    Mercedes-Benz is working on an update for its C-Class. The update is to freshen things as the C-Class reaches the midway point in its life cycle. Recall, the car was introduced for the 2015 model year, so in Mercedes tradition we should see the updated model introduced for the 2019 model year. A number of prototypes have been spotted and reveal that there will be minor tweaks made to the exterior design of the small sedan. Look for new bumpers and changes made to the internals of the lights. One of the earlier prototypes had headlights that more closely resembled the units on the latest...

    2019 Jaguar F-Pace SVR spy shots and video

    Jaguar is testing prototypes for a high-performance version of its F-Pace SUV. The prototypes resemble the current F-Pace S, but it’s easy to spot their new, much more aggressive front fascia design. The stock F-Pace S exhaust tips have also made way for a more aggressive quad-tip...

    Honda Civic Type R: Motor Authority's Best Car To Buy 2018

    Every year at Motor Authority we drive hundreds of vehicles to tell you what's best—swank luxury sedans to hypercars that chew through miles.

  • 2018 Ford Mustang first drive review
    2018 Ford Mustang first drive review: getting serious

    Ever since Chevrolet relaunched the Camaro, it’s effectively been poking Ford, almost trying to provoke its oldest rival with cars like the SS 1LE, Z/28, and ZL1. And Ford has spent the past several years politely asking Chevy to stop with a short string of competitors in the Boss 302, GT500...

  • The first publicly available Buick GNX heads to auction
    Own the first Buick GNX sold to the public

    Grand National Experimental. Those three words mean a whole lot to Buick fans. That's because they are the name applied to a car that was once a humble Regal. When it gets the black paint applied, it is transformed into a truly menacing street beast that stalked the roads of America in the late...

  • 2018 Infiniti QX80

    Infiniti on Tuesday revealed the 2018 QX80 at the 2017 Dubai motor show. This is the vehicle Infiniti previewed in April with the QX80 Monograph concept, though it barely resembles the handsome show car. Sadly, Nissan's upmarket brand has pulled a Subaru and given us the exciting concept to dull production model bait-and-switch. The 2018 QX80 is simply an extensive update of the current QX80, which arrived on the scene in 2011 as a QX56. That’s why the 2018 model still has the bulbous proportions and low-hanging lights of its predecessor. At least the lights, which feature a new design...

    2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demons invading dealers in the U.S. and Canada

    The 2018 Dodge SRT Demon begins shipping to dealers in the U.S. and Canada today, and it is being offered with some accessories and options that we didn't know about previously. We reached out to Dodge do find out how many Demons have left the plant, and a spokeswoman told us that only a few dozen...

    2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS spy shots and video

    Mercedes-Benz is out testing prototypes for its next-generation CLS, the current generation of which has been on sale since the 2012 model year. Even though the CLS is more closely related to the E-Class than the S-Class, Mercedes won’t rename the vehicle a CLE, as some have speculated. When...

  • 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
    8 things we learned living with the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

    A 707-horsepower SUV that can carry five people and their camping gear or attack a racetrack like a sports car, the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is one of the most ridiculous creations in the automotive universe for all the right reasons. In our first drive report I said it was the most...

  • 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

    ALGARVE, PORTUGAL – The most fearsome, trackworthy Porsche is no longer the naturally aspirated GT3. If Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times mean anything to you, the wondrously capable 918 Spyder has also been eclipsed. The latest King of the ‘Ring and sharpest weapon in the Porsche lineup is the $294,250 911 GT2 RS, a twin-turbocharged, 700 horsepower, rear wheel-drive monster that demolished a lap of the 12.9-mile 'Ring in 6:47.3. The bespoilered 911 steals the crown from the Lamborghini Huracán Performante by 5 seconds, and is a stunning 10 seconds faster than the...

    2018 Ford Expedition first drive review: an "A" student at last

    For a long time, the Ford Expedition was forgotten—perhaps, even forgettable. Last redesigned in 2007, the SUV received next-to-no attention until 2015, when Dearborn decided to drop a 3.5-liter Ecoboost under the hood as part of the mildest of refreshes. It was fine, the “C's get...

    Lamborghini Terzo Millennio concept electric car unveiled, hints at Lambo's future

    Lamborghini unveiled Monday its first all-electric sports car concept, the Terzo Millennio, the first indication that the 54-year-old automaker may divorce itself from its signature V-12 powerplant for its halo car in the future. The Lamborghini Terzo Millenio was unveiled in Cambridge...

  • 2018 Nissan GT-R
    2018 Nissan GT-R given $10,000 price cut

    The Nissan GT-R has been made better over the years through its numerous updates, but the starting price has inflated along the way to the point the car is no longer the performance bargain it once was. When it arrived for 2009, the GT-R’s starting price was right on $70,000. Last year, you...

  • Lamborghini MIT concept teaser image

    Lamborghini has something to show us, and it's no small deal when it describes the debut as the "supersport of the future." In three days, the marque will reveal a new supercar that could foreshadow cutting-edge plug-in hybrid technology. However, Lamborghini didn't carry out the project on its own. It partnered with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to bring the car to life. Previously, the brand announced a collaboration to "write an important page in the future of super sports cars for the third millennium." Aside from its own description, we don't know much else about the...

    Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4 Squared review: top tax bracket bruiser

    “Hey dude, your car is huuuuge!” We expected that reaction while driving a vehicle with nearly 18 inches of ground clearance through Washington D.C. What we didn’t expect was someone to ask us if it’s a Hummer, though. Come on! This is definitely not a Hummer. It’s the...
