  • 2016 Lexus CT 200h

    The 2016 Lexus CT 200h hybrid rolls into the new model year with some changes but no major updates. It remains the smallest of Lexus' many hybrids, and the brand's only hatchback. You'd be hard pressed to differentiate a 2016 CT 200h from a current 2015 model, as the only significant difference is a new grille with a chrome surround on the 2016 model. It's another version of the prominent 'spindle' grille that Lexus has made into its calling card.

  • Aston Martin DB10 in trailer for new James Bond movie 'Spectre'

    It was back in December that Aston Martin shocked us with the unveiling of a new car, the DB10, which was developed exclusively for a starring role in the new James Bond movie Spectre. Today, an extended trailer is out and we get to see several shots of the car in action and even learn some if its specs. The clip also features the Jaguar C-X75—the sinister supercar concept belongs to one of the villains. Aston Martin built just 10 examples of the DB10—just enough to satisfy the needs of the film's production crew. They won't be officially offered for sale, and it's likely only one...

Unfortunately, when the...

  • 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class  -  First Drive, July 2015

    The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class will arrive later this year, as a new nameplate with a look that’s entirely different than that of its predecessor. And behind it, there seems to be an indelible backstory. Automakers don’t often point much to predecessors as they’re introducing new vehicles, but it’s not that often either that they make such a dramatic change in course such as this. So this past week as we attended a first drive of the new GLC, that backstory seemed in the forefront. MUST SEE: LaFerrari Nearly Powerslides Right Into Oncoming Traffic: Video Boxy and...
