At the 1990 Chicago Auto Show, visitors were greeted by the future of American luxury cars: The Cadillac Aurora concept. This rounded sedan would prove a surprisingly accurate stab at the cars of tomorrow, exhibiting many features that'd be found on Cadillacs to come. But it's been 34 years since then, and General Motors has no more use for the landmark sedan—which it has sent off to its almost certain destruction.
Force Motors recently launched the new Gurkha 5-door and the updated Gurkha 3-door.

After taking the wraps off the third-generation Panamera globally back in late 2023, Porsche has now launched it in India with prices starting from Rs 1.69 crore (ex-showroom). There are a host of changes inside-out, and while we don’t get the goodness of the V8, the twin-turbo V6 that is on offer sounds plenty exciting. Let’s take a look at what’s what:
The sixth-gen 4Runner has officially arrived after 15 years, and Toyota has done its homework to tickle the hearts and minds of fans who have been clamoring for a modern-day update to the automaker’s much-loved family SUV. It starts with the TNGA-F platform shared with the Tacoma, Land Cruiser, Tundra, and Sequoia.
