Mar 18th, 2013 |
|
We wanted a 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 the moment we saw it emerge from its display stand at the Geneva Motor Show last month. We want it even more now. Porsche has taunted our desires with two video trailers for its new track-focused GT3. Packing 475 horsepower from its 3.8-liter flat-6, the 911 GT3 sings [...]

| Spied! 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Caught Fully Uncamouflaged 2 Months Ahead of Debut |
Mar 18th, 2013 |
|
The benchmark from which all other full-size luxury sedans are judged, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was expected to debut at a special reception on May 15. But, it appears, that party got spoiled a little early. Spotted on the streets of Germany for what looks to be a photo shoot, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has exposed [...]

| 2014 S-class Interior Revealed, Takes a Page from the Maybach Book of Opulence |
Mar 18th, 2013 |
|
Daimler may have finally given up on the second coming of Maybach, but that doesn’t mean it’s walked away from the chauffeur-driven über-luxury-sedan class. Its leading brand, Mercedes, has revealed interior-design details of the 2014 S-class—which we’ve spied completely undisguised—and its upcoming flagship will offer opulence not seen from any Daimler product since Maybach’s demise. [...]

Mar 18th, 2013 |
|
Honda today announced that a refreshed version of its Odyssey suburban troop carrier and mobile home for wayward Cheerios (something parents—and Honda, judging by the image above—are intimately familiar with) will make its debut as a 2014 model at this year’s New York auto show. Aside from vaguely mentioning the arrival of some “innovative new [...]

| BMW M CEO Dr. Friedrich Nitschke: There Will Be a 1-series M Coupe Successor |
Mar 18th, 2013 |
|
Remember the 2011 BMW 1-series M coupe? Of course you do—or should—it’s the 335-hp 1-series with a funny name that is smaller, lighter, and nearly as quick as the current M3. Indeed, the 1-series M coupe was the most fun M car in recent memory, but BMW restricted sales to the 2011 model year. We [...]

Acura is ready to reveal the redesigned 2014 MDX crossover, and it has chosen the 2013 New York auto show as the venue to do so. We’ve essentially already seen the latest MDX at the 2013 Detroit auto show earlier this year, but it was officially labeled a “concept.” The production version should look identical, [...]

| 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Long-Term Test: Halfway Through the 40,000-Mile Gauntlet |
Mar 18th, 2013 |
|
Haters of the “people’s car” are always quick to point out Volkswagen’s less-than-sterling reputation for reliability. What the Corolla-loving cranks always overlook is that a VW, even the lowest and cheapest version queued up at a Düsseldorf taxi stand, is engineered for the autobahn. Which is to say, it can sustain 100-plus-mph travel. Perhaps over-engineered [...]

| Cadillac Announces 420-hp Twin-Turbo V-6 for 2014 CTS, XTS [2013 New York Auto Show] |
Mar 18th, 2013 |
|
Cadillac has formally announced and detailed the twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V-6 engine we’ve known about for some time, as well as a new eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine seems to have been worth the wait, as the direct-injected V-6 makes a meaty 420 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. As we predicted, the new engine will [...]
