  • 2020 Bentley Continental GT Convertible, 2018 LA Auto Show
    The Bentley GT Convertible's best feature is one we'll hardly see

    Simon Blake is a disappearing artist. His most significant contribution to the new Bentley Continental GT Convertible is that it goes away in less than 20 seconds. That’s hardly enough time to consider Blake’s—and Bentley’s—achievements with the power-folding cloth...

The new look was previewed on the Essentia coupe concept unveiled at the 2018 New York auto show and is characterized by a trapezoidal grille and flat, dual-bar headlights. At the...

    Bentley took the wraps off of its redesigned Continental GT Convertible on Monday, ahead of the car's world debut on Wednesday at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show.

  • 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
    2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque first look: Sleek has a sequel

    When it first arrived in 2012, the Range Rover Evoque was quickly derided by pearl-clutching off-road purists who were still debating the merits of air conditioning, power windows, and fuel-injected engines. The sleek, small, luxury SUV grated those folks because the Evoque didn't have a hulking...

  • 2020 Genesis G90 leaked photos via Clién

    Ahead of the 2020 Genesis G90's debut at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show, leaked photos have at least partially spoiled the reveal of the flagship sedan's major design overhaul. Published to a Korean forum on Wednesday, a handful of pictures show the 2020 G90 inside and out. The front fascia is fairly evolutionary in nature, and the headlights certainly recall recent Volvos in our eyes. But Genesis will point to the Essentia coupe concept unveiled at the 2018 New York auto show as the car's formal inspiration. Key design traits the G90 pulls from the concept are a triangular-shaped grille and...

  • 2019 Kia K900
    2019 Kia K900 coddles buyers for $60,895

    The 2019 Kia K900 will do its best to sway buyers away from established luxury marques with a $60,895 base price, including the destination charge. That's about $10,000 more than a previous-generation K900 cost. However, we found the second-generation K900 much improved over the soft and wallowy...

    2018 Range Rover HSE Td6 first drive review: Tech overhaul, not tech overload

    The Range Rover has set a high bar for luxury SUVs. It was one of the first of its kind and few can compete with its ability to go anywhere, any time, in any weather in a leather-lined interior.
