Audi A6

Posted: 16 Aug 2012 03:13 PM PDT

The Audi A6 is a mid-size luxury sedan offered in the U.S. since the mid-1990s. Before it adopted its current name, the car wore the tarnished Audi 5000 badge (tarnished by unsubstantiated claims of unintended acceleration) and also was known as the Audi 100 / Audi 200 for a short time. Though it's typically front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive...


2013 Audi A6

Posted: 16 Aug 2012 02:43 PM PDT

Audi continues to chase BMW and Mercedes-Benz in a seemingly relentless race to technological leadership, and in that it's doing very well. Simultaneously, as other automakers are breaking out to vary appearances a bit depending on the size of the vehicle, Audi is whipping its sedan lineup into fighting shape with a uniform look and...


2013 Jaguar XF Preview

Posted: 16 Aug 2012 09:01 AM PDT

Jaguar’s XF sedans started a clean break, design-wise, from the brand’s more ornate, traditional ‘saloon’ past, and while they've been wildly successful over the past several years, it would be fair to say that its all-V-8 lineup has been a limiting factor—especially in a class where a wide range of powertrain options...


2013 Jaguar XJ Preview

Posted: 16 Aug 2012 09:01 AM PDT

Some luxury shoppers haven’t yet taken note of how radically the Jaguar XJ changed for the 2011 model year, when Jaguar seemingly awoke from a design slumber, peeling away from its stodgy, baroque past. But Jaguar isn’t waiting for them to catch up. For 2013, it’s keeping the XJ’s unmistakable style fully intact but...


2013 Jaguar XK Preview

Posted: 16 Aug 2012 09:01 AM PDT

For 2013, Jaguar has lowered the price on its XK line of grand-touring luxury coupes and convertibles, and added a new Portfolio Pack edition to the lineup. With the introduction of a new Touring Coupe and Touring Convertible trim, entry prices for the 2013 XK now drop by more than $5,000 from 2012, to a new price of $79,875 for the coupe and...


BMW May Have Fudged Sales Stats To Remain #1 Luxury Brand

Posted: 16 Aug 2012 08:00 AM PDT

For years, Lexus sat at the top of America's luxury heap. Then came some product stagnation, a few unpleasant recalls, and a terrible natural disaster, which bumped Lexus from its berth. BMW and Mercedes-Benz have been fighting to take its place ever since. The struggle hasn't always been pretty, but it's been exciting for observers (if you go in...

Today at High Gear Media, Hyundai updated the powertrain options for the 2013 Genesis Sedan and BMW announced what it's bringing to Pebble Beach.

We posted a photo gallery of the...


Ram Stars In Spectacular New Retro Ad Campaign

Posted: 16 Aug 2012 07:20 AM PDT

We don't spend much time covering ad campaigns -- mostly because there are so many to review that if we did, we'd have no room to talk about anything else. But a new campaign for Ram trucks is so eye-catching, we just couldn't help ourselves. The campaign itself is very small -- in fact, it's limited to one publication, much like the Chevrolet...


2013 Lexus LS

Posted: 15 Aug 2012 01:35 PM PDT

The Lexus LS 460 and its hybrid version, the LS 600h L, are flagships--the ne plus ultra sedans in the brand's lineup, with some of the most advanced technology found in the entire lineup, and some of the richest finishes, too. The LS gets a restyled exterior and interior this year, and the addition of a new F Sport model brings a...
