Two days ago, Ford announced the all-new 2016 Focus RS, which has more than 315hp from the 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, mated to an AWD system.

This effectively puts the Focus RS into the competition with other hot hatches in the market, such as the Subaru WRX STI and also the Volkswagen Golf R. The current 2015 WRX STI is in the sedan form, but we can safely bet the hatchback version is coming very soon, therefore we include it into our discussion here.

Whenever I see a new compact CUV model, I ask myself this question: what is this new model’s purpose? What problem does it solve?

For the Lincoln MKC, from my point of view the most important factor for people who buy it instead of a similar size sedan is simply the look of the SUV shape.

2016 BMW X5M & X6M:  Is Fast An Understatement?

Have you ever wished that an SUV would handle like a sports car? The completely redesigned 2016 X5M and X6M turns that dream into reality.

According to BMW’s test report, they tested the X6M on the famous Nürburgring. The time that it takes the X6M to finish one lap, is the SAME time as the last-generation E92 M3 coupe! This is a really remarkable achievement.

We get a chance to view the new X5M and X6M in person today during the BMW debut event in LA auto show, and we will show you the exclusive photos of the X6M’s engine bay.

The X5M/X6M also have very nice interiors, most of the panels are wrapped in stitched leat...
