The XT5 outclasses the old SRX in every way, from sheetmetal to power and smoothness, interior feel and handling. The body and styling look like a stylized drawing of what a futuristic SUV would look like. It’s a lot of lights, a lot of grille and a lot of chrome. I don’t like the black cladding around the bottom, and from the pictures I’m looking at online, it might be standard. The shape is cool, and I might be crazy but I’d like to see a smaller, XT3, near-hot hatch. Throw in GM’s turbo four and call it a day. Inside, it smells of leather-bound books and American luxury. This one is mostly swathed in mid beige, with both leather and suede. I feel like it might look better in one or the other, but I’m thinking Cadillac probably tried that and it may have looked like too much. The CUE system still isn’t my favorite, but this one seemed to have more real buttons than the last, with switches for the climate control. The door armrests are hard, which bothered my bony elbows, but the central one is nice and soft, with leather covering. There’s a good amount of room in the backseat and behind it, as well. And the seats fold down for more utility. The V6 didn’t feel as strong as I expected. I thought it was relatively smooth, as was the eight-speed trans, and when you put it to the floor, the XT5 does get up and go, but I would have guessed it was a turbo four. The brakes have a short stroke and a good amount of feel. The cabin is quiet. I’m not sure if the carpet-like suede helps, but it seemed insulated from the road. I didn’t crash through any huge potholes, but most normal jostles didn’t really penetrate the cabin. I left my iPhone cord at the office and just played my podcasts through the phone speaker and could hear it fine, which is one of my tests for cabin quietness. So, it’s a proper luxury vehicle all around. But it doesn’t feel that cool. I can’t really say why. The ATS, the CTS, even the Escalade feel like cool cars. I wouldn’t go around telling everyone the XT5 in the parking lot was mine. But I suppose I wouldn’t do that with the Mercedes GLE, either.

Lexus is set to show off a brand-new SUV/CUV at the Paris motor show next month. We don't have much info, but as it's called the UX and is "meant to appeal to a progressive, urban audience living in a connected environment," we're guessing it'll be a little smaller than the current NX. Lexus says the UX was created at its European Design Center and will showcase new technologies creating an "immersive driving experience." We're hoping it comes with augmented reality like "Pokemon Go." We're kidding; that'd be lame. The new UX will sit alongside a refreshed IS sedan and the new NX Sport Edition, as well as the stunning LC coupe. So in a few weeks, check out our Paris auto show section, where we'll have all of the reveals, live photography and analysis.

The Nissan Rogue will get a new hybrid model for 2017, along with a mildly refreshed exterior and a motion-activated tailgate. The refresh comes only three years after the Rogue's second-generation debut in 2014, but brings new front and rear fascias to the Nissan SUV. The redesigned front fascia sports a new grille, headlights and LED daytime running lights. The new rear fascia gets a similar lighting treatment and LED boomerang-shaped taillights. The tailgate uses a kick sensor to allow for hands-free operation, but isn’t standard equipment. The hybrid Rogue boasts an estimated 35 mpg highway from its 2.0-liter I4 and electric motor powertrain. Manage the 2.0-liter’s 141 hp and 144 lb-ft of torque is a CVT. Sandwiched between the engine and transmission, by way of a pair of clutches, is a 40-hp electric motor that can produce 118 lb-ft of twist. Powering the non-hybrid Rogue in AWD or RWD trims is a 2.5-liter I4 making 170 hp at 6,000 rpm and 175 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. The Rogue is also getting some new safety optional safety tech: active cruise control, emergency braking, lane departure prevention and warnings. Of course, those options will only be found on the up-trim Rogue SL. Rogue SV buyers will now be able to add blind-spot warnings and rear cross traffic alerts to the build sheet. The new Rogue will make its global debut at this weekend’s Miami auto show.

Low-slung hybrid gets updates all around, but still uses old powertrain Second chances are rare in the automotive world. But thanks to the deep, privately owned pockets of the Chinese company Wanxiang, the voluptuous Fisker Karma gets another shot at success. The 5-year-old sedan has been reborn into the new Karma Revero. One look at the photos and it's clear: As pretty as the Revero may be, this is the same car that once wore a Fisker badge on its nose. However, as we learned at a launch event in Huntington Beach, California, Karma Automotive has made some important upgrades to the sedan that should make the $130,000 Revero a far more reliable and enjoyable ride. The Fisker rushed the original Karma into production too quickly. The car’s complicated powertrain needed another round of development, according to Carl Jenkins, senior vice president and vehicle line executive of Karma Automotive. He says engineering team simply didn’t have a powerful enough voice within the company. The integration of the car’s suppliers was poorly managed, too. The result (in addition to bankruptcy) was a healthy list of ailments, including the Karma’s heart—its battery pack. Jenkins says it has targeted those trouble spots. The team ran three cars for 100,000 miles to test for problems. And that resulted in Karma replacing the entire electrical system right down to the key fobs and backup cameras. The team used a special car in their lab stripped of bodywork specifically to hunt down electrical gremlins. Jenkins’ own Fisker test car overheated on a mountain pass outside Los Angeles. So he personally oversaw improvements in thermal management that included better airflow through the grille and a redesigned front fascia, as well as new software.

If the Flying Spur W12 seemed up your alley in looks, but just wasn’t quite fast enough, you’re in luck. Bentley is tacking an “S” onto the badge of its Flying Spur W12. That extra letter brings with it a 626-hp W12. That means the latest addition to the Flying Spur family can go from a standing start to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, and is the first four-door Bentley to crest 200 mph. Not bad, considering the curb weight is nearly 3 tons. Those kinds of numbers are possible because the W12 under this Bentley’s hood makes an impressive 605 lb-ft of torque at only 2,000 rpm. To better deal with high-speed performance, Bentley switched around the suspension to make the car more agile than standard but keep the cushy ride you expect from a high-end luxury car. Helping to slow things down, Bentley will offer optional carbon-ceramic brakes. Of course, performance figures and parts are second only to this Bentley interior accoutrement. Climbing inside the cabin, you’ll find leather covering the majority of the surfaces. What isn’t covered in cowhide will either be wood, engine-turned metals, chrome or carbon fiber. Bentley plans to start deliveries later this year for the Flying Spur W12 S. As far as price, well it’s tough to say -- we imagine these will start north of the regular W12 Flying Spur’s price (around $225,000) but can get as expensive as your pockets will allow.

Earlier this year, Porsche took its 2017 Panamera to the Nurburgring on the hunt for the fastest lap from a four-door sedan around the legendary track. Porsche succeeded and bested the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio's then-record-setting lap by a whole second. Well, Alfa returned to the 'Ring with its 505-hp twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 powered sedan -- only now sporting an automatic transmission. The auto-equipped Giulia, with Fabio Francia behind the wheel, crushed the standing Porsche record. The eight-speed-equipped Giulia ran the Nurburgring 6 seconds faster than the Panamera. That makes the new four-door sedan record lap for the Nordschleife circuit a staggering 7 minutes and 32 seconds. Not bad for a car that could double as your daily driver. Of course, Porsche will likely throw the upcoming Porsche Panamera Turbo S into Green Hell to reclaim the record. Which is likely happen before we can actually buy Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio stateside.

Custom silicon vendor Movidius has attracted a lot of attention for its high-performance, low-power chips that have powered vision applications like Google Tango, as well as making machine learning possible on mobile devices. Now it has received the ultimate compliment. Chip giant Intel has acquired it to help accelerate its RealSense project and other efforts to provide computer vision and deep learning solutions. Intel is expecting to see Movidius technology deployed in drones, robots, and VR headsets — in addition to more traditional mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. The Movidius advantage Intel announces Movidius acquisitionPower requirements are the traditional Achilles heel of mobile solutions that require substantial computation, with vision and machine learning being two of the most extreme cases. By creating optimized, custom silicon — its Myriad chip family — Movidius has reduced the power needed to run machine learning and vision libraries by well over an order of magnitude compared to a more-general-purpose GPU.

Facebook on Wednesday began testing a Messenger app virtual assistant that the leading social network said goes beyond artificial intelligence programs already on the market. The personal digital assistant—dubbed "M"—completes tasks along with seeking out information at the behest of users. "Unlike other AI-based services in the market, M can actually complete tasks on your behalf," Facebook's David Marcus said in an online post. "It can purchase items, get gifts delivered to your loved ones, book restaurants, travel arrangements, appointments and way more." Marcus described the test as an early step in a journey toward building a large-scale service using the virtual assistant software. Word of "M" came just two days after Microsoft made its Cortana virtual assistant software available to users of Android mobile devices. Cortana is Microsoft's answer to Apple's Siri and Google Now, which respond to voice commands on mobile devices. The launch is part of an effort by Microsoft to expand its mobile presence despite a weak showing for its Windows Phone devices. "The Cortana app can do most of the things Cortana does on your PC or on a Windows phone," Microsoft's Susan Hendrich said in a blog post. "With the app, you can manage your hectic lifestyle by setting and getting reminders, searching the web on-the-go, tracking important information such as flight details, as well as starting and completing tasks across all of your devices." A beta version of Cortana was made available on Monday to US users of Android devices, and "we are planning to roll it out to other markets," Hendrich said.

Almost on cue, after Ford announced its free driving school for Focus RS buyers someone drifted a Nitrous Blue Focus RS into the side of a mountain. The video comes as no surprise but it is the perfect thing to show your marginally talented friend, relative or neighbor when they show up with a new Focus RS and start talking about doing gymkhana videos. At about the :40 mark, the driver appears to be showing off the hot hatch's drift mode to his then fellow Focus ST of New York car club members. Instead of showing the car's capabilities, the driver shows off his lack of car control and bounces the car off the mountain. The Focus RS takes the hit pretty well, but it was a harsh enough impact to deploy the side airbags. Reportedly the driver of the Focus RS was kicked out of the club immediately after the accident.

When Wren told me this engine felt “right” in this car, I was a little skeptical, but after a night in and out of this convertible, I’d have to say he’s right. Sure, would I rather have the SS’ V8? Of course, would I kick this V6 outta bed for eating crackers? Not a chance. The startup burble is surprisingly sharp, and up in the higher rev ranges it sounds good, too. I remember when this engine first debuted in this car, I thought it was a little too restrained, both in sound and performance. But chop a few hundred pounds out, add a louder exhaust setup and bam! This car is cool to be seen and heard in. This Camaro Six has nice strong brakes with a short stroke, but the gas pedal is a little too easy for my taste. I’ve said it before, but I want to feel like I’m doing something with my right foot. The clutch pedal might be a bit too easy as well, and the catch point is high in the stroke, which takes some getting used to. Like Andy said in his SS review, rear visibility is barely affected, and I’ll take the high beltline and good looks over a low one and better rear vision. The interior is muscle-car stuff, which is to say, acceptable. I do love the temp and fan controls on the big central vents. And overall the cabin looks clean. But it doesn’t feel upscale at all.

Mazda builds a sprightly entry for a red-hot market Mazda's CX-3 is the brand's entry in the super-po[CENSORED]r subcompact CUV class -- basically crossovers that are as small as manufacturers can make them before they become simply hatchbacks wearing bumpy tires. There's only one engine and one transmission in the CX-3: a 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic sending 145 horses to all four wheels in this AWD version. A front-wheel-drive model is also available. The CX-3 channels its "zoom-zoom" siblings well on the road; the steering is agile if a little numb, but the chassis is very stiff without translating into a harsh ride. Do expect some interior engine and road noise, though -- a common feature of Mazdas. With 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in lower-profile (not quite low-profile) tires, the CX-3 exhibits excellent road manners and a taut, controlled ride that's domesticated enough for everyday use by all members of the family. There are other vehicles in Mazda's stable to offer thrills, but the CX-3 does a good impression of the excellent CX-5 -- one of the best small crossovers out there.
