	First Look: 2013 Audi A2 Audi is determined to become the world's number one premium carmaker, and the only way the brand can reach this goal is by entering new segments of the market which generate plenty of added volume. True, there is still some potential to be drawn from new niche models such as the A7 Sportback, but the big numbers are created elsewhere-for example, by extending the A3 family (with a sedan that should do well in the U.S. market), by getting the new A1 range on the road (sales start this summer in Europe), and by reviving the A2. The European-market A2 was the brand's first try at a minicompact. Its sophisticated lightweight aluminum spaceframe architecture was great for fuel economy but it saddled the little Audi with a premium price tag, and sales never reached expectations. Since being discontinued, the car's reputation, however, has grown, and hopes are high for the new version. more CLICK TO READ MORE | CLICK TO SEE PHOTOS		Six Sweet Six-Figure Corvettes The ZR1 isn't your only choice for $100k+. more Small Car Comparison: SX4 Sportback vs Mini vs GTI Are the luxury features worth it? more BMW 550i Gran Turismo vs. Porsche Panamera S A new vehicle category. more 2010 Mazda RX-8 R3 One of our favorite coupes. more

	First Drive: 2011 Buick Regal At The Nurburgring Today was the fourth time I've driven on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, the famously challenging, 13-mile racetrack in the Eifel Mountains of Germany. I had only two laps, but they were among the best I've had there, and they were in the unlikeliest of cars: the new 2011 Buick Regal. Yep, a Buick at the 'Ring. Who woulda thunk? This was Automobile Magazine's first time behind the wheel of a production-spec version of the new Regal, which is now rolling off the assembly line at GM's Opel plant in Russelsheim, Germany, and goes on sale in May. The Regal is the product of a global vehicle-development program headed up by GM veteran engineer Jim Federico that already has produced the Buick LaCrosse for both the United States and China and the Regal for China, where it went on sale more than a year ago. The Regal is built on the latest version of the Epsilon platform that also underpins the Chevy Malibu and the Opel Insignia and was largely designed and engineered by GM's Opel unit, but the Detroit-based Federico orchestrated the entire development process, so this is nothing like the Opel Astra that was handed over to the now-defunct Saturn division with a batch of replacement badges that were to magically transform it into a Saturn. Nope, the 2011 Buick Regal is much more than that. more CLICK TO READ MORE | CLICK TO SEE PHOTOS		Camber Tires: Tires Get Tipsy Radical camber angles thrust tires into the 21st Century. more First Drive: 2011 Ford Fiesta One for the cynics. more The Pawn Stars' 1966 Imperial Crown Convertible As Seen on TV. more 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 An adorable throwback. more
