Description

Kia prefers you not call the 2015 Sedona a minivan. But as the saying goes, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck . . .
Note to Kia: the term minivan is not a dirty word, but relates to a specific conveyance that maximizes interior volume, yet does so in a reasonably efficient manner. However, the Korea-based automaker insists that the Sedona is a “multi-purpose vehicle” that possesses …

Description

To be considered for the luxury-car big leagues requires proficiency at more than one discipline. That seems to be where Cadillac is headed with the new 2015 ATS Coupe.
As a companion to the sedan, this new Caddy that arrives this summer hits the high notes for style, opulence and, most importantly, performance. It might not have the same flamboyant shape as the larger CTS coupe, but when you’re gunning for the likes of BMW’s 4 Series, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A5 coupes, it’s probably a good idea to come across a bit more conservative in the design department.

Description

The BMW X4 might not represent everything for everyone, but as a compromise between a hatchback and a wagon it delivers more space and all-weather functionality than you might think.

BMW’s expansion plans are moving just as rapidly as those of its Audi and Mercedes-Benz rivals, with new models entering the pipeline on a seemingly monthly basis. The recently available 2015 X4 hatchback is part of that rapid growth.
