The all-new 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a blast to drive, so the upcoming AMG variant should be an absolute hoot. Prototypes for the car have been spotted wearing the least camouflage gear we’ve seen yet, which means an auto show debut can’t be far. The AMG variant of the latest...

BMW’s new M4 has made its debut in coupe form, and soon it will spawn a convertible. Prototypes for the M4 Convertible have been spotted wearing the least camouflage gear we’ve seen yet, which means an auto show debut can’t be far. Like the M4 coupe (and the M3 sedan), the M4...
