2007 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
|
|
Here we have a true four-seat luxury boat for the road. The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coup is a two-door, open-top version of the stately Rolls-Royce Phantom. Not that much shorter than the sedan and every bit as imposing, the DHC makes an impression that... more

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Prototype
|
|
Why it is one of our most significant: We love the Lancer Evolution. The tenth iteration-previewed by this concept-should be the best-ever, with a more technologically advanced all-wheel drive system and over 300 horsepower, not to mention some more than attra... more

|
|
One of our top three most significant Chicago show debuts. Saturn's Astra is significant because it represents one thing: Change. GM's fuzziest, cutest, and most user-friendly brand (Showroom as living room! Fixed price tags! Warm Cosby sweaters!) has long suf... more

2008 Lexus IS-F
|
|
The speculation and hearsay is finally over. Lexus, having failed to match the basic BMW 3-series with the IS, is going straight for the big dog M3 with its new IS-F. Under the massively bulged hood you see here is a 5.0-liter beast of a V-8 engine putting out... more

2008 Volkswagen Touareg
|
|
While it would appear that only three parts--two headlights and a grille--have been changed to freshen the Touareg for 2007, Volkswagen clams that they've added more than 2300 redesigned parts. It's what's inside that counts, right? After all, that's where the... more
