Both my gorgeous French Racing Blue favorites could not approach the total earned by this BRG stunner from Jaguar the other week in Paris.

RM Auctions delivered a possible world-record Jaguar total with the sale of this flawless 1955 D-type for just over $5 million on February 5th, 2014.

Stay tuned for more details in the next few minutes via an upcoming article. But wanted to highlight the exceptional nature of this D-type Jaguar.

Well bought and well sold — a rare combination.

Review: The Hyundai Sonata N Line Nicely Blends Comfort, Sportiness and Value
While Hyundai is trying to position its new-ish N brand as something akin to M or AMG, it doesn’t have the history—or baggage—of those storied German brands. It’s a clean slate, so Hyundai can do whatever it wants, whether it’s going full-bonkers with rides like the Elantra N or IONIQ5 N, or giving us something milder: like this Hyundai Sonata N Line. And both approaches feel totally fine. […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Lexus ES350 F-Sport – Comfort Over Sportiness
The Lexus ES lineup has always been about providing buttery smooth comfort at a price that also projects a strong value to luxury consumers. With its Camry-based architecture, the ES is often the unsung hero in the luxury brand’s sales numbers with the ES preferring to let other models like the RX, LX, and even the LS shine in the limelight. Lexus has big plans for the ES but we wanted to […]
2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge AWD Ultimate review by Ben Lewis
There are certain brands that just seem to appeal to folks who want to go their own way. For example, there are plenty of nice Toyota and Honda vehicles out there. But among the great mainstream competitors, you also have Subaru. Yes, a Subaru does the same things the others do, but you get a feeling that they have their own way. And it reflects on their owners. In the Premium department, we […]
Road Test Followup – 2024 Toyota Tacoma – Is It Still The Leader?
The current generation Toyota Tacoma is one of the most pickup entries in the market today. The truck is attempting to inject fresh vigor into the Tacoma nameplate after years of stagnation despite the best efforts of models like the TRD-PRO to distract observers from the lingering sense of staleness lurking underneath the surface. The truck is proving to be a strong seller but with Toyota going […]

Three decades ago, Subaru took a traditional station wagon, jacked up the suspension and helped create the Outback which helped breathe new life into the station wagon while also blurring the line between it and the traditional SUV. The formula has also proven to be very popular with consumers and the Outback has risen to become one of Subaru’s top sellers. But is the 2024 Subaru Outback […]

2025 Volkswagen Jetta SEL review by Ben Lewis
They may not be as popular as SUV/crossovers, but we’ve had a good run on sedans lately here at Car_Revs_Daily. The Kia Forte GT (soon to be replaced by the K5), and Honda Civic Si have been strong reminders that affordable fun can still be had in small 4-doors. And now we have the 2025 VW Jetta – while it’s not the GLI, a true-high performance European sedan, we’ve just spent our holidays in the […]

2025 Honda Civic Si review by Ben Lewis
You gotta love Honda. There are very few brands that stay really true to their ethos, but Honda is one of them. And maybe the perfect example is the Civic Si. Starting out as the Civic S, and then later the fuel-injected Si, it’s always been about affordable fun, lightweight, quick responses, and oh yeah, a manual transmission. So, the 2025 Civic Si gets a nice refresh inside and out – but the […]

2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid review by Ben Lewis
If you think about Hybrids, you probably think Toyota, right? I mean they pretty much started the game with the Prius, and have expanded the thrifty powertrain along most of their lineup. Heck, even the new Land Cruiser, Tacoma and Sequoia are rolling some brand of hybrid powertrain. While it’s nice to see those big beasts getting a little more efficient, it seems like the big thrills come from […]
