2011 BMW 740i
2011 BMW 740i - Editor's Notebook - Automobile Magazine
A good argument for a badge-delete option.

Like all 7-series sedans, this car coddles both driver and passengers with all manner of luxury amenities. That this car is powered by a turbocharged in-line six rather than a V-8 is not an issue, because the 740i never feels as though it is lacking for power (at least the way I used it, as around-town transport and a freeway commuter). If there's such as thing as a bargain when you're talking about ultra-luxury sedans, the six-cylinder 740i could be it.

2012 Range Rover Evoque - First Look - Automobile Magazine
Evoking a more stylish future

Much has changed since Land Rover unwrapped the LRX show car in 2008. Markets have shifted, fuel costs are uncertain, and Land Rover's own corporate stewardship was transferred halfway around the world. Despite those radical breaks in continuity, the production-ready LRX -- now known as the 2011 Range Rover Evoque -- remains remarkably true to the original concept.
