2016 Bentley Bentayga Review : First Drive
Yes, this is a Bentley SUV and you’d better get used to it, because it will undoubtedly become the best-selling model in the British brand’s proud history.
The Bentley Bentayga is the world’s most expensive SUV, with its Australian price starting from about $420,000 for the initial version of the car equipped with an all-new W12 twin-turbo engine.
Before we get into it, we must address the elephant in the room. The Bentley Bentayga may not be what many would call pretty, but it’s certainly very striking in the flesh, possessing a lot of presence – particularly from the front. The rear is more conservative, but it all works together as a package.
Furthermore, Bentley making an SUV is merely a sign of the times. When Porsche came out with the first Cayenne SUV back in 2002, many said it was the end for the German performance brand, having given over its sporting soul to making SUVs. Fast forward to today and SUVs account for nearly two thirds of all things from Porsche, but it hasn’t had any negative effect on purist models like the 911 or the Boxster. In fact, it’s the income from SUVs that has allowed Porsche to make cars such as the 911.
The case with the Bentley Bentayga is a little different, as the company claims to not need the money to fund its other models, and that it has instead made an SUV due to enormous customer demand. It makes sense, as large super-luxury sedans are becoming a tad old-school – so why not make super-luxury SUVs?

2017 Hyundai Elantra FIRST DRIVE REVIEW
MotoMan drives the all new 2017 Hyundai Elantra which we learned in the TECH REVIEW has a lot of new safety tech and an Atkinson Cycle 4 cylinder engine – but most importantly, a completely revised rear suspension – the weak point of the previous generation Hyundai Elantra. Out in the back country roads of San Diego County, MotoMan pushes the C Segment Hyundai Elantra to determine if the changes in the rear suspension change the car . . . and along the way, he attempts his famous Apple CarPlay to Android Auto hot swap trick . . .

2016 Buick Cascada TURBO Convertible FIRST DRIVE REVIEW - Video
The first production open-top model wearing the trishield logo since the 1990 Reatta 
Convertible, the all-new 2016 Buick Cascada, 
has just been unveiled at the North American International Auto Show. 
Europeans and Australians may feel like they are having a deja-vu while looking at the new model, but that is completely understandable since the Cascada has already been selling under the Opel 
, Vauxhall and Holden badges since 2013. Even though the new convertible was unveiled in January 2015 for U.S. consumption, the production variant will take some time to reach showrooms, with Buick announcing that it will actually go on sale in early 2016, or the same year that its European counterpart may be heading toward a mid-cycle facelift.

Nevertheless, the simple fact that Buick is finally getting a cabriolet model in its lineup again may actually lift some spirits. "The new, 2016 Buick Cascada is a beautiful, engaging convertible that represents the very best of the brand’s global development practices," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. "It’s a car that will delight customers with its fun spirit and help drive the momentum that’s fueling Buick’s success." Despite being almost as long as the Buick Regal /Opel Insignia, the all-new Cascada is actually based on GM’s Delta II platform, which is shared with the Buick Verano/ Opel Astra/ Chevrolet Cruze.

Still, the car offers a 2+2 seating arrangement that should prove satisfactory for four adults, especially if they are on the smaller side. Its electro-hydraulic soft-top can be retracted in just 17 seconds and at speeds up to 31 mph, making for a rather classy way of exposing its interior to the sun, while the only engine available so far is a turbocharged, 1.6-liter, four-cylinder that develops 200 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque.
Updated 09/23/2015: Buick announced that the all-new Cascada will be put on sale at a starting price of $33,990. According to the company the 2016 Cascada is $3,535 cheaper and offers more standard features compared to German cars like the Audi A3 Convertible.
