  • Audi City, opening in Central London

    When it comes to shopping for a new car, the most enjoyable part of the whole process (for us, anyway) is the test drive. While most of us have learned how to do the dance with car salesmen, we wouldn’t really rate “personal contact” as one of our key reasons for visiting a dealership. These days, information on new cars is plentiful, and a few hours worth of research can tell you all you need to know about a new car, including its strengths and weaknesses. That’s why we’re a bit puzzled at the logic behind Audi’s latest trend in retail, something...

  • 2013 BMW 7-Series
    Next BMW 7-Series To Feature An M Model, Just Don't Call It An M7

    Mercedes-Benz has been selling AMG versions of its S Class quite successfully for the past several years, and soon Audi will launch a new generation of its potent S8, but BMW doesn’t have a similar performance-themed full-size sedan in its portfolio, and that doesn’t appear to be...

  • BMW builds an F30 3 Series
    The History Of BMW's 3 Series, In Under Four Minutes: Video

    BMW’s 3 Series range was launched in 1975 as a replacement for the “Neue Klasse,” or “New Class” cars that had served BMW from the introduction of the 1500 in 1962 to the end of 2002 model production in 1976. Since then, BMW has produced six generations of 3 Series...

  • 2011 De Tomaso SLS (Sport Luxury Sedan) Concept

    Just days after news that Italian automaker DeTomaso had filed for bankruptcy comes word that its chairman, Gian Mario Rossignolo, was arrested on allegations that some $9.2 million in public funds were used inappropriately in a botched turnaround effort. Rossignolo purchased the rights to the De Tomaso name in 2009, after the company's 2004 liquidation. Reuters reports that Rossignolo was arrested with two others, including the former head of De Tomaso’s human resource department and a man described as a “financial intermediary.” Investigators are looking into whether a...

McLaren has released a video of the MP4-12C...

  • 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet
    Porsche On Track For Another Record Year

    Mercedes Shows Off The 2013 CLS63 AMG Shooting Brake: Video

    If you’re looking for a fast family hauler, there are plenty of sedans and crossovers that serve up a surprising amount of performance with their versatility. If your tastes run towards wagons, particularly large wagons, your choices are a bit limited. For those of us on this side of the...

  • 2012 Lexus LFA in Black Amethyst

    One of the advantages to ordering a $375,000 automobile is the amount of personalization you can request. While Lexus may not offer up the same number of bespoke options that Rolls-Royce does, there’s still an impressive amount of factory customization available to LFA buyers. For exterior paint options alone, the Japanese luxury brand offers 30 different shades, including three variations on white and three variations of black. Inside, there are 12 colors available, which could result in some rather hideous combinations (like a Lime Green exterior, offset by a Bordeaux interior). Among...

  • Bentley's EXP 9 F SUV concept
    Bentley Shows Off The EXP 9 F With Its First Driving Footage: Video

    When Bentley revealed its EXP 9 F SUV concept at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, we’d be kind to say that it met with “mixed reviews.” Most in attendance panned the go-anywhere Bentley as being too plain, while some were downright critical of the concept’s controversial...

  • Testing of Volvo's safety technology

    Volvo has a well-established reputation of building some of the safest cars in the world but the firm believes it can improve on its own standards by reaching the ultimate goal of avoiding car accidents all together and reducing the road death toll (for drivers of its cars) to zero--a goal it hopes to achieve by as early as 2020. To do so, Volvo will be introducing several new safety technologies, most of them tailored to the way drivers behave in the modern traffic environment. For instance, surveys from three different research institutes in the U.S. reveal that modern drivers spend 25 to...

    Lamborghini Crash Takes Out BMW Motorcycle Dealership

    As much as we love cars, many of us have a thing for motorcycles, too. As you’d guess, we’re not exactly the put-along-below-the-speed-limit-on-a-cruiser type, and many of our fondest two-wheeled memories have been racked up behind the bars of BMW motorcycles. While BMWs may not be as...
