Auctions: Barrett-Jackson 2012: Dukes of Hazzard 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee falls flat [UPDATE: w/video]

Filed under: Classics , Auctions , Celebrities What’s “the most famous television car in the world”? We suppose that depends on who you ask, but to many, nothing but the General Lee could possibly hold the title. Of course, there wasn’t just one General Lee. In fact, scores of orange Dodge Chargers were filmed for “The Dukes of Hazzard,” and most of them never survived their first televised escapade

Official: 2013 Lexus LX 570 price increased to $81,805*

Filed under: Car Buying , SUV , Marketing/Advertising , Lexus , Toyota , Luxury A new Lexus LX 570 is going to set you back nearly $82k after you add $875 delivery to its $80,930 base price. The luxury version of the Toyota Land Cruiser wears a new Lexus spindle grille , one that’s big enough to make Rumplestiltskin proud, and it has revised front and rear fascias among the other upgrades that Lexus says justify its 1.9-percent price increase. Among the other new-for-2013 features are an updated Crawl Control mode and terrain-select for the all-wheel-drive system, because what Lexus owner doesn’t enjoy serious rock-crawling? A new multimedia system with the next-generation Lexus Enform system is also part of the deal, which seems much more in line with real-world customer behavior, as Enform allows drivers to use Facebook and Yelp, among other services

First Look: 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Toyota’s Iconic SUV Adds Coin and Creature Comforts Today’s version of the Toyota Land Cruiser may still be a capable off-roader like the original, but that and the name is about all they have in common. Over the years, the Land Cruiser has grown — physically and philosophically — into a luxo-barge with a wallet-busting price tag north of $69,000. For the 2013 model year, the Land Cruiser gets a few updates and yet another price bump — to the tune of $9000 — bringing the total to $78,765 including the $810 destination fee.

Official: Toyota unveils updated 2013 Land Cruiser

Filed under: Detroit Auto Show , SUV , Toyota For a country that loves (or, at least, loved ) sport utility vehicles, the Toyota Land Cruiser has certainly slipped to the back of our minds. It carries one of the most iconic go-anywhere, do-anything nameplates in the industry, and yet in 2011, only 1,662 Land Cruisers were sold here in the United States, making it one of the ten worst-selling vehicles of the year . But since the vehicle’s product cycles are largely dictated by other markets where it’s more popular, the big Toy continues to carry on, and for the 2013 model year, there are a host of new updates. Slight visual tweaks to the exterior include the addition of LED running lamps up front, as well as HID low-beam headlamps and a refreshed grille.
