"It's not going to fit; it's too big." That's what she said. Nuzzled between a Scion tC and a VW New Beetle Convertible, we walk away after the all-too-familiar chore of parking a utility vehicle in a compact space. Except this time we're smiling instead of cursing. Not only did this 2010 GMC Terrain, our newest long-term test vehicle, fit into the diminutive space, but in an odd twist of lu... more.

LONDON — The Ferrari 458 Italia will be priced in the U.K. starting at £169,545, or nearly $278,000. The price includes a local value-added tax of $41,125, plus a $1,550 "road tax."

These are the heavy hitters. The big dogs. They're not playmakers or finesse artists and they don't dish out assists. If the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 is Dick Butkus snuffing out a Jim Brown thrust up the middle, then the 2010 Hennessey Performance Engineering Chevy Camaro SS HPE550 is Lawrence Taylor with radar lock on Joe Theismann's right leg. And it's not just that they're powerful and merciless,... more.

CHICAGO — In what is sure to be a polarizing color choice, Dodge on Monday unveiled the 2010 Dodge Challenger Furious Fuchsia editions that seem drawn from the lipstick color palette of Estée Lauder and Lancôme. The special-edition Challengers were revealed ahead of the 2010 Chicago Auto Show, which kicks off this week. Dodge explained that the 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and Challeng... more.

MONTEREY, California — The design is sensational, but are plans to build and market the Devon GTX at $500,000 a copy, beginning in early 2010, overly ambitious? Scott Devon, CEO of Los Angeles-based Devon Motorworks and owner of Michigan-based Cole's Frozen Foods (which bills itself as "Home of the Original Frozen Garlic Bread"), doesn't think so. Devon is already touting the GTX as the "next... more.

PITESTI, Romania — Renault's Dacia Logan family, originally designed as a low-cost vehicle range for emerging markets, continues to expand with the newest arrival, a compact utility vehicle called the Dacia Duster.

BRUSSELS — Citroën's all-new C-Zero, revealed in photographs last November, will make its public debut this week at the 2010 Brussels Auto Show. The battery-powered four-seater is a companion to the Peugeot iOn, which was released in September at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. Both are versions of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV and share that car's basic design, as well as its 63-horsepower electric m... more.

DETROIT — Neither Fiat nor Chrysler is saying exactly what the unnamed concept is in a corner of Chrysler's display at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. The front clip looks inspired by the Chrysler brand, and there's a "Chrysler" name in the front license-plate frame. But the donor car is clearly a Lancia Delta. There has been much speculation in the media about a possible sharing of vehicles betw... more.

WASHINGTON — General Motors is adding Washington, D.C., to the list of "lead retail markets" for the launch later this year of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt.

SHANGHAI, China — Chery Automobile Co. expects to sell 10,000 vehicles in Brazil by 2010 as it counts on new export markets to counter weak overseas demand elsewhere. China's seventh-largest carmaker began exporting its Tiggo sport-utility vehicle to Brazil this week as it officially set up shop in South America's biggest country. Although vehicle sales in China rebounded strongly in the f... more.
