Last year, Audi reinterpreted the Herman Melville novel Moby Dick to help promote the surefootedness of its quattro all-wheel-drive system in a new ad. The famous white whale of Melville's classic was depicted as an Audi A6, which remained elusive to Ahab, a tow truck driver whose job it was to...

Lexus will soon launch a new coupe to challenge the Audi A5, BMW 4-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, and just as those rivals all have high-performance variants so too will the Lexus.

It was four years ago at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show that we first saw BMW roll out its Vision EfficientDynamics concept and announce its commitment to launching an advanced sports car with stellar gas mileage based on it. At the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show in one month’s time, BMW will finally...

The new 550-horsepower Jaguar XJR is indeed a stormer of a big sedan. We knew that much, even before heading out for our first drive in one this past week. But what we learned after a few hours behind the wheel is that this super-sedan (in size and performance) retains all of what comprises the...

Audi’s latest A3 range already consists of a hatch, Sportback wagon and a sedan, and soon a convertible will be added, but further down the track we may see even more variants, one of which is tipped to be a MPV. The A3 MPV was championed by Audi’s recently ousted R&D chief Wolfgang...

Spend around a hundred grand on a performance sedan, and it had better put a smile on your face, right? After driving the 2014 Jaguar XFR-S up on Pacific Northwest mountain roads, as well as on the track, we can say that this very focused model—the fastest, most powerful Jaguar sedan...

Anyone who initially wrote off Tesla as not lasting should start officially eating their words. I mean that literally... go write down what you said on a piece of paper, stuff it in your mouth, and start chewing. The upstart automaker recently turned a profit in the first quarter of 2013, and then...

We’ll soon have our first definitive look at Infiniti’s upcoming compact car thanks to the unveiling of a new concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show next month. That new concept is the Q30, and it has been previewed today in sketch form. The production Q30 is not due until 2015, so...

Lexus’ sharp new 2014 IS sedan has just gone on sale and we so far have been quite impressed with its ride and handling. Unfortunately, a high-performance IS F version of the redesigned sedan is yet to be revealed so Lexus will continue selling its previous bodystyle IS F into the new model...

There's some funky name calling going on over at Infiniti, and it's all related to the G37 that's supposed to be yielding to the Q50.
