…and that seems like a really good thing. Perhaps not the best thing for “purists”, or for the stereotypical Porsche owner, but this product really exemplifies modern Porsche in its efforts to offer ever-more efficient high-performance technology.

2017 Cadillac XT5 Arrives, Bids Adieu to SRX
Cadillac introduces its new Luxury Crossover: the XT5. Premiering in Dubai and LA, this is the first of Cadillac’s portfolio to bear the XT prefix–not to be confused with the XTS–designating it as a Crossover Touring vehicle and continuing the new, alphanumeric, global nomenclature.

Tesla Motors Unveils the D and Autopilot

2nd Gen Volvo XC90 to Debut T8 Hybrid Twin Engine
Volvo’s 2015 XC90 gets T8 “Twin Engine” hybrid technology. The original XC90 was introduced in 2002 and was perhaps the world’s most handsome SUV.
