We are in the throes of 2015 models arriving at our dealerships, and one model we especially appreciate is the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Showroom and Tell: The 2015 Acura TLX
Since it just reached dealerships here in North Carolina within the past week, there is no better vehicle to highlight for Showroom and Tell than the 2015 Acura TLX.

Zero to Sixty: Jaguar’s Gorgeous Missing Six E-Types
Why are cars dramatic? Somewhere at the world’s beginning cavemen chipped these words into stone: “Car videos need drums. And strings. And brass horns. And anthemic vocals. And repeated reminders that Nothing Will Ever Be The Same.” Although cavemen at that time didn’t even know what “videos” or “cars” were, they were wise beyond their…
