Cadillac introduces a new compact luxury sedan for 2020, the CT4. Car2020

  Cadillac introduces a new compact luxury sedan for 2020, the CT4. Adorned with uncluttered styling, it fills the slot in the lineup that was vacated when the ATS was discontinued. Few details on the base model are available as of this writing, but we do know it will be rear drive with all-wheel-drive available, and come powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Cadillac has, however, released preliminary information on the sporty CT4-V model, which will feature a 2.7-liter turbocharged engine with an estimated 320 horsepower, a near perfect 50/50 front to rear weight ratio, grippy Brembo brakes, and precise handling abilities. Available features include Cadillac’s semi-autonomous Super Cruise system that allows hands-free highway driving.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2019 new cars

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, which earned Cars.com's top award with its 2015 model-year redesign, enters the fifth model year of its current generation with styling updates, more power and new technology. The visual changes are mild, but new technologies close the gap with the larger E-Class sedan, which Mercedes redesigned more recently. The updated C-Class debuted at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show in C300 sedan form — that is, with the base engine most Americans buy. It goes on sale in the U.S. late in 2018.  Exterior Mercedes-Benz claims redesigns for the bumpers, headlights and taillights, but the revisions are light. Full-LED lights, which were previously optional, are now standard. They have reorganized elements but the same basic shape; the same goes for the bumpers. With an optional AMG styling package, the C300 gets a diamond-pattern grille with a single crossbar that was previously reserved for AMG C43 versions of the sedan....

The following list is based on an informal poll of U.S. News automotive staff, and it showcases some of the best-looking new vehicles of 2019.

car - Audi R8 V10 Spyder (2017) review

car - Audi R8 V10 Spyder (2017) review ► New Audi R8 V10 Spyder tested ► Capable of 0-62mph in 3.6sec ► On sale now for £128k It’s a bit dull, the Audi R8 Coupe, in my opinion. Hark! I can hear the understeer, and smell the burning oil, as  das Audi fanboys  career towards my house. Hold your horses; I am not saying it’s a bad car, not by any stretch. That sonorous V10, smooth ride, fabulous interior and staggering accessibility – even Pastor Maldonado could get it cleanly around a circuit – all count heavily in its favour.  Why so little love for the Coupe, then? As an everyday supercar, it excels. It is extremely proficient, refined and disciplined. It is also, as a result, terrifically  safe  and somewhat aloof .  Consequently, those looking for heart-trembling excitement may find it lacking. This new drop-top version, however, reinstates some of the thrill required to get the blood flowing. The fixed-roo...

car-Honda Ridgeline Black Edition AWD (2017) review ► Honda Ridgeline pick-up tested ► Naturally aspirated V6 and AWD ► 2017 model year US-market truck The extended version of  Honda’s  2010 Impossible Dream advert illustrated how Honda has built everything from motorbikes to sports cars, quad bikes to speed boats, private jets to robots. But no mention was made of a pick-up truck, perhaps because the advert was never shown in the US. Yet  Honda  has designed and manufactured the Ridgeline – often referred to as a ‘sports utility truck’ – in the US since 2005. The second-generation version was launched at the 2016 Detroit motor show, and  CAR  took the opportunity to drive the top-spec Black Edition AWD model during a recent trip Stateside. What platform is the Ridgeline based on? It’s Honda’s Global Light Truck platform, which features a multi-material mix consisting mainly of super-high- (19.3%) and high-strength steel (35.7%), with a l...

McLaren 540C (2017) review car news2017 ► McLaren 540C review ► It's the cheapest McLaren yet ► Full UK road test, specs  The 540C is McLaren’s least expensive car. As such there’s much that’s missing. It lacks the 650S’s Proactive Chassis Control, which replaces mechanical anti-roll bars (and their intrinsic compromise) with interlinked hydraulics for a plush ride with circuit-ready body control. A simpler kind of McLaren The 540C also uses iron brake discs rather than carbon-ceramics, and four-piston front calipers as opposed to the 570S’s six-piston units. It obviously also goes without the hybrid powertrains of either the P1 or McLaren’s MP4-31 F1 car (a relief in the case of the latter), and at 533bhp, 398lb ft and 199mph is down 29bhp, 45lb ft and 5mph on the £143,250 570S. The new McLaren 540C costs £128,550. The link between the McLaren 540C and its more senior peers What’s compelling though is just how much the 540C retains. McLaren’s ultra-stiff c...
