Luxury Cars Are Climbing the Purchasing Poll

Luxury cars are speeding past the traditional market of once loved pick up trucks. A recent poll shows that more U.S. drivers are spending their dollars on plush luxury cars than before. Lavish cars are making a comeback. Read this article to find out what caused the recent shift in car purchasing...

In the first five months of the year, luxury automakers sold almost 66,000 more vehicles in the U.S. than they did a year earlier, an 11 percent increase. Lincoln and Lexus (TM) in particular were stomping on the sales pedal. Sales of midsize cars such as the Honda (HMC) Accord—the biggest segment of the U.S. market—slipped 3.6 percent, while truck sales—another huge chunk of the market—were up 4.6 percent.

2016 Audi RS Q3

The 2016 Audi RS Q3 has been spotted ahead of time and we found the pictures to prove it. This upgrade didn't give way to many new features besides a few minor changes on the aesthetics. The facelifted version is set to be released in Europe next year. Read more about the Audi RS Q3 upgrades...

As the RS Q3 was all-new just a year ago, we’re not expecting any significant changes in the powertrain department. The current model is powered by the familiar five-cylinder TFSI found in the previous TT RS and RS 3 models, and peak output of the turbocharged and direct-injected 2.5-liter unit in the facelifted RS Q3 should remain at 310 horsepower and 309 pound-feet of torque. The facelifted Q3 range, including the new RS Q3, is expected to go on sale in Europe in 2015.

The Case for Stick Shifts

This article is making the case for manual transmissions and spreading the movement abroad. Stick shifts require more work and for that reason they are often overlooked but this cause is committed to changing that. Read more about the case for sticks and the entire #GiveAShift movement.

You've heard of our colleagues' campaign to save the manuals. Clearly, there's more work to be done--which is why we're joining the fight. We know you love the manuals, but they need your help more than ever now. We want you to do something today. We want you to #GiveAShift. Giving a shift means more than just buying a car with a manual transmission. it means driving the wheels off it. Running it around on weekend. Commuting in it--just to show you can, just to show you care. Teaching an amateur how to drive one. Giving a shift keeps the dream alive. As a bonus, the more you drive stick shifts, the fewer times we will have to play the very sad PSA we found on YouTube. To give you a kickstart, we've put together our list of the best manual-transmission cars you need to drive.

Police Car Built for Speed Patrol

The Avon and Somerset Constabulary police force is making serious strides in decreasing speeding traffic violations. They have purchased the Ariel Atom 3.5R for their departments. These cops are taking matters into their own hands. They hope that with faster units they'll be able to catch more speedsters and bring awareness to the tragic consequences of speeding. 

It is not necessarily news when a police force adds a supercar to the fleet…until it is a Bugatti Veyron or a frickin Ariel Atom 3.5R. The burning question, why, is easy to answer in this instance. The Ariel Atom is built in the Avon and Somerset Constabulary area, making the hypercar a perhaps peace offering? Why else would they supply the local law enforcement with something that would have little trouble overtaking a superbike?

The Porsche 919 Hybrid Races to the Frontlines

 

The Porsche 919 Hybrid is taking the concept of combining racing cars and classic cars to a whole new level. The 919 takes the possibilities of hybrids up a notch with its cool new features and added luxuries.The speed is simply out of this world and closely parallels the 918. Check out the Porsche 919 for yourself and see the difference.

According to John Olman of concorusdates.com, the 919 Hybrid -- along with the Le Mans GT class-winning Porsche 911 RSR -- will join a field of classic cars at the upcoming Ault Park Concours d'Elegance in Cincinnati. You can be the first of your friends to take an up-close look at the car on Sunday, June 8. The Porsche 919 Hybrid isn't just another racing prototype (not that Le Mans prototypes are dime-a-dozen or anything). It's a vehicle that may reignite Porsche's tradition of Le Mans dominance, upsetting Audi's four-year streak in the process.

The Infamous Pond Car Collection

Bob Pond's car collection is a dream turned reality for most car enthusiasts. Over the last sixty years he has built an impressive empire of amazing vintage cars including high model luxury items. This article gives a background peek into his notable collection and the history of Bob Pond's collecting endeavors. Read more about Pond's car collection.

Pond left the Navy in October of 1945, aching to jump into the booming business of commercial aviation. But the family business called him back, and -- owing to that sense of obligation ingrained in all Midwesterners -- he signed back with Advance Machine Co., an organization, started by his grandfather Merritt Pond, that built floor polishers and industrial vacuum cleaners. Pond was the eighth employee. He went from bookkeeper to salesman in just six months, and the traveling required by the job was the perfect excuse to talk his family into buying an airplane -- a Cessna 180, then a 182, then larger and larger planes. A jet came in 1970, fulfilling both Pond's overseas expansion and flying dreams.

New Power Solution for Electric Cars

The Aerovironment TurboCord delivers big power in small packages. This cord is the solution to storage and convenience for electric cars. It may be a little ahead of its time but it will certainly become more common in the future. The TurboCord is waterproof and equipped with mini LED lights to show when charging is in progress. The TurboCord is currently retailed at $599.00 and does not require the purchase of expensive charging docks.

Not that anybody's really buying a lot of electric cars yet, but someday they will, maybe, and when they do, technology is going to be a heck of a lot better than it is today. Take that “Emergency Charge Cable” you get with your battery-powered car. Somewhere along its length is a fuse about the size and weight of a big bottle of scotch gift-packaged in a cardboard box. It's bigger than is practical, especially when you wind up all that electrical cord and lay it in the cargo area, so a company called Aerovironment has a solution. A palm-sized solution. It's called the TurboCord. “I was showing it to a guy and he said, 'Where is it?' He was shocked,” said Aerovironment's fast-talking and extremely enthusiastic Wahid Nawabi, senior vice-president of efficient energy systems. “It's a device the size of an iPhone that fits in the palm of your hand!”

After relocating to China over a decade ago, MG has built a pretty solid baseline with two basic models. The Dynamo is sure to spread quickly among green-friendly consumers.

The Dynamo concept is said to produce 70 hp, and it features a battery that can be recharged to 80 percent in 30 minutes. The range of the concept car is stated to be 50 miles, and it is based on the Chinese-market Roewe E50 electric car. The 50-mile range places it a bit below the Leaf's 75-mile range, but it's still within everyday commuting range for most. With a length of just under 12 feet, the 2,376-pound concept is just a bit shorter than the Leaf and almost 1,000 pounds lighter, making it about the size of the Volkswagen e-up!

Australian Designed Everest SUV

Ford recently shared one of it's newest concept designs. The Australian designed Everest SUV is likely intended for the Chinese market. Ford has no plans of producing it for the American market. The new concept design features many minor changes in very intricate details. Read more about the concept Everest SUV.

Ford unveiled a concept version of a new Everest SUV at the China motor show in Beijing last week, alongside the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Ford Escort meant for the Chinese market. The seven-seater, designed by Ford's Australian studio, is rumored to be based on the Ford Ranger pickup, which is available in Australia, as well as a number of other markets. Ford is staying mum on whether this truck will see production, though the concept shown in Beijing appeared largely production-ready, down to the smallest details like an antenna. The company has no plans to introduce this SUV in the U.S. market, though the Everest would potentially be built in China for the Chinese market by Ford's joint venture partner, JMC.

Leno Opens Up His New McLaren P1

Jay Leno leads the pack as the first delivery of the McLaren P1 in America. Don't worry. He's not locking it up in his collector's garage for preservation. Leno is opening his McLaren P1 up on the roadways. He managed to plug 800 miles on the car in the first five days of receiving it. Read more about Jay Leno's newest auto toy and the adventures of his McLaren.

Uber car guy Jay Leno took delivery of his McLaren P1 supercar. It's the first example to hit American soil in private hands. He brought it to his garage, called company CEO Mike Flewitt, and the two went about discussing McLaren's history, cars and racing victories. Leno is sporting a blue shirt and khakis, a welcome departure from a full denim suit. Leno's put more than 800 miles on the car in a few days. Flewitt comes back with a few guys he knows who have more than 3,000 miles. Flewitt says he likes the fact that owners are driving these things, and not keeping them as a work of art. At about 8 minutes, they go out for a drive.

A Car That Cleans Itself? Yes Please.

Any car that cleans itself is pretty remarkable in our book. So we needed proof that Nissan's green friendly concept could really deliver. Just for the record, luxury cars are always the only option but even we have to admit this self-cleaning feature is pretty cool. Watch this video and see for yourself...

Well that took long enough. Nanotechnology is here, and Nissan is reportedly using it in the paint on its little Versa Note hatchback. We would have started on something a little more exciting, like the hard-to-care-for matte finish on the GT-R's rear spoiler, but that's just us. The super-hydrophobic and oleophobic paint repels water and oil, which led Nissan to call the test vehicle “the world's first self-cleaning car.” We wouldn't go that far, but in the above video, the mud and water do run right off.

Mercedes G-Wagon Revisited

The G Wagon will debut its makeover for 2017. The anticipation is buzzing in the air. With stand out features and upgrades to the current model the new G-class SUV will be slightly larger and weigh much less. The current model weighs 5,666 pounds. The change to the build out of the G-Wagon  reduces its weight by 440 pounds. Read more about the next roll out of the latest Mercedes Benz G-Wagon model.

One of the oldest throwbacks at Mercedes-Benz – the giant, militaristic G-class SUV – will get lighter and greener in 2017. But its blunt, in-your-face attitude shouldn’t change much, Automotive News says. Long a Dallas favorite, the 35-year-old G-class looks like it just rolled off the battlefield, gets 12 miles per gallon in town and costs $115,000. Insiders at Mercedes-Benz told Automotive News that the cultish G-class – a German Hummer essentially – will retain its current overall size and two-box shape after the remake in 2017. However, they said, the high-profile G-wagon will essentially be transformed into a new vehicle with a more contemporary suspension, better interior and extensive use of aluminum and high-strength steel to reduce its three-ton weight.

The Art of Preservation

The art form of collecting older cars is growing in popularity but there has been a little confusion in the verbiage that accompanies this hobby.There are stark differences in the requirements and conditions for a barn find as oppose to a preservation class piece. This article enlightens us in the refined pursuit of collectibles and how this time tested hobby made its way into the world of vintage cars.

If preservation-class cars appeal to the true connoisseur, barn finds appeal to the adventurer, the romantic, the dreamer. While a barn isn't, strictly speaking, necessary for a barn find (any type of nonideal, long-term storage will do), the detritus of the passage of time must be obvious. Thick dust (preferably as thick as the layer of ash deposited by the last eruption of Mount Pinatubo) is de rigueur. We've even heard stories of people running vacuum cleaners in reverse to create or enhance this effect.

Get Ready for the 2016 Maserati Alfieri

The next four years will be busy for Maserati. Their  release of  the new concept Maserati Alfieri at  the Geneva motor show was a hit! This concept car left Maserati fans searching for answers. What are the details? When's the release date? What else does Maserati have up it's sleeve? Check out this article for the answers to those questions and more...

“Just build it,” we said, after seeing the deliciously plausible Maserati Alfieri concept at the Geneva motor show. Maserati chose not to respond to our request/demand immediately, instead teasing us further. “I think this car can be manufactured while preserving a fairly high percentage of similarity to what we're seeing here,” a designer said in an Alfieri video feature. Well, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has laid down a five-year road map for its brands -- or at least those sold in North America -- and Maserati's way forward includes a production version Alfieri coupe and an Alfieri cabriolet. The former comes screaming our way in 2016; the later, in 2017. For what it's worth, the long-awaited Levante SUV is supposed to be ready by next year, and Maserati will pull the covers off a new GranTurismo in 2018. The classically proportioned 2+2 Alfieri concept was built on today's Maserati GranTurismo platform, and it consequently packed a 4.7-liter V8 under its long grand tourer hood.

Porsche Macan: Big Features in Smaller Packages

 Porsche's newest addition to the family, the Macan, is a much smaller version of the older Porsche models. The Macan, because of its size, was met with criticism and a little industry doubt about the company's commitment to their sportscar traditions. The Macan holds true to Porsche's traditional clean lines and sleek curves. This petite-sized beauty holds her own in terms of speed and functionality. The seating capability is slightly similar to Porsche's Cayenne models, boasting the ability to comfortably seat five. Check out these great pictures of the Macan...

Porsche is much focused on making every vehicle in its stable look, feel and perform like a sportscar. That was the reason why naysayers became converts after driving the Cayenne and that is the story that Porsche wants to communicate with the new Macan too. The sleek, aerodynamic, very Porsche exterior of the Macan already speaks to you. Stepping into the cabin and soaking in the plush interior of the Macan just adds to that connect with the car. The most likeable aspects of the Macan’s interior layout is the clutter free dashboard, though the Porsche signature array of control buttons on either side of the gearshift stick on the centre console is a bit intimidating at first.

Meet the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe

Meet the Jaguar F-Type R coupe. The sleek curves of the new model is the fastest of Jaguar's offerings. The F-Type R coupe trails a long list of features including the ability to shift from regular to dynamic mode, active suspension and electronic slip-differential. This Jag will literally take your breath away.

Host Alex Goy put the new hardtop Jaguar F-Type R coupe through its paces in the latest edition of XCar. Goy says the loud, red Jag was the first car he has been pulled over in during a shoot -- which must mean he’s either more restrained than we’d have guessed or just supremely lucky. The F-Type R is now the fastest Jaguar you can buy, with 543 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque on tap. It’s also stiffer than the convertible version, which was already good on the racetrack.

Take a Ride in the Hongqi L5

Check out this $800,000.00 car crafted by "Hongqi". This luxe ride comes fully loaded with a price tag of 5-million yuan. Hongqi has mastered the art of luxury over the last 50 years and the L5 is the pinnacle of that journey. The Hongqi was debuted recently at the Beijing Auto Show and the first model was purchased directly off of the showroom floor. Get a close-up of the Hongqi L5...

China's oldest car company rolled out its first vehicle on Aug. 1, 1958; it was a chrome-lined black sedan designed -- like the pastiche of 1950s cars it resembled, including the Packard-esque Chaika -- to strike equal amounts of fear and inspiration into the revolutionaries. In Chinese, "Hongqi" means "red flag," the most potent symbol of the Chinese Communist Party, making it a fitting name for a company that supplied the apparatchik. A symbol of power, a sphere of influence, a four-wheeled Great Leap Forward! Curiously enough, it took Nixon's 1972 visit for Mao Zedong (who finally swore off the Soviets and their ZIS-110s) to get into a Hongqi.

A Mustang Worth One Million Dollars?

The Mustang is nothing short of an American staple. It's arrival to the Ford assembly line quickly challenged the automotive industry and limitations of American car design. The explosive sales over the first two years were record breaking, surpassing the million unit mark. This condensed documentary walks us through the history of the "Million Dollar Mustang".

The Million Dollar Mustang” is not about how much these great cars go for at auctions in today's heady times, but about what made them worth so much in the first place. Nearly five years in the making, the documentary starts out talking about the Ford Mustang in general, how they sold 22,000 of them on the first sales day and then sold a million of them in the first two years and things like that -- the notion that the Mustang was a revolution in American car design and in the American consciousness. Then it starts to narrow its focus more and pretty soon the bulk of the piece is all about the Shelby GT350 R. This is a good place for it to go because that car, made by Carroll Shelby and his team of motorsports greats, took the Falcon-based economy car and made it corner and brake just as well as it accelerated, for the most part. Once it gets set on that particular Shelby, the film really goes to town.

New Audi Spy Shots

We can think of a million reasons to love Audis just as they are but this recent spy shot of the 2016 roll out just gave us a million more. From the exterior love to the interior overhaul the new Audi S6 promises to blow you away. Again.

Image Credit: www.motorauthority.com

Audi’s latest A6 midsizer first hit the scene as a 2012 model, so the car is just about due for its mid-cycle update. Right on cue, a prototype for just such a car has been spotted. This one is for the sporty S6 model, but most of the changes should feature across the updated A6 range. As the spy shots reveal, the aesthetic changes to the updated S6 will be minimal. We can see that it will be receiving new bumpers and revised headlights. Although the shape of the lights isn’t changing, it appears there are some new LED elements similar to what we saw on the updated 2015 A8. Overseas models will also feature Audi's Matrix LED tech. We know this prototype is for the S6 because of the aggressive front bumper, performance wheels and brakes, lowered suspension, and quad-exhaust tips. The engine in the S6 is Audi’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8. As we saw with the 2015 A8, the engine’s output in this updated S6 will likely be bumped up to 435 horsepower from the current 420-horsepower setting.

Meet the Top Luxury Cars with the Best Value

Luxury cars are becoming increasingly popular in today's society. Offerings of plush features and sleek body styles have lured consumers into luxury dealers for decades. Over the years the notion of luxury and value seemed to be slightly separate. This recent Forbes article debunks the myth of luxury versus value and builds a solid case that consumers can have both.

Luxury cars these days have gotten so plush that automakers have really got to push to make their most high-priced wares seem special. It’s not enough to have a dozen cup holders in your ride—now you need motorized cup holders like in the Cadillac CTS CTS +0.1%, or a full-on champagne cooler like in the Bentley Mulsanne. It’s not enough to have LED headlights and high-density fog lights like those available from Audi —now you need curve-sensitive headlights and a starlight headliner, like in the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Even the interior details, like the leather vents in the Porsche Panamera and granite trim options in the sport sedans at Mercedes-Benz , are flush with expensive textures and materials. But there are plenty of models from premium and luxury brands that actually offer a decent value over long-term ownership.

Oliver Jordan's 220 Car Collection

Oliver Jordan's stash of pre-war cars was recently discovered and entrusted to the hands of VanDerBrink Auctions. This massive collection of cars has been hidden in Enid, Oklahoma for over sixty-one years. Jordan, the car collector, was known around town as "the man with all the cars". VanDerBrink has promised to publish an online list of items for sale prior to the actual auction.

It's been six months since some 500 cars from the gigantic Lambrecht Chevrolet stash found new homes, and many of them are well into their restorations. In fact, all a few needed was a new battery, some fluids, and a few hours of work to be brought back to life. Others will surely be preserved as-is, not even with their dust wiped away. And as historic as that sale was, we always suspected that there could be a few more car stashes in that part of the country that were ripe for picking. It turns out, it didn't take long for another large collection to come to light, this time in Oklahoma. Some 220 cars, most of them pre-war, are set to go to the highest bidder this summer in what promises to be another grand spectacle. And the same auction company that oversaw the sale of the cars from Lambrecht Chevrolet will be auctioning them off one by one on June 7. So just what is this collection? Yvette VanDerBrink of VanDerBrink Auctions clued us in.

Aston Martin DB9 Carbon at New York Auto Show

Aston Martin plans to showcase the DB9 Carbon Edition and the Vantage GT at the upcoming New York Auto Show. Both cars boast exciting new features and price tags ranging between $99,000-$199,000. While the models are being featured at select auto shows across the country BMW plans to deliver the first run of both models by the third quarter of this year.

Aston Martin has announced that it will debut new versions of its Vantage and DB9 sports cars at the New York auto show. At $99,900, the Vantage GT becomes the lowest-price option in the Aston Martin lineup. With a 430-hp V8, a 190-mph top speed and some seriously attractive bodywork, the budget model could prove tempting to Porsche 911 buyers. It will be available as a coupe or roadster with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic. Runs to 60 from a stop should take 4.6 seconds -- not blistering by modern standards but not slow either. The Vantage GT will feature a number of cosmetic touches to differentiate it from other Aston models, and a complement of motorsports-inspired paint and graphic options are available for buyers who feel the need to ensure they'll be able to spot their car in a crowded parking lot.

2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante First Drive Video

Experience the first drive of the 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante. High speed, sleek body and maxed out interiors... we're loving it. Check out more in this first drive video.

The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is probably the sexiest car in the planet--the Internet says it is so--but what good is it in winter? If you're in the third of the country currently buried under a soul-crushing blanket of ice and snow, the only transportation you really want right now is a tauntaun with a DNR and a death wish. Of that practicality, the Volante's sunnily ignorant. What it innately understands: elevating your spirit, sharpening your senses, rocketing around the radiant canyons south of Palm Springs, deflating Corvette egos and stirring hives of Beemers with a brazen flash of carbon-fiber curves and a hormonal exhaust rasp on speed dial.

Porsche is working on a mid-cycle facelift for its 911, and we have a number of prototypes for the Carrera and Carrera S models caught on video. The prototypes reveal that a number of minor styling changes will be introduced with this facelift, but our intel suggests there may be some powertrain updates too. Looking at previous spy shots, at the rear of the prototypes we can see some new intakes; one at either side of the rear bumper. The existing Carrera and Carrera S don’t feature these, suggesting there may be some serious updates under the hood. The current Carrera has a 3.4-liter flat-six engine with 350 horsepower on tap. The Carrera S, meanwhile, gets a 3.8-liter flat-six engine with 400 horsepower.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA Class Review

It's not often that the term affordability and Mercedes-Benz are forged together in one concept. Until the petite CLA class joined the family, making the infamous Mercedes-Benz brand both luxurious and affordable. While some aspects of this model are still being perfected, the overall experience of the car holds true to the highly acclaimed reputation of Mercedes-Benz. This review details the CLA 250 in its entirety.

Mercedes-Benz has a reputation for luxury and comfort, but rarely does one think of a Mercedes as being affordable. The brand hopes to change that--somewhat--with the new CLA Class. The brand's smallest car in America, the CLA Class is a four-door coupe that puts style at the forefront. Priced to start around $30,000, the CLA also offers a strong value proposition. Style plus value? It's an intriguing mix. Fortunately, the CLA also promises decent performance, with the base CLA 250 rated at 208 horsepower and 6.7 seconds to 60 mph thanks to a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine driving the front wheels (or optionally, all four wheels). Gas mileage isn't officially rated yet, but it should be good--we expect at least 30 mpg on the highway.

Take a Sneak Peek at Land Rover's Next Concept Vision

Enjoy this behind the scenes peek at Land Rover's new concept vision and direction for design in the Discovery collection. This video shows the sleek modern interior as a tip off to suggest the exterior design will reflect similar inspirations. What do you think about Land Rover's big new idea? Do you prefer their traditional shape or do you anticipate their new direction in design?

The Land Rover range has recently been freshened extensively, with the addition of the Range Rover Evoque in 2011, and the complete redesign of the Range Rover in 2012. Soon, the Defender will return, but, in the meantime, we'll be treated to the all-new Discovery. Known in America in recent years as the LR4, the Discovery once roamed our shores under its native name. It may soon again, but whatever it's called, this is a preview of what it--and a family of Discovery vehicles--will look like. It's an important model for Land Rover, and the new concept reflects that, says Gerry McGovern, design director and chief creative officer for Land Rover. "Discovery has been pivotal in helping to build the foundations of the Land Rover brand. It is admired all over the world and loved by its strong customer base," said McGovern. "We have created the Vision Concept to share the essence of Land Rover’s new age of Discovery and to debut a new, compelling, relevant design direction that connects on an emotional level with customers of today and tomorrow." Under the hood of the concept, which Land Rover describes as a "design and technology vision for a future new family of Discovery vehicles," some form of high-tech drivetrain from Jaguar Land Rover's Advanced Research program will be revealed.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Unveiling

Recently at the Geneva Motor Show, Aston Martin unveiled the highly anticipated V8 Vantage N430 and DB9 Carbon editions. The V8 hails as the smallest compact car in the Aston Martin collections. The newly revealed DB9 Carbon edition features a 6.0-liter V12 engine laced with 517 horsepower. The bodywork of the cars are elevated with contrasting and complimenting carbon-fiber and black trim. Get all the details on the newest additions to the Aston Martin family in this article highlighting luxury lifestyle automobiles.

Driving an Aston Martin, let alone owning one, is a rare privilege. The British grand touring machines manage to straddle the divide between high-performance sports cars and luxury coupes like few others can, but their prices and limited production mean that they're not exactly a common sight in most locales. But even in such rarified company, some Astons are more special than others. In addition to its core range consisting of the Vantage, DB9, Vanquish and Rapide, the hundred-year-old automaker occasionally produces a handful of special editions. And that's just what it unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this year.
