BMW Gets an Electric Revival with the iNEXT

Earlier this month, BMW celebrated 100 years of automotive excellence, but the Bavaria-based automaker isn’t resting on its laurels by any means. In fact, BMW today revealed its vision for the second decade of the 21st Century, which will focus predominantly on cutting-edge technologies like electric mobility and autonomous vehicles. The centerpiece of BMW’s ambitious plans is the iNEX

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Bugatti Chiron But Were Afraid to Ask

When you feast your eyes on a vehicle as jaw-droppingly beautiful as the Bugatti Chiron, few words need to be said. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then you’re already read a 4,000-word treatise on the Bugatti Chiron, which debuts at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show this week, that’s more sublime than my poor skills can manage. Still, you don’t visit Auto Publishers solely for car photos—theref

Volkswagen Stays Up As It Tries to Shed Scandal

In hopes of reviving its flagging brand, Volkswagen will unveil two new models on Tuesday at the Geneva International Motor Show 2016. The first model to be showcased is an all-new Volkswagen Up (pictured). An updated version of the Volkswagen Up city car will be available in three equipment lines, new exterior colors, body panels, seat fabrics, entertainment systems and more. Besides the Volkswag

McLaren Offers Practical Luxury with the 2017 570GT

To use the parlance of our U.K. friends, the McLaren Sports Series of vehicles are simply smashing. As automotive works of art, you can’t do much worse than the 570S Coupe and 540C Coupe. To extend the simile further, McLaren cars are like rare and expensive gallery paintings. McLaren has only sold about 1,500 units in the past two years—due to the fact that they don’t make that many—with the most

Aston Martin DB11 Leaked

My penchant for Aston Martin, is obvious. I honestly believe they are the greatest automaker in the world, because they have never yielded to mediocrity, instead they have striven to make a product that exceeds all others in every way, even in the face of bankruptcy. Despite being (ostensibly) a single (super) instrument band, they are remarkably well rounded. If it were not for the fact that the

Tesla Jr.

The headline may have caught you by surprise, so let me reiterate: yes, Tesla has built a Model S for kids. While you or I might think that’s a bit nutty, Elon Musk has come up with far more outlandish proposals in the past. The mini Tesla Model S—which we are henceforth calling Tesla Jr. (pictured)—was created in collaboration with Radio Flyer. (If the brand name isn’t familiar to you, you may s

Can the Model 3 Make Musk’s Affordable EV Dreams Come True?

I know that there are Tesla fanatics reading this, so they may have already circled March 31, 2016 on their calendars. That’s the day when Elon Musk (pictured, natch) will unveil the Model 3 and take pre-orders on the electric vehicle that Musk hopes will make the brand mainstream. While we still don’t know what the Model 3 will look like, Tesla did confirm suspicions about its cost. The MSRP on

Is Volkswagen Prepared to Pay the Diesel Emissions Piper?

Millions of Volkswagen diesel owners have seemingly waited forever for the Wolfsburg-based automaker to resolve its emissions scandal. It’s taking VW longer to get its house in order than most might’ve liked, but to be fair some slow and steady steps are being made. The question is, will it be enough to stem the tide of negative publicity that threatens to put VW in the red in perpetuity? On Frid

Jaden Smith Has a Tesla Model X…Jealous?

The Tesla Model X is scheduled to hit dealership floors in late 2016, but exceptions can always be made if you’re Hollywood royalty. At 17, Jaden Smith is the youngest owner thus far of a Tesla Model X. The After Earth star was pictured posing with his Tesla Titanium Model X this week in Calabasas, CA. To some, it may be a bit galling that a kid like Smith could get his hands on a Tesla Model X s

The Scion FR-S is Dead. Long Live the Toyota FR-S!

Of all the Scion models that have ever been made, the Scion FR-S (pictured) is arguably the coolest. Since making its U.S. debut at the 2012 SEMA Show, the FR-S has been a favorite of gearheads. Like much of the Scion lineup, the FR-S was designed specifically for young urban professionals seeking a reliable, affordable vehicle that have just enough style to not get them laughed out of their local
