Mercedes-Benz has a new generation of its CLA compact sedan on its hands and this week we spotted a prototype for the high-performance CLA45 from Mercedes-AMG. We hear the car will come with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and over 400 horsepower.

Another vehicle we spied was Land Rover's redesigned Defender. The icon was phased out in 2016 due to emissions regulations, but Land Rover plans to introduce a new generation later this year with a brand new design.
2020 Jeep Gladiator
We had our first experience in Jeep's new Gladiator, a mid-size pickup ready to do battle against the Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, and Toyota Tacoma. We found the truck dressed for battle in our first drive review, though it was not without its flaws.
2019 Mercedes-AMG CLS53
Another vehicle we tested was the Mercedes-AMG CLS53. Thanks to its mild-hybrid powertrain, you get V-8 performance with the thirst of a six, though you also miss out on a gnarly sound.
2019 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport Indy 500 pace car

1959 Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur

2020 Ford Escape
Ford unveiled a redesigned Escape. The compact crossover has taken on a much softer look. That was strategic as Ford is preparing a more butch appearance for the upcoming baby Bronco.
