First Look: 2011 Ford Edge
2011 Ford Edge - 2010 Chicago Auto Show Coverage, New Car Reviews, Concept Cars - Automobile Magazine
Ford thoroughly re-worked the Edge for the 2011 model year.

Ford's Edge has proven to be rather successful for the company, but as deputy editor Joe DeMatio wrote upon its launch, the model did "little to advance the art of the segment in which it competes." That may have been "business as usual" for the Ford Motor Company of yesteryear, but it isn't the case now. Ford thoroughly re-worked the Edge for the 2011 model year, and the technology, powertrain, and handling improvements packed into the new model could be enough to push the Edge to the head of its class.inline_mediumwraptextright32275269/features/news/1002_2011_ford_edge1002_01_z+2011_ford_edge+side_view.jpgTrue

To celebrate 40 years of the Z cars, Nissan is bringing a special edition model known as the 2010 Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition to the U.S.

Four decades ago, a little Datsun with a long hood and a bullet-proof straight six showed us that sports cars didn't have to be big and they didn't have to come from Detroit or Germany. To celebrate 40 years of the Z cars, Nissan is bringing a special edition model known as the 2010 Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition to the U.S.inline_mediumwraptextright28062304/features/news/1002_2010_nissan_370z_40th_anniversary_edition2010-nissan-370z-40th-anniversary-side-view.jpgTrue

There aren't many visual reminders that the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks are virtually all new beneath the sheetmetal.

There aren't many visual reminders that the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks are virtually all new beneath the sheetmetal. If we were talking about a midsize sedan that might be a problem, but truck owners will be happy all the development money went into a new Duramax engine, an all-new frame, and significant upgrades to payload and towing capacities instead of new body panels.

Kia Ray Concept - 2010 Chicago Auto Show Coverage, New Car Reviews, Concept Cars - Automobile Magazine
The Ray is a four-door, four-seat, plug-in hybrid based on the Kia Forte platform.

As the environmentally-friendly car wars continue to heat up, Kia has been quietly working up its own assault dubbed "EcoDynamics." With a fuel cell vehicle, a natural gas-powered model and a hybrid under its belt already, Kia's fuel efficiency division is stepping up its game with a plug-in parallel hybrid concept vehicle called "Ray" which is making its debut at the 2010 Chicago auto show.inline_mediumwraptextright32239407/green/news/1002_kia_ray_conceptkia-ray-concept-front-three-quarter.jpgTrue

Toyota wants people to think about traveling in "Avalon Class" when shopping for a large front-wheel drive premium sedan. The changes to Toyota's big sedan are fairly minor, but Toyota promises it will be enough to give the Avalon better positioning.inline_mediumwraptextright32269125/features/news/1002_2011_toyota_avalon2011-toyota-avalon-front-three-quarters-view.jpgTrue

Ambivalent about minivans? If so, Honda is gunning for your business. In addition to those who love and hate the family-friendly haulers, the automaker says there's a third, distinct segment of consumers who appreciate the utility of a van, but loathe their stodgy image.inline_mediumwraptextright32269329/features/news/1002_2011_honda_odyssey_concept1002_02_z+2011_honda_odyssey_concept+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

Look for the updated 2011 Azera to arrive at Hyundai dealers this spring.

Although it's been eclipsed by the Genesis sedan and the forthcoming Equus, there's still room in Hyundai's lineup for a smaller, front-wheel-drive luxury sedan. To counter the likes of the Buick LaCrosse, Lexus ES350, and Toyota Avalon, Hyundai's gifted the Azera range with some modest updates for 2011.inline_mediumwraptextright32266788/features/news/1002_2011_hyundai_azera2011-hyundai-azera-front-motion.jpgTrue

The parade of updated 2011 Ford Mustangs will march on at the Chicago auto show with the Shelby GT500.

The parade of updated 2011 Ford Mustangs will march on at the Chicago auto show with the Shelby GT500 receiving a handful of revisions highlighted by a new aluminum block for the 5.4-liter engine. By switching from iron to aluminum, Ford engineers have shaved an impressive 102 pounds from the engine's weight. There's also an upsized intercooler that lowers intake temperatures and a new exhaust that delivers a heartier growl. Those two changes allow output to rise 10 hp to 550 hp while torque remains unchanged at 510 lb-ft. A six-speed manual is still the only transmission.inline_mediumwraptextright32275311/features/news/1002_2011_ford_shelby_gt5001002_01_z+2011_ford_shelby_gT500+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
