Hyundai is really on a roll. The automaker is really setting itself up to become one of the leaders in refinement, economy, and value in many segments.

First Look: 2011 Ford Fiesta

The Fiesta has been a success story in Europe for many, many years, and it seems like America’s biggest concern is how the Fiesta’s design would change once the car was brought to our shores. Well, as you can see by the photos, it’s slightly different, but in a way looks like a natural evolution of the Fiesta. Consider it a mid-cycle refresh, if you will.

First Look: 2011 Audi A8

Ah, Miami in November (almost December). What better place for Audi to officially take the wraps off of its 2011 A8 flagship? The new sedan’s design is a proper evolution of the Audi styling language we’ve seen infused on the A4 and A5 in recent years, but there’s a whole lot of new-ness to this car, namely those sexy headlamps.

First Look: 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe

The speculation surrounding the Cadillac CTS Coupe finally comes to an end today. The official images and details of the two-door CTS have been released and the production car will hit showrooms in the spring of 2010. And while the coupe might look a lot like the sedan and wagon variants that we’ve already driven, it’s important to know that only the instrument panel, console, front fenders, grille, and headlamps are shared with the sedan. The coupe rides on the same wheelbase, but is shorter by two inches and rides two inches lower to the ground.

First Look: 2010 Lexus GX460

Well, the near-forgotten ‘ute enters its second generation for 2010, complete with up-to-date tech and a more powerful/efficient engine. A slight refresh to the exterior design isn’t necessarily the prettiest thing we’ve ever seen, but it falls in line with the Lexus design language that we’ve seen on the RX crossover and LX full-size SUV.
