For decades, the flagship sedan conversation started and ended with a simple assumption. Buy new, buy German, and depreciation is just the cost of prestige. That math is getting harder to defend. A new Mercedes S-Class now opens around $120,000 before options, while a clean, low-mileage Lexus LS 460 from the car’s best years can be bought for the price of a well-equipped Camry. For buyers who care more about the drive than the delivery ceremony, that gap is impossible to ignore, and it’s reshaping who actually cross-shops these two cars. The Used-Flagship Stigma Is Dead — And The LS…

Interior noise levels are impressively low, even by EV standards. On the larger wheels, cabin noise remained well suppressed across a variety of road surfaces, while high-speed driving on the German autobahn produced little noticeable wind noise. The side view cameras may help with that, but using them does take some getting used to; they simply aren’t as natural to use as regular mirrors.  Advertisement – Article continues belowThrough bends, the CX-6e feels relatively light on its feet, but the suspension often seems busy, and it could do with some better damping to smooth things out.

The Honda Civic Type R has long been the car that other front-wheel-drive performance machines are measured against. Its turbocharged engine, standard manual gearbox, and track-tuned chassis are wrapped in a body that still moonlights as a practical daily driver — a combination that has kept it at the top of the hot-hatch conversation for years. Whether you’re threading it along a mountain road or hauling groceries, the Type R makes a compelling case that you don’t have to choose between fun and function.
