We’re big fans of the Hyundai Veloster N around here, and suffice it to say that we were happy with it as it was (the Performance package box checked, naturally). If it ain’t broke, why fix it? Well, the fact of the matter is that…

ROSAMOND, Calif. – Chuck Yeager’s Bell X-1 busted the sound barrier back in 1947, inspiring a generation of speed freaks that anything is possible with a can-do spirit and the right hardware. However, it wasn’t until 1969 that the…

We’ve considered the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross a better-than-expected option in a mostly uninspiring vehicular segment ever since it was introduced for the 2018 model year. It’s sized and priced somewhere between subcompact and…

MOAB, Utah — The long-awaited 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, outfitted with a 6.4-liter V8, made its bold appearance at the 2021 Easter Jeep Safari. An off-roader’s play space, Moab is home to tons of trails set among the famous red…

MOAB, Utah – Jeeping and off-roading are synonymous. For more than 80 years, Jeep has manufactured extraordinarily capable 4x4s, and because of this, Jeep enthusiasts continue to flock to the iconic moniker. Electrifyingly…

Many times we test high-powered crossovers but view them through the same lens as their performance-oriented siblings. Is this a Mustang? Is this a Porsche? Is it worthy? The list of crossovers subjected to navel-gazing and…

Even in the face of fading four-door relevance, a new luxury sedan still turns heads, and that goes double when it’s sporting the Flying B. The 2021 Bentley Flying Spur V8 marks the return of the “entry-level” variant of Bentley’s…

It’s taken a few months, but the high-performance versions of the Mk8 Volkswagen Golf seem to have arrived all at once. If you want something a bit more potent than the regular GTI (itself the most powerful standard version ever), then…

Looking at the luxury crossover market, you can probably guess that there’s a clear demand for fastback variants. All the German automakers offer multiple coupe-like crossovers. The rest of the industry hasn't been so sure, including…

The Land Rover Discovery has found itself underneath one almighty shadow cast by the new Defender and all its good press. So in an attempt to keep it relevant, Land Rover has given its family focused SUV a sweeping midlife update, with a…

CALABASAS, Calif. — The 2022 Audi E-Tron GT doesn’t go on sale in the United States until sometime this summer, but last week we got the chance to drive a German-spec RS E-Tron GT version out of Ingolstadt’s pre-production fleet…

In Lincoln’s current all-SUV family, the mid-sized Nautilus occupies what might be thought of as the middle-child position: a vague middle ground where it’s overshadowed by its higher-wattage siblings. The Navigator is the…

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — It takes a car-minded person, or even someone well-versed in BMW, to really notice an Alpina in passing. The Bavarian tuner, which trades solely in BMW, doesn’t plaster its performance-enhanced cars with carbon…

The 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 is refreshingly and unapologetically a crossover for the masses that happens to be an electric car. This stands in contrast to two of its key competitors. First and foremost, the Mach-E is a Ford Mustang and…

When the current Sonata was introduced, Hyundai designer Haksoo Ha promised that it would "… excite people who are looking for a sedan.” Apart from product planners, we don't know many people who are genuinely excited by a mainstream…
