When Spyker showed its B6 Venator concept at this year’s Geneva Auto Show, it was easy to write off the shapely coupe as just another design exercise from a company struggling to find its niche (and even stay afloat in a changing market). The response to the B6 Venator, however, was overwhelmingly positive, leading the luxury sports car brand to announce its production. Per a Spyker press release, the B6 Venator coupe will “kick off the brand’s global resurgence.” Designed to compete in what Spyker is calling the “high luxury sports sector,” the B6 Venator...

2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid Bows In New York
If the 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid looks familiar from the outside, it should; after all, it’s been on the market as the Infiniti JX35, sans the hybrid drivetrain, since last year. Remember when Infiniti went through its alphabet soup naming exercise? The JX35 is now the QX60. What’s new...

When Hyundai first revealed its Equus several years ago, adding a model to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Lexus LS, or Jaguar XJ, among others, seemed downright outlandish. But what was seen as far-fetched then is now seeming quite smart.

On the outside, a new grille and front fascia...
