The New Lexus ES Has Hybrid and Electric Power

Although the outgoing ES received two facelifts, it couldn’t hide the fact that it was getting long in the tooth.

Buick's New Minivan Is a Love Letter to China

For decades, stretched sedans were the default luxury car in China. However, posh minivans have been gaining traction, prompting even Volvo to launch the EM90, and Lexus the LM. While these fancy family haulers have only been around for a short while, Buick has been selling the GL8 for a…
