Cadillac ELR – a posh Chevy Volt: 2013 Detroit Auto Show

The Cadillac ELR – a range extender Cadillac with the running gear from the Chevrolet Volt – has been revealed at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Joining the Chevrolet Volt and Vauxhall Ampera as the third version of GM’s range-extender pitch at the EV market, the two-door Cadillac ELR is a convincing looking offering with swoopy looks, wheels at the corners, a great big nose (that can close for better aerodynamics), dramatic LED headlights, steeply raked screen and lots of sharp creases. The interior of the ELR looks as appealing as the exterior, with lashings of decent leather, digital instruments, Bose sound with noise cancellation, carbon inserts and even powered cupholders.

Watch a Volvo find its own parking spot

Cars that can navigate into a preselected parking spot have been around for a few years now, and they've proven that under the right conditions they can pull it off successfully most of the time.

Volvo is about to show a car that can do just that, and it manages this feat without an array of sensors on the roof that make the car look like a military aircraft.

Bring a Trailer exclusive: 1970 BMW 2800CS

There's nothing like a little vintage kink courtesy of Herr Hofmeister to make Thursday a little brighter, particularly when it's blended with the low beltline and tall greenhouse of a gorgeous 1970 BMW 2800CS. Our friends at Bring a Trailer got the lead on this Temecula, Calif.-based E9 loaded with upgrades to turn it in to what we'd imagine is a spectacular driver. Alpina-style 16-inch wheels?
