Bigger. Taller. Faster. Louder. Sure, but if there’s any single word to describe the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392, it’s “more” – as in more power, more speed, and arguably even a little more capability. (Also, more words.…

The 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo rips. It rips harder than nearly every other production car on this planet. The review could probably just end right there. Dreaming up superlatives, fanciful metaphors or long, streaming sentences for how…

LONE PINE, Calif. — “We need a big bag of dog food, a thing of toilet paper and some groceries,” said my wife. “Let’s take the Porsche.” Her head was not inclined toward a Cayenne or Macan. She was indicating the new 2021 Porsche…

Take one quick glimpse at Hyundai’s already-robust roster of SUVs, from the mini Venue to the plus-size Palisade and you’ll find no shortage of utes. There’s six in all – that’s more than Jeep – plus a mixture of hybrids, electrics…

The Mercedes GLC Coupe is the sporty variant of the Mercedes GLC, which is Merc's mid-sized SUV that counts the BMW X3 among its rivals. The Coupe is a great smaller sibling to the GLE Coupe with a less imposing look that actually makes it…

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — When we write about minivans, it’s easy to focus on the Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica, while mostly ignoring the other option out there: the Kia Sedona. It’s older than the other three, each of…

Although full electric cars and internal-combustion engines with mild electric assist are becoming more common, plug-in hybrids, particularly with usable range, are still fairly uncommon. This is especially evident in the luxury…

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…
