UPDATE: Added official statements from Maserati.

Mercedes is going to be extremely busy over the next couple of years. The German luxury brand intends to roll out 17 electric vehicles and 19 models with combustion engines. The portfolio will be overhauled with fresh products, ranging from an all-new CLA to an S-Class facelift. New additions will…

Remember when you heard that Mitsubishi was bringing back the Eclipse? Remember feeling absolutely gutted when it was revealed as a terrifically average, uninspiring SUV instead of a fun sports car? Volkswagen doesn't want people to feel that way about its cars. Or at least, the cars with exciting legacies,…

Earlier this week, Kia unveiled several new electric models that will enter production soon. One of the most exciting is the pint-sized EV2 Concept, which previews a production model by the same name. The EV2 is basically Kia’s electric Europan city car, shrinking down the E-GMP platform for drivers who need…

Update: AMG has since confirmed to Motor1 that the new AMG C63 will, in fact, not get a V-8 engine, contrary to previous reporting. Other AMG models will still get the new V-8, but it's unclear what the company has planned for its updated C63.

We certainly didn't have DS becoming a rival for Bentley or Rolls-Royce on our bingo cards. As unexpected as it might seem, Stellantis aspires to fight the ultra-luxury brands. The automaker wants to elevate the DS Automobiles brand to a higher echelon by making the Citroën spin-off brand the "Louis…

Porsche’s best-known models are sports cars, but the brand’s moneymakers are the SUVs: the Macan and Cayenne. The smaller of the two, the Macan, is Porsche’s global best-seller, so eyebrows were surely raised when the manufacturer announced that it would go electric-only for its next act. But now, one Porsche…

In 2022, Mercedes-Benz decided to drop the much-loved twin-turbo V-8 in its AMG C63 in favor of a hybridized four-cylinder powertrain.
