  • New Ford GT

    The order books are open for Ford Motor Company's [NYSE:F] reborn supercar, the GT, but getting on the list isn't quite as simple as walking down to your local showroom and picking out the options you want. With a list price beginning in the mid-$400,000s, the GT isn't for everyone. And Ford knows that. Among the initial questions asked on the application pages, found on the special website www.fordgt.com, are some designed to determine just how closely related the potential buyer is to Ford and its motorsports programs. For instance, the application asks if buyers have previously owned a GT...

  • 2016 Zotye SR8 - Image via Carscoops

    A Chinese firm has so closely copied a Porsche Macan that it takes an especially keen eye to spot how they differ. Zotye Auto has developed a reputation for knocking off European crossovers and SUVs, but the company's new SR8 is undoubtedly its best effort yet. These latest photos, which follow up on some spy shots from last year, reveal the final SR8 (which has changed names from T700 over the last 12 months). And that's not really a compliment, especially if you're Porsche. The Chinese knockoff market is largely unregulated, meaning the SR8 will be available for consumers aiming for the...

  • 2016 Lexus RX video review

    The Lexus RX might not be the most exciting option when it comes to mid-size crossover SUVs with a bit of luxury, but previous generations have proven to be solid, dependable performers. With the latest generation, which is all-new for the 2016 model year, Lexus set out to spice things up a little. The basic formula is the same but now the RX comes with a bold design that definitely makes it stand out from the crowd. The overall size is also up.
