http://youtu.be/Wklo-xALYDM 2021 Cadillac Escalade Starting at: $77,790 Highs High-tech cabin, suitably upscale, gutsy V-8 engine. Lows Eye-popping price tag, big thirst for gasoline, up-level version of GMC and Chevy siblings are almost as nice. Verdict Buyers who view the Escalade as a status symbol will be delighted by the latest generation of Cadillac's flagship SUV. Overview Once upon a time, back in the late 1990s, General Motors slapped a Cadillac grille on a GMC Yukon—and the rest is history. The 2021 Cadillac Escalade will mark the model's fifth generation and this new one is head and shoulders above the original in terms of luxury, style, and technology. Borrowing elements from the Escala concept car from 2016, the new Escalade offers visual panache worthy of i...

http://youtu.be/mPq73GhqtcI 2021 Ferrari Roma Starting at: $222,620 Highs Drop-dead gorgeous design, practical interior for a Ferrari, great at cruising or racing. Lows Automatic gearbox is eager to upshift, steering effort is lighter than expected, currently no drop-top version. Verdict The Roma's beautiful bodywork pays homage to Maranello's historic GT cars, and the new coupe is delightful behind the wheel, too. Overview Bellissimo! Magnifico! Stupendo! All of these exclamatory Italian adjectives apply to the positively beautiful Ferrari Roma. The shapely coupe is the latest model to come out of the company's Maranello headquarters and named after the country's capital—Rome. While its sheetmetal recalls Ferraris from the 50s and 60s, the grand tourer also hides serious pe...

http://youtu.be/9cqhAMQwQpA 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Starting at: $119,650 Highs Twin-turbo V-8 makes great power and sounds, truly showstopping styling, hugely capable and surprisingly civil.Lows Driving experience isn't as intimate as the 911's, not as quick as some rivals, cabin may cause claustrophobia.Verdict The GT's robust lineup is objectively gorgeous and impressively balanced for street or track duty. What's New for 2021? For 2021, AMG gives the basic GT fresh standard features, more power, and a Stealth Edition. With an additional 54 horsepower and 29 pound-feet of torque, the GT's engine now makes 523 ponies and 494 pound-feet. Estimated acceleration times and top speeds also increase, with a claimed 60-mph time of 3.7 seconds (two-tenths quicker than before) and a top speed ...

http://youtu.be/dQvoBfNoL20 Thanks: ERCAR MOTORS https://www.instagram.com/ercarmotors/ 2022 Audi Q8 Starting at: $70,395 Highs Entertaining to drive, ride is terrific regardless of wheel size, palatial interior with plenty of tech. Lows Acceleration lags at city speeds, some practicality sacrificed for style, lower touchscreen controls are distracting. Verdict The two-row Audi Q8 is compromised compared with the Q7, but it's undeniably more stylish. What's New for 2022? For 2022, the Q8 lineup has enhanced packages and new standard features. The entry-level Premium trim now comes standard with 21-inch wheels, power-folding exterior mirrors with memory settings, and several other amenities.

http://youtu.be/4qmxdRqru_Y 2023 Kia Sportage Starting at: $26,000 est Overview The 2023 Kia Sportage should separate itself from the throng of compact crossovers with its truly extroverted styling. The Kia's unconventional face features a set of alien-looking headlights and a distinct grille design. Its bodywork is sleek and muscular, and its taillights draw comparisons to those on the new all-electric Kia EV6. We don't know what powertrains the U.S.-spec Sportage will have, but they'll likely be shared with the recently redesigned Hyundai Tucson, with which it shares a platform. That suggests a 187-hp four-cylinder engine will be standard; a hybrid or plug-in hybrid could also be offered. Likewise, we think the 2023 Sportage could be available with a turbo-four that makes around 280 h...

Lows Not particularly spacious, not particularly efficient, lengthy warranty not transferrable. Verdict An underrated and often overlooked compact SUV, the Hyundai Tucson has many positive attributes and delivers an agreeable driving demeanor as well. Overview Hyundai's handsome and value-packed Tucson compact SUV may be overshadowed by the luxury Palisade and sprightly Kona SUVs, but like its siblings it has a lot to offer. Its cabin is nicely laid out and offers plenty of convenience and luxury features—especially toward the more expensive end of the lineup where the Limited...

http://youtu.be/HxMR0iSetio Thanks: ZEN MOTORS https://www.instagram.com/zenmotorstr/ 2021 Lamborghini Urus Starting at: $222,004 Highs Looks unlike any other SUV, faster than any other SUV, more practical than any other Lambo. Lows Inferior craftsmanship versus other Lamborghinis, the definition of a gas-guzzler, most people can't afford one. Verdict The Urus is a wildly styled super SUV that transcends the boundaries of this outrageous supercar brand. What's New for 2021? Lamborghini makes the 2021 Urus more unmistakable—if that's even possible—by giving it wilder paint options. These include either bright green, orange, or yellow as part of the new Pearl Capsule appearance package. This kit also adds contrasting 23-inch wheels as well as black trim pieces on the roof, rea...

http://youtu.be/NzvN1IUTMDU 2022 Lexus NX Starting at: $40,000 est Overview After sitting back and watching the rest of the luxury-subcompact SUV scene mature over the past few years, the Lexus NX is getting back in the game with a modernization of its own. The 2022 model is completely new and its styling is more streamlined than the outgoing generation's, featuring LED headlamps and a windshield with a more aggressive rake. Although the NX shares its chassis and powertrains with the Toyota RAV4, the Lexus more closely resembles the brand's small UX crossover, albeit taller and wider. Lexus will likely offer the 2022 model with two different gasoline-powered engines and also two different hybrids, one of which is a plug-in. The freshly minted 2022 NX will pose a bigger threat to rival sm...

One of the best-known vehicles in the world is getting a long-awaited replacement with the debut of the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser. Unfortunately for Americans, we won't be getting it. The new model, known internally and to Land Cruiser enthusiasts as the 300 Series, is a melding of the tried-and-true 200 Series that's been around since 2007 and the GA-F derivative of Toyota's newer TNGA platform. Although it's still a body-on-frame truck-based vehicle, the Land Cruiser's frame has been redesigned in an effort to reduce weight and increase rigidity. Toyota claims the 2022 Land Cruiser is 441 pounds lighter than the old ...

http://youtu.be/zS-xSiTVxZQ Thanks: AWCI MOTORS https://www.instagram.com/awcimotors/ 2021 Porsche Panamera Starting at: $88,550 Highs Refined road manners, powerful engines, practical body style. Lows Typical Porsche price, frustrating touch-sensitive interior controls, hybrid braking system needs polish. Verdict The luxury four-door for buyers who really want a Porsche 911 but need more practicality from their daily driver. Overview It has the look and the performance of a Porsche, but the 2021 Panamera has four doors and a roomy trunk, which help make its case as a daily driver. Its practicality doesn't tarnish its sporting character, though. It's nearly as agile and communicative as the brand's sports cars. Porsche offers the Panamera with a plethora of powertrain optio...

The entry-level Tucson is powered by a more conventional 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine shared with the Sonata family sedan but a hybrid and a plug-i...

Lows Drift mode is complicated to activate, thin tire sidewalls magnify hard impacts, the E53 is a lot cheaper.

Likewise, the 2021 M3 Competition further highlights the sports sedan's performance...

http://youtu.be/r65JiFxBPqQ Thanks: ERCAR MOTORS https://www.instagram.com/ercarmotors/ BMW M8 Competition review BMW M's biggest and most expensive coupe has Aston Martin in its sights, but does the M8 pull it off? Instant messaging shorthand will forever render BMW’s performance flagship the BMW ‘Mate’, but its abilities on the road decide whether it will endure as the kind of car that will live on in evo in the years to come. On recent form, that’s in no way guaranteed. M division has made some very capable cars over the last few years, but less frequently have they been the dominant class leaders of yore. It took some massaging for the M3/M4 to become the car it should have been from the start, as revealed in Competition Package form, and the M2 only showed its best side as the M2 C...
