Diesel isn't just for school buses and semis anymore. But of course, you'll know that if you're an Audi or Volkswagen fan. Volkswagen boasts no less than five TDI models, and Mishawaka drivers love the Audi A3 and Q7 models with clean-burning TDI engines. Chances are, if you've seen or ridden in a TDI version of any of these cars, you didn't even notice - they burn cleaner and are more...

Ward's Autoworld is well known for their 10 Best Engines list. And if you're familiar with that, you're probably familiar with their Interior of the Year award, which used to go to just one car for the entire year. The thing is - with new technology and features consistently being churned out by major automakers, it's became a bit difficult for Ward's to pick just one interior. As of last year...

So maybe it looks a bit different than the rest of the sleekly-designed new Mercedes-Benz models, but the Mercedes-Benz Vito E-Cell is nothing short of a beautifully styled, hardworking electric vehicle. The automaker arrived at the Geneva Motor Show with a transparent version of the seven-passenger van that showcased all of the major strides being made in the EV industry.

Mercedes-Benz says of the Vito E-Cell, "[It's the] first seven-seater vehicle worldwide to offer...

By this time next year, you'll be able to drop by the Gurley Leep Motor Werks showroom to take a spin in the all-new Audi A3. But, then, we make that sound simpler than it really is, because - by this time next year, the Audi A3 will be available with an updated 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine.

It wasn't even a year ago now that the very first American-built 2012 Volkswagen Passat rolled off the production line in Chattanooga, TN. But, by early in February of this year, workers gathered to celebrated the completion of the 50,000^th Passat.

Frank Fischer, CEO and Chair of Volkswagen Chattanooga says of the milestone, "An incredible amount of care goes into each vehicle we produce in Chattanooga. Producing 50,000 cars at this…

It seems vampire culture is all the rage lately. From romance novels to the silver screen to primetime television, we've seen Dracula do a lot of crazy things. But imagine if all we had to do to vanquish them from the earth is singe them with super-bright LED headlights? Well that's exactly what Audi did during the Super Bowl this year, and we just couldn't help but laugh.

The idea of a party of Vampires gathering...

Even after 60 years on the market, the Mercedes-Benz SL isn't showing its age - as a matter of fact, we think it looks younger than ever before. Unveiled at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detoir, the 2013 SL is built almost entirely out of aluminum, making it a very trim and captivating luxury car.

For the sixth generation of the SL-Class, Mercedes-Benz trimmed 275 pounds off its frame. What does this...

We're not going to lie to you here, during last year's Super Bowl, a small boy in a Darth Vader costume stole our hearts. And if you saw the 30-second spot for the all-new Volkswagen Passat, you'd probably have a hard time disagreeing with us, right? Millions of people watched as a pint-sized Vader tried to use The Force on anything and everything in his house...

There's just something about the Audi A6 isn't there? Available with a 350-hp V8 engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and the Audi Quattro AWD system, it's hard to find something about any of the trim levels that we don't like. It's been grabbing positive attention from critics for years, but this year, its ultra-lightweight, aluminum-hybrid body has helped to add two prestigious awards to its already impressive list of honors...
