SANTA MONICA, California — After the launch of the all-new 2011 Jaguar XJ sedan this spring, speculation has been that Jag's next move would be a coupe version of the full-size luxury liner, which would take on the Mercedes CL-Class and Bentley Continental GT. These reports are false. The XJ Coupe ain't happening. But the smaller C-Type convertible has been given the green light and will soon ba... more.

Isuzu has taken the styling cues from its VehiCROSS and applied them to the Amigo and Rodeo to create the Amigo VX and Rodeo VX concept vehicles.

2010 Hummer H2/H2 SUT: If the Tengzhong deal goes through, production of the H2 is expected to resume during the first quarter of 2010.

Honda occasionally busts out with a truly crazy concept vehicle worthy of the "concept" moniker. You know, something transparent, powered by rabid squirrels, that also flies.

Honda did just that at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show with the... more.
