The Chicago Auto Show isn’t one of the major events on the auto industry calendar but at this year’s show, on this week, we saw quite the bevy of new model reveals. The highlight, no doubt, was the unexpected reveal of Chevrolet’s new Camaro 1LE. Unlike previous 1LE packages, this time around buyers can add the package to V-6-equipped cars as well as the V-8 model. Another major surprise was the return of the Nissan Armada full-size SUV nameplate. This time it’s worn by a version of Nissan’s Patrol SUV sold overseas. The vehicle is also closely related to the...

2017 Mercedes-AMG SLC43, 2016 Nissan GT-R NISMO, Dodge Charger Barn Find: This Week’s Top PhotosMercedes-Benz this week unveiled its new SLC. The car is essentially an updated version of the current SLK and we’re sad to report that there’s no longer a V-8-powered model from Mercedes-AMG. Instead, there’s the new SLC43 which packs a twin-turbocharged V-6 good for 362...

With Porsche’s Boxster and Cayman seeing some significant improvements over the years, especially in hardcore Boxster Spyder and Cayman GT4 form, it’s getting harder and harder to justify the expense of opting for the 911. We learned this recently after driving the 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder. We also drove the complete 2016 Aston Martin range, from the entry-level Vantage GT right up to the Vanquish flagship. Although they may not be the fastest cars in their class, Aston Martins are certainly some of the more beautiful. The Lotus Exige S is a light car. Somehow, though, Lotus...

2017 Bentley Bentayga, 2016 Rezvani Beast X, 2015 Lamborghini Huracán: This Week’s Top PhotosBentley’s Bentayga is brilliant behind the wheel, as we discovered on our first drive. We particularly like it in this purple hue, which no doubt will be a popular option for the big, luxurious SUV.

2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe, Ferrari F12 tdf, Carbon-Bodied Mustang: This Week’s Top PhotosWe recently drove Mercedes-AMG’s all-new C63 Coupe in beautiful Malaga. We tested the slightly sportier S variant and found it to be extremely impressive behind the wheel. But is it better than the likes of the BMW M4 and Cadillac ATS-V Coupe?

Easily the star of this past week’s 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, Mazda’s RX-Vision concept is simply begging to be put into production. Unfortunately, the RX-Vision is purely a concept Mazda built to preview a next-generation rotary powertrain the automaker says will eventually be put into a production model. The good news is that the RX-Vision’s styling is likely to have influenced the upcoming production model. Another red beauty on show in Tokyo was Nissan’s updated Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo concept. Like the Mazda above, this sexy Nissan isn’t destined for...

Here’s a little snippet: “Handling is where the Camaro peels off the muscle car label for good—it's narrower and leaner in absolute terms: it’s how much lighter it feels that’s...

This Week’s Top Photos: The 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show EditionOne of the coolest attractions at this past week’s Frankfurt Auto Show wasn’t a new model but rather a series of vehicles set to appear in the upcoming James Bond movie Spectre.

Cadillac this week gave us our first official glimpse at its upcoming XT5, the successor to the SRX and the second model to adopt the automaker’s new naming strategy (the first was the CT6). The XT5 is certainly a visual improvement over the aging SRX, and we can’t wait to take it for a spin. It goes on sale early next year, as a 2017 model. Brown seems to be a popular color for SUVs as there were two other high-riding models revealed this week that featured the same hue. Another was Bentley’s new Bentayga. In addition to being the fastest, most powerful and most luxurious...

Ferrari 488 Spider, 2016 Cadillac CTS-V, 2016 Mazda MX-5: This Week’s Top PhotosLike the famous gated shifter, Ferrari's naturally aspirated V-8s are now a thing of the past. But with 660 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque on tap, we can't imagine drivers will resent the snails on Maranello's new 488 Spider all that much. Cadillac's first CTS-V arrived on the scene with...
