Mercedes-Benz is shaking up its GLE range for the 2017 model year. Most of the models carry over unchanged from the previous year but a new Mercedes-AMG GLE43 is joining the ranks. It replaces both the GLE400 and GLE450 AMG as Mercedes looks to streamline its relatively confusing hierarchy of...

Buick’s lineup in China includes a minivan called the GL8, and it’s this model that has become the first recipient of Buick’s Avenir treatment. Avenir, French for “future,” is the name of a luxurious sedan concept Buick rolled out in 2015. The concept didn’t make...

The German automakers aren’t regulars at the annual SEMA tuning fest in Las Vegas but the tide is turning as BMW has been showing up in recent years to present the latest wares from its M Performance catalog. BMW even used 2015’s show to mark the North American debut of its M2. For...

Mercedes-Benz on Thursday confirmed plans for 10 electric cars by 2025. That’s less than the 30 electric cars the Volkswagen Group is planning for the same date, though it’s still significant considering the smaller volumes of the luxury segment in which Mercedes competes. The first of...

Cracking off shifts of the ZF 8-speed automatic with the column-mounted aluminum paddle shifters, the 505-horsepower turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6 snarling like a staked pitbull, and railing up the fast, heavy g-loading of Turn 1 at Sonoma, the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio tucks in and rotates...

It must be tough to be Lincoln. As the brand has learned, time and again, there is a difference between image and reputation. The most tired trope among those who care about cars is to anticipate the reemergence of the world-beating American luxury brand, which has moved quietly to the sidelines...

Mercedes-Benz won’t offer a diesel-powered C-Class in the United States. The automaker was to start sales of a C300d during 2016 but has since scrapped those plans. The C300d was to be powered by a turbocharged 2.1-liter inline-4 delivering 201 horsepower to all four wheels. Speaking with Car...

After nearly 40 years, you’d think that Mercedes-Benz would run out of tricks for its G-Class. After all, the company’s box-on-wheels doesn’t look much different today than it did back in 1979, when it first hit the road as a go anywhere, do anything four-by-four. But the hits...

It's the time of year when the air turns crisp and cold. Your jacket makes its first appearance of the season. Your calendar is filled with visits from family members.

The Maserati Alfieri concept wowed audiences at its 2014 Geneva auto show debut, helping the Italian brand celebrate its 100th anniversary in style. However, the Alfieri wasn't just a bit of auto show bling as a few months later Maserati confirmed the car for production, providing a tentative...
