    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...

    2016 Paris auto show preview

  • 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    It wasn't that long ago Mercedes-Benz introduced its current S-Class, the W222, but prototypes for an updated version have been out and about for some time. As the S-Class was all-new in 2013, arriving as a 2014 model, we expect this updated version to land sometime in 2017, as a 2018 model. Changes to the exterior will be subtle, with the only differences to be revised lights, exhaust tips and bumpers. The lights keep the shape of the current units but the "eyebrow" daytime running lights in the headlights adopt a new design with three strips instead of one, and one of the main light...

    The 2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country is the tony wagon you didn't know you needed

    Volvo unveiled Thursday its newest Cross Country model—the fourth in the company's history—in a simultaneous worldwide reveal in Sweden, Switzerland, and Vail, Colorado. The locales are no coincidence—the swank wagon is priced much higher than competitors from Subaru and Audi. The...

    2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon first drive review

    An icon since its introduction at the Frankfurt auto show in 1977, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class wagon enters the 2017 model year with a new model: the E400. Tons of new tech, a new engine option, and some of the best semi-autonomous driving features around make the new 2017 Mercedes-Benz E400 Wagon...

  • 2017 Mercedes-AMG E43 first drive

    Big Gulps. Animal Style. Smothered, covered, chopped, and chunked. America's shameless and torrid affair with the over-the-top isn't limited to food. When it comes to luxury and performance cars, we like them big and brawny, too. Alpha-numeric sequences like CTS-V and E63 and M5 activate overworked salivary glands as quickly as a whiff of TurDucKen. Which makes Mercedes-Benz's new 2017 AMG E43 sedan an interesting bet, because it's a lot like a juicy burger—with a side salad. Everyone loves french fries, but most waistlines do not. Beefy goodness is one thing, but there are limits...

    Legacy Classic Trucks returns with 1950s Chevy NAPCO 4x4

    Classic cars have never been more popular but the trend hasn’t pervaded the world of pickup trucks like it has, for instance, sports cars. That won’t be the case for long if companies like Legacy Classic Trucks, based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, continue to sprout up. You may recall the...

    2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo pumps out 188 hp, thanks to the Juke

    It's been forever since the Nissan Sentra SE-R was a machine to be feared--but this year, a new Sentra SR Turbo gives us hope that its tossable, rev-happy spirit lives on. The 2017 Sentra SR Turbo gets its start as a stock Sentra SR, complete with its 124-hp, naturally aspirated inline-4. Yank that...

    Following the debut of its new Giulia Quadrifoglio at the 2015 Frankfurt auto show, Alfa Romeo proclaimed the car had lapped the Nürburgring in 7:39. At the time, this was the record for a production standard four-door car at the ‘Ring by a significant margin. We thought it would be safe...

  • 2018 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid

    If you’re in the market for an electrified car that can outpace top sports cars but also take the family for a road trip come vacation time, then consider Porsche’s new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. The fuel-efficient sedan is the plug-in hybrid model in the second-generation Panamera lineup and serves as the replacement for the original Panamera’s S E-Hybrid model. Once again an internal combustion engine is paired in parallel with an electric drive system, though now all four wheels are doing the driving due to a standard all-wheel-drive system, hence the “4” in the...

    We photographed an old school race with an old school camera

    Old film cameras are hopelessly overrated. Fabulous magazine covers have been shot anonymously with smartphones; "geniuses" have shot with disposable film cameras, yielding photos only slightly better than I took on my seventh grade aquarium field trip in 1992. (Yet, Terry Richardson still gets...

    2017 Ford Fusion Sport first drive review: Mainstream goes premium

    A couple of premium automakers have tried tossing pedestrian engines in their premium cars, and the results were disastrous. Acura shoved a 150-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder in the ILX, and buyers stayed away in droves. Cadillac plopped the Malibu's 202-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder in the ATS...
