M cars like the M5 may cement BMW’s performance potential, but they can be a bit extreme for some. That’s where Alpina’s grand-touring-focused offerings come in. And while its latest models, like the XB7, have price tags that back up their luxuries, used ones are decidedly less dear. This week’s Bring a Trailer bargain is …

Unless you’re really into off-roading and towing, wagons are often better than SUVs for those seeking luxury cars. And thanks to depreciation, a premium wagon doesn’t necessarily have to cost a fortune. A great example of this is this week’s Cars and Bids bargain: a 2011 BMW E91 328i Sports Wagon.

Though prized for their luxury status, Porsche’s cars are often more capable than many think—especially outside of a paved racetrack.

But what about the upcoming electric Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo? The Porsche …

While the 2021 IS 350 F Sport isn’t exactly a dud, the Lexus sedan isn’t quite as sporty or exciting as it should be. And one of the reasons is the car’s somewhat-lackluster power-to-weight ratio. However, the 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance promises to address that. And its solution comes courtesy of something …

Russian vehicles rarely register in the US public consciousness, especially Soviet-era classic ones. Some remember the Yugo, and Tom Hanks helped bolster the Fiat 126p’s status. And apart from the Lada Niva and Ural’s motorcycles, that’s about it. As such, you’ve probably never heard of the subject of Doug DeMuro’s latest video: the Volga GAZ-24-10. …

Cars like the GV80 show how dedicated Genesis is to delivering luxurious style at more affordable prices. And not just with its SUVs, but with sedans like the Genesis G80 as well.

Despite its appellation, the CT4-V hasn’t quite been living up to its predecessor, the Cadillac ATS-V. While it has an excellent engine, it’s a bit too heavy and less spacious than some of its rivals. Chief among them is the BMW M3, recently updated for 2021. But now, Cadillac has unveiled the 2022 CT4-V Blackwing. …

The original LS was a genuine industry shift for luxury cars. However, the latest versions of Lexus’s flagship sedan have arguably lost their premium edge and their bargain pricing. But sometimes, buying a used Lexus makes more sense than getting a brand-new one. And as YouTube team Throttle House explains, when it comes to the …

M cars are already fast and sporty BMWs. And if you want one that’s even faster and sharper, the German automaker now offers Competition variants. Like, for example, the BMW M5 Competition, the most powerful road car the company has ever made—up until now. Because that moniker now belongs to the 2022 BMW M5 CS. …

It’s no secret that used luxury cars’ values tend to drop quickly. And German luxury brand Audi’s cars are no exception.

If you’re looking for a reliable used BMW, the E90 3 Series is arguably your best modern bet. Especially the non-turbocharged 325i, 328i, and 330i models, which have the N52 BMW inline-6 engine. However, no car is immune from maintenance or reliability issues, including BMWs. And the same goes for the N52-equipped E90 cars. The …
