Luxury Cars

  • 2016 Lexus ES 300h

    One of the most painful parts of buying a car is the haggling process. We have to assume that the sale folks hate it. We know that car buyers hate it. It's so frustrating that an entire company has sprung up around the fact that you can buy cars from them with the prices being firm and upfront. No-haggle pricing is a nice concept, but will it ever catch on with mainstream car brands? Lexus is certainly willing to give it a shot. CHECK OUT: 2016 Lexus LX 570 Leaked Again The luxury brand is looking to test out a fixed-price strategy at 12 of its 236 dealerships in the United States. According...

    Talk of a new Lexus crossover with third-row seats dates back several years, with Lexus even rolling out a concept of just such a vehicle, the HPX, as far back as 2003.

  • 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class pricing starts at $120,825

    When we got the first details on Mercedes-Benz's 2016 G-Class range, it wasn't clear the specifications that would be available in the United States. Now we know what will be on offer here, and how much they'll set you back. Opening bids for the G550 will start at a heady $120,825, including a $925...

    Notes From The Driveway: 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S

    It's not very often that something as special as the 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S comes rolling into my driveway, so I was excited to spend the last week piloting Mercedes' new Porsche 911 fighter. Prior to my test drive, I had only been behind the wheel for one glorious lap of the Road America road...

  • Alfa Romeo Giulia spotted on the streets

    We saw it at the initial private reveal in Milan back in June, and we’ve since seen it in some official promo videos. But now for the first time we have a taste of what Alfa Romeo’s new Giulia will look like when it’s in customer hands and cruising around local streets. YouTube user ResQ166 has video of two examples taking part in what appears to be an official photo shoot. The red example is stationary but the white one is seen exiting a driveway and doing a little driving. From the video, it’s clear the car sits low to the ground and is very aggressive looking. This...

    The Mercedes-Maybach S600 By Brabus Will Hit 60 MPH In Under 3.7 Seconds

    The 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 is certainly no slouch with its ample 523 horsepower and 612 pound-feet of torque, but if you’re the type that needs your luxury behemoth to keep up with top sports models, then Brabus has just what you need. The German tuner is intimately familiar with the...

  • 2016 Audi A3 e-tron Sportback

    2016 Lexus RC 200t Coming To U.S. With 2.0-Liter Turbo Four

The model will join the already available 306-horsepower RC 350 and...

  • Lincoln Continental Seat
    Revived Lincoln Continental Will Have 30-Way Adjustable Seats: Video

    The Lincoln Continental concept hardly looks bad. Sure, the styling is somewhat derivative, and the wheels resemble something you'd see on a hobbled exotic stashed in the back of a SEMA hall. But overall? It looks like it could be the premium car Lincoln needs. ALSO SEE: 2016 Lincoln Continental...

  • 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE (ML Facelift, Euro Spec)

    As compelling as the $40k Mercedes-Benz GLC is, some buyers simply need more room. Fortunately, Mercedes has bigger vehicles that match the style, luxury and comfort of the GLC—but you’re going to have to pay a premium. Next up the line is the GLE, which is new for 2016. The vehicle serves as the replacement for the popular M-Class although the two share most of their internals and even some body panels. Unlike the previous M-Class, the GLE can be ordered as either a regular SUV or as a ‘coupe-like’ SUV. For the latter, both the ride height and roofline have been...

    2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC Priced From $39,875

    We already had a chance to take Mercedes-Benz’s new GLC for a spin and found it to be a very impressive vehicle. With a roomy interior that’s easily the best in class, a powerful engine under the hood (and more potent units to come), and ride comfort that’s comparable to the...

  • BMW 7 Series Mission Impossible

    While it will be the BMW M3 that steals the limelight in the new Mission Impossible film, there are other BMW products also popping up in it. The German automaker is trotting out its all-new sixth-generation 7-Series for the new Rogue Nation movie, which makes this the second MI film for the automaker. The automaker lent a hand on Ghost Protocol as well. The all-new 7-Series should prove a nice fit for the all-new MI movie since it's packing some neat new tech. ALSO SEE: Porsche 918 Spyder Driver Showing Off Crashes In Car Park: Video Will the 7-Series get tossed around like the M3? We hope...

    While most Bentayga owners are unlikely to ever head off-road in their luxury-loaded SUVs, Bentley is committed to ensuring the vehicle remains fully capable when the tarmac ends and is demonstrating this commitment in a pair of teaser videos. The first shows a Bentayga prototype at an off-road...

    Notes From The Driveway: 2016 Volvo XC90

    My colleague Bengt Halvorson calls the 2016 Volvo XC90 one of the most important production introductions of the year. Let me clarify that for you. To the industry, the second-generation XC90 is just another luxury three-row crossover SUV. But to Volvo, it's the vehicle that could make or break its...

    2016 Cadillac CTS-V first drive review

    The Germans. Always the Germans. Their brands have been the benchmark for luxurious motoring since Nixon left the White House in disgrace. But it wasn’t always that way. Cadillac was once The Standard of the World. Can it be that once again? The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is the latest salvo in an...
