Is Jaguar working on an electrified vehicle destined to be called the EV-Type? We can’t be sure but the company has just registered the “EV-Type” trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as a similar registry in Europe. The registration was filed on October 30...

Is there the demand for an open-air touring car, sized and priced above the Continental GTC and based on the Mulsanne? That’s essentially what Bentley is asking with the new Grand Convertible Concept that it previewed at a studio space in West Hollywood, prior to the start of the Los Angeles...

It’s rare that a car aimed so squarely at a competitor does so much so differently and yet comes out with a very similar result. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S is just such a car. How so? Well, first of all, from the styling (look at that rear end), to the performance, to the pricing, the AMG GT...

Audi will present a new concept car at this week’s 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show to showcase a new design language crafted by Marc Lichte, who took over the design reins at the German automaker late last year. The concept was initially thought to be in the form of a grand four-door coupe, but...

Lincoln hopes to create a more upscale buying experience with its Black label service.

Audi’s third-generation TT has been with us for almost six months, during which time we’ve had a chance to take a quick spin as well as witness the arrival of the convertible variant. Now, finally, the new TT and TT Roadster are ready for their U.S. debut, which will be taking place...

While the high-performance RC F may have stolen much of the limelight, the Lexus RC's tamer RC 350 variant certainly shouldn’t be overlooked by anyone in the market for a sporty two-door with a bit of luxury. In the U.S. the 2015 RC is available with either a 3.5-liter V-6 in the RC 350 or a...

Audi’s smallest car, the A1 subcompact, has been on sale overseas since its launch back in 2010. It’s now received a mid-cycle update, which not only includes some changes to the styling but also the launch of the sporty S1 variant that we saw back at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The...

The Lamborghini Aventador Roadster is a supremely ridiculous machine. It has a body modeled after a future spaceship we haven't yet built. Power, of which there's plenty, is provided by a 6.5-liter V-12 engine that roars like an angry Kaiju set to do battle somewhere along the Pacific Rim. Finally...

If you produce a product, I'd have to assume you stand behind your work and your creation. How far would you be willing to go to prove this? Texas Armoring Corporation President and CEO Trent Kimball goes to the extreme to prove that his product is fit for duty. That's because Kimball builds...

Maserati’s Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans are still fresh on the market but they’re already receiving their first updates. The changes are being introduced for the 2015 model year and we’ll see them for the first time next week at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The most...

Germany doesn’t have a lock on great sport sedans—but it sure has more than its fair share. BMW’s 3-Series has had bragging rights for decades, and the Audi A4 has a strong game. So what about the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class? It’s making a harder sell than ever to win over...

Audi’s A6 and A7 have just received their respective mid-cycle updates, with the updated cars shown for the first time at the recent 2014 Paris Auto Show. They’re set to make their U.S. debut next week at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show but we’ve already got all the details. The...

Aston Martin's Lagonda nameplate is back thanks to an all-new 2015 sedan. It has simply been called the Lagonda sedan so far, but now we know it has an actual name. Say hello to Taraf. Well, that's the name the car will wear in its initial launch market of the Middle East. Initial reports stated...

Mercedes-Benz is overhauling its naming strategy in preparation for a flood of new models due to be released in the coming years. The changes aren’t as dramatic as those made recently by Infiniti and Cadillac, with many model names remaining unaffected, and they're only gradually being phased...

Let's get one thing straight right up front: Despite its model name, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG--soon to be a Mercedes-AMG GLA45--is no GL-like utility vehicle. It may have all-wheel drive, but the high-performance sibling of the far more common 2015 GLA250 model sits far closer to the...

American sports car brand Panoz has been making headlines lately with its Esperante Spyder, which has just been extensively updated. The car is available in basic Spyder or more potent Spyder GT variants, and this year is being offered as an exclusive 25th anniversary model. Panoz plans to build...
