2015 Nissan Murano SV review
The Nissan Murano hits the mark as an entry-level luxury crossover. It is stylish, comfortable, and just a downright nice place to be. It may have flaws, but it also has something rare in its category: charisma.
2015 Fiat 500e review
FIAT may only be making the 500e to comply with California regulations, but it may actually be the most compelling offering in the Cinquecento lineup. The addition of electric power has transformed the 500 from quirky idiosyncrasy to consummate city car.
2015 Mitsubishi Outlander GT V6 review
The Mitsubishi Outlander has some real virtues like ruggedness, value, and surprisingly modern styling. However, in today’s landscape of refined and luxurious crossovers, the Outlander feels behind the times.
2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport review
Most crossovers feel like cleverly disguised minivans, the Santa Fe Sport doesn't. It manages to check all the utilitarian boxes, and still have a personality.
2016 Kia Sorento review
Industry leaders like Toyota and Ford ought to be worried, because the 2016 Kia Sorrento isn't just good it incorporates
2015 Volkswagen Beetle R-Line review
The VW Beetle R-Line may have the bones of an old GTI, but, compared to the modern crop of hot hatchbacks, it remains more of a designer accessory than a red-blooded hot hatch.
2015 Honda Fit EX-L review
The 2015 Honda Fit combines practicality, comfort, and refinement, proving subcompact cars don't have to be a punishment.
2015 Cadillac Escalade Platinum review
The Cadillac Escalade has never lacked for status or presence, but now in 2015 it doesn't lack in refinement or luxury either.
2015 Kia Soul EV review
Kia’s Soul EV seems like a cute toy, but it is actually one of the most practical and compelling EVs on the market today.
2015 GMC Canyon SLT review
The GMC Canyon is a revelation for midsize truck buyers, offering unheard of refinement and comfort. However, it is a revelation with a price.
2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum review
The Chrysler 300C is the last bastion of the full-size American rear drive V8 sedan; combining luxury, with pseudo-muscle car performance.
2015 Jeep Renegade Sport review
The 2015 Jeep Renegade is that rare example of cheap actually being cheerful. The littlest jeep combines practicality, ruggedness and even fun.
2015 Lincoln Navigator review
The Lincoln Navigator may be old, but Lincoln has taught it some new tricks for 2015 including a smooth, powerful new engine, and bold styling.
2015 Honda Civic EX-L review
The Honda Civic may not get hearts pumping or heads turning, but it lives up to its reputation as solid and dependable transportation.
2016 Acura MDX review
The Acura MDX has all the features and performance of a luxury SUV, yet lacks an X-factor to push it over the edge.
2015 Mini Cooper S Four Door review
The Mini Cooper may not be practical, but it is the perfect toy for the fashionable urbanite.
2015 Range Rover Sport Supercharged review
The Range Rover Sport is capable of dominating sand dunes, tracks, and the daily commute. In fact it begs the question, why would anyone get anything else?
2015 Nissan Juke NISMO RS review
The 2015 Nissan Juke NISMO RS is one of the strangest, but most entertaining cars on the market today. It may look like a robo-frog but under its odd exterior lies a snicky manual, a big turbo and a quirky personality.
The 2015 VW Golf R: a physics-fighting middle-class supercar
The 2015 VW Golf R is different in many ways from other Golfs. What truly sets it apart, though, is its physics-bending 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
First drive: 2016 Cadillac ATS-V
It's no stretch to say that the Cadillac ATS-V is the finest handling Caddy of all time, not to mention downright superior to the offerings from the former Axis powers. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean it is perfect.
First drive: 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
The Golf SportWagen may not do much to cure the image of wagons, but it would be extremely hard to legally get a more useful car for less money.
First drive: 2016 Bentley Mulsanne Speed
Yes, you could buy a house for the price of a Mulsanne Speed, but we would rather have this stunningly crafted and shockingly fun Bentley.
First Drive: 2016 Volvo XC90
There are important cars and then there is the 2016 Volvo XC90, which is threatening to redefine what a luxury SUV should be -- and what it should cost.
First drive: 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country
The 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country is a nearly perfect family car; it combines luxury and utility in a way few true competitors can. That's good, because it does have a few flaws, such as a relatively high price and cramped rear seats.
First drive: 2014 Toyota Rav4 Limited review
The RAV4 represents the best and the worst of Toyota, it is still a tremendously practical vehicle with tons of interior room and cargo space, but unlike the V6-powered RAV4's of old the current generation offers a completely joyless driving experience.
First drive: 2015 Acura TLX
Acura calls its new TLX a "red carpet athlete", but it is on the red carpet that the TLX shines. Few cars deliver the same combination of value, luxury, and tech as the TLX fort the money.
Joy ride: 2014 Ford Fiesta SE
The Ford Fiesta might be cheap, with minimal features and some marginal trim. But beneath this economy-minded surface is the heart of an enthusiast. With nimble suspension and excellent steering, the Fiesta offers a great compromise between utility and fun.
Joy Ride: 2014 Toyota Corolla S
The Toyota Corolla may be the king of cars, but the top end Corolla S fails to live up to the “sport” in its name. It still does provide what the Corolla name is known for: quality and reliability. And, for 2015, it now includes a bevy of features.
First drive: 2015 Audi S8
At first glance it might be hard to understand why anyone should spend $115,000 on a turbocharged executive sedan, but the S8 provides a simple answer. It is a supercar that you won’t want to just live with every day, but one that you will want to live in everyday.
Joyride: 2014 Dodge Dart Rallye 2.4
The Dodge Dart is quintessentially American, in that it is actually foreign. The Italian immigrant has all the charisma and soul you would expect from its Alfa Romeo roots, but it also comes from a hearty dose of practicality from Dodge. The result is a veritable melting pot, and quite a good car.
Joyride: 2015 Volvo XC60
The Volvo XC60 was already a good car, safe, practical and stylish. In short everything you might want in a European crossover. But for 2015 Volvo has shoved a habanero pepper up its bum in the form of the 302 horsepower turbo-supercharged Drive-E T6 engine.
Joy Ride: 2014 Volkswagen Passat SEL Premium
The Volkswagen Passat is the genuine article, a real German sedan. As such, the Passat is the most refined car in its class. The addition of the excellent 1.8 TSI engine helps matters even more. Unfortunately, this doesn't completely overcome the car's slightly dour personality.
First drive: 2015 Subaru Legacy
The all-new Subaru Legacy should make Honda and Toyota take note; The Legacy combines Subaru staples like BOXER engines and all-wheel drive with dramatic improvements in equipment, especially infotainment. The result is a car that is fun, practical, and still affordable.
