| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 04:26 PM PST  The Jaguar XF is the replacement for the former Jaguar S-Type, a sedan developed along with the Lincoln LS under Jaguar's former owners, Ford Motor Company. The XF is a heavily reworked version of that older car, but with an amazing newfound sense of style--not to mention stunning new levels of performance. With a base price from the high $40,000s...      |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 04:18 PM PST  The Jaguar XK is a two-door coupe or convertible that replaced the old XJS two-doors in the 1997 model year. Now in its second generation, the XK has switched from steel construction to a bonded-aluminum body, has gained a more serious performance edge, and now truly competes with the likes of the BMW 6-Series, Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, Chevrolet...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 04:13 PM PST  The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is a compact crossover offered in either five- or three-door form. It's geared toward style-conscious, urban-dwelling, weekend-warrior types who wouldn't be as interested in the more rugged, authentic look of the Land Rover LR2--the vehicle from which the Evoque is derived. The Evoque doesn't have many natural...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 03:34 PM PST  All-new for 2013, the Porsche Boxster is more capable on track and off, and more refined inside and out--in fact, it may just be the best of the compact luxury roadster crop. The entirely new chassis is stiffer and lighter, and it's wrapped in brand-new bodywork that lifts the Boxster from its cute-but-mild past into a more aggressive...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 03:26 PM PST  The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a full-size luxury sedan that's offered in both short- and long-wheelbase four-door sedan form. Currently, it's sold as the S350 BlueTEC diesel; the S400 Hybrid; as the S550 with either rear- or all-wheel drive; in S63 or S65 AMG performance trim; and as the S600, the ultimate V-12-powered flagship. The S-Class has...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 03:17 PM PST  A flagship sportscar with outrageous performance, the Nissan GT-R has some of the most sophisticated go-fast technology jammed into its two-door coupe body. It may not look as arresting as a Porsche 911 Turbo or a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 or an SRT Viper--but it's just as easy to get pulled over in one. The GT-R draws on a heritage of performance...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 02:57 PM PST  The Porsche 911 is a two-door luxury sports coupe that has set the benchmark for handling and performance for nearly four decades. True competition is hard to find for this rear-engined car, but the Jaguar XK/XKR, Chevrolet Corvette, and Audi R8 all present solid alternatives. Prices run from $77,800 to more than $245,000 depending on the model...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 02:34 PM PST  The Porsche Cayenne is the vehicle that enthusiasts swore would kill the fabled German sportscar brand. Instead, it's been a vital piece of the company's success story of the past decade--and one of the chief reasons it's still here, and still building the 911, the Boxster, and the Cayman. A luxury SUV with a strong focus on performance, the...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 01:49 PM PST  The BMW X3 is a mid-size crossover vehicle that was the automaker's second utility vehicle. Sized between the new compact BMW X1 and the larger X5, the X3 competes with the likes of the Audi Q5, the Land Rover LR2, and the Mercedes-Benz GLK, and is priced in the high $30,00 range. As one of the anchors of the luxury crossover segment, the BMW X3...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 01:43 PM PST  The Acura TL is a four-door, mid-size sedan that competes in the near-luxury market. It's now the mid-range sedan in the Acura lineup, slotted between the ILX compact and the coming Acura RLX. The TL emphasizes technology over more traditional luxury, and its price tag makes it either a bargain compared to more expensive imported cars, or not...   |
| 2011-2012 Mercedes-Benz Vehicles Recalled For Fire Risk Posted: 11 Dec 2012 12:56 PM PST  Mercedes-Benz is conducting a voluntary safety of certain 2011 and 2012 vehicles over concerns that a faulty fuel filter flange may pose a fire risk. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) site puts the number of vehicles potentially affected by the recall at 5,800. Affected vehicles were built from April 18, 2011...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 11:00 AM PST  The Ford C-Max is the company's first-ever "dedicated hybrid," meaning a vehicle without a gasoline-only version. It's aimed right at the hybrid leader, the Toyota Prius range that has dominated hybrid sales for 12 years. The C-Max comes in two versions; one falls between the Prius liftback and the Prius V wagon; the other competes with the Prius...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 10:31 AM PST  Audi might still be better known for its quattro (all-wheel drive) sport sedans, but the Audi R8 is closing in on that reputation, with true supercar looks and performance. Shod with a body that's an artful blend of German technophile cues, and fitted with racing shoes borrowed from fellow Volkswagen Group brand Lamborghini, the R8 has become an...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 10:30 AM PST  A relatively low-volume entry in the compact crossover class, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is really aimed at urban dwellers rather than suburban families. As tall and wide as its Outlander big brother, but considerably shorter, the Outlander Sport both looks different and offers a different driving feel. Underneath, it uses some of the...   |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 10:24 AM PST  Iconically American, the Chevrolet Corvette is a two-seat sports car available as a coupe or a convertible, with even higher-performance models like the Z06, 427, and ZR1 available. Now in its sixth generation (C6), the Corvette's also due for a makeover--a new C7 Corvette is due to make its debut in January 2013 before going on sale late in the...   |
