The baby Mercedes-Benz CLS four-door coupe is finally here, and its name is CLA. This compact coupe-like sedan kicks off the first of three versions of the Mercedes A Class-based family cars arriving here in America over the next few years. The CLA also marks the return of a front-wheel drive Mercedes-Benz to our shores here in the U.S. market. Wearing a base price of about $30,000 the most striking thing about the CLA is its silhouette. The sleek lines, frameless windows, and large shoulder line give the car a terrific stance. The interior of the CLA has an SLK feel to it, with five round...

The 2014 Infiniti Q50, the replacement for the aging G37 Sedan, has finally made its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and while we weren’t completely enamored after seeing the initial press photos, now that we’ve seen it live we must admit that the new 3-Series and C Class fighter is one charming four-door. The car is well-proportioned and its character lines add a certain level of aggression, but not too much like on some rival models. We're particularly fond of the rear fenders, which give the car a powerful stance. While the Q50’s exterior barely resembles that of the...

Toyota invested significant money in developing a carbon fiber manufacturing business to construct the Lexus LFA. Originally, its goal was to streamline the process, in hopes of reducing the cost to produce carbon fiber components. As Toyota soon learned, carbon fiber component manufacturing doesn’t take well to automation. Now that the Lexus LFA is out of production, Toyota has stated that it will employ carbon fiber in other vehicles, largely to avoid shuttering its carbon fiber manufacturing facility. The first such vehicle appears to be the Toyota Mark X G Sport concept, which...
