Who needs them damn new-fangled computers?This week's COTW is short and sweet, from Kah-Nut in response to Photo Gallery: 2012 Chicago Auto Show:

"The winner, for me, in the group is Kia: the underdog shows the big money how to do it."

2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible at the 2012 Chicago Auto ShowThe Chicago Auto Show bills itself as the nation's largest and oldest auto show, although it's usually the smallest in terms of world premieres and concepts. This year, 13 new vehicles and one concept car were revealed at Chicago, but what the introductions lack in quantity, they make up for in quality. I didn't get to the show this year, but I had spies on the ground and I have photos of the new products and concept shown in Chicago. -- Aaron Gold

Test drive: 2012 Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupe

2012 Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupe

A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed my first four-cylinder BMW, the two-liter 528i, and marvelled that such a small engine could motivate such a big car. Hot on the heels of the 528i came the new four-cylinder Mercedes, the 1.8 liter C250. Did Mercedes' four impress me as much as BMW's? Yes and no -- but there's a whole lot more to like in this new-and-improved C than just the engine. Get the whole story in my 2012 Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupe test drive. -- Aaron Gold

Test drive: 2012 Toyota Prius c

2012 Toyota Prius c

I am probably the only automotive journalist who genuinely likes the Honda Insight, although I've always thought that if Toyota launched an entry-level hybrid, they could easily blow my beloved Honda clear out of the water. We're about to find out if I'm right, because Toyota has just introduced the compact Prius c, a smaller alternative to the regular Prius priced well under $20,000. Is this the end of the line for the Insight? Find out in my 2012 Toyota Prius c review. -- Aaron Gold
