Up until now, the V on the back of certain Cadillacs was the equivalent of BMW’s M. It meant not just speed, but handling prowess, too. Unfortunately, much like M itself, some of Cadillac’s latest V models don’t necessarily live up to the badge. The CT4-V is a good example. And although the base CT5 …

Despite the love it gets, the Kia Stinger and its corporate cousin, the Genesis G70, looked like they were on the chopping block. Happily, that’s not the case. Although it’s not getting a performance boost for 2021, the Stinger sports sedan is getting updated for 2022. Here’s what we know so far. 2022 Kia Stinger: …

The mid-size sedan segment is basically ruled by the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord and it has been for years. And while the Mazda6 doesn’t share as much of the spotlight as it’s other Japanese rivals, it still brings a lot to the table via a unique sense of style and refined sportiness. We’ve already …

When it comes to reasonably-affordable EVs, the Tesla Model 3 sets the segment standard. But the competition, such as the Chevy Bolt, Mini Cooper SE, and the Mustang Mach-E crossover, is catching up. And now, the Model 3 has another competitor, courtesy of Volvo’s electric (and former performance) division: the Polestar 2. 2021 Polestar 2: …

Buying a luxury car is nice, but it comes with a high price tag and several other expenses that make them less-than-desirable for your daily commute.

With the steep depreciation that hits luxury cars and the lack of practicality of sports cars, sometimes keeping things simple is best. For commuter cars, having something standard can be beneficial in many ways. Standard sedans might not have luxurious Alcantara seats or high-tech features, but they do have a lot to offer wrapped in …

Kia has a new model in its lineup for 2021 called the K5. As part of any vehicle’s debut, one would expect there to be significant marketing to raise public awareness. Kia certainly agrees. Not only has the 2021 Kia K5 been in the press a lot the last few weeks, but it also just …

Sedans and coupes are being increasingly squeezed out of the market by SUVs and crossovers, not to mention trucks.

When it comes to the luxury sport sedan segment, the BMW 3 Series has always been considered the benchmark.

The 2021 IS’ updates, relatively minor as they are, are welcome. Lexus’ compact sports sedan has fallen behind the competition in some ways. And not just to its main rival, the BMW 3-Series.

If you’re going to spend a large sum on a luxury car, you don’t want to get stuck with an unreliable model. Of all the cars on the Consumer Reports luxury car ratings list, these are the least reliable luxury cars of 2020. Let’s take a closer look at each of the unreliable 2020 luxury …

While necessary emissions regulations are starting to thin its lineup, AMG has always offered high-performance Mercedes models. Sedans have been especially well-represented in its history. Today, BMW offers several 600+ hp sedans, and Dodge has one with over 700 hp. And, as Doug Demuro recently explained, it’s thanks to the 2003 Mercedes E55 AMG. How …

In the US, Lexus has always been the place for Toyota’s most high-end cars. That’s been the case ever since the LS400 made massive waves in the luxury segment. But the brand doesn’t just do reliable luxury. The Lexus LFA, although overshadowed by contemporary supercars, had one of the best naturally-aspirated engines put in a …

The Volkswagen Passat tends to be forgotten about compared to some of the other mid-sized sedans on the market, such as the Toyota Camry. The Camry is one of the best-selling cars in the segment, and there’s even a TRD trim and all-wheel drive available now. But the VW Passat got an update for the …

Although Toyota enjoys a reputation as a maker of solid and reliable cars, the company’s image isn’t exactly one of excitement.

Genesis, Hyundai’s luxury brand, is in the middle of a full lineup blitz. The automaker has already released the GV80 crossover, and it has several more crossovers and SUVs on the way.

A subcompact car that offers great value is the Hyundai i20. It’s reliable, affordable, and easy to drive and park. It features up-to-date infotainment and safety tech, and a redesign for 2021 sharpens the styling of this five-door hatchback. But if you haven’t heard of the i20 it might be because it’s available overseas but not …

Small and reasonably priced, the Sentra has been Nissan’s flagship compact car for years. It boasts great fuel economy, an easy ride, and best of all, a super-low starting price. But does bargain prices equal bargain safety? The Nissan brand has a reputation for making safe and dependable cars, but how safe is the Nissan …

Porsche’s lineup includes some well-regarded sports and luxury vehicles. However, even the most affordable ones aren’t exactly cheap. That includes its sole sedan, the Porsche Panamera, which is arguably closer to a station wagon. However, although a new one can easily go for $150k, as Doug Demuro explains, used Porsche Panameras can be had for …
