2022 BMW 2-Series Active Tourer adopts sportier look with redesign
2022 BMW 2-Series Active Tourer adopts sportier look with redesign
BMW on Wednesday unveiled a redesigned version of its 2-Series Active Tourer compact minivan. The outgoing 2-Series AT was the first BMW to feature front-wheel drive when it arrived in 2014, and it was never sold in the U.S. Still, it proved popular enough to warrant BMW launching a second generation—and we don’t expect this one to reach the U.S., either. The redesigned 2-Series AT is similar in…

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Long Wheelbase spy shots and video: Stretched SUV takes shape
Land Rover is working on a redesign for its Range Rover and the latest spy shots show a prototype for the long-wheelbase variant.

Porsche imagines a modern 968 with art car project
Porsche imagines a modern 968 with art car project
Porsche’s 968 represents the final evolution of the German automaker’s entry-level sports car line before it switched from a front- to mid-engine format with the arrival of the original Boxster in 1996. The 968 is often overshadowed by the more widely recognized 944, a car with which it shares many parts, probably because its styling was more representative of the 1980s-era and was starting to…
