The next iteration of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class is rumored to be U.S.-bound, and we already have a good idea of what it looks like, both inside and out, from spy shots during testing. But according to a new report out of the U.K., there's a whole new car hiding just beneath the surface. In fact...

Only 500 units of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS were to be built, and they've all sold in less than two months since the official unveiling August 25 at the Moscow Auto Salon. Despite the $245,000 starting price, it's not all that surprising--the GT2 RS is Porsche's highest performance, most powerful...

The 2011 Infiniti EX is coming into the latest model year with a few minor updates to keep it fresh in the eyes of luxury crossover buyers, especially with newcomers like the 2011 BMW X3 and the ever-popular Lexus RX on the prowl. The biggest changes are the introduction of a new seven-speed...

The 2011 CL550 starts from $114,025, while the 2011 CL63 AMG starts from $151,125, and the S63 AMG sedan slots between...

Facelifts. Whether done to people or cars, they can give new life to a pleasing but less-than-fresh look, or they can stretch something old into something hideous. By the looks of these spy photos, the C-Class AMG Estate's mid-life lift is one of the good ones. We've already seen the standard...

Bringing the attack to the biggest of the big boys in the volume luxury car business is a tall task, but not one that balks Hyundai. The 2011 Hyundai Equus sedan, sized and feature-packed to compete heads-up with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series will be at dealerships in...

UPDATE: The sketch above isn't actually a design concept for the rumored X4. It's a design concept sketch of the X3, as little as it may resemble the final product. For now, we're filing the X4 in the "probable, but not yet confirmed" bin. ------------------- The idea of a "sports activity coupe"...

The growing push towards smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles is leading the charge for changing consumer perceptions of what defines a luxury car--with size no longer the differentiator but rather technology, quality and design. Nowhere is this more the case than in Europe where even the...

It’s hard to imagine that one of the best looking Maybachs on the road today isn’t actually a Maybach but a custom mega-coupe designed and engineered by the guys at Germany’s Xenatec. Using a donor Maybach 57S as their blank canvas, Xenatec engineers convert the four-door sedan to...

At last month’s 2010 Paris Auto Show Lotus showed off no less than six concept cars that the automaker intends on producing in the coming years, and one of the standouts was the new 2014 Lotus Elite grand tourer. Described as the embodiment of Lotus’ new era, the striking Lotus Elite...

When the Chrysler 200C EV made its debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, the automotive world was at once shocked by the attractive design and pessimistic about its then-electric drivetrain. While we don't get the 200C EV shown, we do get one much better looking, if still somewhat Sebring-ish, sedan...

These two cars are extraordinary. There’s just no other way to describe family trucksters that can bomb to 60 mph faster than any readily available sports car could just a few decades ago—and darn near as fast as even the swiftest sports cars on the market today (we’ll presume a...

Aston Martin has announced today that its Cygnet minicar based on the Toyota iQ is no longer a concept and is soon to become reality.

I've had several encounters with the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe before, including the press launch in California.

Production of the Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid luxury sedan has just kicked off at the Valmet plant in Finland, with the first car off the line being shown recently at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, but there’s already talk about several other models in the pipeline and possibly an IPO issue...

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK will bring some new features to the range, including the debut of one feature that is sure spread across the lineup: the Magic Sky Control roof. Teased here in a photo leaked ahead of the car's 2011 Geneva Motor Show debut, the roof looks simple enough. But looks can be...
