2009 Dodge Challenger will start at $21,995 2008-06-10 01:52:00 Back in April we reported a top Chrysler executive had leaked to The Detroit Free Press that the 2009 DodgeChallenger

In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Saab Turbo X 2008-06-10 01:43:00 Turbocharging has been as much a part of Saab's DNA for the last three decades as jets. Saab didn't invent turbocharging, but the Swedish brand has probably embraced it more completely than other carmaker. With 2008 marking the 30th birthday of the first production Saab 99 Turbo, the gang in Trollhattan decided to celebrate with their meanest and fastest iteration yet. As we close out the 2008 mod Read more:Garage

2009 Cadillac CTS-V will officially make 556 horsepower 2008-06-10 01:42:00 We thought Bentley's announcement earlier today that it's adding a Speed model to the Continental Flying Spur lineup was exciting news for sedan fans. After all, a 600bhp saloon that can hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and reach 200 MPH is pretty exciting, no? Not really when compared to Cadillac
's news that the 2009 CTS-V will officially be rated at 556 horsepower, hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and run the Read more:Cadillac CTS
2009 Chevy Aveo5 and Aveo sedan to start at $12,120 2008-06-10 01:41:00 While the outward appearance of the Chevy
Aveo5 could charitably be described as "polarizing", its recently announced pricing will likely polarize a few people, as well. Currently, the Aveo sedan
and Aveo5 hatchback boast the lowest average transaction price in the United States of $12,258 according to J.D. Power and Associates, but the 2009 model might end that trend with a big price bump for the
Hertz adding Corvette ZHZ to Fun Collection 2008-06-10 01:40:00 Whenever we rent a car from Hertz, we always peruse the Fun Collection then settle on a cheap economy car that won't break the bank. Today Hertz announced that it's adding a new model to the Fun Collection that may change our renting habits this summer. Just like it did with Ford when the rental company offered the Mustang GT-H, Hertz has teamed with General Motors to offer the Corvette

Pics Aplenty: 2009 Cadillac XLR and XLR-V 2008-06-10 01:39:00 While Cadillac
released information on the freshened XLR roadster last week, all we had to look at was a single photo. Well, now we can see the rest of it. XLR.net has gotten hold of several more shots of the halo Caddy in both the standard Platinum trim and in rodded-up V-Series form (above). We were most curious to see the updated interior, but one look is all it takes to see that it's fundament

Spied! 2009 Acura TSX 2008-06-05 00:33:00 The 2009 Acura
TSX was spotted and caught with a cell phone camera. As you can see in the picture, the car is more rounded and is larger than the previous model. Would this mean the TL and RL will also move and become larger for the 2009/2010 redesign/revisions? Could be. Although the side looks a lot in favour of a Ford Fusion, the front end has a little in line with the Jaguar XF, although not b

Accords were spotted on a transporter truck. As you can see, they evoke the same front ends as the teaser pictures originally posted by Honda a few weeks ago. Not bad, it'll do good in the US, but it'll take more than that to budge the more modern-looking sedans in Europe. Read more:Acura

Lithuanian foam sculptor does BMWs too 2008-06-01 11:15:00 Whether or not the foam-skinned car based on a Mercedes-Benz got your motor going yesterday, you have to give the artist credit for painstakingly completing not one, but two of these polyurethane-plated projects. Thanks to a reader's tip, we found this BMW 6 Series-based interpretation wearing the same brilliant red paint, flashy 30-inch dubs, and dual triangulated exhaust tips. While the sculpt

BMW 123d hanging out in Michigan 2008-06-01 11:13:00 Imagine, if you will, a compact rear-wheel-drive hatchback that runs from 0-62mph in a very respectable 6.9 seconds. Not to shabby. Now imagine that this same car could average 45 mpg (US)! Not possible, you say? Au contraire!
