Audi, no stranger to innovation, offers a host of electrified models under the “e-tron” banner. (And before one asks, yes, it is supposed to be all lowercase.) Much like Audi’s famed “quattro” moniker (also all-lowercase per Audi’s rules), the e-tron name is used to denote both the lineup of electrified offerings, and is also the dedicated name of two specific Audi models: the e-tron crossover and the e-tron GT.

<![CDATA[Audi Q8 e-tron Buyer's Guide]]> We already loved the 2022 e-tron GT, and think it's one of the top picks in its rarified EV performance category. It looks like a concept car, drives like the future, and is a contender for the best performance car in the world, period. So what happens when you adapt the powertrain for a 5,800-pound luxury SUV? We drove it to find out, so see the Table of Contents for that; otherwise, here's everything you need to know about Audi's big Q8 e-tron SUV.

<![CDATA[2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Toyota’s small pickup finally received an identity in 1995, semi-adopting the name of the Native American name for Rainier (Tahoma), Washington State’s highest peak. To that point, the Toyota Hilux pickup, which had been available in North America since the late 1960s, was simply known as the Toyota Pickup.

<![CDATA[2010-2013 Chevrolet C6 Corvette Grand Sport: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Since 1953, Chevrolet has had a winning formula with the Corvette. Two seats, long hood, short deck, and (for the most part) a powertrain capable of taking on almost any other sports cars in the world. Regardless if it was Dodge's venomous Viper, or the Audi's flagship R8, or even the mighty (and far more expensive) Lamborghini Huracan, the Corvette took on all comers.

<![CDATA[Mazda Mazdaspeed6: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Mazda is definitely one of the more interesting automakers of the current day. At one point, they offered humble hatchbacks, sedans, and RWD sports cars to regular buyers, but now they're making strides towards the premium segment. They are aiming to compete with the biggest players in the luxury car segment, with the new CX-90 leading the charge. They are also hell-bent on keeping the internal combustion engine alive, and they're working on some very clever technology to make that happen.

<![CDATA[2006-2010 BMW M5 (E60): Prices, Specs, And Features]]> BMW M has literally written history books since their inception back in 1972. The M obviously stands for Motorsport, and for the longest time, that's all that the M division did: take BMWs and turn them into world-dominating race cars. They started out with the incredibly successful 3.0 CSL, which most people know as the Batmobile.

<![CDATA[2005-2016 Aston Martin DB9: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> If there is one thing that Aston Martin is good at, it's luxurious grand tourers. They started out 110 years ago, and for the longest time, they were successful in racing championships, particularly at LeMans, an event that every gearhead should attend. The real renaissance for Aston Martin began when David Brown purchased the automaker. That's when what you might consider Aston Martin's greatest hits began, all of them carrying the DB name, David Brown's initials.

<![CDATA[1996 Chevrolet Corvette C4 Grand Sport: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> For those that don't remember 1996, it was a time of great change and hope. Michael Jordan and the Bulls were NBA champs, the Dallas Cowboys actually made, and won, Super Bowl XXX, and Dolly the sheep became the first cloned animal in history. In the automotive world, and specifically for Chevrolet, 1996 served as something of a bridge year. Chevy had just axed their world-conquering C4 Corvette ZR-1 a year earlier in 1995, and also announced that an all-new fifth generation Corvette was on the horizon for 1997. So with no ZR-1, and the entire C5 lineup, including the soon-to-be-superstar C5 Corvette Z06 still some time away, what could they do to entice the Corvette faithful to not jump ship? That's easy! Just resurrect one of the greatest names in the Corvette's illustrious history and let the world marvel at the 1996 Corvette Grand Sport!

<![CDATA[2024 Buick Envista: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> General Motors introduced the Buick Envista small SUV to China in 2022, as a domestic market product. Overwhelmingly positive public reaction encouraged the company to boost production of the compact crossover for other world markets.

<![CDATA[2000-2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Mercedes-Benz has been making luxury cars for a good while. They started with inventing the automobile in the literal sense, and they transpired into one of the ultimate purveyors of luxury sedans, SUVs, and even compact cars. Mercedes models became go-to vehicles for the jet set, world leaders, and CEOs the world over. About 50 years ago, if you wanted a Mercedes-Benz, your choice was very limited: you could only have the best car that they offered.

<![CDATA[1999-2006 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class (C215): Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Mercedes-Benz went from inventing the automobile, to becoming one of the world's most desired makers of luxury cars. It's one of those brands that means something deep, even for folks who are not that into cars. For a long time now, the absolute peak of the Mercedes-Benz lineup has always been the S-Class.

<![CDATA[2023 Genesis Electrified GV70: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Genesis continues on their aggressive electrification journey with the Electrified GV70. The no-nonsense naming describes the SUV perfectly, an electric iteration of the existing GV70 SUV. When developing its current lineup Genesis secretly left room for future batteries and electric motors, giving the brand an easy path to electrification with their current lineup. Much like the Electrified G80, the Electrified GV70 is an EV without making a big deal about looking overly futuristic. Though this is not a compliance build, the 800-volt architecture means this is one of the fastest-charging EV's on the market, with speeds only shared by its brand siblings and a few offerings from Europe like the Porsche Taycan. The Genesis GV70 Electrified is a compelling SUV, and despite Genesis existing as an independent brand for a mere six years, they are already making history.

<![CDATA[1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> After getting put on civilian duty, the Jeep CJ was still a bit too much of an unstoppable off-roading war machine for the average consumer looking to tackle a gravel road on the weekends. With that in mind Jeep scaled back on the tank-like qualities of its flagship truck and in 1986 introduced the world to the more civilized YJ Wrangler (as an '87 model).

<![CDATA[2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> The Toyota vehicle portfolio has changed a lot over the years. They've done just about every type of vehicle there is, and you could lead lengthy discussions about what type of vehicle Toyota is the best at. Some might say it's indestructible family sedans and SUVs, like the Camry and the RAV4, others might say it's for their legendary sports cars, like the Celica and the Supra.

The C-Class designation began in 1993.

<![CDATA[1984-1989 Toyota 4Runner: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> SUVs of the past typically don’t conceive from a ground-up design with a fervor toward convenience. Rather, they’re trucks first and commuters second, far from the crossover world that demand the best in practicality and refinement today.

<![CDATA[2024 Hyundai Sonata: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Believe it or not, the Sonata is the longest running nameplate for Hyundai. It debuted in the mid-1980s at a time when sedans were starting to grow in popularity. Now though, it will bow out along with the Kia K5 at a time when sedans just aren’t all the rage anymore.

<![CDATA[1999-2009 Bentley Arnage: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Bentley has become one of the most beloved makers of luxury cars in the world. The first Bentleys appeared over a century ago, and they were quite the sight and sound to behold. The brand would then see a lot of success at Le Mans, especially with the Bentley Boys behind the wheel. Eventually, Bentley became part of the Rolls-Royce umbrella. While Rolls-Royce was all about chauffeur-driven cars, Bentleys were more about placing the owner behind the wheel.

<![CDATA[2000-2003 BMW Z8: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> There are some cars that just shouldn't exist, and yet they do. Cars like the fantastical Lamborghini Countach, or Dodge's neo-Cobra, the venomous Viper, seem to be too eye-popping, jaw-dropping, and incredible to be anything more than a wishful dream of some automotive graphic designer. Yet, they have come, gone, and in the process inspired millions of men's, women's and children's driving tests. BMW has also made plenty of exciting cars over the years, though most of them like the incredible E30 and subsequent M3 were, and are, more production cars that don't garner quite the same reaction as say, the too-crazy-to-be-true i8. But, when Bimmer decided to bring to life a real-life version of their Z07 concept car from the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show called the Z8, the world was never the same.

<![CDATA[2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Volkswagen has been around for almost a century, and during that time, we've seen countless cars of just about every shape and size from this German automaker. They've also made some of the most iconic, cult status cars of all time, like the Beetle and the Bus. While they've experimented with just about every type of car there is, people still find it very tough to pair "Volkswagen" and "luxury cars" in the same sentence.

<![CDATA[1990-1995 Toyota 4Runner: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> There are multiple good reasons why Toyota is one of the most popular automakers in the world right now. They have always provided their consumers with no-nonsense cars that offer most, if not all the best features, with a healthy dose of reliability and peace of mind. We've seen countless Toyota models over the past near-century, of every type, size, and purpose.

<![CDATA[1987-1995 Jeep YJ: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> You can take the man out of the army, but you can't take the army out of the man... or in this case, Jeep. Built for duty in World War II, the Willys Jeep did multiple tours overseas, credited as playing a major factoring in the Allies' victory. Even after being put on civilian duty, the Jeep CJ was just short of a road-going tank. While its engine would never get confused with something like the LT4 found in the C6 Corvette Z06, CJ7's top-level 304 cubic inch AMC V8 was ready for war. Add to that manually-locking hubs, and a semi-truck style shifter, the CJ was a bit more militant than some customers could handle. Officially retired in 1986, Jeep decided to soften up its American icon with its newest model, the YJ series Wrangler.

The Fiat brand is currently on life support stateside with only one model, but with new cash injections thanks to Stellantis, the brand hopes to launch an aggressive campaign once again. The 500e is a completely new car from the ground up, boasting more EV range than competitors like the Mini SE, which will be on hiatus for 2024 as the brand readies for a new generation. With funky retro styling and modern electric vehicle technology, the 500e could be the perfect electric car for first-time buyers.

<![CDATA[1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Toyota is one of the highest-performing, most desirable automakers in the world. We're very much used to applying the term "desirable" to luxury automakers, but for most people, Toyota is as desirable as it gets. Their cars are reliable, well-equipped, good-to-drive, practical, and did we mention reliable? Over the past eight decades, Toyota has made just about every manner of vehicle you could imagine, from tiny compacts to award-winning race cars.

They quite literally invented the automobile with the original Patent Motorwagen of the late 19th century, and they're still one of the most successful manufacturers of luxury cars in the world. For a lot of people, the three-pointed star on the front, whether it would be on the hood or inside the grille, means a lot. While we can debate about this for quite a while, for a lot of people, that star means that you have made it in life.

<![CDATA[2007-2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> With a performance muscle car like the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, historical context is of the utmost importance. Back in the 1960s, Ford commissioned the godfather of muscle cars to help them defeat might Ferrari at Le Mans. The end result of that partnership was the incredible 500-plus horsepower GT40, and a subsequent 1-2-3 place finish at Le Mans for each of the GT40 entrants. After embarrassing the very proud Ferrari racing team, Shelby basically got a hall pass to do whatever he wanted at Ford. So, in the same manner we saw with the venerable Cobra, he decided to take the biggest engine available and this time, stuff it into a Mustang. The result was a 428 cubic-inch engine, and the new GT500. But after three short years, with the impending gas crisis looming large, the GT500 disappeared after the 1969 model year, not seen again until 2007 when the second generation GT500 roared back onto the scene.

<![CDATA[2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler JK: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Out of all the vehicles that were in use in WWII, perhaps the most notable and iconic one is the Jeep. A company called Willys-Overland came up with the original Willys Jeep, and its 4WD system and high ground clearance made it very plucky on rough terrain. After the war, global militaries no longer required this sort of vehicle, so the company started selling them as civilian models. The original CJ Jeeps have since become collectible items.

For some, they're just a fairly mundane automaker that makes very safe cars, even though that's not always the case. Some people love them because of their extreme focus on safety. Others love Volvo just because their cars are really cool, from their five-cylinder powertrain to their Scandinavian approach to luxury, comfort, and design. No matter which way you see Volvo, it's tough to argue that they're very good at what they do.

Perhaps their most well-known pickup truck to date is the Hilux, which they unfortunately don't offer in North America anymore. They did back in the 1980s, however, and they simply called it the Toyota Pickup. It was a successful model across a global scale, but during the 1980s, something interesting happened to the Hilux.

The ranks, in this case, mean a regular Japanese automaker's response to everyone's favorite German luxury cars. At first, Infiniti's lineup would consist of slightly more luxurious, rebadged Nissan models. They were also among the first to see the appeal of luxury SUVs, with the QX4, a luxurified Nissan Pathfinder.

<![CDATA[1990-1995 Corvette C4 ZR1: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> Although most people recognize the ZR-1 badge when it comes to Chevrolet Corvettes as the mark of speed and power, what they don't realize is that the ZR-1 has been around a lot longer than most people realize. In fact, the first Z showed up all the way back in 1970 during the C3 Corvette era as a hardcore racer package. A hi-po (and underrated) 370 horsepower LT1 small block was complemented by a heavy-duty Muncie four-speed manual transmission, better cooling, bigger brakes, and an upgraded suspension (for the early '70s) were all part of the package. What wasn't part of the package were superfluous things like air-conditioning, power windows, power steering, and a radio. Chevy only made 60 of these no-nonsense nightmares between 1970-72, and once they were gone, so was the Corvette's ZR-1 badge... for almost two decades, until its triumphant return in 1990.

The old school 507 didn't do that great for BMW, and it would take a while before the German automaker tried toying with small two-seater sports cars again.

As well as pretty much coining the term "cheap speed," it was one of the first cars to offer buyers an endless amount of customization and personalization.

Ford debuted the Mustang in April 1964 and so the Pony Car was born. After watching Ford dominate the world, GM realized it needed a four-seat muscle car to battle the Blue Oval's champion, and in 1967, the first Camaro raced into the ring with the Mustang. For the last half century, the Camaro has been going round after round in generation after generation with the Mustang, and when it came to the fifth generation of the Camaro came along, their heavyweight prizefighter came in 2014 when the Z/28 made a heroic comeback.

By the 80s, Mercedes-Benz and BMW had established themselves as leaders among manufacturers of luxury cars. Audi was still a second-rate luxury automaker, and Cadillac and Lincoln were both losing their loyal customer base... to the elderly. Toyota became interested in the luxury car segment during this time, but they knew they couldn't just sell their high-end models as Toyotas, as that wasn't what their consumer base was after.

However, between demonstrating the true capabilities of AWD on the rally circuit, and creating the first ever high-performance station wagon, people started taking Audi a lot more seriously, and during the 90s, the automaker "officially" became a part of the Big Three German premium automakers.

<![CDATA[2024 Subaru Crosstrek: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> After several years on the back-burner, the Subaru Crosstrek receives a refresh for the 2024 model year. The new Crosstrek sports an all-new exterior and interior. Safety and technology features from the rest of the Subaru lineup, like the latest version of "Eyesight" driver's assist and a tablet-like center screen. The rugged little crossover features things like standard all-wheel-drive and even heavier body-cladding in true Subaru fashion. Subaru also dumps the manual transmission for 2024, leaving a standard CVT as the only transmission option. With it ends the reign of it being the last manual crossover, you can buy stateside.

<![CDATA[2013 Corvette 427: Prices, Specs, And Features]]> In case you didn't know, 2013 was the last model year for the venerable Chevrolet C6 Corvette. Although that was sad news for those of us who couldn't purchase one new off the showroom floor, there is a silver lining to the story. No, we're not talking about the magnificent C7 -- although that generation of Vette offered stellar performance and style in a very different way than the C6. What excited us the most was that Chevy snuck in one last 'new' model to their existing lineup of crossed-flagged wonders right before leaving the C6 to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky: The Corvette 427 convertible, and all we can say is, "Better late than never!"

They've always taken a different approach to the luxury car formula, focusing a lot more on the driver, and providing a British take on luxury. Even though they have been, to some extent, in the shadows of the Germans for the longest time, Jaguar's luxury cars are truly fantastic, and no other model in the brand's portfolio represents the peak of their expertise quite like the XJ.

Acura's target market has always been North America, and the idea was to provide consumers with more luxurious versions of most Honda vehicles, while also offering the same qualities that attracted people to Honda in the first place. Arguably one of the most iconic Acura models of all time is the Integra.

This motto has been a part of the brand's values for the longest time, and most people agree that very few luxury cars drive quite like a BMW.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, both the fourth generation of Camaro and its twin, the Pontiac Trans Am WS6 were annihilating the Mustang when it came to sheer performance. Ironically though, the Mustang was crushing the F-Body twins in terms of sales. So, although Pony Cars were all about muscle and performance, the bottom line for car manufacturers is about money.

The large three-row SUV brings unique practicality to the segment. It offers greater space than competitors thanks to its boxy styling and quicker next-generation charging speeds. Volvo also claims the SUV will be the safest offering to ever reach the market, with an array of sensors, new programs, and a solid structure with new battery management. The EX90 will also be the first Volvo BEV with stateside production. The SUVs will begin rolling off the company's North Carolina plant this fall. Volvo also intends to keep building their current XC90 as a companion, offering a gas alternative for those not quite ready for such a big switch. Though with the copious new technologies and materials, it will be difficult to shy away.

The Blue Oval coined the term "pony car," and the Mustang was one of the first ever cheap speed cars, not to mention, it was among the first to offer buyers endless customization options. Perhaps the best things to happen to the Ford Mustang was the introduction of a V8 powertrain, which happened thanks in part to Carroll Shelby.

Arguably one of the most important family cars that Ford has ever made is the original Explorer.

The XM is unlike any BMW before, with unique, intimidating styling to go along with the offbeat powertrain. This is also the first time "M" engineering makes it onto an electrified platform; it will also be the most powerful vehicle ever to wear the M branding. The XM needs to prove a lot with only one trim level and the most expensive price tag ever on a BMW SUV. But with the pace-setting level of luxury and technology, it just might.

<![CDATA[A Guide To Buying A 2023 McLaren GT]]> McLaren is an automaker that everyone knows primarily for their supercars, and their absolute domination in motorsport, particularly F1. When McLaren first dabbled in road cars, they made the ultimate road car, which we know now as the McLaren F1.

<![CDATA[A Guide To Buying A 2023 Lamborghini Urus]]> They say that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely. That saying is usually in conjunction with some crooked politician or any number of aspects in corporate America. But we can also see this say ideology applied to the world of super SUVs. Anyone that has spent any time behind the wheel of the super-sporty Bentley Bentayga, or the ungodly expensive Rolls-Royce Cullinan, or even something as attainable as the Acura MDX Type-S immediately begins to feel a level of superiority over others on the road. Then there is the 2023 Lamborghini Urus. When you're behind the wheel of something that is more expensive, more powerful, and more everything than anything else on the road, you can bet it will begin to corrupt you from the moment you start the engine.

<![CDATA[A Guide To Buying A 2023 McLaren Artura]]> When McLaren first decided to make road cars back in the '90s, they did it in the most McLaren way possible: by making the ultimate road car. Very few people would argue that the brainchild of Gordon Murray and Ron Dennis, the original McLaren F1, was exactly that. After the F1 cemented its reputation in the automotive world, McLaren collaborated with Mercedes-Benz on a road car, before finally going completely by themselves with the original MP4-12C.

<![CDATA[A Guide To Buying A 1999–2004 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning]]> It wasn't that long ago that the idea of a 'fast' truck was simply getting the biggest V8 that was on the options list and keeping the cargo bed empty. But, then like a whirlwind, the mighty GMC Syclone showed up on the car scene and in just one production year, showed the world that a truck doesn't have to have a bed full of cargo to be able to haul.

<![CDATA[A Guide To Buying A 2016-2021 BMW M2 (F87)]]> BMW has always been good at making performance cars, regardless of shapes and sizes.

<![CDATA[A Guide To Buying A 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray]]> The first Chevrolet Corvette arrived in 1953, as the American response to European sports cars that were slowly starting to appear during that time.

<![CDATA[A Guide To Buying A 2005-2015 Nissan Xterra]]> Nissan has a history of off-road SUVs.

<![CDATA[A Guide To Buying A 2023 Mercedes-Benz G-Class And G-Class AMG]]> Now in its fifth year of production the Mercedes-Benz G-Class continues to blast through sales goals despite raises in price. After a year of closed order banks in the United States following heavy demand and supply shortages the G-Wagon is again available to order for those stateside. The G-Class returns with an even higher base MSRP, new colors, and new special addition trims. Competition is not in the G-Class's territory, as the massive SUV is in a styling class of its own. Even the V8 Land Rover Defender falls short in exuding the same amount of luxury and ruggedness that comes effortlessly with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
