Spy Shots: Oh-So-Good Saab 9-5 rear end and interior spotted 5 months ago on Autoblog

Rumor has it that the next 9-5 is so good, General Motors CEO Fritz Henderson doesn't want to get rid of Saab. We suspect that's more of a ploy to draw in big dollars, but a top notch Saab 9-5 will help improve the value of the perennially struggling Swedish automaker regardless. Judging from these ...

Spy Shots: Is this the face of the next Mini Cooper? Probably not. 5 months ago on Autoblog

Take a good look at the spy shot above. The car you see is obviously a MINI of some sort, though nobody seems quite sure what to make of it. There's a possibility that it's nothing more than a clay mock-up of a possible design direction that didn't make it into production, but it could also be some ...

Spy Shots: Next-gen Jaguar XJ... No, really! 5 months ago on Autoblog

BMW is known for wrapping its prototypes in funkadelic patterns to obscure new design details. And, seeing as the car above is sporting a split-kidney grille, you would think that you're staring at a BMW prototype of some sort. Maybe the next-next-gen 7 Series or something. Well, that's what ...

REPORT: Spied Aston V12 Vantage Roadster actually a beefed-up V8 5 months ago on Autoblog

If you saw the recent spy shots of a supposed upcoming Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster and wondered where all the louvers from the coupe went, the answer may be found in newer reports.

Spy Shots: Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster 5 months ago on Autoblog

Aston Martin knows how to crank out the variants like few others automakers.

Leaked: 2010 Opel Astra gets early web reveal 5 months ago on Autoblog

Opel's Astra hasn't exactly gone down a storm here in the U.S. while wearing a Saturn badge, but the four-cylinder econocar lineup is pivotal stuff in Europe, and the next-generation model could still find its way to America – even if it doesn't wear a planetary badge. Regardless of ...

Spy Shots: Is this the next-generation Ford Ranger? And if so, will we get it? 5 months ago on Autoblog

Ford's recent strategy of combining all of its vehicles from around the world on a single set of platforms may finally bring a new Ranger small pickup truck to the United States once the current model loses its long-running lease on life after the 2011 model year. Spy shooters from the other side of ...

We've been reporting on the Lexus LF-A since 2005, and since that time we've shown you the debut of two separate LF-A concepts, an LF-A Roadster and a race version of the LF-A that competed in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. What we've yet to show you amongst these concepts, race cars and the ...

Spy Shots: BMW 5-Series GT 5 months ago on Autoblog

A couple of near production-ready 5-Series GTs have been caught on BMW's home turf, and to our eyes they don't hurt the car, but they don't make a case for it either. The last time we were in this situation -- hoping a car's production version would be a huge improvement over it's pre-production ...

Reader Spy: Hyundai Equus takes to U.S. streets 6 months ago on Autoblog

This is the new Hyundai Equus in the steel and on U.S. roads, courtesy of Autoblog reader Alex. Depending on dealer reaction to the car, Hyundai could-maybe-possibly-might bring it to America. If so, we would then find out if Hyundai could do what Volkswagen was incapable of doing with its ...

Spy Shots: Saab 9-5 still coming despite brand's hardship 6 months ago on Autoblog

An eagle-eyed spy shooter hiding behind the bushes somewhere in Europe managed to capture a trio of next-gen Saab 9-5 hatchbacks wearing a bit less camouflage than we've seen in the past. For the first time, we can see the new Swedish beauty's front and rear light clusters, along with what appears ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Toyota Sienna performs platform shuffle 6 months ago on Autoblog

The Toyota Sienna minivan already shares a lot of the Camry's yeoman components, and for 2011 the two vehicles are going to converge even more. A mule's been snapped by The Detroit News' sharpshooters, and it doesn't look too different from the van you can buy in your local Toyota showroom. Don't be ...

Wise Choice: The not-so-Smart ForMore SUV that never was 6 months ago on Autoblog

Nearly every automaker on the planet has suffered from bouts of over-reaching and Smart is hardly an exception. Daimler's micro-car division succumbed to the desire to fill every conceivable niche a few years back, unsuccessfully adding roadsters and four-door models to its iconic two-door city ...

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Pullman drawings leak from European patent office 6 months ago on Autoblog

It's no great secret that the European Union's patent office has more leaks than a Soviet submarine, but up until now it's only been small cars that have been able to trickle out (see: the facelifted Mazda MX-5 and Nissan 370Z Roadster). But the dam seems to be giving way as a whole Mercedes ...

VIDEO: Ferrari F450 test mule caught in two-minute spy footage 6 months ago on Autoblog

Catching a glimpse inside Ferrari's top-secret Fiorano test track in Maranello is a rare treat. Catching a developmental test mule for an upcoming supercar on video is another matter entirely. But as Ferrari prepares for the anticipated debut of the successor to its F430, the proverbial cat was ...

Spy Shots: BMW X1 spotted on location in Germany 6 months ago on Autoblog

The BMW X1 has been spied doing doing close-ups for some sort of video shoot in Germany. While the little guy could even be called cute in this photo, and the darker color does it tremendous favors, it's still a strangely proportioned little beast – like one of those cuddly-yet-awkward babies ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Nissan GT-R spotted testing at Nürburgring? 6 months ago on Autoblog

One way to win races is to bury the pedal and never lift. It would appear Nissan may be following the same plan with the development of its GT-R. Rather than sit around and let the car's development go cold, Nissan is continuing to refine its bargain supercar slayer. Nürburgring watchers have ...

Spy Shots: Porsche working on Boxster Speedster? 6 months ago on Autoblog

The Speedster variants Porsche made out of its 911 range in the '80s and '90s went down as one of the most iconic in the company's history. But with the Boxster already in the line-up, making a 911 Speedster today would make about as much sense as, um.... mounting a flat six behind the rear axle. So ...

Spy Shots: 2010 Audi RS5 sprouts retractable wing at the 'Ring 6 months ago on Autoblog

Each successive batch of spy shots shows the 2010 Audi RS5 taking shape, and with development churning along at quick clip, we suspect Audi's newest M3 fighter will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. Unlike previous images that captured the coupe traveling to and from Audi's ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Hyundai Sonata interior 6 months ago on Autoblog

We've already seen the exterior pics of the next Hyundai Sonata, and though the mule was well disguised, it had attractive proportions. What those images didn't reveal was the new Sonata's cabin, but a new spy shot shows a nearly production-ready interior. The first thing that caught our eye in ...

Spy Shots: Audi's A5 Sportback surprises 6 months ago on Autoblog

Audi's relentless niche filling continues unabated with the imminent arrival of the A5 Sportback – the forthcoming A7's little brother. Reportedly based on the A5 coupe, the five-door Sportback will blend the A4's practicality with the A7's "four-door coupe" profile. According to ...

Spy Shots: Rakish 2011 Hyundai Sonata draws closer 6 months ago on Autoblog

Spy Shots: Ferrari 612 successor spotted in the wild 6 months ago on Autoblog

Earlier this month, sharp shooters brought us our first glimpse of the test mule under development to replace the gargantuan Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, and now we're getting a closer look... with some camouflage.

Spy Shots: Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS taking shape 6 months ago on Autoblog

The gestation of the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS has spanned almost two years, and what started with a Viper-bodied mule, a few drawings and a full-scale interior mock-up has evolved into this, the latest super coupe prototype caught outside AMG Headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany. Although there's ...

Spy Shots: Ferrari to give 599 the Scuderia treatment? 6 months ago on Autoblog

Some people just won't leave well enough alone. We love those people. Like the engineers at Ferrari, who routinely develop some of the most wicked supercars known to man, and then set about improve them. Take, for example, the 360 Modena. A spectacular car, by all accounts, so they made it better ...

Rendered Speculation: Ferrari F142 taking shape 6 months ago on Autoblog

CAR Magazine is running a new sketch of what they anticipate the newest V8 Ferrari will look like, and we have to say, we're a little disappointed. Internally dubbed the Ferrari F142, Maranello's replacement for the F430 is inching closer to its first public showing, and although we've seen some ...

Spy Shots: Volkswagen pickup prototype runs the 'Ring 6 months ago on Autoblog

Volkswagen has just sent out one of its latest models to tackle the Nürburgring. While that in and of itself is not necessarily newsworthy, the fact that it was their upcoming midsize pickup truck, is. While the firm's new Scirocco GT24-CNG is set to contest the 24 hour race at Germany's ...

Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta sedan prototype spotted, seems to indicate design tweaks for U.S. 6 months ago on Autoblog

Right at this moment, 100 people selected by the Ford Motor Company are getting an early sneak peek at the 2011 Fiesta, but, as likable as they may be, the vehicles that are being used as demonstrators for the Fiesta Movement aren't U.S.-spec machines. As you might expect, the car on its way to ...

Spy Shots: Spyker Peking-to-Paris ready to conquer Normandy 7 months ago on Autoblog

Things are finally starting to turn around for Dutch boutique supercar manufacturer Spyker.

Spy Shots: Replacement for Ferrari 612 Scaglietti could get a greener engine 7 months ago on Autoblog

There's been discussion recently of an updated 599 GTB Fiorano and a replacement for the F430, but the oldest Ferrari in the stable is the 612 Scaglietti. So it would stand to reason that Maranello would be planning to replace the controversial 2+2 flagship before its smaller siblings were updated, ...

Spy Shots: 2012 Porsche Boxster already running the Nürburgring? 7 months ago on Autoblog

Think Porsche designers are too busy drawing up cell phones and special-edition sport-utes to care about the roadster that put the brand back on the map and on the path to acquiring the Volkswagen auto empire? Think again. The Stuttgart-based automaker just took the veil off its new 2009 Boxster ...

Spy Shots: Face-lift Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano on its way? 7 months ago on Autoblog

Three years may not seem like a long time to keep a car on the market, but for an exotic automaker built on a Formula One team accustomed to replacing their racing machinery every season, 36 months must seem like an eternity.
