Sedans

Cadillac's plans for a new, range-topping, rear-drive flagship sedan are no secret; the questions lie in the details. What will it be named? When will it arrive? And what will it look like? The last question, at least, we can give a partial answer to: it will look like this. Or, at the least, it...

Talk of the return of the Volkswagen Phaeton to U.S. shores dates back almost as far as the car’s exit in 2006. Most recently it was reported that a concept previewing the next-generation Phaeton, due out in the next year or two, was scheduled to be revealed at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show...

We've been hearing about this for some time now. Word on the street is that Porsche is working on a Panamera Junior, which will aim to do battle against the likes of the Maserati Ghibli and higher-end versions of the BMW 5-Series and Jaguar XF. Most of the news around this potential machine...

The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge bears a name that Formula One fans will no doubt associate with some of the greatest racing in the sport. But does Infiniti’s hotted-up Q50 deserve to wear the name? As yet, our answer is no--it’s just a concept car with no real powertrain. But, if Infiniti...

The 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid offers all-weather traction and V-8-like performance, with the fuel-efficiency of a four-cylinder. That's one way to sum up this tech-loaded luxury flagship, which will begin reaching Acura dealerships next spring. But after spending a few hours driving it, we can...

Whether production of the Holden Commodore remained in Australia or not beyond the life of the current VF model, one thing was certain, future versions would be based on General Motors’ global platforms. We can now reveal that the global platform destined for the next-generation Commodore...

Maserati’s new 2014 Ghibli is priced from just $65,600, putting it in direct competition with higher-specced versions of Germany’s popular mid-size luxury sedans such as the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The entry-level pricing gets you a rear-wheel-drive Ghibli with 345...

Kia is following the path of its corporate cousin Hyundai by unveiling a new upmarket sedan complete with powerful V-6 and V-8 engines, an impressive design and plenty of techno-wizardry. That new upmarket sedan is the 2015 Kia K900, which makes its debut today at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show...

In quick succession, NISMO has expanded its lineup from the sole 370Z NISMO to include a handful of new offerings such as the Juke NISMO, Juke NISMO RS and the GT-R NISMO. But the official tuner to Nissan has much more on the drawing board and at the Los Angeles Auto Show today it’s providing...

If Monte Carlo had a sister city, would it be Sin City? Glitzy condo canyons, matte-red Italias parked in no-parking zones, lots of places named "Palace," and an ample supply of two-name celebrities like Roger Moore, Gina Lollobrigida, and Ringo Starr--yup, it all kind of hangs together there...

There are many luxurious sedans on the roads these days. There are even many very fast ones. There are a few that do both luxury and the performance exceedingly well. But none of them look as primally dashing, as sensually satisfying as the 2014 Audi RS 7. Of course, the RS 7 started with the...

It’s cliche to call the Panamera a four-door 911, but in truth, that’s the most accurate one-liner to peg the car’s nature. Pushed hard, very few other sport sedans really keep up—or prove so willing to run hard. Left to the casual cruising even a 911 is more likely to do...

You're familiar with The Beast, right? No, not the one whose name adds up to 666. The presidential limo that looks like a Cadillac but really isn't. If you're not up to speed, get cozy and learn some more about the combat-grade mega-limo that has ferried the President since Dubya's tenure. Of...

The Mercedes-Benz S Class is all new this year, and with it, we get an all-new S63 AMG with 4MATIC all-wheel drive. If there is such a thing as diamond icing on a platinum cake, this is it. First things first: this isn't a driver's car, at least not in the way a BMW M3, or a Ferrari 458 Italia, or...

Composite wheels could offer weight savings over conventional alloy wheels.

There’s a new BMW model out testing, and though it looks a bit like the 3-Series Gran Turismo that we’ve seen and are expecting to be revealed soon, it’s actually an entirely different vehicle. That vehicle is the long-rumored BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe, a four-door coupe based on...

The 2014 Cadillac CTS packages grand design with impressive performance (in the Vsport model), building on the car that almost single-handedly revived the brand's reputation for design and excellence. Now it bears the honor of being the one-millionth Cadillac ever built. Rolled off the line at the...

The new 550-horsepower Jaguar XJR is indeed a stormer of a big sedan. We knew that much, even before heading out for our first drive in one this past week. But what we learned after a few hours behind the wheel is that this super-sedan (in size and performance) retains all of what comprises the...

Out on the Interstate, barely ten minutes into our first drive of the 2014 Infiniti Q50, my co-driver and I had already found something to marvel about in this sport sedan: We could carry on a quiet conversation. That might sound like a low bar—and there's much more truly marvelous...

A facelifted version of Audi’s A8 flagship sedan is due to be revealed at this September’s 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, and we have a new batch of spy shots of a prototype as it undergoes final evaluation. The facelifted A8 is expected to arrive on the market early next year as a 2015...
