BMW X6

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 02:07 PM PDT

The BMW X6 is built on the X5 SUV's chassis, but it's a more sculpted, sportier version. While its shapely profile removes some of the car's utility, it makes up for that with its engaging driving dynamics. It's part SUV, part crossover, part coupe, and part luxury sedan, in other words. See our 2013 BMW X6 review for pricing with options...

Hyundai Azera

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 02:04 PM PDT

The Hyundai Azera is a large front-wheel drive sedan that nearly qualifies as a luxury vehicle.

Honda Ridgeline

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 02:02 PM PDT

The Honda Ridgeline is a mid-size truck without the ruggedness of most other trucks on today's market.

See our 2013 Honda Ridgeline review for pricing with options, specifications, and gas mileage ratings. The Ridgeline's unusual set of...

Acura TSX

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 02:01 PM PDT

The Acura TSX is a front-wheel drive four-door sedan or five-door wagon, and it's the most engaging sedan sold by Honda today. It's not long for this world, though, as the ILX now functions as the brand's smallest vehicle. With the TSX, Acura realized the premium segment was getting smaller.

Here at High Gear Media, we're camping people. Clearly. But when GMC invited us to the launch of the 2014 Sierra and promised an actual bed in an actual enclosed structure, we said yes. Actually, first, we cried a little, but don't judge. In this case, the bed was a lavish one, and it came stocked with Nutella, a hot shower, fluffy towels, a...

Lamborghini Aventador

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 12:02 PM PDT

The Lamborghini Aventador is the top-of-the-line Lambo, and it's a monstrously large supercar. It's a two-seater with insane performance and design to match. Everything it does is done in hyper mode from the wild stares it earns from its wild exterior to its sub-three-second 0-60 time. For more details on the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador, read our...

It competes most closely with the Ferrari 458 Italia and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. For a closer look at the final Gallardo, read our review. Still snapping...
