2018 Jaguar XF S Sportbrake review
Though SUVs were once responsible for the slow demise of wagons, their overwhelming popularity may now be the cause of a wagon resurgence. To compliment its growing SUV lineup, Jaguar re-introduces a long-roofed XF (dubbed Sportbrake) to take on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon.
2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster review
The GT C is the hottest drop-top in Mercedes-AMG’s portfolio. How does the 550-horsepower roadster stack up against other topless terrors like the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, Jaguar F-Type SVR, and Audi R8 V10 Spyder? Read our 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster Review to find out.
Audi MMI Touch Response infotainment review
Infotainment systems come in all shapes and sizes. Audi chose to take its newest software, MMI Touch Response, in a simpler direction by creating an intuitive interface that's smartphone-like to use. We tried the triple-screen set-up in nearly every car it comes standard in to get an idea of what it's like to use.
2018 Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack 2 review
Armed with stickier tires, more aggressive suspension tuning, and a revised aero package, Performance Pack 2 is the Mustang GT’s most track-focused package to date, and it puts Chevrolet’s Camaro SS 1LE square in its sights.
2018 Toyota C-HR review
We bond with Toyota’s latest crossover arrival, the subcompact, front-wheel-drive-only C-HR. It arrives as an entry-level model to battle the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, Kia Niro, Chevrolet Trax, Hyundai Kona, Nissan Kicks, Jeep Renegade, and the Ford EcoSport
2018 Mini Countryman S E ALL4 review
The 2018 MINI Countryman S E ALL4 is the latest to receive a plug-in hybrid electric powertrain. It performs well, but its high price premium and short driving distances in both gas hybrid and electric mode make it only best for intercity transport.
2019 BMW X4 M40i first drive review
We hoon and bond with the 2019 BMW X4 in its top-specification M40i at and around BMW’s Performance Center in South Carolina to learn that the X4 still can boogey. But the ride is better and it overall does well to succeed upon its previous successes with more style and better performance all around.

2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4Matic+ first drive review
Nuttier than the Project One hypercar and GT R track monster, the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4Matic + Wagon is the fusion of practicality and brute force. Is a 603-hp station wagon a doomed concept or the most incredible family hauler ever conceived? We find out with some road and track testing in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

2018 BMW X3 M40i review

2019 Honda Insight first drive review
The 2019 Honda Insight hides its hybrid nature behind conventional sedan styling. Honda’s latest hybrid offers impressive fuel economy, but without the quirkiness of some of its rivals.

2018 Kia Forte5 SX review
It’s not a true hot hatch, but the Forte5 SX comes awfully close to being one. And with loads of standard features at a reasonable price, you’ll be too busy enjoy your heated seats and Apple CarPlay to mind the missing power or sloppy shifts.
2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro review
Toyota’s range-topping Tacoma combines beefier hardware with smarter software for impressive off-road capability, but is it enough to keep up with Chevrolet’s Colorado ZR2 and Jeep’s new Wrangler Rubicon. In this 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Review, we put the hardcore taco to the test.

2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo review
The 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo is a vehicle of sheer excess – of sheet metal, horsepower, sophisticated technology, premium details, and characters in its name. Taking on the Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon and Jaguar XF Sportbrake, Porsche’s wagon must prove its excess is worth its excessive price.
2018 Nissan Kicks first drive review
The 2018 Nissan Kicks aims to compete with subcompact crossovers like the Honda HR-V and Hyundai Kona, but with better fuel economy and value. To do that, the Nissan sacrifices many traditional SUV qualities. Read our first drive review to see whether that strategy paid off for Nissan.

2019 Subaru Ascent first drive review
The 2019 Subaru Ascent is the Japanese automaker’s largest-ever production model. It was built to keep Subaru owners with large families in the fold, but should put competitors on notice as well.
2019 Chevrolet Silverado first drive review
The upcoming 2019 Chevrolet Silverado features an all-new 2.7-liter turbocharged and direct-injected engine good for 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque. Mated to Chevy’s 8-speed automatic, this is a powerful new package for Chevy’s bread-and-butter truck. Will it compete with Ford and Ram?
2019 Audi A6 first drive review
This is the 2019 Audi A6, as you've likely guessed given the familiar design. Almost everything under the sheet metal is new. It receives several tech features from the bigger A8, including one of the best infotainment systems in the business, and the cocoon-like interior Audi is known for.
2019 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid first drive review
The gasoline-electric variant of the third-generation Cayenne gets a V6-electric plug-in hybrid powertrain that aims to deliver Prius-like emissions while remaining the sports car of the SUV segment. We put it through it spaces in southern France in our 2019 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid first drive review.
2018 Nissan 370Z first drive review
The 2018 Nissan 370Z is essentially the same sports car that first appear roughly a decade ago. That means buyers get an excellent driving experience, but without the array of tech and convenience items many have come to expect in new cars. Can the 370Z’s character make up for that?
2018 Porsche 911 GT3 review
Porsche’s 911 GT3 returns for 2018 with a beefier flat-six engine, a choice of unspoiled or spoilered rear end, and a manual gearbox. With fresh challengers like the Mercedes-AMG GT R and McLaren 570S, is the 911 GT3 still the ultimate daily drivable track weapon?
