Audi unveiled the convertible R8 at Frankfurt – the Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro. We have pictures from the show and video. I think we were perhaps a bit dismissive about the Audi R8 Spyder when we reported on it on Tuesday. Or perhaps we were just starting to get snowed under with Frankfurt […]

Lexus has updated the GS450h for 2010 with styling tweaks, new technology and a new pre-crash safety system. We seem to have missed this one somewhere along the line.
