Ever since Alfa Romeo came out with the Giulia Quadrifoglio, there was a huge problem with the V6-engined, rear-wheel-drive sedan from Italy. More to the point, the loudest setting of the quad-tip exhaust was available in Race Mode, which also turns off the traction control and stability control....
Earlier this month, Ford revealed the 2020 Kuga and 2020 Escape on the C2 vehicle architecture of the Focus. According to executive vice president of product development and purchasing Hau Thai-Tang, there’s another crossover coming on the C2. “The off-road utility will be more...
Nothing happens by mistake when it comes to official unveilings, so it's not a coincidence that the 992 Porsche 911 Targa prototype has made its first Nurburgring appearance just as the 2020 Porsche 911 Speedster was introduced at the New York Auto Show. We've already discussed the...
Nissan won’t be bringing many novelties at this year’s New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), so the task of being a head turner was handed once again to the 370Z and the latest of its many special edition incarnations. This year, the Japanese are celebrating the birth, 50 years...
You know that feeling when you get the sense of being uber-quick on the Nurburgring and something that shows up in your rear-view mirror comes to prove you wrong? Well, test drivers sometimes go through the same kind of shenanigans, even when they're out putshing performance cars to the...
After nearly four years on the market, the current generation MINI Clubman 5-seater is getting a facelift this year, and the refreshed version was shown by the British this week, as a means, it seems, to counterbalance the weight of other premieres showing in Shanghai and New York. The...
A few months from now, Aston Martin’s new facility in St Athan will begin rolling out electric cars, as the luxury carmaker is joining the pack for a piece of the rising market segment. The first model in the lineup is the Rapide E, pompously presented this week at the Shanghai Auto Show....
Honda blasted onto the scene at Auto Shanghai with the X-NV Concept this year. It's an EV, but looks nothing like the retro-inspired ones they've previewed in the past year. To explain what this represents means we'll have to blast you with lots of letters. You see, the X-NV...
Toyota has repeatedly said no to electric vehicles or made it seem they were coming further down the line. So when a battery-only version of the C-HR was unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2019, we were a little surprised. You may not know it, but you're actually looking at two cars, not one. The...
The all-new Nissan Sylphy just made its debut in China today. It's a compact nameplate you're probably not familiar with, but you should pay close attention, as it could preview the successor to the Sentra in America. U.S. models are traditionally less bold than their direct Asian...
The A238 E-Class Cabrio is basically still a new car, making its debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. However, the entire E-Class family is currently receiving a facelift, and this seems to affect it as well. Mercedes used to be famous for its convertible models: SL, SLK, CLK and so on. They were...
Having a fleet of luxury minivans in Japan and the iconic Lexus brand, Toyota came up with the LM 300h, a beautiful vehicle that makes the Chrysler Pacifica look ordinary. This is a brand new nameplate that's been a couple of years in the making and made its official debut today at Auto...
Every Russian oligarch collects at least one expensive SUV that the wife can drive and a super-fast four-door that can race a speeding bullet from his business rivals. For many years, the no-brainer choice was the Porsche Panamera Turbo, but Stuttgart seems to be dropping the ball recently, so...
The still not fully understood craving of the Chinese for long-wheelbase cars is more than satisfied this week at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show, where a number of mostly European carmakers are showing stretched versions of their most recent cars. For BMW, the star of the event is the new 3...
As you’re well aware, MINI plans to BMW i3s-ify the three-door hatchback for the 2020 model year. Previewed by the Electric Concept, the production model is available to pre-order in France exclusively as a long-term lease that costs 300 euros per month. Coming this November and expected to...
