When it finally makes its debut next month, the new 2014 MINI Cooper won’t just feature fresh styling, a revamped interior and fuel-efficient three-cylinder engines, but also advanced driver assist systems typically found in the luxury segment. That’s the promise of MINI’s parent...

The 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray has been making waves everywhere it goes--and occasionally hitting Very Hard Objects. It even managed to get into a tangle or two during development. But this looks like it might be the first known customer crash. While details are non-existent on the Reddit posting...

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a lot of things to many people, including being a Monopoly token it seems. That’s right, the new Corvette Stingray has been immortalized as a Monopoly token, but not for the version of the game you most likely remember from your childhood but the latest...

MINI is working on a whole new range of models, each based off a brand new front-wheel-drive platform developed together with parent company BMW, which will use it for its own range of entry-level hatchbacks and even the next-generation X1. These latest spy shots show a prototype for the new MINI...

The new BMW 4-Series is certainly going to attract a bit of attention when it first hits the streets. That attention will primarily come from automotive enthusiasts in one of two camps. The first will be excited at the prospect of an updated small coupe from the roundel-loving brand. The other camp...

We've shown you why the 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray is a great sports car, and the best Corvette yet. But you don't have to take our word for it. Watch Corvette Racing driver Tommy Milner toss the car around the fear-inducing bends of Virginia International Raceway. One of the most notable bits of...

The Porsche 911 Turbo has always been a fast car. Of course, it's gotten faster as the years go on and technology allows it to bridge new performance chasms. The latest and greatest is the 2014 911 Turbo S, which Porsche claims will hit 198 miles per hour at the top end. That's all well and good...

Barely disguised prototypes for BMW’s new 4-Series Convertible have been running around Europe for the past couple of months, but now we have the first official images of the completed car. The images show the 4-Series Convertible with some of its official accessories and look to have been...

Crash tests are a necessary thing. A funny, necessary thing... which we enjoy watching. A vehicle that scores well shows us just how we can be protected in the event of an accident, and that's wonderful to see. On the flip side, a vehicle that does poorly provides an amusing vantage point of...

The Mercedes-Benz S Class is all new this year, and with it, we get an all-new S63 AMG with 4MATIC all-wheel drive. If there is such a thing as diamond icing on a platinum cake, this is it. First things first: this isn't a driver's car, at least not in the way a BMW M3, or a Ferrari 458 Italia, or...

Ron Burgundy is a legendary newsman. He started off by capturing the hearts, minds, and attention of the residents of San Diego. Eventually, Burgundy's brilliance was discovered by a larger network and he, along with his lovely partner Veronica Corningstone, brought their journalistic talents to...

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray holds the honor of being the only car on the market with more than 455 horsepower and a 29 mpg highway EPA gas mileage rating. But that's only if you opt for the seven-speed manual. Choose the automatic and you'll lose 1 mpg city and highway. Gas mileage ratings...

Check out The Car Connection's in-depth coverage of the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class as a month's worth of detail and analysis unfolds.

This guy clearly has the right idea. First of all, the 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray is a great car. Tons of fun. Incredible value. Second, it makes a great gift. Especially when the recipient is your girlfriend. It might be cynical, but this is perhaps the best example of buying someone's affection...

If you've driven the new SRT Viper, you probably want to own it--well, you do if you're the same kind of crazy we are. But apparently those of us who want it aren't buying it, as Chrysler has cut production by one-third due to slow sales and the impending fall and winter months. Ultimately, it's...

Land Rover’s popular Range Rover Evoque is entering the 2014 model year with a series of important updates, including a world-first nine-speed automatic transmission. The good news is that pricing hasn’t gone up with the number of gears, as the 2014 Range Rover Evoque is still priced...

Just a few days ago, we saw Mercedes race an A45 AMG against a downhill longboarder in a beautifully choreographed video. Now NISMO takes it to the next level--literally. If there's any sport more insane than riding a wingsuit off the face of a cliff, we don't want to know about it. Just watching...

Maserati’s new Ghibli sedan is close to making its showroom debut, but here’s a chance to look back at the car during its development days. In addition to extensive testing in the real world, Maserati engineers also use a sophisticated climatic wind tunnel to put the Ghibli through...

Hennessey Performance Engineering does many things we envy, from the Venom GT to its ridiculous/awesome CTS-Vs. But this we don't so much envy--we've already driven the Stingray hard. We can't say it surprises us, either. But it's still impressive. A bone-stock, automatic-transmission Stingray, the...

Lexus’ GS 350 has only been on sale for a year but the car is already receiving its first round of updates, just in time for the start of the 2014 model year. The highlight is the addition of an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters instead of the previous six-speeder. The...
