  • 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, private preview event in NYC

    Land Rover launched its redesigned 2014 Range Rover Sport today at the 2013 New York Auto Show, and to introduce the vehicle the British automaker brought another Brit, James Bond actor Daniel Craig. In a scene reminiscent of one of the Hollywood blockbusters he’s starred in, Craig revealed the new Range Rover Sport as part of a dramatic drive through metro New York, the single biggest market for the luxury SUV. Incidentally, Craig said he was attracted to working with Land Rover not only because of his love for the iconic British brand and its vehicles, but also because they both share...

    2014 Cadillac CTS: New York Auto Show Live Photos

    Now that the new Cadillac ATS sports sedan is on the market--and one of the best-driving sport sedans, we might add--the Cadillac CTS has room to grow. And based on our first in-person look, that's exactly what's happened. The new 2014 Cadillac CTS, shown here at a special invitation-only preview...

    2015 Audi S3 Sedan Revealed: Video

    Though Audi’s new A3 Sedan range isn’t set for a formal debut until the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show next month, the German automaker privately unveiled the cars to a few select media, including us, on the eve of the 2013 New York Auto Show. Unfortunately, the launch of the new A3 in the...

    2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Sheds 800 Pounds, Gains Supercharged V-6

    Edgier, sleeker, and faster, the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is the sporting complement to the off-road specialist (with on-road credentials) found in the new Range Rover. Unveiled this evening just before the 2013 New York Auto Show, the 2014 Range Rover Sport improves upon the previous...

    2015 Audi A3: Sedans, Sportbacks, Diesels And Even A Plug-In

    With the A4 now considerably larger than it used to be, there's space for a new compact sedan in Audi's lineup. And that's the all-new 2015 Audi A3 Sedan, which has been revealed today in regular A3 and sporty S3 trim. Ahead of its official world debut at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show on April 19...

  • 2014 Cadillac CTS

    American luxury just took another leap forward. The 2014 Cadillac CTS, on display tomorrow at the New York Auto Show, raises the bar for design, power, and value in the luxury sedan segment, continuing the CTS' legacy in forging new ground for Cadillac and the U.S. This isn't the same CTS we've come to know and love, however. In fact, it's hugely different in almost every respect. Larger, more dramatically styled, and far more powerful (excepting the previous generations CTS-V), the 2014 Cadillac CTS moves up a notch to compete with the BMW 5-Series, Audi A6, and Mercedes-Benz E Class more...

    2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT: Track-Tuned For The Street

    Jaguar's ETO division, a little-known but intense group of specialty vehicle creators launched last year, has one-upped the XKR-S with this, the XKR-S GT. Track-tuned, but built for the street, this is likely the hottest version of the XK Coupe we'll see--at least in this generation. The ETO, or...

    2014 Jaguar XJR: Full Details On The Executive Super-Sedan

    It's a seemingly contradictory set of goals: executive luxury sedan comfort and style, with track-capable handling and supercar levels of power. But for some reason, it just works. Case in point: initial impressions of the Nürburgring-tuned 2014 Jaguar XJR. We're not going to get...

    2014 Buick Regal Debuts With All-Wheel Drive In New York

    Buick is introducing updates for its LaCrosse and Regal models for the 2014 model year, with both cars scheduled to be unveiled to the public at the 2013 New York Auto Show this week. We saw the 2014 LaCrosse yesterday, and today it’s the 2014 Regal’s turn in the spotlight. Only minor...

    Dartz Dreams Up Its Own Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6

    Latvian tuner and manufacturer of armored vehicles Dartz has come across what’s possibly the only SUV tougher and more extreme than its own line of Prombron monsters, the new Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6. Rather than trying to outmatch the tough-as-nails AMG off-roader, Dartz has imagined its...

  • 2014 Aston Martin Rapide S  -  First Drive, March 2013
    2014 Aston Martin Rapide S first drive review

    Can a four-door be a true sports car? In today’s market—even at the upper end of the market—it seems that there are too many so-called ’no compromise’ luxury cars looking to be so many things at once. With its curvy, performance, car roofline rather intimate 2+2...

  • 2014 BMW M5 facelift spy shots

    With prototypes for facelifted versions of the 5-Series sedan and 5-Series Touring wagon already out and about, it was only a matter of time until we saw a facelifted M5 prototype. These are our first spy shots of the facelifted M5, which we expect to be launched on the market later this year but as a 2014 model. The updated versions of the regular 5-Series should arrive around the same time. Given the success of the current M5, we’re unlikely to see any dramatic changes introduced for this mid-cycle update. BMW M won’t follow AMG’s strategy of switching all its cars to...

    2014 Buick LaCrosse Breaks Cover Ahead Of New York Reveal

    The second generation of the full-size Buick LaCrosse sedan dates back to the 2010 model year, and sales have remained relatively consistent for Buick in the United States market. The LaCrosse is also a hot commodity in China, so General Motors is hesitant to fix something that isn’t broken...

  • 2013 Lincoln MKZ

    Luxury brand Lincoln knows it has just one chance at a successful launch of its MKZ midsize sedan. To attract new buyers into the Lincoln family, “good enough” just won’t cut it, which is why Lincoln has scheduled a post-assembly quality inspection for each and every MKZ built. That created quite a backlog at Ford’s Hermosillo, Mexico plant, which lacked the resources to handle the quantity of post-build inspections necessary. As we reported in February, Ford was shipping cars from Mexico to Flat Rock, Michigan, in an effort to expedite the final inspection process and...
