BMW has no triple-turbo love for the U.S. it seems, as the automaker has just revealed its second-generation X5 M50d performance diesel SUV based on the latest 2014 X5 range, and it’s not coming to local showrooms. If you’re unfamiliar with the X5 M50d, it’s a sporty SUV from...

It could be a decade before Lincoln becomes a "true luxury" brand--those aren't the words of an industry analyst or competitor, but J Mays, Ford's design chief.

We love it, and we love to hate its marketing almost as much as we despise the overzealous, often ignorant coverage in the press. First, Tesla insists on listing prices with government incentives--which buyers don't always qualify for--already deducted. Then we didn't get the more affordable 40-kWh...

Fans hoping General Motors will utilize its seventh-generation Corvette platform, debuting in the 2014 Corvette Stingray, in other models will be disappointed to learn that there are no plans for such a move. The information comes directly from the Corvette’s chief engineer, Tadge Juechter...
