|
|
The new Boxster offers a lot to get excited about. It actually weighs and costs less than the outgoing model when comparably equipped, and it has a new interior borrowed nearly intact (save the upper dash and vents) from the new 911.... more

2005 Mercedes Benz CLS55 AMG
|
|
The speed-addled gang at AMG wasted little time in turning out a signature version of Mercedes Benz's new CLS slope-bodied four-door "coupe." The CLS55 AMG goes its lesser brethren (which top out at CLS500) at least one better, with a 5.4-liter V-8 supercharge... more

2006 Volkswagen Passat

No, it isn't at the Detroit show this year, but it's coming later this year, so we thought we'd tell you about it. Behind the shiny chrome shield adorning the front bumper of the new Passat lies a greatly improved vehicle with class-leading technology.... more

2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe
|
|
This great-looking successor to the previous-generation Viper GTS was not originally part of the plan for the new Viper.
