Luxury : Car Reviews And News

Sliding out of the Audi A4 S Line from the week prior and into the A5 Sportback brought with it a sense of acceptance in the knowing that change can be a good thing. Here’s a car that costs just a fuzz more than the vehicle I had just driven, yet opts for a sloping rear roofline that discreetly hides a hatch instead of closed trunk.

In the past few years, Lexus has been going through quite a renaissance. They’ve shaken their stodgy, conservative reputation for one that is bolder and more aggressive. Just as Lexus received criticism in the past for being too bland or too vanilla, now they receive some criticism for being too stylized and too edgy.

When I first drove the current generation of the Audi A4 2.0T Quattro a couple years back, I was left impressed by its precise driving characteristics and polished interior and tech. Almost perfectly packaged and visually alluring in a variety of subtle ways, this unassuming junior executive commuter car is a prime example of what understated entry-level German luxury looks like.

One glance at the new 488 Pista Spider and you can tell that the designers over at Ferrari pulled out all the stops. Based on the already impressive 488 Pista, this is one seriously good-looking drop-top.

Over the last two decades, GMC has managed to go from being almost solely associated with industrial utility to being a true premium truck and SUV brand. The combination of styling, functionality, technology, and quality all aim above the levels of their Chevrolet brethren, and typically have the price tag to match.

After teasing us with the Z4 Concept Roadster last year, BMW has finally pulled back the covers on the production version of its much-anticipated new 2-seat convertible. First up from the Z4 line is the 2019 M40i First Edition, a sporty version that packs a 3.0-liter inline-6 engine.

I spent some time driving the Lexus GS F a couple of years back when it was first came out, and thought it offered a really great balance between performance and luxury. Back then, I only got a day behind the wheel.

Seriously, the color on this McLaren Senna is called “Fux Green.” It’s named after the rich dude called Michael Fux who ordered this Senna via McLaren Special Operations. The Fuxing green isn’t actually paint, it’s a carbon fiber body tinted emerald green.

Once you’ve reached the pinnacle of your profession and made your first billion, why not let everyone know about it? One of the best and most comfortable ways to do that is in the ultra luxurious, ultra quiet, ultra comfortable, and ultra expensive Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Back in May, we got to hear the turbocharged 4.4L V8 under the hood of the new 8-series coupe growl. If you wanted to know more about the car, BMW has finally gone official with the pricing.

Aston fans thinking about a Vantage S might want to hold onto their wallets and wait for the new DBS Superleggera, a sexy new beast from the UK luxury performance automaker. Based on the already quite capable DB11, the Superleggera looks simply spectacular, with its gaping mouth open to drink massive amounts of air into its engine bay, and its wide haunches ready to pounce. 

Earlier this year, I reviewed the 2018 Audi Q5. I wasn’t used to Audi SUVs as I generally get behind the wheel of their sedans (and thoroughly enjoy myself). But I did enjoy my time in the redesigned Q5 as well.

We’ve already talked about the overall record that VW set with their I.D. R Pikes Peak racer. The other heavily publicized ride racing at Pikes Peak was from VW’s sister company, Bentley, and their Bentayga SUV.

Tesla, there’s a killer cat about to pounce and a stomp on your tail, and it’s called the Jaguar I-PACE. The Coventry car builder’s first ever pure-electric ride is a fantastic entry into the fledgling luxury EV space, offering plentiful power, sports car handling, cabin comfort, and tech that’s at the top of its game.

Stomp around in someone else’s backyard just to see what happens. Throw the traditionalists for a loop with turbocharged antics and all-wheel drive agility, then back it all up with a jaw-dropping list of standard features for a fraction of the competition’s asking price.
