LA LIVE: 2014 Acura RLX - Latest Cars News

Whether that will appeal to buyers seeking a sedan in the $45,000-50,000 range remains to be seen, however.

Leaked patent images reveal 2015 Mazda3 - Latest Cars News

The company's so-called Kodo design language that first entered production with the Mazda CX-5 is clearly visible in this car's front fascia and rear end, but the swoopy side profile and certain details are almost Alfa Romeo-esque to our eyes. Though the current Mazda3 was the automaker's first model to receive its much-ballyhooed high-mpg Skyactiv engine and transmission in the United States, the 2012 model year introduction of that powertrain was essentially a stopgap measure. Under the automaker's Skyactiv philosophy, issues such as vehicle weight and aerodynamics are factored into creating an altogether more efficient, yet still performance-oriented package. The CX-5 was the first full-scale application of Skyactiv and the company's...

The grille, badges and headlights surrounds are all rendered in black, and black-trimmed 17-inch wheels fill the dark voids of the wheel wells. While the van can also be had in Deep Cherry Red, Stone White or Billet Silver, Brilliant Black seems like the most appropriate hue for the exterior. There are no color choices inside : Black Torino leather seats with Ballistic Black cloth inserts, Piano Black trim and a black headliner are all standard. "S" logos adorn the seatbacks and gauge cluster, and dark grey stitching completes the treatment. In addition to the style-focused upgrades, there's...

LA Live: Hyundai Veloster C3 Roll Top concept - Latest Cars News

Called the Veloster C3 Roll Top, the concept is highlighted by a versatile convertible roof that Hyundai says was created from a repurposed billboard truck tarp. For a wind-in-you-hair convertible experience, it can be folded back; should there be a need to carry bulky items like bikes or surfboards, extra cargo space can be freed up by folding the rear seats, popping open the tailgate (fitted in place of the normal car's hatch) and rolling the top forward. Hyundai says the C3 Roll Top was inspired by colorful, low-cost fixed gear bikes, with that influence taking the form of mismatched front and rear wheels in addition to other unique elements such as interior floor tiles constructed from recycled skate board decks.

VW likely to replace Eos with larger, four-seat convertible - Latest Cars News

These tidbits were revealed at the launch of the 2014 VW Beetle Convertible by VW's head of design Klaus Bischoff. Speaking to AutoCar, Bischoff said his team is working on 100 design studies for such a vehicle. "Retractable hardtops are disappearing from the market now, and to be honest that's not something I mind," Bischoff said. He went on to say room for a larger convertible exists in VW's lineup, but admitted there is an issue with where to produce it, since all of the carmaker's current factories are running at full capacity. Discontinuing the Eos makes sense, as sales are down 17.8 percent during the first 10 months of 2012 compared to the same period last year, at 5,529 sales. What's more, there is some overlap with the Beetle,...

Surprisingly, the new 2.5L won't have much of an adverse effect on fuel economy: FWD, automatic-transmission 2014 CX-5 models will be rated at 32 mpg on the highway regardless of which engine is equipped.

Ferrari's V8: 348/F355 - 2013 Fast Cars News

A model which got off to a somewhat rocky start, but would evolve into greatness. The 348 was also a Ferrari. That's really about all there is to say about it. It was a car which made big improvements to how Ferrari's sports cars were built, but still came up seriously short on power. But the 348 would give birth to the F355, considered one of the greatest sports cars built by marque. The transition from 328 to 348 to F355 shows how hard Ferrari had to work to bring itself up after the success of the mid-eighties gave way to the slump of the early Nineties. As the car's name implies, the 348 used a 3.4-liter V8. Source: Carb...
