First Drive: 2013 Audi S5 - Automobile Magazine
Bye-bye, burble.

Although the 2013 Audi S5 receives a refresh, it's not very different from the original Audi S5. Why? Walter de'Silva declared the original Audi A5/S5 coupe to be his most beautiful design ever and not much needed changing to keep the car looking good. Come to think of it, there wasn't much about the S5 that needed updating at all. But the auto industry demands updates every few years to keep the buzz going and Audi isn't a brand that rests on its laurels, so we're in southern Spain searching for subtle changes in the 2013 S5.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
This is the most impressive Chrysler product we've driven in years.

Good Lord. This is the most impressive Chrysler product I've driven in years. I spent a lot of time in the previous Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and I really disliked that vehicle. I guess there was only so that could be done to the previous generation of Grand Cherokee. Now that the regular Grand Cherokee is such a refined and luxurious vehicle, the SRT8 model can really shine.
