    Ford’s working on a redesign for the Focus and one of the prototypes has just been spotted. The prototype is for the new compact's wagon body style which is unlikely to be offered in the United States. Instead, we’re likely to receive sedan and hatchback body styles only, just like with the current Focus. (One change, though, is that the cars will be sourced from China instead of locally.) If it were sold here, the Focus Wagon would challenge the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, and to a lesser degree the Subaru Outback. Overseas, it will face competition from several compact wagons...

    Dutch coachbuilder working on the Tesla Model S wagon of your dreams

    It's almost strange to think Tesla doesn't produce its own Model S wagon, since the Silicon Valley-based carmaker has a way of doing things differently. Alas, Tesla does not in fact build a wagon—but Dutch firm RemetzCar will. The coachbuilder, based outside of Amsterdam, has begun production...

    BMW explains what to look for when buying an E34 5-Series

    The BMW 5-Series has long been a beloved uber sedan. In its most basic form, it represents a powerful and moderately upscale entry in the mid-size luxury sedan segment. At the upper end of the scale you have the mighty M5, which remains the measuring stick by which other sports sedans are measured...

    Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo gets 680-HP Turbo S E-Hybrid range-topper

    The most powerful Porsche in regular production is actually a hybrid. The car is the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid whose plug-in hybrid powertrain dishes out a meaty 680 horsepower and 626 pound-feet of torque. (The limited-edition 911 GT2 RS is actually more powerful but you can’t buy one as...

  • This is the AMG Hammer wagon
    There's an AMG Hammer wagon, and it's as awesome as you think

    Back in the day, if you were a wealthy enough individual with a penchant for cushy Autobahn crushers, you'd give the folks at AMG a ring on the phone. They started life as a Mercedes-Benz tuning company before being fully absorbed by the mothership in 2005. In the late 1980', you could buy a...

  • 2018 Opel Insignia GSi Sports Tourer

    Hot wagons are a rarity in the United States but over in Europe they’re all the rage, outselling their sedan equivalents in many cases. Opel will use this week’s 2017 Frankfurt auto show to introduce its latest high-performance wagon, the Insignia GSi. We’ve already seen the car in fastback sedan form, which we’re getting as the 2018 Buick Regal GS, but a wagon option, which Opel refers to as a Sports Tourer, will also be offered. General Motors’ Australian subsidiary Holden will get its own version of the Regal GS dubbed the Commodore VXR, and like the Insignia...

  • 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo
    2018 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo first drive review: Practically perfect in (almost) every way

    Neither jaw-droppingly gorgeous nor particularly utilitarian, the 2018 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is nonetheless highly endearing. It’s the latest in a line of cars from Porsche that seem to do little wrong either on paper or in reality. It's practically perfect, but not all that...

    This Mercedes G-Wagen/E-Class mash-up is the off-roader we've always wanted

    No, this is not some sham or gimmick of a rendering—this Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain 4x4² is very real and it comes straight from the brilliantly twisted mind of a Mercedes-Benz engineer. First, let's start with where this project began. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain was...

  • An Audi RS6 modified to look like the Mutt Cutts mobile from Dumb & Dumber
    Someone turned an Audi RS 6 into the "Dumb and Dumber" Mutt Cutts van

    The original Mutt Cutts van started life as a Ford Econoline. Word has it the particular model was a 1984 Econline, before it donned the shag and was transformed into an all-time great screen machine. Another all-time great is the Audi RS 6 Avant. The latest version comes in Plus trim which offers...

  • 2018 Buick Regal TourX

    Buick’s new Regal TourX soft-roader wagon offers superb value thanks to sharp pricing. Cars Direct has learned from order guides that the 2018 Regal TourX is priced at $29,995, including destination. That’s significantly cheaper than potential rivals such as the Audi A4 Allroad and Volvo V60 Cross Country, both of which start above $40k, though it’s still more expensive than the Subaru Outback which starts at $26,810. We’re talking about a German-built wagon with raised suspension, all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4, and an 8-speed automatic...

    BMW M550d arrives with quad-turbocharged diesel

    Diesel is falling out of favor in many regions, including in Europe where the fuel sells at a significant discount to gasoline and has been the preferred choice of buyers for decades. Automakers, too, are looking more towards electrification to improve efficiency rather than diesel technology...

  • 2018 Opel Insignia Country Tourer

    Last night we were treated with the reveal of the 2018 Buick Regal TourX, a wagon—yes, a new Buick wagon!—with all-wheel drive, a raised ride height, and underbody protection. It’s not unique to Buick, however, as General Motors will sell the vehicle in Europe as the Opel Insignia Country Tourer (Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer in the United Kingdom) and in Australia and New Zealand as the Holden Commodore Tourer. Both the Opel and Holden models were revealed today. Opel and Holden also get the Regal TourX minus the soft-roader qualities, labeled the Insignia Sports Tourer...

    2018 Buick Regal coming as hatchback and wagon, but no sedan

    Mid-size cars might be yesterday's news (even though they're still the third-largest vehicle segment in the U.S.), but Buick is sticking with them. Sort of. Ahead of the 2017 New York auto show, GM's near-premium brand introduced a fresh take on its mid-size car with the new 2018 Regal Sportback...

  • 2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country
    2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country first drive review: the wagon Americans should want

    Americans have made it clear. We don't like wagons anymore and haven't for quite some time. That makes it hard for automakers to justify building them despite enthusiasts screaming and running with pitchforks. This, of course, presents a problem for an automaker like Volvo, whose history is tied to...

    2017 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar first drive review: the 365-day sports cars
