Redesigned 2013 Honda Accord aims to lead in safety, fuel economy

The redesigned 2013 Honda Accord will go on sale this fall with a shorter overall length, a new engine family and a continuously variable transmission--huge engineering changes for a signature car that has slipped against mid-sized rivals. Honda released the first images of the production version of the Accord sedan and coupe on Wednesday but provided few additional details about the cars. The 2013 sedan--weighing less than the outgoing model, but with more passenger and cargo room--features nearly flush windshield glass, flush-mounted windshield wipers and available LED daytime running lights, headlights and taillights.

Chris Evans’ LaFerrari charity drives at Top Gear track (video)

The LaFerrari of Chris Evans at the Top Gear Track There are two sorts of car collectors in the world, those who buy rare and classic cars as investments that are kept locked away in climate-controlled garages, and those who use them and, in rare cases, share them.

As the first UK owner of the LaFerrari supercar, Chris Evans has added Maranello’s latest and finest to a car collection that ranges from the sublime to the even more sublime.

Lutz's Cadillac puts on a better show than Lutz

General Motors Co.'s marketing chief dons his monogrammed helmet and puts Cadillac's 550-horsepower sedan through some warm-up laps at Monticello Motor Club, a members-only track. In what might have passed as a dismissible moment of Lutz braggadocio, "Maximum" Bob has challenged anyone with a four-door sedan to beat his 2010 CTS-V. Though not a showman by trade, Lutz is bankable for amusing, bald-faced assessments of his employer, his critics and the auto industry at large.
