Reviews SummaryFor 2017, Audi continues the design, engineering, and technological shift ushered in by last year’s all-new TT sports car. This year, the A4 sedan, the Q7 SUV, and the R8 supercar receive complete redesigns, with the A5 coupe arriving soon. To date, though, it's the best-selling A4 model that clearly lights the path to Audi’s future, and while the illumination cast by the popular sedan is bright, there are a handful dark patches for the company to address. | |
Reviews SummaryAs the dissonant chords of Dieselgate still resonate throughout the industry, most car companies have abandoned efforts toward any future diesel-powered cars. A $15 billion fine will have that sort of chilling effect. But Chevrolet has taken a different approach, instead seeing the mass retreat from diesel as an opportunity to fill a void. As the driver Jean-Pierre Sarti said in Frankenheimer’s 1966 epic “Grand Prix”: “When I see something really horrible, I put my foot down. Hard! Because I know that everyone else is lifting his.” | |
