| 2016 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 Driven! With Great Power Comes . . . Well, You Know |
Feb 29th, 2016 |
|
At Car and Driver, our love of sports sedans is well known, and Infiniti built one of the best such cars in recent memory.

| 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL-class First Drive: Further Refined for Your Pleasure |
Feb 27th, 2016 |
|
When you reach the price of the Mercedes-Benz SL-class roadster, the market does something unusual: It separates. In many segments, car companies are viciously duplicating each other as fast as possible with nearly identical products, but among $100,000–$150,000 sports convertibles, the choices vary widely in personality and purpose. You can get a Porsche 911 Cabrio […]

| 2017 Lexus LC500 Coupe Dissected: Design, Powertrain, Chassis, and More |
Feb 26th, 2016 |
|
The last time Lexus ran a supercar up its flagpole, people’s heads exploded. Well, the 500 LFA drivers’ heads did, but the rest of the 7 billion earthlings were merely confused. It was hard to see how the carbon-fiber tub or 9000-rpm 72-degree V-10 were going to trickle down to ES350s and RX hybrids. So […]

| Alfa Romeo Updates the Giulietta—But Is It Truly “Nuova”? |
Feb 26th, 2016 |
|
Except for the much-delayed Giulia, there has been very little coming from Alfa Romeo in terms of new product—and the eight-car plan put forth by Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne a while ago is wilting. So Alfa has to work with what it’s got. Thus the brand has performed a mid-cycle facelift on the Giulietta, the European-market sister […]

|
Nissan shut down one of its smartphone apps this week after an Australian software developer found that Leaf owners were highly vulnerable to data theft and hackers controlling parts of their cars. The NissanConnect EV app, which allows Leaf (and e-NV200) owners to check their electric car’s battery status, analyze their driving habits, and activate […]

| Autonomy’s Roadkill: The Path to Driverless Cars Will Be Strewn with the Carcasses of Big Industry |
Feb 26th, 2016 |
|
From the March 2016 issue Automakers and tech companies alike seem to be pushing us toward an autonomous future in which streamlined, sustainable-bamboo-trimmed robotic taxis and luxury cruisers zip within inches of one another as they reel around turns and through crowded metropolises like pulses of light beamed through fiber-optic cables. The bots won’t crash […]

| Advertising the 1990s: It Was Longer Ago than You Think |
Feb 26th, 2016 |
|
Ah, the 1990s. Not yet seen in the retro-ironic light that has washed over the ’80s, and yet they’re now officially a generation ago and things really were different then. Advertising is nothing if not a cultural barometer, and this roundup of ads from the ’90s provides a good indication of which way the winds blew. […]
