We recently drove the new 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG along some very lovely roads in the south of France and came away quite impressed with the car. British journo and avid race driver Chris Harris also happened to test AMG’s take on the latest SL Class and was kind enough to create this...

Cadillac's XTS may be replaced by a new rear-wheel drive model based on an Omega platform within the next couple of years.

Carlos Ghosn and Dieter Zetsche buddied up for an alliance between Renault-Nissan and Daimler just over two years ago, and while the duo has been cooperating in the background, today's groundbreaking in Tennessee for a new plant that will build engines for both Mercedes-Benz and Infiniti is a much...

The new BMW 3-Series sedan has been a known quantity for months now. But its wagon-shaped Touring (or Sports Wagon here in the U.S.) counterpart hasn't, beyond spy shots and spy videos, and certainly not in M Sport Package configuration. Now, things are a bit clearer. Not that we didn't already...

Climbing behind the wheel of an F1 car generally requires years of racing experience, the reflexes of a fighter pilot and a sixth sense for car control that few people possess. Failing that, you could be the host of a very successful BBC automotive show, or you win a contest sponsored by watchmaker...

The user interfaces of modern infotainment systems can be difficult for the average consumer to understand and embrace. Ford learned this lesson the hard way when it launched the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch infotainment systems to a flood of criticism and negative feedback. Cadillac...

Buick is trying really hard to portray itself as a manufacturer of stylish and hip vehicles. To do so, they’ve enlisted the help of an odd cast of characters: first came former NBA great Shaquille O’Neal, talking about the “oh effect” that Buicks can potentially have on...

Officials are currently investigating whether a Fisker Karma was the cause of a fire at a home in Houston, Texas recently.

Aston Martin is working on a new generation of its DB9 luxury grand tourer, which once again is expected to spawn a regular model as well as a high-performance version that is likely to replace the DBS. This means that the current versions of both cars are soon to be discontinued. In the lead up to...

BMW is recalling 7,600 new 3-Series models to correct a potential defect with the front seat headrests.

Audi is working on a brand new S3 and we’ve got a spy video of a prototype for the upcoming hot hatch, taken while it was running some test miles around Germany’s Nürburgring race track. Click here to watch the spy video in full via our YouTube page. The particular prototype is for...

The United Kingdom is honoring 60 years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign with a Diamond Jubilee event stretching from May 10-13. As part of the celebration, Ferrari owners and collectors will display some of the marque’s most historic and significant cars on the grounds of Windsor Castle...

First launched in 2009 for buyers of the XFR and XKR, Jaguar's Performance Driving Academy is now open to all Jaguar owners and other driving enthusiasts, too. Two different courses, Basic and Advanced, will be offered at four different tracks this year. As Jaguar North America's brand vice...

Make a list of the world’s best-handling roadsters, and what would be on it? The Porsche Boxster, without a doubt, and likely the Honda S2000 (even though it’s no longer in production). We’d expect to see the Nissan 370Z on the list, as well as the Mazda MX-5 Miata. On the other...

The 2013 Cadillac ATS sedan will be priced from under $34,000 including destination charge, making it a serious value in the compact luxury segment.

The Buick Enclave is the industry’s best-selling crossover with third-row seats, so GM knows that any changes to the car need to be handled with car. Unfortunately, when it comes to design, improving a successful product can be a bigger challenge than starting with a clean sheet. In the case...

The Fisker Karma will be driven across some of Europe's finest driving roads alongside other green cars including plug-in hybrids and pure battery-powered cars.

The BMW Ring Taxi recently got an update to the F10 M5, but now a new car is offering rides around the Green Hell: the Jaguar XJ. Outfitted with the Sport and Speed Pack options, the long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ Supersport packs 510-horsepower and a top speed of 174 mph. The biggest XJ might seem like...

In years past, upgrading a car for better performance usually meant going to the aftermarket for lighter wheels, bigger brakes, enhanced aerodynamics and additional horsepower. Manufacturers have since gotten smart, and many now offer in-house performance part divisions to keep customer dollars...
