The Pinehurst Resort is well-known for both its golf course and its other amenities, but this year, it will also be known for its Concours d'Elegance. Joining the concours circuit with its inaugural event, the Pinehurst Resort promises to "blend the history, heritage and grandeur from three of...

The most hardcore, track-focused version of the Camaro was just unveiled last week in New York, and we took some time to check it out and bring you our first-hand impressions. So is this the Camaro you'll really want? Maybe. It's going to be surprisingly hardcore. Many people will find it...

It's still quite continental, but the 2014 Bentley Flying Spur is missing that tag from its name. To find out why, we stopped by the Bentley stand at the 2013 New York Auto Show, and talked to Paul Jones, who knows precisely why--since he's the one in charge of the new ultra-luxury sedan. The...

It's safe to assume no car this year has occupied so many pixels of conversation among our staff Skypers--and will...

By now, you've seen our 2013 New York auto show coverage--and maybe you're ready to crown the 2014 Cadillac CTS as the king of all things formerly Art & Science. We understand the rush to judgement, given the goodness on display in this year's 2013 Cadillac ATS. But before you make any brash...

Amazing. It happened again. Yes, a wrecked, all-but-brand-new 2013 Bentley Continental GT just showed up at the side of the street in Manhattan last night.

The idea of packing a very powerful engine into a very small car—especially a car originally designed with frugality in mind—isn’t by any means a new formula. It’s been done over and over again, over decades, to spice up lineups and add bragging rights. And while some...

Buy a BMW, and you can sign up to attend the BMW Performance Driving School. Buy a Mercedes-Benz AMG, and you can register for the AMG Driving Academy.
