    The Stig Burns Rubber In The 2012 BMW M5: Video

    Top Gear's Stig may or may not be the most incredible, alien-talented driver on the planet, depending on the fanboy status of who you're talking to, but the 2012 BMW M5 is a known quantity.

  • Mercedes-Benz Seals Deal To Name Louisiana Superdome

    The New Orleans Saints will be playing in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the next 10 years, the carmaker announced today. The brand is already the "official and exclusive" vehicle for the Saints. In addition to the NFL tie-in, the stadium naming deal means the Mercedes-Benz name will be headlining the likes of the 2012 Men's Final Four and BCS Championship game and the 2013 Super Bowl. Mercedes-Benz says it's a natural alliance between a world-class brand and a world-class facility, but to our eye it looks a lot like a competitive step in the ongoing war between Mercedes-Benz and BMW for the...

  • 2011 Audi A8 L W-12 quattro

    For many, especially in the U.S., rear-wheel drive and luxury cars go hand in hand. However, elsewhere in the world, luxury buyers are happy to drive full-size cars with front-wheel drive configurations and even four-cylinder engines. For years Audi has been selling its A8 flagship sedan with a front-wheel drive setup in certain markets, and now a new version of the latest generation ‘D4’ with a front-wheel drive configuration and 3.0-liter TDI turbodiesel engine has just gone on sale in Europe. Priced around $6,500 less than its quattro all-wheel drive sibling, the front-wheel...

    Photos by Alex Bellus Say you have a family of four plus a dog, a job downtown as a mid-level executive, and you are a proud American. What do you drive? While you'd love to have a muscle car, your wife says a two-door just isn't practical right now. Well, let me introduce you to the new 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8, the muscle car for grown-ups.

    2012 Bentley Continental GTC: First Drive

    Croatia doesn't sound like anything familiar to Americans, but Europeans have been calling it the "new Tuscany" since they turned their timeshare-building, economy-hyperinflating attentions away from the last "new Tuscany" in southern Spain. We're still puzzled about what was wrong with the old...
