European automakers keep making impressive statements

Here are the top 5 news, car reviews, and features that caught your attention this week…

The world premiere of the new, third-generation 2019 Porsche Cayenne took place just days ago in Germany. Here we have a lighter (up to 65 kg thanks to an all-aluminum body), longer and wider Cayenne that offers improved handling, power and efficiency for a driving experience that’s closer to that of the iconic 911 sports car.

Having caused quite a buzz at the 2017 North American International Auto Show in Detroit at the very beginning of the year, the new second-generation 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is now available at Canadian VW dealerships. It’s also winning over the first wave of buyers―the most common verdict being that it’s now better adapted to meet their needs. In the market for a compact SUV? Check out our list of 10 good reasons to buy a 2018 Tiguan.

Our contributor Denis Duquet sat behind the wheel of the new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan and went on a road trip across Maine, giving him a perfect opportunity to get a sense of its performance as well as of its fuel consumption. Make sure to read his story.

Many readers were intrigued by the images of the new Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet concept and the teaser for the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet. You can’t miss these breathtaking convertibles from the Silver Star.

And finally, with August winding down and Labour Day looming, we took the occasion to review the best new models that hit the market this summer. We can say that 2017 has, to say the least, been a big year in the domain!
