  • Teaser for Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe debuting at 2018 Geneva auto show

    Mercedes-AMG will reveal its standalone sedan at next month's 2018 Geneva International Motor Show, ahead of an expected market launch late this summer. Curiously, the Affalterbach tuner is referring to the car as the “GT Coupe,” despite prototypes confirming the car will come with four doors and a rear hatch. It follows parent company Mercedes-Benz's penchant for calling anything with a low roof a coupe, hence the naming of even 4-door SUVs as coupes. No further information has been revealed though we already have a good idea of what to expect from the reveal of the GT sedan...

    The revival of Maybach as a Mercedes-Benz sub-brand has been a runaway success. As an example, during the course of 2017 one out of every 10 S-Classes sold was a Maybach, with China, Russia and the United States gobbling up most of the cars. Mercedes, for the 2019 model year, is taking new steps to...

    2019 VW Arteon video preview

    Volkswagen splits its mid-size sedan lineup two ways. For the mainstream consumer, there's the Passat. Kinda plain, but smart.

Speaking with Auto Express, the brand's CEO Thomas Ingenlath, previously the head of design at Volvo, said the Polestar 2 will be revealed in 2019 before entering production in 2020. He...

    Lexus will return to the Super Bowl on February 4 with a brand new advertisement featuring the 2018 LS 500 F Sport and plenty of help from the "Black Panther" cast. It's no coincidence T'Challa, better known as the Black Panther, will help highlight the new LS 500. The protagonist in the latest comic book-inspired film pilots an LC 500, which also makes a cameo appearance in the Super Bowl 52 spot. The spot revolves around T'Challa's recovery of stolen vibranium, a mythical ore found only in the Black Panther’s home of Wakanda. Upon retrieval, T'Challa's sister Shuri quickly jumps into...

  • 2018 Lexus LS 500 F Sport

    Lexus has introduced a significantly improved LS for 2018. The car has been designed from the ground up around a lightweight platform shared with the LC coupe, and it features two new powertrains, one of which is a hybrid. The good news is that there's only a small premium for all this as the new LS is priced from $75,995, including destination. That's only slightly up on the $73,515 starting price of the 2017 model. Despite the increase, the 2018 LS is still priced well below what the German brands ask for their respective full-size sedans. BMW’s 7-Series starts at $84,095 while the...

    2018 VW Passat GT: jazzed up, but only a little

    The 2018 VW Passat GT is not the 4-door GTI it could have been. That’s probably just fine with buyers looking for a little more zest in their mid-size sedan, however. For the most part, the Passat GT follows the standard souped-up mid-sizer playbook to a T. Or a GT, if you will. It rides on a...
