The 2013 BMW M5 and M6 Coupe and Convertible are, unquestionably, very good cars.

We have the latest spy images of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E Class Coupe facelift for your consideration, and from what we can see, the facelift will be minor.

The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover has been spied in testing, and it looks pretty sharp--though we're not entirely sure the proportions are working.

If you’re lucky enough to own either a new Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ sport coupe, here’s a heads up - both cars are being recalled, but not for a manufacturing defect or safety defect on the car itself. Instead, early versions of the printed owners manual contain incorrect information on...
