The premium compact class is currently dominated by German brands Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but that situation will soon change as Infiniti is about to join the fray with two new models: the Q30 and QX30. We’ve already seen the Q30 hatchback and now Infiniti has revealed a QX30 crossover...

The 2017 Jaguar XE may have been unveiled in Europe over a year ago—and already shown here in the United States—but it's still not going to be in local showrooms until next year. So, understandably, Jaguar has teasingly taken its time filling in some of the details. Now, at this week's...

Buick’s lineup has been starved of fresh product for the past couple of years—there hasn’t been an all-new model since the Encore arrived in 2012—but starting next year we’ll finally see some new arrivals. One of these is the 2016 Cascada convertible, which Buick has...

It's not as if the 2017 Bentley Bentayga lacks exclusivity—annual production of the $229,100 SUV won't exceed a couple thousand. But for buyers who want an even rarer Bentayga, Bentley unveiled a limited run dubbed the First Edition at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood, California...

It's a bit disheartening to think that the fact a slick sport sedan like the Jaguar XE will come with a manual option is news—but that doesn't make it any less welcome. At this point, it appears the six-speed stick will only be offered on models with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder...

Audi has completely redesigned its Q7 for the 2017 model year, and it's an important vehicle in the lineup thanks to the three rows of seating.
