Next week’s New York International Auto Show will bring on the floor of the Javits Convention Center a brand new interpretation of the 2020 Acura TLX sedan, one that has been "hand crafted in the same location from where the NSX supercar comes from." Called PMC Edition – PMC...
The United States has the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, but over in Europe, Audi is much obliged to offer the S6 and S7 the 3.0 TDI. Assisted by an electric compressor and 48-volt electrical system, the six-cylinder turbo diesel develops 349 PS (345 horsepower) and 700 Nm (516 pound-feet). It’s...
Twinned with the Lamborghini Huracan Evo, the 2020 Audi R8 V10 now has a sticker price in the United States of America. The most expensive of the lot is the Decennium special edition, which retails at $214,995 excluding $1,250 for the destination charge and $1,300 for the gas-guzzler tax....
At the end of last year, BMW introduced the X7, the largest of the SUVs made to date by the Bavarian carmaker and a brand new nameplate to its lineup of cars. Described as the next stage in the “ongoing model offensive in the luxury segment,” the seven-seater is now once again...
The inline-five turbo harks back to an era when Audi was making the rounds in rallying. But these days, the 2.5-liter TFSI can be experienced even in the TT RS. Redesigned for the 2020 model year, the five-cylinder engine develops 394 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. With the help of the S...
We have to face facts: the crossovers is the king of the hill right now. The sales gods have been so good to it that automakers are trying to appease them with offerings of performance and body kits. We're 90% convinced that Ford is going to offer an ST version of its new CUV, the...
Audi did say this was the last generation of V6 and V8 engines they were going to develop, but we didn't believe them. Today, out of nowhere, both the S6 and S7 were revealed to have 3-liter TDI lumps. Sure, the powertrain has enough performance for everyday use and is ideal for meeting those...
MINI has begun track testing for the exclusive JCW GP model, which was spied recently near the Nurburgring. Our first spyshots reveal a hot hatch like no other.

Mercedes will flood motor shows and news sections with its numerous debuts this month, one of them being the GLB-Class.

2018 hurt a number of European automakers, as new emissions regulations required extensive and costly re-testing. However, the EU has even stricter rules on the way. What will that cost us? Everything. By 2021, automakers will have to lower their fleet emissions to just 95 grams of CO2 per...
Mercedes released a trailer suggesting the GLB was going to be revealed soon, but word got out that the GLS-Class is also set for an imminent debut. Ahead of its New York Auto Show presentation, we got fresh spyshots with the uber-SUV wearing next to no camo. The only parts that are covered up are...
Crossovers, SUVs, and trucks are all the rage, and as expected, Maserati embraced the trend with the Levante. After being criticized for not offering a V8 option, the eight-cylinder engine was added to the lineup. Now the House of the Trident levels up with a customization program for the Levante....
smart is like the opposite of GM or Chrysler in that it's too small to fail. Daimler may not be making all the tiny car profit in the world, but the emissions from the fortwo and forfour are downright essential to offset all those large V8s people like to buy. EU emissions targets are so...
Even though Infiniti is pooling resources into an all-new platform for the next Q50, the current generation hasn’t been forgotten. Dwindling sales didn’t stop the premium brand from launching the Signature Edition, which will be presented in the flesh at the 2019 New York Auto Show....
At this edition of the New York International Show, Subaru will take the veil off the all-new Outback.
