  • 2017 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

    Ford Motor Company’s [NYSE:F] sixth-generation Mustang made waves when introduced for the 2015 model year. Finally, we were graced with a Mustang with independent rear suspension, which together with the steering and other chassis tweaks helped to deliver sports car-like handling. Since then Ford has added the awesome Shelby GT350 and GT350R as well as a Performance Package for buyers of the standard models. There aren’t many changes to report on for the 2017 model year, the most substantial being the expanded color palette which now includes Lightning Blue, Grabber Blue and White...

  • 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe Night Edition
    Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe Night Edition to debut in Detroit

    Already one of the most desirable cars in production, Mercedes-Benz’s S-Class Coupe gets a little more lustworthy with a new Night Edition treatment. The S-Class Coupe Night Edition is a limited edition version of the stunning coupe that Mercedes will introduce next month at the 2017 Detroit...

    2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C spy shots

    The Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster that debuted in September at the 2016 Paris auto show is about to spawn a coupe sibling. The enclosed car has just been spied during what looks to be an official photo shoot. This suggests the reveal isn't far. The GT C coupe is hardly a secret. In fact, we already...

  • 2017 Dodge Challenger
    2017 Dodge Challenger preview

    The current Dodge Challenger has been around since the 2008 model year, but despite its design hardly changing in all the years it remains as popular as ever. Dodge sold 66,366 examples in 2015 and is on track to rack up a similar figure in 2016. (That’s a good thing as a successor might be...

    2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe leaked ahead of December 14 reveal

    Mercedes-Benz will reveal a redesigned E-Class Coupe on December 14 but photos of the car have already surfaced. The photos were posted by Belgian website AutoTijd (via Motor1) and reveal a handsome albeit familiar design. The pillar-less glasshouse is particularly beautiful. We also get a look at...

    Mercedes-AMG E50 to be performance range-topper for new E-Class Coupe

    The current Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe doesn’t have a dedicated Mercedes-AMG offering with one of the tuner's hand-built engines, and neither will the redesigned model. That’s according to Autocar which is reporting that the performance range-topper for the redesigned E-Class Coupe...

  • 2018 Lexus LC500

    SEVILLE, Spain--If you remember the very first days of Lexus, you remember the clever ads: the champagne glasses on the hood of the car, the ball bearing rolling down its hood, the "relentless pursuit of perfection." Forget it all. Now Lexus is chasing after world-class luxury and performance with big power, great handling and outrageous styling. They don't ever want to be called boring again. The evidence so far: the shapely GS sedan, RC coupe, even the latest RX crossover. Next up: the most extroverted Lexus you’ve ever seen, the 2018 Lexus LC 500 and LC 500h, the most convincing show...

  • 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE
    2017 Chevrolet Camaro preview

    Chevrolet isn't messing around with the Camaro. The sixth-generation car, which arrived as a 2016 model, is the best yet. We even named the Camaro SS the Motor Authority Best Car to Buy 2016. For 2017, the best gets better. There are two new additions for the new model year: the track-focused...

    2018 BMW 2-Series spy shots

    The 2-Series coupe is one of our favorite cars in the BMW lineup. In fact, the high-performance M2 variant was just voted Motor Authority’s Best Car to Buy 2017. It’s mostly because the car reminds us of BMWs of old, where rear-wheel drive, inline-6s and manual transmissions ruled. Yes...

  • McLaren 570S Design Edition
    McLaren announces 5 Design Editions for 570S

    In the market for a supercar but not exactly confident in your sense of design and decor? McLaren now has the answer. Today the British supercar brand announced a series of five Design Edition versions of its 570S, each with colors, trims, and finishes chosen by the company's designers. The cars...

    2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe spy shots and video

    Mercedes-Benz has launched a new generation of its E-Class but so far all we've seen is the sedan and wagon. More body styles are coming, similar to what’s offered with the outgoing model. A long-wheelbase E-Class L has debuted in China, and eventually there will be new coupe, convertible and...

  • 2017 Honda Civic Si Coupe prototype, 2016 Los Angeles auto show
    2017 Honda Civic Si Coupe prototype debuts at LA auto show

    Honda’s award-winning, 10th-generation Civic has already been revealed as a sedan, coupe and hatchback, but we’re still waiting on the performance-oriented versions of the respective body styles. The hardcore Civic Type R that was previewed in prototype form during September’s...

  • BMW M2 vs. Focus RS

    Being low man on the totem pole isn't always so bad. Two of our finalists for the Motor Authority Best Car To Buy 2017 award, the 2016 BMW M2 and 2016 Ford Focus RS, started life at or near the bottom of their respective lineups. The Ford Focus’ platform dates back to 2011. It’s a front-wheel-drive compact built mainly for economy buyers--though with its firm, responsive tuning, we've always liked the way the Focus handles. The BMW 2-Series is the German company's entry-level product here. Its rear-wheel-drive layout gives it a stronger basis for a more sporty character, but it's...

  • 2018 Lexus LC 500 by Gordon Ting/Beyond Marketing, 2016 SEMA show
    Lexus LC 500 unveiled at SEMA ups power with enlarged V-8

    Lexus on Tuesday unveiled the first modified version of its upcoming LC coupe during the 2016 SEMA show. The LC isn’t due in showrooms until early 2017 so the tuning firm responsible for the SEMA show car, Beyond Marketing, were given early access to a pre-production example. Overseeing the...

  • 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster S, white
    2017 Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman first drive review: don't play it by ear

    The Porsche Boxster and Cayman are brilliant sports cars, but they're not so different as the names might suggest — they’re basically the same car, aside from that minor roof thing. So why different names? Indeed. This year, Porsche's debugging that situation by adding a new prefix...

  • 2018 Lexus LC500 spotted running around the Nürburgring
    Lexus LC 500 spotted making great noises at the 'Ring

    There are many fun jobs out there. One of them is, without a doubt, logging thousands of test miles in new vehicles. That goes double when those test miles take place at Germany's Nürburgring and you're behind the wheel of the upcoming 2018 Lexus LC 500. A YouTube user spotted the car running...

    2018 Mercedes-AMG C63 R Coupe spy shots and video

    Mercedes-AMG is out testing a more hardcore version of its C63 Coupe. We don’t think the car is a successor to the previous C63 Coupe Black Series, though we think one will be dropped on us eventually. Rather, we think this will be a track-focused model dubbed the C63 R Coupe, following the...

  • 2017 Infiniti Q60
    2017 Infiniti Q60 Red Sport first drive review: Truth in truth

    The 2017 Infiniti Q60 tells no lies. In top trim, Q60 Red Sport 400, the Q60 delivers on every one of its promises: It’s one better than the Q50 (from which its related); there is in fact, a red S (which is also part of Infiniti’s even more confusing nomenclature now); and every bit of...

  • 2018 BMW M4 facelift spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    A prototype for an updated version of the BMW M4 has been spotted once more. The changes are part of a mid-cycle update planned for the entire 4-Series range. The cars should be introduced in 2017, as 2018 models. The prototype reveals that the updated M4 will be receiving some of the mods fitted to the high-performance M4 GTS, such as that model’s front lip spoiler and vented hood. The updated M4 also looks to be receiving some tweaks to the lights in the form of new graphics. The tweaked lights will be common across the updated 4-Series range. It’s not clear what mechanical mods...

    2017 Infiniti Q60 preview

    Buyers are spoiled for choice in the entry-level premium coupe segment. In addition to the German mainstays, there are commendable options such as Cadillac’s ATS Coupe and Lexus’ RC. And for 2017 there’s also a much-improved Infiniti Q60. Infiniti’s previous Q60, which...

  • 2018 Lexus LC 500, 2016 Detroit Auto Show
    Lexus confirms more power for 2018 LC 500

    Lexus used Sunday’s 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California to show off its upcoming LC coupe. The version on show was the LC 500 V-8 model and on hand to talk about the car was chief engineer Koji Sato. There, he confirmed that the LC 500’s 5.0-liter V-8...

  • 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB
    2016 Ferrari 488 GTB first drive review: mid-engine magic

    Quiet hands. A race instructor friend of mine harps on them all the time. If you want to go fast around a track, you need smooth, steady steering inputs to keep the suspension settled and keep the car on its intended path. Saw at the wheel and you are losing precious time. If you are driving the...

  • 2017 Fiat 124 Spider, 2016 Press Drive San Diego
    Fiat 124 Spider may get Coupe companion

    As Mazda has its retractable-roof Miata, so too shall Fiat get its hardtop 124. Or, at least, that's the story from today's Autocar. The British car magazine says Fiat will bring out its own fixed-roof, high-performance two-door based on the current Fiata in the near term. Fiat won't be using the...

  • 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo First Drive
    2017 Porsche 911 Turbo first drive review

    The more the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo talks, the more it sounds like the end. In many ways, it's coarse and gruff—the way a 911 Turbo should sound. Noise from the turbochargers force-feeding a 3.8-liter flat-6 to within an inch of its life howl through the straights, rear tires wail from...
