Splitting the Hairs of Luxury in the Kia Cadenza
Splitting the difference in luxury is like splitting hairs. Does luxury maintain its appeal if it’s available to nearly everyone? Kia thinks so, and with the new 2017 Cadenza, the automaker is targeting anyone who has ever wanted lots of premium features and miles […]
Fun with Physics in the Lamborghini’s Advanced Composite Laboratory
