| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 05:53 PM PST  Once the entry-level Mercedes model in the U.S., the C-Class has now grown up and out of that role and is now a very adult car that looks and acts like a smaller version of the brand's S-Class flagship. Offered as a luxury two-door coupe and a four-door sedan, the C-Class takes on competitors such as the Cadillac ATS and CTS, the Audi A4 and A5... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 05:47 PM PST  The Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is the first front-wheel-drive car offered by the brand in the U.S. and somewhat of a spiritual successor to the 190E. The CLA returns for the 2015 model year basically unchanged, again available in standard and AMG versions. Mercedes has also added the related GLA-Class SUV, which uses the same underpinnings. The... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 05:41 PM PST  Alfa Romeo dropped off the radar of American drivers back in the early 1990s when it withdrew from sales, taking the ancient Spider convertible and slow-selling 164 sedan with it. This new 4C aims to erase the bad memories and create a set of exciting new ones, while also bringing the brand to a whole new generation that has no experience with it... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 05:41 PM PST  The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is a full-size sport-utility vehicle with three rows of seating for up to seven passengers. The GL-Class is priced from the high $50,000 range above and beyond $100,000. It s assembled in the U.S., at a Mercedes factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Given its price, size, and appointments, the GL-Class--and the hot-rod GL63... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 05:29 PM PST  The Infiniti QX60 is a large luxury crossover SUV that was initially launched as the Infiniti JX. The QX60 has three rows of seating, a choice of V-6 and hybrid drivetrains, and available all-wheel drive. It's a rival for vehicles like the Volvo XC90, the Acura MDX, and the two-row Lexus RX.

| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 05:26 PM PST  The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact crossover that slots into VW's U.S. lineup beneath the larger Touareg SUV. The Tiguan blends Golf-based mechanicals with a tall-wagon body and available all-wheel drive, for an all-purpose package that delivers moderate off-road capability with all-weather traction. The Tiguan is a rival for vehicles like the... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 05:16 PM PST  The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the best-selling and most recognizable nameplates in the world. With a history going on 75 years now, the Beetle has emerged in two distinct eras--the Bugs of the pre-1998 era, and the completely new Beetles that were inspired by the original, but based on Golf running gear. Today's Golf was introduced in 2012 as... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 04:03 PM PST  The Volkswagen Touareg is a mid-size SUV that currently heads Volkswagen's crossover lineup. The Touareg is surprisingly capable, even after having some of its off-road gear and capability removed in the second generation. It has a softer, car-like appearance that lends itself to being easily misunderstood. The Touareg competes with the Honda... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 03:59 PM PST  The Volkswagen CC is a spin-off of the last generation of VW Passat sedans. A four-door with frameless windows, it's dubbed by VW as a "coupe-like sedan"--a car with a sleeker roofline and more visual zest than a standard four-door. In that way, it's a follower in the trail blazed by the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. The CC is a rival for vehicles like... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 03:55 PM PST  The VW Jetta is a compact four-door sedan that has historically been a companion to the hatchback Volkswagen Golf family. The current Jetta is a vehicle developed with American shoppers in mind--since we're the biggest market for the sedan. AS a result, today's Jetta no longer shares a platform with the Golf. In the past, the Jetta lineup has... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 03:50 PM PST  The Rolls-Royce Phantom is the top model from the storied British automaker, offered in a choice of sedan, coupe, and convertible bodies. Its only true competitor is the more understated Mulsanne from long-time rival Bentley. The Phantom is one of the largest cars on the road and arguably has the presence to match. For more information, including... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 03:41 PM PST  The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the least expensive way to get behind the Spirit of Ecstasy, but that doesn't mean it offers a discount experience. The luxurious Ghost competes with the Bentley Flying Spur, Audi A8, BMW 7-Series, Aston Martin Rapide, and the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. Prices start north of a quarter-million dollars and only go up from... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 03:36 PM PST  The Porsche 911 is a 2+2 rear-engined sports car available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive form, as well as in coupe, cabriolet, and targa body types. Though it has evolved significantly over the past half-century, the Porsche 911 remains an icon of both style and performance. The 911 competes, roughly, with the Audi R8, Jaguar F-Type, Chevrolet... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 03:35 PM PST  The Porsche 918 Spyder is a hybrid-electric, mid-engined, all-wheel-drive supercar. In many ways, it is the spiritual successor to the Porsche Carrere GT, the brand's last mid-engine supercar. The 918 is Porsche’s first hybrid sports car, and it’s also one of the fastest, most high-performance production cars in the world. Launched as... |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2015 03:26 PM PST  The BMW i8 is the German manufacturer's attempt at a supercar for the energy-conscious age. Instead of augmenting a large, heavy powertrain with electric motors for jaw-dropping performance, the i8 takes a more integrated and subtle approach, using the latest weight-saving technologies and a fairly pedestrian engine. It's fuel-efficient when you... |
