Aug 5th, 2015 |
|
At a swanky Manhattan event space, Lincoln Motor Company held a press event to discuss one of the innovations it’s most proud of in the strikingly handsome and headed-for-production Lincoln Continental concept. But we weren’t there to talk about engines or gawk at the suspension or raise an eyebrow at chassis-rigidity specs. No, we were there to hear […]

When the 2016 Volkswagen Passat goes on sale this fall, Volkswagen promises new exterior […]

| Fancy Fastback: 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe Pricing Revealed |
Aug 5th, 2015 |
|
Mercedes-Benz has disclosed pricing for the new GLE Coupe, and while no bargain, it’s actually less of a shocker than you might have anticipated. Benz’s SUV-coupe-crossover conglomerate comes in two AMG-bred variations only: the GLE450 AMG Coupe, and the much wilder AMG GLE63 S. They are priced at $66,025 and $110,225, respectively.

| 2016 Volkswagen Touareg: New Lower Price, No More Hybrid |
Aug 5th, 2015 |
|
Only just refreshed last year, Volkswagen’s Touareg crossover is being given a few minor equipment tweaks for 2016. More important, those changes accompany a hefty, roughly $2000 price reduction across the Touareg’s lineup. With a new base price of $42,705—$2090 less than before—the Touareg still isn’t the bargain hunter’s choice among mid-size two-row SUVs with a luxurious […]

| 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Test: Practice Makes (Almost) Perfect |
Aug 5th, 2015 |
|
It’s not always easy being green. With the price of regular unleaded at four-year lows and big pickups and luxed-up SUVs and crossovers rolling off dealer lots at a fast clip, fewer buyers may be willing to put up with the unpredictable brakes, rubbery steering, and disconnected drivetrain feel associated with many mainstream hybrid sedans.

| 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan Gets $1400 Price Drop, Up-to-Date Equipment |
Aug 5th, 2015 |
|
The 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan started at $27,420. Study the compact-crossover segment for even a moment, and it’s clear that the VW’s price is way, way out of step with what Honda charges for a bare CR-V, or Ford asks for a basic Escape. Even taking into account the Tiguan’s premium bend, it’s just a bit […]
