Show: Tokyo

Hydrogen cars are almost here. Expect this thing to cost about $50k when it goes on sale.

Show: LA

We might have ragged on the new WRX a bit, but it's still a new WRX, and for the first time ever the interior doesn't look like it was outsourced to Fisher Price. And you already know how we feel about the Legacy Concept. 

Show: LA

Okay, there's nothing really too amazing about this. We're just happy to see that Chevy isn't abandoning the reasonably sized truck segment.

Show: LA

Kia, a brand that was once known primarily for making dirt-cheap cars that weren't worth their tiny sticker prices, has just unveiled its attractive take on a V6 or V8-powered luxury sedan. We're impressed.

Show: Tokyo

Lexus is starting to get seriously sexy. We think this looks better than the BMW 4-Series by a wide margin.

Show: Tokyo

On one hand, there's not going to be a Subaru WRX hatchback, which makes us very sad, but on the other hand this exists. Why can't this just be a bit shorter and be called WRX?

Show: LA

It's a Wranger with a bunch of off-road upgrades and some old school Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) styling.

Show: Both

7:08.697: It would be an impressive 'ring time for a $500,000 car, but this will ring up for less than $200k. Very impressive.

Show: LA

Yeah, it's just a paint color, but it looks fantastic.

Show: LA

Here's the small AMG with a hatch that will come to America. We'd rather have the A45, but we'll take what we can get.

Show: LA

How much does this option package cost?

Show: LA

The Macan looks like it will certainly be more fun than the Cayenne. 

Show: Tokyo

Just pretend that it's called "Datsun 510" and you'll get exited about this lightweight sportscar too. It's weird, and Dodge might take issue with those two red stripes in a rhombus shape, but we really like it.

Show: LA

We're sad that the SLS AMG is on its way out, but we're happy to see that it's going out with a bang.

Show: Tokyo

This body, which looks like the hybrid of Japanese and Italian style that one would expect from former Pininfarina director Ken Okuyama houses a 370 hp 2.0L supercharged I4 from Honda. We want.

Show: Tokyo

Pros: It's a Subaru BRZ Shooting Break, which is exactly the kind of car we like to whine for while maintaining no hope it will ever actually exist.

Cons: It's lifted, has plastic body cladding, and has a CVT. What the hell is the point of all of that? We just want a car that has the same low center of gravity as the BRZ but with more rear leg room and cargo capacity.

Show: Tokyo

We think the Deltawing race car is amazing, and we're absolutely thrilled to hear that the Deltawing-inspired Bladeglider concept is actually going to production.

Show: LA

You can manage both 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds and 75 mpg in this incredible $950,000 hypercar from Porsche, just probably not at the same time.

Show: Both

Not only did Jaguar drop our jaws with the gorgeous F-Type coupe, but a 550 hp R version was unveiled too. We are in love.

Show: LA

We love this crazy, crazy machine, and wish that AMG would at least make 10 of them and sell them to Dubai's richest for $12 Mil a pop or something equally ludicrous.
