Mercedes-Benz may build some of the most opulent cars in the world, but their big money makers are actually their more affordable models. This article focusses on the B250, the brand’s smallest car in North America. It’s not the most popular though—that honour belongs to the C Class. Nonetheless, the …

Nissan caught a lot of people off guard last year when it revamped the Pathfinder. The update coincided with the decision to ditch the ladder-type frame borrowed from the Titan pick-up. It went from being an authentic SUV to a large crossover with a unibody, front-wheel drive and optional all-wheel …

Some cars simply defy logic and reason - not to mention the laws of physics. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 4MATIC is one such vehicle, a lavish four-door luxury car that accelerates at a rate its two-tonne curb weight indicates shouldn't be possible. Of course, 'impossible' is a word that …

We are living in the glory days of full-size pickups, a statement fully supported by the 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie. While you can still grab a low-spec, regular cab work truck from the segment's leading luminaries (which also include Chevrolet/GMC and Ford), most truck buyers opt for at least four …

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is ample demonstration of why this is the case: this full-size luxury flagship is packed full of the cutting edge technologies that have come to define the sedan, features that …

The 2014 Hyundai Tucson does what many other compact crossovers have been unable to manage in recent years: it stays small. Considerably shorter than most of its so-called 'small SUV' rivals, and with a light curb weight that keeps it nimble on its toes, the Hyundai Tucson is reminiscent of …

The diesel revolution is here – actually, it’s been percolating for quite a long time – and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel is one of its most impressive heralds. The Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel is a brave move from the off-road brand to put itself on par with luminaries such …

The 2014 Lexus GX 460 is the perfect illustration of the luxury brand’s ‘stand fast’ strategy for truck development. Much like the larger LX 570, and Toyota platform-mates the 4Runner and Land Cruiser, the Lexus GX 460 is somewhat of an anachronism, a full-frame SUV in a world where very …
