  • 2011 Cadillac Ciel Concept

    In May of 2012 we learned that General Motors was working on a new platform for large cars that was tentatively named the "Omega" platform. The platform was to be mostly new but would share some elements with the smaller Alpha platform found in the Cadillac ATS and CTS in order to keep development costs and weight down. At the time, we learned that the Omega platform would be used initially for two new sedans, one to replace the Cadillac XTS and the other to serve as a true flagship for the Cadillac brand. One of these sedans, the XTS replacement, is already in the works and is expected to be...

  • 2014 BMW X5

    Unveiled just over a month ago, the 2014 BMW X5 adds some interesting new features and options, but the additions have increased the price by more than $6,000 to $53,725. Last year's X5 xDrive 35i started at $47,500, and included standard all-wheel drive. The new entry price is for the rear-wheel drive 2014 X5 sDrive35i--a difference that most buyers won't likely notice in actual use, but might feel is a shortcoming at the dealership. The price differential includes new standard equipment, however, such as: auto start-stop; BMW's latest iDrive 4.2 infotainment system with navigation and...

    2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe: First Drive

    Texas loves its mythology, but it's not always supported by cold facts. "Everything's bigger here" fits on a bumper sticker. Austin's a hub for Smart cars.

    2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG first drive review

    Mainstream success gets a bad rap. Most of the time it's richly deserved, emphasis on the "rich." Bieber, Budweiser, Burger King--they're all huge, and hugely profitable. But even at their very best, they're baseline goods, zero hashmarks on the pop-culture barometer. When it's done correctly, with...
