One picture. Just one picture is all that Mercedes-Benz’s media department released in regard to the X-Class Element Edition, a limited-run model exclusive to the United Kingdom. Adding insult to injury, two decals on the sides of the bed and rear doors make it hard to call this mid-size...
New technologies don’t come cheap in the automotive industry, and the same can be said about Mazda. After Infiniti and Nissan introduced the VC-Turbo in the QX50 and Altima, the Hiroshima-based automaker announced the SkyActiv-X for the Mazda3 hatchback and sedan. Have you ever wondered how...
The Bugatti La Voiture Noire isn't worth its weight in gold like a classic Ferrari we know. But it holds the record for the most expensive new car, and it just rolled into Villa d'Este 2019 under its own power. Exciting! The internet puts it as high as $19 million, but even if it...
The reaction to the 2020 Supra hasn't been all that great. But that doesn't mean people won't buy it and have a play, making it their own. The hundreds of GT 86 projects we've shared prove that the loyal Toyota fans are willing to spend a lot of money on their Japanese sports...
Even though it’s called Q4 in the 2019 Audi roadmap, the sharper brother of the Q3 will be called Q3 Sportback. Whatever the four-ringed automaker plans to do, there’s no denying the compact crossover takes inspiration from the Q8, Porsche Cayenne Coupe, and Lamborghini Urus. The Q3...
Volkswagen recently revealed the R version of the T-Roc, powered by the same 2-liter turbo as the Golf R. But it may not have been the right move, and the company is now looking to balance performance and efficiency by having a PHEV model. E-mobility is where the money is at right now in Europe....
Mercedes has a lot of money and is trying everything to see what works and what doesn't. The AMG GT 4-door is one of its wild new creations, not because it's a bespoke 4-door, but because it's offered with the 43 and 53 powertrains. Unlike an E-Class or a C-Class, this body style is...
Edd China is the former presenter of a show called Wheeler Dealers, where he repairs modern classics and proves working on a car is not as difficult as you may think. He's pretty understated and likes to keep to himself, which makes this video where he "roasts" people's cars...
We all love to praise lightweight sports cars with powerful engines and sexy lines. Yet we can't deal with the fact that they aren't perfect. Just days after being released, the new Toyota Supra and BMW Z4 were already being criticized. The biggest problem? The fact that they're...
Design language - this word gets thrown around a lot. If it's anything like the stuff we speak, a German should understand another German and a Corolla is supposed to be a little bit like a Supra. In the case of Volkswagen, most people think it just means boring, overpriced German boxes. We...
Everybody VW tuner does the same thing: lowered suspension and custom wheels, preferably ones that look retro or belong to another car. So you need a gimmick to set yourself apart, and it doesn't get much better than a Volkswagen pretending to be a Porsche and doing a bad job of it. This one...
After Tesla developed the insane Model S and took down all the supercars, it made the Model 3. This isn't the affordable EV that people were expecting, but it's still going to demolish every fancy German car with a six-cylinder engine. After arriving in Europe a little late, the Model 3...
Available with two battery options, the Leaf is the best-selling electric vehicle out there. But as opposed to Tesla, Nissan doesn’t have an exciting EV, something that could keep up with the blistering acceleration of the Ludicrous Plus driving mode of the Model S Performance. Be that as it...
The Audi A5 is a good example of a car that's more than the sum of its parts. It's not particularly fast nor does it have the flashiness of an Italian 2-door. But there's a certain timeless quality. The original model came out back in 2007 and was penned by Walter de Silva, a man...
Back at the beginning of the decade, Renault found out that it can't sell an MPV to save its life, so it switched to crossovers. That's why the little Modus was replaced by the Captur, which quickly became one of its most successful models. But it's clearly showing its age and needs...
