2012 Chevrolet Volt: Super Green, With Shades Of Luxury
Let’s get this out of the way right up front: the 2012 Chevrolet Volt is a stunner.
Haters may gripe about the price (we’ll get to that in a minute), or they can complain about the loans that Chevy’s parent company, General Motors, received from the Bush and Obama administrations in 2008-09 (been there, done that, get over it). But there is absolutely no denying that the Volt is an amazing ride.

2013 Acura RLX Concept: Luxurious, Sporty, And Green
The RL has always had a hard time fitting in. Much like people you might have known in high school. Trying to hang with the popular crowd but always falling short. The current RL is satisfactory, but in a group filled with the latest and greats from Lexus, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Infiniti, it’s tough to demand some spotlight. The 2013 RLX-concept is Acura’s latest attempt to fit into the large luxury sedan category.

2012 Toyota Prius C: Sex Doesn’t Always Sell
I’m driving the Toyota Prius c in Florida and thinking about lunch, and the gorgeous stretch of beach off to my right, and also the fact I should hit the gym because beach season is almost here. Basically, I’m doing exactly what most owners of the Prius c will do: not think about the driving dynamics.

I’m zipping through the swamps and across the bayous that dot southern Louisiana, and I look across at my husband, nestled snugly in the passenger’s seat, and I say, “Wow.”

Ladies and gentlemen: welcome to Friday. Please remain in your cubicle until the pilot has turned off the “fasten seatbelt” sign or until the boss skips out for a quick nine holes before dinner. (Whichever comes first.)

Pet Day At The 2012 New York International Auto Show
If you visited the Javits Center yesterday, you know that the fur was a-flying at the 2012 New York International Auto Show. To celebrate National Pet Day, dogs, cats, and other non-human companions were on the floor, barking and growling and hissing their approval (or maybe that was disapproval) at many new car models.

Gay-Friendly Brands Sweep KBB’s Brand Image Awards At 2012 The New York Auto Show
The 2012 New York International Auto Show has spawned a lot of noteworthy news items. While our man in the field is sorting through all the reveals and press conferences, we’d like to report on a slightly different story coming out of the Javits Convention Center: the 2012 Brand Image Awards, presented yesterday by Kelley Blue Book.

Lincoln Sponsors Herb Ritts Retrospective At J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles
In the 1980s and 1990s, you weren’t a star unless you’d been photographed by Herb Ritts. As portrait photographers go, few artists — maybe Diane Arbus, possibly Alfred Stieglitz — have been able to capture personalities in 1/100th of a second as well as Ritts did.
