  • 2017 Volvo S90 R-Design

    Based on our initial impression driving Volvo’s new S90 and V90, the Swedish automaker is poised to make some serious inroads in the mid-size luxury segment currently dominated by German brands. But what the S90 and V90 still lack compared to their rivals are performance-oriented options, something Volvo is starting to address. Only a few weeks ago the automaker’s in-house tuner Polestar unveiled modifications to boost the output on the various S90 and V90 models. Volvo has now followed that up with new R-Design packages that give the cars a sporty look and feel. Similar to the...

  • 2018 Audi RS 4 Avant spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    Audi’s new A4 is just arriving in showrooms, in standard and sporty S4 variants. Now we have spy shots of a prototype for the high-performance RS 4 variant, specifically an RS 4 Avant wagon. Unfortunately, it’s not clear if the car will be offered in the United States. You’ll recall Audi doesn’t sell the current RS 4 here as the car comes in wagon form only—and the same is likely to be true for the new RS 4. Instead, we may be treated with a new RS 5 Sportback. But getting back to the spy shots, we know this is the RS 4 because of its pumped fenders, aggressive...

  • 2017 Audi S4 Avant

    The latest generation of the Audi S4 was revealed in sedan form at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show.

The car debuts March 1 at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show and is pretty much identical to the sedan apart from its more practical body. S4 Avant...
