Filed under: Chicago Auto Show, Concept Cars, Classics, Sedan

The true jewels of most auto shows are often hidden, requiring a bit more legwork to find. During our third pass of the Chicago Auto Show, we stumbled upon a display from the Classic Car Club of America. Tucked away in a corner behind low aluminum railing, [...]

Filed under: Concept Cars, Performance, Hatchback, Kia

It’s not like we needed any more reason to like the Soul, but Kia went ahead and debuted the Track’ster concept at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show anyway. The Track’ster is a three-door, all-wheel-drive, 250-hp version of the cute and quirky urban Soul that we hope gets green lights [...]

Filed under: Concept Cars, Motorcycle, UK, Design/Style

We don’t envy the designers who pen bikes for the likes of Triumph or Harley-Davidson. Machines like the Bonneville and Sportster are inherently popular for their nostalgic looks, and die-hard fans are the first to cry foul when the bikes wander too far from the original recipe. As the [...]

Nissan is headed to the Geneva Motor Show in March with a brand new hatchback concept. Called Invitation, this five-door should give us an idea of what the Japanese manufacturer has planned for its next B-segment contender. The concept borrows a bit from the [...]

Filed under: Concept Cars, Geneva Motor Show, Hatchback, Suzuki, Design/Style

The Suzuki Regina concept shown at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Show was an unusual little car. We don’t want to get our hopes up about production (especially since we’d probably never get it in America anyway), but the Regina will return to the spotlight at the [...]

Filed under: Chicago Auto Show, Concept Cars, Budget, Wagon, Hatchback, Kia, Design/Style

Things are shaping up nicely for next week’s Chicago Auto Show, key among them this new Kia concept called Track’ster. Riffing on the Korean automaker’s hit Soul compact, the Track’ster keeps much of the small car’s boxy style, but turns the wick up considerably [...]

In true Honda fashion, we’re once again presented with a “concept” car that’s only a set of wheels and a de-Bedazzling away from being production-ready. What you’re looking at here is the concept that previews the next-generation Accord that will be dropping later this year, ready [...]
