The 2021 BMW 4 Series is arguably one of the most polarizing cars to have come out in the last few years. And by polarizing, we mean that pretty much everyone on the internet hates it. Honestly, we can’t blame the masses for turning their backs on the 4’s nose given BMW’s famous—and typically handsome—kidney

Maserati is doubling down on the performance of its sedans. “Trofeo” has been a byword for the fastest and most powerful version of Maserati’s Levante SUV for a while now, but the Italian brand is finally bestowing the Trofeo badge on both the 2021 Ghibli and the 2021 Quattroporte sedans. While the Levante Trofeo remains unchanged,

It sure seems like the oft-rumored 2021 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray R Special Edition graphics package is going to make its debut very soon. These shots show a couple of Corvette C8.R racers and a white street-spec C8 with a distinctive, motorsport-inspired graphics package, sitting under a bridge at the iconic Wisconsin road course near

After undergoing a thorough refresh for the 2020 model year, the Lexus RX L crossover SUV enters the 2021 model year with minimal changes. Still, it’s not completely devoid of differences. The most noteworthy update Lexus makes to the RX L—the “L” refers to its extra length compared to the non-L RX models—is to its

Everything about the Polaris Slingshot invites a reaction. What it is, what it looks like, who buys one, and how they accessorize it all produce hot takes made for a Twitter world. It’s fitting, then, that I finally found the words to describe my feelings about the Slingshot on Twitter. Author, journalist, and photographer Linda

Mil-Spec Automotive, a company specializing in high-end bespoke custom builds located in Birmingham, Michigan, is at it again with another luxuriously menacing AM General Hummer H1. Consistent with all of the company’s builds, the finished product—it has a customer—is packed with finely crafted details that slightly bewilder by their appearance in an H1: plush leather,

The craziest moment during BMW’s virtual-reality Connected Car press event was briefly sensing that zoned-out, mental blue-screen feeling that’s the hallmark of jet lag. We’re familiar, thanks to those many annual European press trips we (usually) attend to log miles in the newest cars on the Continent’s best roads. Too many old triggers were piling

Despite being on the market for more than four years, the Cadillac XT5 continues to be a popular model for the brand. The XT5 was actually the best-selling Cadillac last year, and the luxury brand gave it a midcycle upgrade to keep it at the top of its list. The 2020 Cadillac XT5 adds a

Update: More apparent trouble with Harbor Freight jack stands, according to the owner of a replacement set for his recalled units, as reported by The Drive. According to the owner, one jack stand failed dramatically at the welded seam under the weight of a Volkswagen Golf (as seen in the Facebook photos below). Harbor Freight told The

Update: Nissan has released a teaser image of the 2021 Rogue ahead of its debut on June 15. The Nissan Rogue has been the automaker’s bread-and-butter model in the United States for years, having surpassed the Altima sedan as the brand’s bestseller in 2016. As such, the Rogue is a hugely important model for Nissan,

Acura will discontinue the slow-selling RLX after the 2020 model year, which means it might be the perfect time to snag one if you’re in the market. Right now, you can find discounts of up to $12,000 on the large sedan. The biggest deal isn’t being advertised on TV or online, though. According to CarsDirect,

The Chrysler brand has used many of its nine lives to date, but the longtime American brand, which has had many adopted and foreign parents, is still alive. For now. The Chrysler brand is currently part of FCA US, which is owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. FCA is a dual-headquartered company with the Fiat side

Porsche is pulling the wraps off a duo of new SUVs: the Cayenne GTS and the Cayenne GTS Coupe. What’s GTS mean? In Porsche-speak, the GTS is the Goldilocks offering. Not too bare bones, but not too pricey; that last bit’s relative. Typically speaking, the GTS model comes complete with all the expensive, optional go-faster

Automotive News reports that a group of owners of 2011 and newer Ford Mustangs is suing the company over alleged defects in the sports car’s Getrag MT82 six-speed manual transmission. The suit alleges that Ford knows of the issue but has not taken adequate steps to prevent it, despite a series of technical service bulletins

An anonymous source provided the publication with these revealing photos, which show a manual transmission with six speeds and a “C” gear. Presumably, that “C” stands for “crawl.” There are also new photos that give us a closer look at the Bronco’s engine, suspension, and dash setup. The seven-speed manual seems perfect for the soon-to-be-revealed

When it comes to styling, the MotorTrend staff generally leans toward the “less is more” side of things. Case in point: The new BMW 4 series. Less grill would do a lot more for the Bimmer coupe’s design. However, if your tastes veer more toward “more is more,” then Liberty Walk has a Toyota Supra body kit

If you’ve never had a chance to rip, crawl, or haul around in a 4×4 truck or SUV on an off-road route, then you really need to get it on your automotive enthusiast bucket list. There’s a magic about it, the adventure of it, that you really need to experience. Ah, but what 4×4 to

The future for General Motors includes hands-free driving everywhere, a top executive said in regards to company plans to expand the capabilities of its Super Cruise system. The hands-free driving feature currently works on pre-mapped highways. Taking hands-free driving to the streets is the next logical evolution of the technology and GM has a big

Like any manufacturer who builds $200,000 vehicles—not to mention $2 million convertibles—Bentley pays attention to the small details. Something as simple as a badge is even made with the utmost care. No surprise, then, that the British marque is using fancy 3D electroforming to affix its badge onto the carbon-fiber side sills of certain models.

When the apocalypse comes, you’ll need a vehicle that can outrun zombies, tackle difficult terrain, and keep going for the long haul. Fortunately, many of today’s trucks and SUVs were born ready for the job. These tough off-roaders have what it takes to help you survive a doomsday scenario, be it nuclear fallout, zombie mobs,

We’ve already seen the next Acura TLX before we were supposed to. Not in the metal, mind you, but in graphical form courtesy of a leak from Acura’s own infotainment display. Now, we get another look at the new TLX, this time courtesy of the images that were included in a recent patent application. The patent

See all 28 photos If the CAD (computer-aided design) drawing provided to TFLT proves legit, it holds other clues beyond the trucklet’s name. In the image, we can see a rather narrow, tall tailgate clearly adorned with an oval indentation in the middle—where a Ford blue oval badge would likely sit—and that “Maverick” lettering in

Ken Block’s latest Hoonigan vehicle is a Fox-body Ford Mustang, but it isn’t real yet. So far, the Hoonifox Mustang has only been designed for the virtual world by none other than Ash Thorp, the artist behind the new Batmobile, and he also dreamed up several awesome liveries for the box-flared, all-wheel-drive ‘Stang. Which one

The first time I ever drove a Subaru WRX was back in October of 2001, on the day I bought a black bugeye wagon. I started out trying to buy an Audi S4 Avant, but no one at the Audi dealer would even look at me. A month or so earlier, Automobile named the scrappy

We all know Ken Block by now. The former rally driver turned Hoonigan is responsible for some of the coolest videos to ever hit the automotive internet. His Gymkhana series shows off some incredible driving and genuine finesse from behind the wheel—but they also put some truly fantastic looking cars on display. Block has (literally)

Ford has reconfirmed there will be a new F-150 full-size pickup truck this year, one of many key vehicle launches in question during this time of pandemic when plants have stopped making cars and trucks, dealers have closed their showrooms, and consumers were told to stay home around the world. During a call with investors

Imagine the perfect compromise between the stupendous, legendary Lamborghini Miura and the wild and polarizing Espada 2+2. This car features the Italian company’s robust and throaty 3.9-liter V-12, mounted up front—the final car Lamborghini with such a layout, if you ignore the LM002 SUV. Oh, and be sure to line up the peerless Marcello Gandini

You’re looking at something unreal. We mean that in the literal sense—these are renders created by student designer Esa Mustonen for the RAW Design House, a design consultancy that’s part of Koenigsegg. But it’s also unreal in the figurative sense. It is phenomenal, a truly interesting interpretation of some major Koenigsegg design cues, but remixed

The BMW 2-Series was launched in the U.S. in 2o14 as the successor to the 1-Series, and it’s already seen a number of transformations and new permutations. Here, it’s been a rear-wheel-drive-based coupe and convertible. Recently, its family was expanded to include a front-drive-based, four-door sedan—a “Gran Coupe” as BMW prefers to call it. Now,

Fuel economy is something we all think about before making a new-car purchase. Whether you do it to save on gas or simply because you care about the environment, hybrid sedans that deliver good gas mileage have become quite popular. And having a hybrid powertrain doesn’t necessarily mean you’re driving something boring. These days, electrified
