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?

2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS450 4Matic first drive review
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS450 4Matic “four-door coupe” is an excellent luxury car that straddles the line between coupe and sedan. But instead of offering the best of both worlds, the redesigned third-generation Mercedes CLS fails to bring anything new to the luxury-car game.
2018 Kia Niro PHEV EX Premium review
The 2018 Kia Niro PHEV joins the existing Niro hybrid in Kia’s lineup. It attempts to split the difference between more focused plug-in hybrid hatchbacks and ever-popular crossovers. But can Kia straddle that line and deliver a green car that is genuinely good, and not just compromised?
2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE Td6 Review
The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport tries to put the “sport” in “sport utility vehicle,” while trying to offer some of the luxury and off-road capability of the full-size Range Rover. That’s a lot to expect from one SUV, but the Range Rover Sport hits all of its marks.
2019 Ford Edge first drive review
The 2019 Ford Edge midsize crossover gets significant refresh, including a host of new tech features and a new ST performance variant sporting a 335-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V6. Pricing starts at around $30,000 for a base SE model, but quickly climbs over $40,000 with options.
2019 Volvo S60 first drive review
The 2019 Volvo S60 borrows almost everything from other recent Volvo models, but that’s not a problem. From the Scalable Product Architecture platform to the T8 “Twin Engine” plug-in hybrid powertrain, Volvo’s latest luxury sedan uses a familiar formula to its advantage.

2019 BMW X7 first drive review
The 2019 BMW X7 is the German automaker’s long-overdue entry into the full-size luxury SUV segment. It's bigger than any BMW SUV to date.

2019 Honda HR-V Touring review
The 2019 Honda HR-V is part of a growing crop of subcompact crossovers.

A 2020 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid just set a lap record at Sweden's Gotland Ring. There's just one problem: The track wasn't finished.
