The ’12 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Altitude edition is the latest Altitude model in the Jeep lineup, following the introduction of the Grand Cherokee, Compass and Patriot Altitude models last month.

These shots of the updated European Opel Insignia—a sibling of the Buick Regal—provide good indication that a facelift is on the way for the U.S. version, according to the shooters at Brenda Priddy & Co.

While it has been teased "officially" by Audi, say the shooters at Brenda Priddy & Co., here is the updated Audi R8 spotted out in the open. It will make its official debut at the Paris Motor Show later this year.

Brenda Priddy & Co. and her team of shooters spotted this three-door prototype of the upcoming BMW 1-Series.

While the Internet’s white hats have done a great job of keeping the medium’s darker forces at bay, security experts predict that the web will still remain a dangerous place for businesses in the coming year—especially those without digital smarts.

The shooters at Brenda Priddy & Co. report that Chevrolet is finishing testing and gearing up for production of the long-awaited Spark EV. The team caught these photos of a U.S. spec Spark at a local car wash.

Ford will add an EcoBoost 3.5L V-6 to the Explorer for the ’13 model year, resulting in projected fuel economy of up to 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, with at least 350 hp. With the new drivetrain, the ’13 Explorer Sport will be rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs. 

CAD files for seven GM vehicles have been added to SEMA Tech Transfer, further enhancing the data-sharing program that features thousands of files from participating OEMs—Chrysler, Ford, GM and Scion.

Dozens of manufacturers got their hands on Scion's new FR-S during last week's SEMA Scion FRS Measuring Session at Toyota's headquarters in Torrance, California. With two FR-S models on racks, and additional models available for interior and underhood measurements, manufacturers broke out tapes and scanners to grab the data and specs needed to get parts ready for a vehicle that is sure to be custom-friendly to aftermarket enthusiasts.

Taking dead aim at the driving enthusiast community, Fiat trotted out a sport version of the recently introduced Fiat 500. Legitimately tuned for the track, the Abarth (pronounced “ah-bart”) edition has 59% more horsepower and 70% more torque than the standard model.
