My my Lexus, what has happened to you? The Lexus LF-CC Concept has launched and most are pegging it as a preview to the next IS. Falling behind in the luxury race has really given the Japanese brand the kick start it desperately needed.
On top since 2000, Lexus recently lost its title of best-selling luxury brand in the United States. That’s because the brand was just coasting, riding on the premium image it had built up for itself. Lexus’ have been known for being quiet, safe and reliab…

Rear-wheel drive is considered by most enthusiasts (including this one!) to be a prerequisite for true luxury competition. Infiniti found success switching to it with the G and M, and Cadillac only experienced a bump in sales with the RWD CTS. If there is one brand that is forgiven for lack of an RWD lineup though, it would be Audi. That’s because the brand’s heritage has primarily been centered around its quattro all-wheel drive system.
Deeper than that, platforms have engines longitudi…

Orion Parachute Test A dart-shaped test vehicle that is used to simulate Orion’s parachute compartment descends above the skies of the U.S. Yuma Army Proving Ground in Arizona. NASA Even the space shuttle, which glided through the atmosphere and landed like an airplane, had parachutes to help slow it down – they’re the most effective drag-inducers out there. But you’d better be sure they work. NASA is testing the giant heavyweight parachutes being developed for the next space capsule that will ferry huma…

Technically, the current generation of the Chevrolet Cruze went on sale in the United States and Canada in the fall of 2010 as a 2011 model, but the compact sedan model was first introduced as the Daewoo Lacetti in South Korea in 2008 before GM discarded the Daewoo nameplate and replaced it worldwide with the bow-tie brand. Therefore, for General Motors, the Cruze has essentially entered its fourth year in production, which means the company has already started work on its replacement. Read more »Copy…

BMW’s “is” nomenclature was reserved for the brand’s higher performance vehicles slotted between the regular lineup and the prided “M” high-power vehicles. BMW plans on losing the “is” in place of an M Performance Line.
It seems that the “M” naming is getting to be a bit confusing and may eventually tarnish what is perceived to be a true M vehicle versus one with a few M-Motorsport factory options. After-all, BMW is no longer shy about slapping a M badge on just about anything these…

Lincoln may have abandoned its ambitions to be a full-line ultra-premium brand, focusing more on mid-market volume, but Cadillac is not capitulating to competitors in its effort to have a full lineup of high-performance and high-efficiency models. Motor Trend’s Editor-in-Chief Ed Loh attended a press conference giving an update of what was in the brand’s [...]
