REPORT: Honda to premiere new small car concept at Delhi Motor Show

Honda has announced plans to unveil a new small car concept at the 10th Auto Expo automobile show in New Delhi on January 5. Just last week, Toyota made almost the exact same announcement and both Japanese automakers are staying mum on any actual details.

Schnuerer Toys for Tots drive bigger than ever with a gullwing surprise 12 days ago on Autoblog

Infiniti prepares special FX Millionaire Edition exclusively for Europe 19 days ago on Autoblog

This ungainly little creature had an area all to itself at this year's Essen Motor Show. Built over four years by Swiss drag racer Stefan Winter – who is a roofer by trade – the most important thing to say is this: Winter did not mangle a genuine 1956 Mercedes 300 SL to create this ...

Flight of the Alcador: Franco Sbarro unveils Ferrari Testarossa-based Lista Office in Essen 21 days ago on Autoblog

If you thought that last remaining piece of lasagna at the food court looked iffy, remember that's not even the most suspicious concoction to bear the Sbarro banner. Franco Sbarro rivals even his fellow Swiss coachbuilder Rinspeed for his, um... "originality." Recent examples have included a ...

As we discovered earlier this month, the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo is one heck of a fast car. The quickest Porsche has ever produced, in fact. So it would take considerable moxie to try and improve on it. Fortunately, 9ff has such moxie, as demonstrated with the company's new Speed9. We brought ...

The Show Must Go On: Italy's Bologna salon forges ahead without automakers 2 months ago on Autoblog
