  • Tesla Model S Alpha build

    Tesla's most incredible effort yet, the 17-inch touchscreen-equipped, 300-mile, all-electric, luxurious, and very stylishly penned Model S, has just hit the web with its full specs and pricing. And it's a surprisingly good deal. If, of course, it lives up to its promise. While Tesla pulls typical green wool over the matter, deducting the $7,500 federal tax credit from the car's price off the top, even without that 15-month-later savings, the prices read very competitively in the large luxury sedan segment, especially for an electric car. The base Model S starts at $57,400 ($49,900 after tax...

    VW Puts All Six GTI Generations On The Race Track: Video

  • 2012 Buick Verano

    While 115 cars made the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick list this year, just six of them were new additions (or reappearances) in the luxury categories. Mercedes-Benz's M Class is a new addition for 2012, having skipped 2011. The previous 2009-2010 models had made the list, but the 2011 model didn't, despite earning top marks of "good" in front and side impact crash tests. Next is the BMW X3, which rejoins the list after being left off since 2009, though like the M-Class, intervening year models also scored "good" in all tests. The Acura MDX also sees the same...

    The 24 Best Car Pictures Of 2011

    We've always disliked the word "snapshot." A picture isn't an instant in time. It's the tail end of a lot of talent and preparation, a good measure of luck, and a little bit of magic. It can raise pulses and change minds. It even can turn some awkward-looking rides from the real world into mythic...

    Jaguar XJ Gets More Executive Thanks To Startech

    It's always nice to see a logical tune. Let the stripped-down, two-seat super-coupes get 1,000-horsepower engines and gaudy carbon fiber body kits, luxury cars are about elegance, comfort, and of course, making the money needed to buy them. Instead of focusing all its attention on the engine bay or...
