Frankfurt 2013: Lexus LF-NX Crossover Hybrid Concept
After recently teasing the LF-NX prior to its debut, Lexus has officially unveiled the crossover hybrid concept.
Driven: 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Coupe
The Range Rover Evoque arrives on the scene just as beholden to the less-than-ideal real world as its premium CUV competitors, then, but also with much more of a mandate to (self-imposed, to a large extent) to have go-anywhere ability. This is, after all, a Land Rover. The British company may have just a precious few total models spread out over its roughly 60-year history, but none, as yet, has been anything less than a bulldog off-road. That’s an imposing history for a crossover to live up to, let alone one as sleek and (sometimes) two-doored as the slinky Evoque Coupe.
Driven: 2011 Audi A8
Audi is on a roll, particularly in the luxury segment, as it begins the second half of what the company calls a 10-year plan for the brand. The next phase begins here, with the flagship Audi A8, soon to be followed by the new A7 and A6. Attention to detail is definitely part of the plan for continued success, with Audi adding more technology, more safety, more comfort, and more styling to its lineup. Surely, though, Audi is also improving the fundamentals of its vehicles, and continuing to perfect some of the core building blocks that make their cars good to drive and competitive in the marketplace. If the new Audi A8 is any indication, the brand is forging ahead on the right track.

Our spy photographer sent us two series of spy shots, which we have combined here into one gallery. They feature the Mercedes-Benz CLS AMG on both public roads and on the Nürburgring, this time wearing much less in the way of camouflage.
