For many years the most luxurious off-road capable SUV was the Land Rover Range Rover. Today, the Bentley Bentayga is on the scene and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan will go on sale soon. Now that the competition for Jaguar Land Rover grows, it makes sense for them to study its rivals. JLR believes the Bentley Bentayga infringes on its patent regarding its Terrain Response technology. JLR sued Bentley Motors earlier this month in Federal District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, over a patent infringement. They claim Bentleys All Terrain Specification comes with a Drive Dynamics system that...

The internet has made the field very tough, by making car prices more transparent for customers and giving them the opportunity to shop around. It has also ...
For people who live in such a big state as Texas, driving is more like a way of life. The average Texas motorist logs more than 16,000 miles behind the wheel each year, far more than the average American.
