    Unlike limousines, which are generally designed to coddle occupants in over-the-top luxury, livery cars are meant to get passengers to and from airports or business meetings in reasonable comfort. Sure, livery cars are a step down from limos, but they’re a big step up from the other alternative, taxi cabs. Worldwide, some 400 million customers annually make use of car services, meaning that selling new cars to the livery industry is big business. While Lincoln’s Town Car used to dominate this market, Cadillac is beginning to make inroads with its XTS sedan. To set itself apart...

  • 2014 Mercedes-Benz E400 and E63 AMG first drive, Barcelona

    Construction workers working to the left, Ferrari dealer to the right. Real, actual bustle. Barcelona does not act like the rest of Spain, which is probably why it has two cell phones and is maybe "going out with the girls" on Friday night. Just a few hours earlier, we'd been wedged in the fab city's underbelly, parked below ground level opposite Casa Battlo, the fab apartment building rendered edibly by Antonin Gaudi in melted stucco, so that no stock Pella window would fit. One by one, we woke up a fleet of 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMGs one by one, wagons, sedans, oops that's a SEAT, and blew...

  • 2014 Audi S3 Sportback

    Following the reveal of the 2014 Audi S3 Hatchback last September, the brand with the four rings has now taken the wraps off the car’s five-door ‘Sportback’ variant. Audi’s latest A3 Sportback, on which the new S3 Sportback is based, is not yet confirmed for sale in the U.S., although there are reports it will eventually make it over once the current model has run its course. The alternative would be Audi choosing to only offer its upcoming A3 Sedan in the U.S. We certainly hope the A3 Sportback arrives, as we’d love to see this S3 Sportback in local showrooms as...
