Beijing 2010: Mercedes-Benz Shooting Break Concept
Let’s be entirely truthful, the concept car moniker attached to the Mercedes-Benz Shooting Break doesn’t mean much. What we are looking at is the next generation of the ground-breaking CLS four-door coupe (albeit in wagon form).
FireBreather Unveiling Leaves Attendees Seeing Red At AutoRama
If Chevrolet’s jet black Impala SS from the mid-1990s belonged to Darth Vader, behold the Emperor’s new ride, known as the FireBreather. Unveiled Friday in a spiffy ceremony at Detroit’s AutoRama, this oh-so-sexy Hollywood machine features 20 million layers of deep black paint over custom body work that has an undeniable late 1970s Firebird flavor, combined with menacing wheels and glowing red trim on the front clip. Call it sinister, or evil, or wickedly delightful; just don’t call it a Firebird Camaro.
Chicago 2010: Kia Ray Concept Smiles For Our Cameras
Kia’s latest concept, the Ray, is one of the more beautiful things that we’ve seen from the automaker as of late. It’s a swoopy, fluid design, and it certainly looks the part of a battery-electric hybrid.

Only a few months after Toyota pulled the wraps off of its all-new Sienna minivan, Honda is following suit with an updated version of its strong-selling Odyssey.

Detroit Preview: Chevrolet Aveo RS Is A Surprisingly Hot Little Number
We have a confession to make: In its current form, the Chevrolet Aveo has been the butt of many a joke within the automotive industry. It isn’t nearly as good as anything else in the class, and in a time when more focus is being put on B- and C-segment cars, General Motors really disappointed with its smallest offering. But a new version is on the horizon. And judging by the preliminary information about the Aveo RS show car (which will appear next week at the Detroit Auto Show), drastic changes are in the works.

List: Truly Cool Minivans
Toyota is pleased with its new Sienna minivan, seeing it as a fresh alternative to the dumpy, uncool image usually associated with these oft-ridiculed people-haulers. Winding Road’s Seyth Miersma found out if it lived up to the hype, leaving us to paw through the WR family photo albums for past MPVs that transcend their unflattering stereotypes. Surely, the Sienna wasn’t the first vehicle of its kind to attempt to appeal to the more savvy soccer moms.

Cadillac Bringing All-New Concept, Production CTS-V Coupe To Detroit Auto Show
Cadillac’s Art & Science design language will be heightened at this January’s Detroit Auto Show. GM’s non-Buick luxury division will be previewing an entirely new concept car, and we’re told it’s nothing we’ve seen before, so go ahead and rule out any possibility of a production ATS sedan to rival the C-Class and 3-Series.
