  • BMW Vision iNext concept

    BMW will use next month's 2019 International Consumer Electronics Show to preview a digital personal assistant the automaker plans to roll out starting next March. First announced in September, the system, known as the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, is a voice-activated system smart enough to allow you to use natural speech, much like the digital assistants offered by tech companies. You simply go, “Hey BMW,” and then ask the system anything you'd like to know or would like done. Some examples are, “Hey BMW, look for the nearest fuel station on my route,” or...

    Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman T bring pure driving thrills

    Porsche has expanded its 718 lineup with the new Boxster and Cayman T sports cars.

It also represents a more purist take on the driving experience...

    2019 Lamborghini Urus first drive review: All-around superstar

    Corsa Speed builds quickly in the 2019 Lamborghini Urus on the North Course of The Thermal Club outside of Palm Springs, California. I look down between turns 9 and 1, and the digital speedometer reads 126 mph and climbing. It feels like 80. Still, I feel I need more power. That’s what...

The car is expected in showrooms next summer as a 2020 model and will serve as a sportier alternative to the similarly sized A-Class sedan which launches for 2019. A teaser shot provides a glimpse at the new CLA's coupe-like profile. Our own spy shots of prototypes provide a much better look and suggest that the car will resemble a scaled-down version of the CLS. All Mercedes will say about the car is that it will feature an enhanced version of the...

  • 2020 Porsche 911 Cabriolet spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    Porsche last month unveiled a new generation of its 911, the 992, and today we have a new set of spy shots of the convertible body style. The prototype is for the Carrera S Cabriolet, though the basic design will be common to all 992-generation Cabrios. The styling is clearly evolutionary. This is after all a 911 we’re talking about. What’s interesting, though, is the active rear wing that forms part of the body. It stretches the width of the car and sits atop a horizontal strip of LEDs serving as the taillights. There are no surprises regarding the roof, which remains an...

  • 2019 Porsche Macan

    The corners are blind. An oncoming car, bus, or bicyclist could await on the other side. Please don’t be a bus. The lane is narrow. The SUV I’m in takes up almost all of it. There is barely any shoulder, and sometimes a guardrail sits right on the lane line and threatens to add an unintentional racing stripe to the passenger’s side. And yet these tight switchbacks in the mountains of Mallorca, Spain, beg for hard driving in the moments when I can see all is clear ahead. While these roads are best traveled on a motorcycle, if it’s going to be an SUV, I’m glad...
