  • 2018 BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo

    The BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo has finally run its course, but before you pop the champagne cork note that a successor is coming. That successor is the 6-Series Gran Turismo which was revealed by BMW on Tuesday. The luxury hatchback is due in showrooms in the fall, as a 2018 model, and has been priced to start at $70,695, including destination. That’s up on the $64,195 starting price of a comparable 2017 5-Series GT, but the 6-Series GT is a sleeker, sexier car. It’s also now a more credible alternative to rival offerings such as the Audi A7 and Mercedes-Benz CLS. The length is...

  • 2018 Holden Commodore Australia Supercars race car
    Holden Commodore racer for Australia Supercars revealed--and it has a V-8

    Holden has a new Commodore coming in 2018, though the car is really a rebadged Opel Insignia Grand Sport (a Buick Regal Sportback to us Yanks) that will be sourced from Germany, as opposed to made locally. Nevertheless, the front-wheel-drive, V-8-lacking fastback sedan will continue to serve as the...

  • 2018 Subaru WRX STI Type RA

    Subaru is finally getting serious about Subaru Tecnica International (STI) in the United States. For years the official tuner of Subaru cars has been neglected here, with most of its coolest stuff sold in Japan only. But that’s starting to change. How do we know? Because a WRX STI Type RA has just been confirmed for 2018. The RA designation stands for Record Attempt and has been applied to various Subaru performance models, none of which were ever sold here. The first time was in 1989 when a race-prepped Subaru Legacy broke the FIA World Speed Endurance Record by clocking over 62,000...

  • 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
    2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio track day: exhilaration and disappointment

    Italian cars are known for two things: driving passion and a finicky nature. So when I finagled my way into a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio for a track day event, I was hoping that I would experience the former and avoid the latter. Instead I got a healthy dose of both. On Memorial Day, I was...

  • 2018 Porsche Panamera 4S

    What’s a little heresy among friends? Porsche put out its first Cayenne SUV in 2003, and oh, the hand-wringing, the garment-rending. The haterade flowed like Dom in the VIP room or so we’ve heard. Porsche 911 loyalists–mostly, people who’d never driven one–hauled their iron maidens out of cold storage. Abomination! Against nature! They forgot some keywords, like hugely profitable. Also, a real Porsche. Because brands are elastic, just like the socks the commenterati keep close to their mousepads. Fast forward to 2010, when Porsche really stamped their passport to...
