The Lexus GX is a bit of an anomaly in the luxury SUV world. It’s one of the few body-on-frame hold-outs, but is not a full-size offering like the Cadillac Escalade, Infiniti QX80, or even Lexus’ own LX. Based on a platform shared by the Toyota 4Runner, the GX continues to use the older 4.6-liter V8. It may make less power than many modern V6 engines, but it does feature an abundance of low-end torque. 

The Acura Integra nameplate returned and like the original. it’s once again based on a Honda Civic platform. The regular Integra uses a 200 hp turbocharged 1.5-liter four cylinder. It pairs to either a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT. 

It’s going to be a while before AutoGuide can pit the 2022 Acura MDX against the competition. Before that, I can tell you it certainly offers more sure-footed grip than one alternative: my own two legs.

Remember those spot-the-difference images on the backs of cereal boxes? Acura does.

Back in the early aughts Acura put Type S branding on several of its cars, which I remember well because for a short period of time, I sold them.

Alfa Romeo Giulia

If you’re looking for a driver-centric SUV, here are two of the best.

Joining the hot luxury compact SUV segment is the new Alfa Romeo Tonale. Designed as a sportier offering, the Tonale looks to battle the likes of the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Volvo XC40.

The Aston Martin DB11 is a super grand touring car. Available as a coupe or convertible, there isn’t much on the market today that looks as good as the DB11. Power comes from a choice of turbocharged engines, a 4.0-liter V8, or a 5.2-liter V12. 

No luxury automobile manufacturer can resist the allure and potential profits of offering a SUV. Aston Martin is no different. The DBX is a mid-size utility vehicle that focuses on performance as any good vehicle from the British manufacturer should. 

The Aston Martin Vantage is a high-end super sports car that can be had with a V8 or V12 engine, both turbocharged. But the choices don’t stop there. It can also be had as either a coupe or a convertible. Which version is the better looking option is a tough call. 

So you know you want an Audi sedan but you’re unsure whether the subcompact Audi A3 or compact Audi A4 is more appropriate for your lifestyle? You’ve found the right post!

The compact luxury sedan segment is packed full of great vehicles that combine enjoyable driving dynamics, premium interior technology, and reasonably low pricing.

Audi’s compact SUV is a popular choice in the segment. With contemporary good looks, the Q5 meets the needs of plenty of consumers looking for a small luxury SUV. Regular Q5 models have a choice of turbocharged four-cylinder engines – one with a plug-in hybrid and one without. 

Big, luxurious, fast, and comfortable. That sums up the Bentley Continental GT coupe and GTC convertible. Of course, having everything in a stylish two door doesn’t come cheap, but that’s the point of a Bentley. 

The Flying Spur is Bentley’s large, luxurious sedan that is also tremendously quick. Available with the finest materials and technology, the car reveals in excess. 

The BMW 2 Series Coupe is a bit unusual in the luxury car world. It does not have many direct competitors as most other manufacturers do not offer a two-door in this class. The 2 Series can be had with a turbocharged four-cylinder or a turbocharged six-cylinder engine. 

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is different than the regular 2 Series Coupe. For starters, the Gran Coupe is a front-wheel drive-based sedan compared the rear-wheel drive 2 Series Coupe. Power for this car comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that makes between 228 to 301 hp depending on trim level. 

For decades the BMW 3 Series has been the standard of the compact luxury sedan world. With the latest model, this still appears to the case. The performance, comfort, luxury, and enjoyment is unmatched by most competitors. 

Not happy enough with the 4 series coupe and convertible, or the 3 series sedan, BMW has created a third compact car. Called the 4 Series Gran Coupe, it’s a more stylish sedan that trades a bit of practicality for a swoopier shape. Like its siblings, the Gran Coupe is offered with a choice of turbocharged four and six cylinder engines.  

Learned veteran versus dramatic upstart. It’s a tale as old as time.

Large luxury cars may not be as popular as they once were, but there’s still a certain prestige that only cars like the BMW 7 Series can bring. A sedan that’s designed more for the rear seat passengers than the driver, the 7 Series is the very definition of opulence and comfort. 

BMW’s large coupe and convertible continue on for another year. With a choice of turbocharged six and eight cylinder engines, the 8 Series is plenty quick. Despite it’s large size, rear-seat space is still a bit tight, but adults can fit back for shorter trips. Like most BMWs, this coupe and convertible come with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. 

The 8 Series Gran Coupe is BMW’s most stylish sedan. Sleeker than the 7 Series, the 8 Series Gran Coupe trades in a bit of passenger space for presence and looks. The large four-door comes with a choice of turbocharged engines, making between 335 and 612 hp. 

BMW is in a full electrified onslaught that includes the brand’s largest sedan, the 7-Series. The i7 offers all the luxury of the regular 7 Series, but in a unique, all-electric package. Initially, it was available with a dual motor set-up making 536 hp. Now joining the lineup is a rear-wheel drive version called the eDrive50. 

If you’re going to be stuck in a torrential downpour, few cars are better to be in than the 2023 BMW iX M60.
