| The Ferrari 488GTB Has Been Weaponized: GT3 and GTE Racers Unveiled |
Nov 10th, 2015 |
|
The most important job of any production-based racing car is to look good and to reflect some glory onto its roadgoing siblings—yes, even higher up the list than the need to be fast and to win races. And although the Ferrari 488GTB doesn’t really need much help in this regard, it’s two racing variants, the GT3 […]

| 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-class Coupe First Drive: A Sports Coupe Only in Name |
Nov 9th, 2015 |
|
Between SUVs that pull 1.00 g of lateral grip on the skidpad and sedans that hit 60 mph as quickly as a Ferrari, the definition of a sports car is under constant threat. Modern tires, turbochargers, and transmissions mean all manner of vehicles can now perform like sports cars, and yet the form factor—lightweight, compact […]

| Confirmed: Production Toyota/Scion C-HR Crossover on the Way |
Nov 9th, 2015 |
|
As soon as Toyota mentioned that the latest iteration of the C-HR concept, which debuted at this year’s Frankfurt auto show, sat on the company’s newest architecture, we assumed any production model would do the same. Now, following the Tokyo auto show, we have confirmation of both: the production version of the C-HR indeed will use […]

| 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 First Drive: Right at Home |
Nov 9th, 2015 |
|
We got our first taste of the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC-class this summer in Europe, where we briefly piloted a few GLC models powered by a torquey diesel and a not-so-torquey, 211-hp four-cylinder gas engine. The former engine is poised to come here later next year, while the latter will not come here at all. Missing […]

| 2016 Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon Diesel Fuel Economy Released, EPA Conformity Confirmed |
Nov 9th, 2015 |
|
Conformity can be dull, an act that dissolves your individuality into the flow of the masses like a fluid into a current. Or conformity can be a good thing! Take, for example, when you’re moving to release a new diesel-powered vehicle in the wake of Volkswagen’s brazen diesel-emissions cheating scandal. General Motors gets it, and has […]

| On a Subaru With No Name: New Three-Row SUV Confirmed for 2018 |
Nov 9th, 2015 |
|
The next mid-size Subaru SUV will bow in 2018, and it will be built at the company’s Lafayette, Indiana, plant, the company confirmed today. Subaru has hinted at a Tribeca successor since the final 2014 model year, and while it no doubt has hurt Subaru to have not fielded a competitive entry in such a hot segment—the […]

| Jaguar Land Rover Pioneers “Just Dance”–Style, Gesture Vehicle Unlocking |
Nov 9th, 2015 |
|
It often feels like the auto industry is running short on genuine problems it needs to engineer solutions for, but here’s one that we actually like: a recently filed patent application from Jaguar Land Rover for an automatic tailgate release that ‘reads’ a sequence of movements to potentially unlock the vehicle or open the trunk/liftgate.
