  • 2015 Lincoln MKC

    With the 2015 MKC, Lincoln finally has a model that's going to play well in California. Let’s face it: Those in Dearborn focus so much on doing the right thing for Lincoln, the Brand. But outside of the Midwest, for the most part, Town Cars are Town Cars; Navigators are Navigators; and Lincoln's current larger sedans and crossovers, like the MKS, MKX, and MKT, are mysteriously absent. In California, almost as in China, where Lincoln is just starting to break through, the brand is a clean slate—a clean slate with a little bit of intrigue, perhaps, a la American boom-time...

    Infiniti Boss Hints At Using GT-R Engine In More Models

    The twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 in Nissan’s GT-R produces a stout 600 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque in its most potent form, so it’s understandable Nissan would be keen to drop the engine into some of its other models. While most other Nissans couldn’t command the...

    Mercedes-Benz Chooses Hamburg For First 'Mercedes me' Store

    Meet the first Porsche 911 Turbo

  • 2015 BMW 2-Series

    BMW’s 2-Series coupe was all-new for 2014 but there’s already some updates headed our way for the 2015 model year. After confirming it for the European market, BMW has now announced that U.S. customers will be able to opt for xDrive all-wheel drive on the 2015 2-Series. The xDrive option will be available on both the entry-level 228i as well as the sporty M235i and cost $1,800. Adding xDrive won’t affect the cars’ power ratings, which means the 228i xDrive will still come with a 240-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four and the M235i xDrive with a 322-horsepower 3.0-liter...

  • Gene Haas announces acquisition of FIA Formula 1 racing license

    Gene Haas recently made quite a stir when he announced that his racing team would be venturing into the world of Formula 1. American drivers haven't fared so well in F1 as of late, and an American driver hasn't even competed in the series since 2007. We used to have top talent many decades ago, but it's clear that the sport has become a world filled with folks not born stateside. Haas aims to change that. Initially, it seemed that the debut for his F1 team would come during the 2015 racing season. The initial tricky bit of securing the required FIA approval has been taken care of, which is a...

    BMW 8-Series Celebrates 25 Years

    Opinions vary on modern BMW styling but few would argue that some of the automaker's 1980s and 1990s offerings are among the best ever produced. One of those, the BMW 8-Series, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year--amid rumors BMW is considering a new 8-Series model to take on Mercedes'...
