Photo: Lady Gaga/Twitter Lady Gaga’s long-awaited Chromatica Ball concert film drops on Max tomorrow, and the pop icon held a special fan screening of the movie in Los Angeles last night — I guess my invite got lost in the mail. In typical Gaga fashion she wore an outlandish outfit on the red carpet, this … Read more
Photo: Daniel Golson/Jalopnik My wife and I have a 2022 E350 with a number of the old bells and whistles as part of a lease for her job. We do enjoy the car, though we’re looking at the BMW 5-series for the next go-around (can only choose between E-class and 5-series with said lease). First, … Read more
From engineering to design, the eternal debate in the automotive industry is whether evolution or revolution is better when it comes to developing a new model. It’s an even more strenuous place to be as a luxury brand. We’ve seen revolution pay off for BMW and Lexus and flop with Acura, while evolution has been … Read more
I’m not much of an audiophile. Don’t get me wrong, I’m constantly listening to music and love going to live shows, and I’m always excited by a fancy sound system in a car. But in my personal life, I’m fine to just stick with my Apple headphones and my big TV’s built-in speakers for movies … Read more
The Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe got a redesign for 2024, and we’re big fans of the way it looks. When it was revealed, though, we only got to see the V8-powered GT55 and GT63 versions.

For the next five days, I’m in possession of a 2024 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic, the tenth generation of E-Class (but the sixth generation to actually use the E-Class moniker). The W214 E-Class is just now starting to hit U.S. dealerships, though I won’t be able to talk driving impressions until March 28th. Until then, I … Read more
I will fully admit that I’ve never paid too much favor to Mercedes-Benz. I’ve always been more of a fan of the company’s cross-town rival Porsche, and even BMW has delivered more dynamically impressive and, um, stylistically interesting cars in the recent past. But the new Mercedes-AMG E53 might be the car that turns me … Read more
Another day, another piece of wagon-shaped forbidden fruit. BMW’s newest debut is the 5 Series Touring, the longroof version of the eighth-generation midsize sedan. Beyond our general penchant for wagons, what makes this latest 5 Series Touring even more enticing are its lineup of powertrains, which includes a fully electric model for the first time. … Read more
While Mercedes-Benz has announced plans to go EV-only where markets allow by 2030, with a growing lineup of electric vehicles already on sale, it isn’t giving up on internal combustion engines just yet – especially when it comes to the AMG performance division, which is using electrification to extract massive power from gas motors. The … Read more
Mercedes-Benz has been thinning its U.S. herd over the past couple years, discontinuing slow-selling cars like the A-Class sedan and consolidating other models that cannibalize each other. One of the most recent examples is the new CLE coupe, which was unveiled earlier this year. The CLE slots in between the old C-Class and E-Class coupes … Read more
