Considering the debut will take place in Europe, don't be surprised to see a turbo diesel, plug-in hybrid powertrain under the hood. The Prologue concept that debuted in Los Angeles last year featured a 4.0-liter TFSI engine with 605 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, perfect for performance-hungry Americans.

Rumors are surfacing again that Apple is looking to take on everyone from BMW to Tesla with its own car.

According to a recent report from Reuters, the tech giant is hiring automotive technology and design experts as it is filling up a "top-secret research lab" that will possibly lay the foundation to build its own car.

The caveat to the rumor is the fact that Apple is working on CarPlay and the recruiting could just be for employees to help develop the in-car entertainment system. It is suggested that Apple is looking beyond just infotainment systems as the background and seniority of the executives its searching for points towards building a car.

Sometime in the near future, Chevrolet will announce a new trim package for its Silverado half-ton pickup.

General Motors filed paperwork yesterday to trademark the name "Silverado Big Sky." Currently Chevrolet offers seven trim levels for the Silverado ranging from the base "WT" to the "High Country" luxury trim that competes with Ford's King Ranch and Rams' Laramie Longhorn options.

Company spokesman James Bell wasn't able to comment on the filing, which only covers the Silverado Big Sky name and doesn't go into detail about equipment that will be part of the package.
