Now that Volvo is owned by Geely, the Swedish automaker has some big plans for its near future.

Sold in the U.S. as the Jetta SportWagen, Volkswagen is working on a high-performance version of its Golf R Variant.

It may not be heading to the U.S., but the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake is one hot hatchback.

Audi’s refreshed A6 has been caught frolicking in the snow. This face-lifted middle-market offering from the German luxury automaker is on display in its Allroad body style, which is not offered in the United States.

Spy photographers have managed to snap some photos of the all-new 2015 Subaru Outback as it undergoes testing in Europe. The crossover-ish sort of station wagon has been on the market since 2009 and is overdue for a redesign.

Midsize sedans represent a massive slice of the automotive pie. These four-door cars almost single handedly (or wheely?) form the backbone of America’s personal transportation network, shuttling people practically everywhere they need and want to go. Yeah, they’re kind of a big deal, and as a salute to these hard-working automobiles they’re the subject of this week’s installment of Ask AutoGuide.

Time stands still for no one, especially automakers. Today’s hot new vehicle is tomorrow’s also-ran product. Constant updates, tweaks and changes are mandatory in the car business. To keep up with ever-tougher competition Audi is giving its A6 range a facelift as our spy photographers have found.

The next-generation Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG wagon has been spied testing, a model that could make its debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

With the launch of the latest generation A3 Audi made it clear that only the sedan version would be headed to North America. Now it turns out that might not be entirely true.

Can wagons be sexy? Volvo certainly thinks so, debuting its Concept Estate at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

Jaguar is displaying its hooligan-certified XFR-S Sportbrake here at the Geneva Motor Show.

Every vehicle seems to get bigger with each generation; it’s really news if something is lighter or more compact than its predecessor. Of course not even is MINI immune to this diabetic swelling; you could say it’s because they’re so sweet to drive. The company’s latest Hardtop is a good bit larger than its forebear. But the vehicle I’m standing next to takes the cake, and eats it all in one sitting.

This beautiful vehicle is the Volvo Concept Estate and it just made its global debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. It may simply be a design study but what exactly is it? Is it a station wagon, a hatchback or a shooting brake? Volvo calls it a three-door sports wagon but we call it beautiful.

Photos of the Volvo Concept Estate have leaked ahead of the vehicle’s official debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

Jaguar just revealed the R-Sport trim for its XF sedan before its official debut at next week’s Geneva Motor Show.

Jaguar won’t be attending the Geneva Motor Show empty handed this year. Instead, it plans to debut the XFR-S Sportbrake.

The Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake has leaked, and it’s one hot wagon that won’t be making its way to North America anytime soon.

Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus have leaked ahead of the vehicle’s official debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

For those that may have missed the first installment, “Second Opinion” is a new AutoGuide.com feature where we give my wife a vehicle to evaluate. With an avid interest in cars from a wholly practical standpoint, Amanda is the perfect antitheses to our mostly enthusiast-biased staff.

Love is in the air; either that or exhaust fumes mixed with a whiff of burnt transmission fluid. Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day and people around the world are hugging, kissing and handing out heart-shaped boxes of chocolate. But how boring is that? This holiday is a bigger cliché than every Disney princess movie combined and raised to the power of a Jared jewelry commercial.

Volvo isn’t typically known for building sports cars, but that image is changing quickly with the aid of Polestar Performance,.

Luxury automakers like to mess with us. That is the only conclusion we can come up with when looking at various manufacturer’s vehicle nomenclature.

The 2015 Volvo V60 and S60 models get an EPA estimated 25 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway.

Wagons aren’t popular in North America, but that doesn’t seem to matter to General Motors’ product chief who wants to see one in the automaker’s lineup.

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV won’t arrive in the U.S. until 2015, but it already has sales traction in Japan and the Japanese automaker brought a custom version to the Tokyo Auto Salon.

Just like it did at last year’s SEMA Show, Mazda chose to keep its 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon display cars mild rather than running wild.

Subaru just revealed a handful of modified Levorg concepts including an STI variant at the Tokyo Auto Salon Following the concept wagon’s debut during the Tokyo Motor Show last November.

Volvo has announced that its V60 wagon model will be priced from $36,215 when it arrives the U.S. early next year.

Just because a car is cheap doesn’t mean it’s a good value. Taking into account the five-year owner cost of a vehicle which factors in depreciation, fuel, insurance premiums, interest on financing, sales tax and cost for maintenance and repairs, a better picture is painted on whether or not a vehicle is a good bang for your buck. 

In the market for a cheap, affordable vehicle that won’t cause you headaches after a few years of ownership? AutoGuide has compiled a Top 10 list of the most reliable vehicles on today’s market under $25,000 based on data from Consumer Reports‘ 2013 Annual Auto Survey.

Volvo has revealed that its next-generation XC90, which will launch as a 2015 model year, will be offered with a plug-in hybrid variant.
