GM to build Cadillacs outside the U.S.

General Motors CEO Dan Akerson said Tuesday that the company plans to begin building Cadillacs outside the United States by the end of 2012 as part of its plan to make GM's premium brand a true global nameplate. Akerson said overseas Cadillac production would reduce the risk of foreign-currency fluctuations and allow GM to better manage its supply chain. Although Cadillac long has been sold in China and other international markets, it's produced only in North America.

First nine 'Legends of Bugatti' Veyron are all sold out

Seems like a lot of the world's wealthiest auto fanatics/premium lifestyle enthusiasts can't wait to find out what the successor to the awe-inspiring Bugatti Veyron will look like. Knowing full well that the automaker won't start working on its next seven-figure neck-snapper until the remaining stock of Veyrons is accounted for, they've been eating up the cars like they're going out of style: Bugatti says the nine examples of its "Legends of Bugatti" series produced so far have been sold. That's despite a roughly $3 million per-car sticker price.

MG CS SUV Concept heading for Shanghai Motor Show

MG are still struggling to make much of an impact on the car landscape, but one car that could change that is a funky urban crossover / SUV to give cars like the Nissan Juke a run for their money. That looked to be on the cards last year when MG turned up at the Beijing Motor Show with the MG Icon, an SUV.Crossover Concept that took the ‘Ugly but Cute’ style cues from the Juke but grafted on a nose that looked like it could have come from MG’s sports car past. The Icon was a decent effort – and even won an award for ‘Best Concept’ at Beijing from Autoweek – but it looks like MG has decided the design of the Icon was just a bit too radical, so they’ve toned it down with a new concept heading for this year’s Shanghai Motor Show – the MG CS Concept.
