Looks like: A villain from the "Transformers" movies Defining characteristics: Coupe profile with four doors, gaping grille, mostly glass roof Ridiculous features: Slitlike side mirrors, white bucket seats Chance of being mass-produced: Mazda says the Shinari is only a design study, but we wouldn't be surprised if elements of it  –  especially the front grille  –  find their way to Mazda production cars. The Shinari concept car is a vision of what a four-door Mazda sports... Detailt »»

Two weeks ago, we showed you a sneak peek at the new 2011 Dodge Durango SUV, and now Dodge has provided more photos and a little more information.

It's no secret that the Durango is based on the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee,... Detailt »»

The 2011 Jeep Liberty has been available to customers for a while now, with 1,497 vehicles on sale on Cars.com , but the automaker hasn’t released any information in terms of updates to the model for the media’s consumption or on its consumer website.

New EPA Labels a Step in the Right Direction

Last Updated on Monday, 30 August 2010 08:26 Written by Ngọc Ánh Monday, 30 August 2010 08:26

The new mileage stickers under consideration by the EPA that we detailed earlier today may face some challenges in the future, but they are a good first step in addressing alternative-fuel vehicles going on sale later this year.   For starters, offering an “annual electric cost” figure, much like one would find on a new refrigerator, is an excellent idea. We’ve said for some time that cost-per-mile figure would allow consumers to make an apples-to-apples comparison against gas-powered... Detailt »»

EPA Debuts New Mileage Sticker Designs

Last Updated on Monday, 30 August 2010 07:37 Written by Ngọc Ánh Monday, 30 August 2010 07:37

One of the two designs you see above and below will adorn future cars’ window stickers. The revisions are spurred by the introduction of alternative-fuel vehicles including electrics, plug-in hybrids and others, and you may see them on many 2012 model year vehicles. However, there are changes even to the sticker of gas-powered cars that shoppers of a Toyota Prius or a Corvette will need to pay attention to. The sticker on the left is by far the more radical of the two, introducing not just a... Detailt »»
