It has something to prove. At first blush, this new Beetle?don?t call it the New Beetle?appears to be a GTI wearing a puffy jacket, packing as it does the same 200-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and six-speed dual-clutch automatic. And the racy wheels, rear spoiler, and brassy ?Turbo? badge push the image of a car eager [...]

We considered putting together a holiday gift guide this year, but thought it would be much more fun to give gifts ourselves than recommend what should be given to others. So we rounded up some of our favorite products from the past year and will spend the following week handing them out to you in Six Days of Giveaways.
We’re kicking things off with the Meguiar’s New Car Kit (Facebook, Twitter), which includes Meguiar’s Ultimate Wash & Wax, ultra plush microfiber wash mitt & Water Magnet microfiber drying towel, Meguiar’s Ultimate Liquid Wax with a soft foam applicator and Supreme Shine Microfiber Towel, and Endurance Tire Gel & applicator. And we’ve got four of these kits to give away.

The team has signed Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean for 2012, the Frenchman replacing Vitaly Petrov, who was believed to have significant financial backing. Boullier says having signed two drivers that will not bring big financial support to the team is a strategy aimed at building a better future for the outfit

“Wouldn’t it be cool to do something outrageous inside [our old headquarters] before all the walls finally came down?”
Why yes, Hyundai, it would.
“Why not put Rhys Millen, his Genesis Coupe drift car, and our abandoned HQ together for a unique drift demonstration in a unique industrial setting?”
Sounds like a great idea! And so we have the video after the break.
Sure, there’s more than a bit of B-movie-spec scripting and acting talent. But, as Ken Block has proven time and again, all you need is a talented driver with a hot car plus plenty of tire smoke to make yourself some YouTube gold. See it all shake down in the video after the break.

Hyundai has decided to drop a little gift ahead of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Yes, we said Geneva, which means this teaser comes a full three months before the curtains drop on its official debut.
In any case, the Korean automaker says the I-oniq “will preview the next evolution of the brand’s ‘fluidic sculpture’ form language,” and that its two strong arched curves create “a playful contrast between the sharp character lines and soft but muscular features.” Who are we to argue?
Based on this image alone, it’s hard to say whether this is a hatchback, a shooting brake, a crossover of sorts or even a four-door coupe in the vein of the Mercedes-Benz CLS. See an enlarged version of the teaser by clicking on the image above, and stay tuned for more information on the Hyundai I-oniq as we get closer to its Geneva debut.

Here we go again, boys and girls. One day after a couple grainy black-and-white brochure shots of the new 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL leaked out early, a massive stash of official shots has hit the web via GermanCarForum.com.
We still can’t say what powertrains Mercedes-Benz plans to put under the SL’s stately hood, but we do know those horses will be saddled with 308 fewer pounds to move around. That can only mean good things for driving dynamics.
What we can say with certainty, though, is that the 2013 SL bears a completely new look that draws inspiration from its smaller SLK sibling and the SLS AMG supercar. Note the upright grille, the shape of the light clusters and the overall boxier sheetmetal.
We like what we see inside the big Benz – there’s a nice mix of modern materials, leather and genuine wood trim, plus what will surely be a boatload of technology thrown in for good measure.
Pricing, as you would imagine, is unavailable as of yet. While we wait for the proper time to publish all the details, satiate your curiosity with the high-res image gallery above. And remember, you’ll get the chance to see it live at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.

Filed under: Hybrid, Sedan, Fisker, Luxury
When you’re starting up a new luxury automaker – especially a high-end one – it’s easy for prices to quickly escalate beyond their anticipated targets. And that’s just what’s happened with the Fisker Karma.
Way back when (in 2008), the upstart automaker was talking about selling the Karma for $80,000. Then, the initial base MSRP was set at $87,900 until Fisker raised prices again – and began taking orders – for its hybrid luxury at $95,900. As of this Thursday, even this price will jump by some six percent to $102,000.
That’s for the base Eco Standard model, while the top Eco Chic trim level will now sell for $116,000. Those who put down deposits at the previous prices, however, will have another month to firm up their orders to get theirs at the original rate.
