2014 Acura RDX review
Honda and by extensions Acura are in the business of making some fine cars but lately its run of vehicles has failed to excite. With 2014 Acura RDX, does the Japanese luxury automaker ignite a spark in our engines?
2013 Cadillac XTS review
Cadillac’s designers have penned a car that is easier to digest while still retaining that extra hint of edginess, which currently serves as the brand’s North Star.
2013 MINI Cooper S Roadster review
When MINI Cooper first hit the scene in '02, their cars were fresh, even quaint, jaunty, and sporty. Over 10 years later, the world around MINI has changed.
2015 Ford C-MAX Energi review
Does Ford’s first dedicated plug-in fizzle or does the C-MAX Energi deserve a place in the Blue Oval’s rapidly growing green car portfolio?
2013 Honda Fit EV review
The 2013 Honda Fit earns a bum rap due to its limited availability and lease-only options, but if you can overlook those pockmarks, what you’re left with is one of the most competent and fun EVs on the market.
2014 Nissan GT-R Review
The 2014 Nissan GT-R is one of the fastest cars on the planet, and virtually every other car with similar performance costs at least twice the money.
2014 Audi RS 5 Cabriolet Review
Underneath the subdued yet muscular skin of the Audi RS5 Cabriolet lies the heart of a 450-horsepower Bavarian barbarian. For as wild as it can be on the back roads, the RS 5 Cabriolet will never make you feel you’ve sacrificed sanity for the ability to go 174 mph at a moment’s notice.
2014 Ford Focus ST review
The Focus ST is Ford’s first official Stateside answer to the long-reining Volkswagen GTI hot hatch. While it goes like stink and handles like a champ, there’s just something missing from the Focus ST that gives it that makes it feel alive.
2015 Volkswagen Touareg TDI Sport review
If you’re the kind of person who collects state-themed spoons and wants a diesel-powered SUV rocket ship, you won’t like the Touareg TDI. If you’re a normal person, though, who simply wants refined, down-to-earth German luxury at the most reasonable price, the Touareg TDI is your best bet.
2014 Audi A7 TDI Quattro review
The Audi A7 is already one of the most gorgeous and usable full-size sedans on the market. But when Audi bolted its torque-y and efficient diesel TDI engine under the hood, it turned it into an eco-friendly automotive superstar.
2014 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD review
The all-new GMC Sierra is tougher, more efficient, and more refined than ever before. Thankfully, for the new generation, GMC designers actually addressed the issues past models by improving braking, road noise, and connectivity.
2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 review
Although entry-level luxury has never made a lot of sense to us, the Mercedes-Benz CLA250 puts it all into perspective. It has a gorgeous frame, a stunning interior, and price tag that will make, well, other Mercedes owners weep.
2014 Buick Encore review
Buick was given a stay of execution when GM went bankrupt a few years back. With a new lease on life, it looked to Europe for some inspiration and came up with the Encore. Although it might not win any beauty pageants, the surprisingly cheap Encore will wow buyers with an equipment list that reads like a $70,000 Mercedes.
2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali review
The GMC Yukon Denali has come a long way since the first generation. While just as bossy as before, the 2015 model year brings with it never-before-seen levels of refinement and technology. The 2015 Denali is finally a truck worthy of its success.
2015 Subaru Forester XT review
The Subaru Forester is a vehicle that is good without being exciting. The Forester XT, however, flips that paradigm with 250 horsepower of surprisingly practical, turbocharged fun.
2014 Toyota Tundra review
The latest edition of the Toyota Tundra delivers an uncompromising blend of luxury and rugged prowess. Whether you are riding a thunderous wave of power from the 5.7-liter i-Force V8 or sitting back in the comfortable seats, this truck has a lot to offer, so long as you don't mind stopping at every third gas station.
2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport V6 Review
In a segment full of aging luxury 4x4s that remain incredibly capable, the Range Rover Sport dares to be different. It combines V6 efficiency and cutting-edge aluminum architecture with all-wheel drive capability – not to mention one of the most stylish interiors on the planet.
2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E review
The Volvo S60 with its nearly-$50,000 price tag wades into one of the most competitive segments in the whole automotive industry. But it does so with an all-new and excellent engine, and the sort of excellent Scandinavian design that made IKEA a household name.
2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid review
The Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid is a bit of an oddball. Is it a crossover, a wagon? It’s unclear. Either way, it’s hard to argue with a car that gets more than 30 mpg, can fit in a compact space, and still has more interior room and ground clearance than just about any small SUV.
2014 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn review
For 2014, the Ram 2500 gets bigger and burlier. And in Laramie Longhorn guise, it’s even luxurious by most rights. That doesn’t mean, though, the truck has sacrificed capability for cush.
2014 Nissan Rogue SV review
The 2014 Nissan Rogue may not be the world's most exciting car, but it is one of the cheapest ways to seat seven people, and still come away with feels like a quality product. For less than $30,000 the Rogue delivers an astounding amount of tech and utility.
2014 Infiniti Q50S review
With a buttery 3.7-liter V6 and an exterior worthy of awards, the 2014 Infiniti Q50S appears to be a knockout. Step inside, however, and the mood changes quickly. Incongruent infotainment and lifeless power steering leave the Q50S far behind its German rivals.
2015 Chrysler 200S AWD review
Rarely has one generation of car been so different from what came before. The original Chrysler 200 was so bad, it went straight to rental fleets. The new 200S AWD, however, has gone straight to our hearts.
2014 Toyota Highlander XLE AWD review
The Highlander is one of the most “mommy” vehicles on the road. But those moms are on to something. The Highlander is one of the best compromises between utility and luxury in the crossover segment.
2015 Volvo V60 T5 Drive-E review
The 2015 Volvo V60 is the best-looking sport-inspired wagon on the American market today. Despite its athletic looks, the V60 is more likely to appeal to safety- and comfort-minded drivers than those in touch with their inner racecar driver.
2015 Ford Fiesta ST review
The 2015 Ford Fiesta ST picks up where its big brother, the Focus ST, left off; it takes crisp and comfortable driving dynamics to a whole new level, especially at the $26,000 mark.
2015 Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4 review
Lamborghini’s 2015 Huracán LP610-4 is a bit of a chameleon. It’s undeniably one of the best supercars on the road. Unlike some of the competition, though, it’s just as fun at low speeds as it on the edge.
2015 Hyundai Genesis review
The Hyundai Genesis may not be able to compete with Germans as a sports sedan. As a luxury car, however, it’s a strong contender. Even better, the big Korean sedan can be had for just $39,000, which is less than a base BMW 5 Series.
2015 Acura TLX V6 SH-AWD review
The all-new Acura TLX may not be as exciting or adrenaline pumping as a BMW, but it is very good at what people actually use their cars for: commuting. Thanks to silky smooth power, upscale interior, and grownup styling, the TLX can compete with all comers.
2015 Alfa Romeo 4C review
The 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C is a tiny wedge of Italian carbon fiber built for one thing: driving. Buyers hoping for a more refined driving experience, like that of most European sports cars, will likely be disappointed because the 4C is simply hard and fast.
2015 Kia K900 review
What to make of a $66,000 Kia? Thanks to the badge, the all-new Kia K900 may or may not be a success. Any lack of success, however, won’t be due to any major shortcomings. The K900 manages to be a tremendously luxurious ride and – surprisingly, for a $66,000 car – a serious value.
2015 Audi S3 review
Buyers might assume that the 2015 Audi S3 is simply a slightly sportier version of the standard A3. They’d be wrong. With a new engine, stiffened suspension, and sport seats – and much, much more – Audi has made an S4-fighting sports machine from its entry-level sedan.
2015 Nissan 370Z NISMO review
The Nissan 370Z NISMO is everything you want in a sports car. It is also, however, everything you don’t want in a daily driver.
2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited review
The 2014 Wrangler as an interesting beast. It charms with its old-world looks and off-road prowess. Climb inside, though, and – for the money – most buyers might be shocked by the lack of refinement and safety. That doesn’t mean, though, that as a modern-day 4x4 runabout, it’s a total loss.
2015 Ram 1500 Big Horn EcoDiesel review
The Ram 1500 with an EcoDiesel manages to do to something nearly impossible, get midsize sedan mileage in a truck the size of a small country. But there is more to this truck than mileage, its powerful, and very practical. But this excellence comes at a price.
2015 BMW M6 review
The BMW M6 drives like a boat with rocket engines strapped to the back, but does it have enough to set it apart from the competition?
2015 Nissan GT-R review
Proponents of the Nissan GT-R are quick to remind any naysayer that its performance figures outshine that of low-level Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Those folks, however, are overlooking Godzilla’s major flaw: livability.
2015 Honda Civic Si review
The Honda Civic is an old school ode to entry-level performance. It combines a fun-loving manual gearbox with a high-revving, naturally aspirated four-cylinder, in a classic performance trifecta. But does it hold up to the modern competition?
