Spy Shots: Opel Adam a.k.a. Junior a.k.a. Allegra caught on the ‘Ring

Filed under: Spy Photos, Budget, Paris Motor Show, Hatchback, Opel, Vauxhall The new Opel minicar has been so long in gestation that it has worn three names (so far). From the Junior and Allegra, we are now being told that it will now be called the Opel Adam, no doubt a nod to company founder Adam Opel. Still clothed in enough camo to hide a barn, we can’t...

Filed under: Spy Photos, Coupe, Performance, Europe, Audi, Electric Imagine you’re a spy shooter at the Nürburgring. You’ve got your ancient Ford Scorpio parked nearby, but you’ve hoofed it up to the top of a hill in the hopes of getting the perfect angle on the track.

Spy Shots: 2013 SRT Viper looking fly in yellow?

Filed under: Spy Photos, Coupe, Performance We’ve already seen the production-ready 2013 SRT Viper. In fact, we named it Best In Show after it officially debuted at the 2012 New York Auto Show earlier this month.

Spy Shots: Fiat 500L seven-seater spotted

Filed under: Spy Photos, Design/Style We like the small Fiat 500 a lot, but we’re not so fond of the upsized version Fiat is planning. When the five-door 500L debuted at Geneva, calling it homely was being generous, indeed. We can’t deny the logic in offering a more family friendly 500, however. But a size-large seven-seater? This quite literally...

Spy Shots: Audi testing new RS6 Avant at the Nürburgring… so what’s under the hood?

Filed under: Spy Photos, Performance, Wagon, Europe, Audi When a company like Audi debuts a new model line, enthusiasts know it brings with it the promise of a high-performance muscle-beast to follow. And so is the case with the A6 leading to the RS6. The first RS6 packed a twin-turbo V8 good for 444 horsepower, and the second-generation model had a 571-horse...
