Porsche stepped onto new ground when it released the Macan. Said to be the ‘SUV that handles like a sports car,’ the smaller sibling to Porsche’s lone Cayenne SUV intended on bridging the gap between car and truck – not an easy task when you’re rated as highly as the Stuttgart manufacturer is...

Read MoreFeature: Monster Mustang: Vaughn Gittin Jr's Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept /
The 2015 Mustang has been all the rage since being officially launched in September, 2014. The bolder lines, standard selectable drive modes, all-new 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four and fully-independent rear suspension have made this the ultimate muscle car for the 21st century. Being a previous Mustang owner and having test driven the 2015 2.3-liter and, more extensively, the GT Performance Package in California late last year, I can easily vouch that this S550 is a Mustang like no other.
Up until the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, I couldn’t imagine sitting in a hotter 2015...

...It marks a changing of the guard at the company long seen as the luxury “boatmaker” of the industry; cars that had creature comforts and were fantastic for bourgeoisie businessmen, but had little to compare when it came to the likes of their sportier, agile European counterparts. The larger CTS coupe paved the way, and now the ATS coupe has refined the sleeker, bolder and sharper representation the Cadillac brand – not only in design, but driving character. It’s also the first Cadillac to carry the company’s revised, sleeker crest...

Everyone wants a piece of this car. It’s spreading like a virus. Just ask the lineup of photographers who caught the bug and were begging to shoot it. It’s a Godzilla, it’s a Liberty Walk. It’s the marriage of the two perfect specimens. As a Canadian car, it’s one of only two LBs, and undoubtedly the finest...

It’s almost a moot point to mention the Chevrolet Corvette has been a staple in the pages of sportscar history since its inauguration in 1953. The two-seat, front engine C1 quickly was an instant classic, the shell was entirely fiberglass — a first for a mass-production car — allowing for greater freedom in design and a lightweight advantage over the competition...
Read MoreBlog: Top 10 reasons the Jaguar F-Type should be on your convertible short list /
The Jaguar F-Type has been all the rage from the English manufacturer since it first hit auto show floors, and after driving the roadster in V8S trim, it's obvious why. Rather than give it the traditional review treatment, let's just cut to the chase and look at the top 10 reasons why it should be considered for your next convertible purchase.

The 228i and M235i mark the first cars to don the “2” badge since the 2002, both carrying the basic traditions of small fun that appeals to a wide audience. Speaking specifically on the M235i, the car is significantly more powerful, with a greater emphasis on performance and luxury. On further inspection, the M235i appears less of a descendant of the 2002, and more like a modern evolution of another great from BMW’s past: the E30 M3.
