We'll Always Have Paris; TheCarConnection.com Offers the Most Complete, Live Coverage of the Season's Most Important Auto Show, Including Exclusive Previews Starting Today! Then See Why SUV Sales are Slipping and Jaguar Wields the Axe

DETROIT, Sept. 20 -- It's just days away -- but why wait for the crowds to converge in Paris for the season's most important auto show, when TheCarConnection.com will take you there now for a complete preview of dozens of hot news sedans, coupes, wagons, sports cars and crossovers from the world's leading automakers. And join TCC all week for continuing coverage of the Paris Motor Show, including live reports on Thursday and Friday press days.

You'll find the definitive word on the next-generation Porsche Boxster, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Ferrari F430, Audi A4 and Volkswagen GTI. This year's Mondial de l'Automobile also launches two stylish new sports tourers from Mercedes-Benz, the BMW 1 and 320 CD, and, as you'd expect, an assortment of stylish entries from the automakers of France.

Is it possible? Could the sport-utility vehicle actually be on the way out? While the SUV isn't likely to vanish anytime soon, sales have taken an unexpected tumble in recent weeks, and TheCarConnection reveals what's happening.

Then get the inside story on the shake-up at Jaguar. The automaker is getting ready to close its "spiritual home" at Brown's Lane. But is that enough to halt mounting losses?

In environmental news: is the diesel engine an energy savior or cancer demon? TCC explores the data to see if there's enough evidence to clear the controversial diesel.

Revolution? No evolution. Mitsubishi Evolution MR, to be more precise. And TheCarConnection takes one for a high-speed spin. Check the review this week, along with spy shots of the groundbreaking Subaru Tribeca and VW Golf R32.
