UPDATE: The 2014 Porsche Panamera has been revealed. Click here for all the details. When it made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2009, many were critical of the Porsche Panamera's looks. It continues to have its detractors, but most have come to realize just how impressive the Panamera is in terms of performance, luxury, and utility. Soon, Porsche's only sedan will be getting a mid-cycle update, and these are the latest spy shots of the changes. First and foremost you'll notice that the changes aren't dramatic. Anyone hoping for the svelte lines of the Panamera Sport Turismo concept...

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG Video Preview: New York Auto ShowWith a pricetag of $48,375, total output of 355 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, and a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds, the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is, how you say, interesting. It's safe to assume no car this year has occupied so many pixels of conversation among our staff Skypers--and will...

When Hyundai first revealed its Equus several years ago, adding a model to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Lexus LS, or Jaguar XJ, among others, seemed downright outlandish. But what was seen as far-fetched then is now seeming quite smart. Now for 2014, as previewed at the 2013 New York Auto Show, Hyundai is giving the Equus a significant refresh, including some subtle changes on the outside, a redesigned instrument panel, new cabin materials, suspension improvements, and a host of new active-safety technologies and upgrades. On the outside, a new grille and front fascia...

American luxury just took another leap forward. The 2014 Cadillac CTS, on display tomorrow at the New York Auto Show, raises the bar for design, power, and value in the luxury sedan segment, continuing the CTS' legacy in forging new ground for Cadillac and the U.S. This isn't the same CTS we've come to know and love, however. In fact, it's hugely different in almost every respect. Larger, more dramatically styled, and far more powerful (excepting the previous generations CTS-V), the 2014 Cadillac CTS moves up a notch to compete with the BMW 5-Series, Audi A6, and Mercedes-Benz E Class more...

The second generation of the full-size Buick LaCrosse sedan dates back to the 2010 model year, and sales have remained relatively consistent for Buick in the United States market. The LaCrosse is also a hot commodity in China, so General Motors is hesitant to fix something that isn’t broken. Nonetheless, Buick is rolling out a refreshed LaCrosse for the 2014 model year, in an attempt to lure more buyers with updated styling and added available content. If you’re looking for big changes in Buick’s full-size sedan, however, you’re likely going to be disappointed...
