Volkswagen has just unveiled its 2011 Touareg for the first time in the States, giving us Americans a chance to see the slimmed down SUV and its hybrid sibling that we first saw at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month. This second generation Touareg will still have a diesel option, but for those who like to feel even better about themselves while they gently crush wildflowers in the Arctic National Preserve, there’s also a hybrid model offered for the first time in a VW SUV. The hybrid... 

After releasing the first teaser on Friday, Hyundai revealed today the all-new 2011 Sonata Hybrid at the New York Auto Show. The new car carries the Hyundai-developed Hybrid Blue Drive architecture which is a full parallel hybrid drive system. With this system the car can operate on an electric motors, gasoline internal combustion engine or , as you imagined, using a combination of those two. The new system uses lithium polymer battery technology – leapfrogging competitive in-market nickel-metal... 

An example of the PEP Station – the charging stations from Michigan-based company PEP Stations – is on display at the New York Auto Show this week, giving potential electric vehicle (EV) drivers the chance to see what their potential public power outlets will look like.

When we take a hard look at the current Lincoln lineup, we see some issues. For starters, the Navigator, MKS, MKT, MKX and MKZ aren’t exactly setting the sales charts on fire. Come to think of it, we just listed the entire Lincoln lineup. Okay, so Ford’s luxury marquee can easily be likened to a well-heeled slice of Swiss cheese, but we have proof that The Blue Oval is trying to breath new life into the brand. We loved the MKT, the 2011 MKX looks extremely promising and it looks like...

We believe the Sonata hybrid will retain the same 2.4-liter direct injected... 

At the 2010 New York Auto Show will be where the all-new 2011 Porsche Cayenne will make its North American debut. What this means is that this technically advanced Cayenne S Hybrid will arrive in local showrooms before the year ends. Typically, the situation had been that the US doesn’t get the ‘niche’ models like hybrids and diesels. US fans who were waiting for the Cayenne Diesel to arrive will be disappointed as there are still no plans for its arrival but maybe the almost-as-efficient...
