineup in 2013.

I provided coverage of several brands for the 2012 Chicago Auto Show for Autotrader.com. While the Windy City’s show is not the biggest in terms of debuts, it still brings plenty of exciting concepts and production introductions. My favorites include the Kia Track’ster, a high-performance concept based on the Soul, as well as the newest creation by Ford’s SVT crew, […]

Fiat dropped photos of the new 4-door version of the little 500, called the 500L. The stretched-out compact will debut next month at the Geneva Auto Show.

The new Mercedes-Benz SL arrives next spring with all-aluminum construction, weighing at least 250 pounds less than its predecessor. Plus, its 4.7-liter direct-injection twin-turbo V8 makes 429 horsepower to the old car’s 382. Torque?
