  • 2013 Acura ILX

    OK, so it looks a lot like a Civic with Acura's grille and some fancier folds, but Acura promises the ILX will deliver the luxury goods--at a bargain price. While that remains to be seen in our own testing, these photos should give you a better idea of what the new compact luxury sedan looks like in person, in production form. The 2013 Acura ILX first made its debut in concept form at the Detroit Auto Show last month. At this week's Chicago Auto Show, Acura revealed the production version, and it looks nearly identical to the concept. Snatching its powertrains from the new Civic, the ILX gets...

  • 2013 BMW 3-Series  -  First U.S. Drive, February 2012

    BMW has given the 3-Series its most radical set of changes in many years, and because we—and sport-sedan owners and enthusiasts in general—so often use the 3-Series as a benchmark, maybe even the archetype for sport sedans, it’s time to take note. Which is what we did this past week; while we got a taste a few months back, with a preview drive of the 3-Series, we’ve just returned from driving the new 3-Series models for the first time on U.S. highways, and on California’s Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, where we put the new model through a battery of hot laps. The new...
