  • 2013 Cadillac XTS

    Cadillac has finally released details surrounding the 2013 XTS as it will be revealed, in the metal, later today at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. The styling of the XTS is a clear evolution of Cadillac's ‘Arts & Science’ design formula. While the styling is close to that of the XTS Platinum Concept shown at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, the main difference comes in the way of slightly toned down lights. The sheet metal, however, is nearly the same as the concept’s. From the satin-chrome grille and 20-inch aluminum wheels with chrome inserts, to the leather wrapped...

    Audi A6? In China, It's Privilege, Status And A Hint Of Corruption

  • Jaguar XF 2.2 Diesel, New York to L.A. tour

    Two brothers from the UK have driven a luxurious Jaguar XF sedan across the U.S., crossing 11 states, three time-zones, and some 2,884 miles in the process. While this in itself is nothing spectacular, the fact that they did it while averaging a fuel economy of 52.4 mpg is nothing short of amazing. The key was the car’s engine. Rather than relying on hybrid technology, the Jaguar XF driven by David and Alexander Madgwick on their quest was an XF 2.2 Diesel. This model isn’t currently sold in the U.S. so the brothers, with the help of Jaguar, had one shipped over from the UK. Yes...
