In terms of displacement, we’re not sure that “something big is coming to the LC this year.” Our guess is that Moe Durand might be referring to a twin-turbo V8 under the hood of the LC F, the most performance-oriented Lexus following the LFA supercar. Speaking to Car Buzz, the...
A silver-painted PHEV serves as the 30 millionth Passat ever made. No other mid-size car comes close to that figure, and looking at the bigger picture, production of the Volkswagen Passat overshadows that of the Beetle (both air-cooled and water-cooled). The station wagon-bodied Passat GTE in the...
Audi’s most serious electric vehicle to date, the e-tron SUV, is getting near the point when it will begin deliveries. To draw the much needed attention to the model, Audi dealers across the U.S. will begin next week demonstrations for customers that have not pre-ordered one yet. The e-tron...
Ferrari hasn't used a V6 engine in its cars since the 70s, when it introduced the Dino as a sub-brand that would give customers a more accessible path into the Prancing Horse realm. Well, Maranello is almost ready to bring back the V6 and this time around it will sell it under its own name....
Karma’s upcoming plug-in hybrid, the 2020 Revero, will be using a BMW-sourced three-cylinder in-line engine TwinPower Turbo to power the on-board electric generator, the California-based carmaker revealed on Thursday. The Revero, which is, in fact, a tweaked version of the Fisker Karma, has...
Is Ford going to make the Escape ST? For sure. Every other week, we talk about another performance SUV, and apparently, it's what the people want. Explorer ST, Edge ST, Ranger Raptor - at this point, the next GT40 is more likely to be an SUV than a supercar. A day ago, we witnessed the birth...
The Talisman is getting ready for a mid-life facelift, and it's minor by the look of it. This test prototype was just spied undergoing testing in Southern Europe. We never know what to expect with Renault. The Clio facelift took forever to develop but brought almost nothing new, while the...
Renault might have problems at the top right now, but the company's range is healthier than ever. These are our first photos of the current generation Megane undergoing testing in time for a mid-life facelift. Following the lead set by the Kadjar or the new Clio, the Megane compact will...
As popular as Jeep is over in the United States, the American brand had lots of trouble in Australia in the past handful of years. Sales figures are on the rise, though, and better still, the Grand Cherokee has been treated to the S-Limited and S-Overland editions. Special they’re not, but...
In the beginning of the year, Toyota’s luxury spinoff Lexus unveiled the refreshed version of the RC F line at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The model, overshadowed at the event by the highly anticipated premiere of the Supra, is once again in the...
Dear automakers, oversized grilles embellished with chrome are like grilles for teeth. There are trends in both regards, but we wouldn’t describe rappers with grilles or crossovers with oversized grilles as fashionable. Signed, everyone with an ounce of sense appearance-wise. As it happens,...
A touch of Polestar Engineered is coming this year to the range of cars sold on the U.S. market, as Volvo announced today the expansion of the XC60 and V60 ranges with the inclusion of the T8 plug-in hybrid system. The cars fitted with this powertrain will be available starting this summer, and...
Not long ago, the Nissan Juke had to compete with the MINI Cooper and the Audi A1 because it had no direct rivals. But now, it seems that every manufacturer has a small crossover. This is the second generation of France's champion, the Renault Captur, seen undergoing road testing with new...
Because the Bentayga cannot compare to the Cullinan, Bentley decided to make the full-size luxury SUV more interesting to younger customers with the V8 Design Series. Even in this configuration, the Flying B is no match for the Spirit of Ecstasy as far as specialness is concerned. “A...
Ford is on the offensive in both the United States and Europe as far as electrification is concerned. But there’s a problem with the Explorer Plug-In Hybrid. More to the point, the 13.1-kWh capacity of the lithium-ion battery doesn’t match the 13.6-kWh pack that Ford of Europe utilizes...
