The 2014 FR-S also benefits from new knee cushions that are located on the door panels and the sides of the center console. One new optional goodie is a premium...

Rocky is the road that has led to the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28's production. Rumored for release years ago, with General Motors choosing to offer a ZL1 and then a 1LE, all but the most faithful Z/28 fans had given up hope that we’d ever see a modern Camaro bearing the alphanumerical combination of the letter Z and the numbers 2 and 8. But the car is finally here--launched together with a facelifted Camaro range being introduced for the 2014 model year. While the new Camaro Z/28’s showroom appearance isn’t scheduled for a few months still, the very fortunate Jay Leno was...

Spend around a hundred grand on a performance sedan, and it had better put a smile on your face, right? After driving the 2014 Jaguar XFR-S up on Pacific Northwest mountain roads, as well as on the track, we can say that this very focused model—the fastest, most powerful Jaguar sedan ever—never ceased to have us grinning. A wicked grin, at that. If you're not already familiar with the idea, the XFR-S is a serious, rather edgy (or about as edgy as Jaguars get) model that pushes the performance envelope further upward from the XFR. But it isn't simply chasing German super-sedans...
