While all of us would love to climb behind the wheel of the utterly insane, 545-horsepower Nissan Juke-R, few will ever get that chance.

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...

The 2014 Mazda Mazda6 is coming, and a new teaser video gives us a glimpse--but no more--of what to expect.
