The BMW 3-Series 5th Generation: An Overview

BMW began building the 3-series for the 1975 model year. Billed as the company’s entry-level luxury car, it has gone through several face-lifts, upgrades, and generations.

The 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT: An Affordable AMG For The Masses

  

Affordability is a state of mind…well, a state of your wallet at least. Mercedes-AMG is well aware that it is losing market share by not offering a discount or econo sports car model; hence, the premium automaker is adding a new model to its lineup: the AMG GT. In the interest of full disclosure, this is not an econo offering in the true sense. It is simply the Mercedes-AMG version

A Quick Look At The 2017 Porsche Panamera

image-3Several years ago, Porsche was looking for a way to expand its market. Casting about for solutions, the company had many options on the table.

The architectural guru Ludwig Mies van der Rohe once said, ” God is in the details.” Looking at the 2016 Ferrari 488 Spider, you would think he was gushing about it; but alas, he was talking about architecture.

Perhaps it looks like many other Italian supercars; however, driving one is like roping the wind and not wanting to let go. Not long ago, buying a Ferrari with an open top meant making significant sacrifices: not just the increased risk of skin cancer and catching a much younger wife, then losing the Ferrari to said younger wife in a divorce. The 2016 Spider has changed all of that, well just the sacrifices in performance…the younger wife scenario is still a very real possibility! While many of us will never see a 488 Spider, let alone drive one, we have reviews to live through. To that end, tallyho!
