2020 Lamborghini Huracán Evo review
The 2020 Lamborghini Huracán Evo looks a lot like its predecessor, but the changes turn it into a smarter, sharper, and more focused machine. It boasts a 640-horsepower, 5.2-liter V10 engine, a brand-new infotainment system, and chassis tech developed to read the driver's mind and predict the next move.
2019 Lincoln Continental review
With the 2019 Continental, Lincoln is on a mission to rekindle ties with its glamorous past. The firm's flagship sedan is short on tech, but it's comfortable, spacious, and smooth -- just like a Lincoln should be. And, with the 400-horsepower engine and all-wheel drive, it's seriously quick off the line.
2019 Ram 1500 Review
The 2019 Ram 1500 continues its campaign for comfort with improved ride quality, better interior materials, and class-exclusive technologies. With the availability of a mild hybrid system for both V6 and V8 powertrains and cylinder deactivation, the truck also makes a critical efficiency play.
2019 Genesis G70 review
The 2019 Genesis G70 is Korea’s first attempt to take on the vaunted German trio of BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Competition doesn’t come much tougher than that, but Genesis came prepared with an upscale interior, well-tuned chassis, and available manual transmission.
2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Review
At a time when all-wheel drive, lower displacement, mid-engine layouts, and dual-clutch automatic transmissions are the norm of the supercar world, the 2019 Corvette ZR1’s front-mounted V8, manual gearbox, and rear drive platform stands in opposition. Is this the very best of a dying breed, or a lingering odor of antiquated technology?

2019 Lamborghini Urus first drive review
As the demand for premium SUVs continues to climb, Lamborghini brings an all-new contender to the fray with the Urus, a 650-horsepwer performance machine that emphasizes luxury and capability in equal measure. We tested it and found it's a veritable tour de force of technology, luxury, and all-out speed.
2019 Ford Ranger first drive review
The 2019 Ford Ranger aims to be a tool for weekend adventures, and goes head-to-head with midsize pickup trucks from Chevrolet, Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. Ford hasn’t sold the Ranger in the United States since 2011, so it has to make up for lost time and win over buyers who may have defected to rival brands.
2020 BMW 3 Series first drive review
43 years ago, BMW created the sport sedan segment and still owes the biggest chunk of its annual sales to the 3 Series, but judging by the current version, priorities appear to have changed. Before we declare BMW disloyal to its roots, however, we have a date with the 2019 330i and M340i xDrive in southern Portugal.
2019 Maserati Levante GTS review
Maserati’s luxury SUV gets a shot in the arm by way of Ferrari-derived V8 power, but is it enough to go toe-to-toe with the established players in the high performance sport-utility segment? We hit the streets of LA and then head out to the twisting tarmac of the Angeles Forest to find out.

2019 Jaguar I-Pace review
Very soon, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW (again), and Porsche will offer EV models, but it’s Jaguar that leaps first. At $70,495 (including destination), and with 234 miles of range, the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace directly challenges Tesla’s Model X 75D SUV ($84,000) and disadvantages future rivals.
2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE first drive review
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE has active suspension that actually scans the road ahead of you, helps you drive, and even massages your back. This SUV eliminates stress with a program of audio-visual and tactile effects. Aside from all that, The GLE is a seven-passenger SUV with expected performance.

The 2019 Veloster N is the first U.S. and second global market vehicle from Hyundai’s N Performance brand. Built to compete against hot hatch kings like Honda’s Civic Type R and Volkswagen’s Golf GTI, the Veloster N must be stylish, comfortable, fun to drive, and affordable.
2019 Porsche Panamera GTS first drive review
The Porsche Panamera GTS is back for a second generation with more tech features -- including one never seen on a Panamera -- and, controversially, turbos.

2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross first drive review
The 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross relies on 1990s nostalgia, spiffy styling, and a new turbocharged engine to add some spice to a bland crossover recipe. Mitsubishi is trying to rebuild itself with a focus on SUVs, and the Eclipse Cross is an important part of that strategy.
2019 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth first drive review
We head to Streets of Willow in Rosamond, California, to put Fiat's track-tuned roadster through its paces on the road course. The result of an engineering partnership between Fiat and Mazda, the 124 Spider Abarth is a timely reminder that horsepower isn't the final word in high performance.
2019 Fiat 500 Abarth first drive review
We put Fiat’s Abarth-tuned 500 through its paces at the Streets of Willow racetrack to see what it's all about. Based on the standard 500 city car, this diminutive performance machine uses a turbocharged, 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 160 hp that sends it from zero to 60 mph in less than seven seconds.
2019 Audi A8 first drive review
For the last three generations, Audi’s A8 has trailed its main rivals — BMW’s 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz’s S-Class — in sales and prestige. Styled for impact and engineered for exceptional ride and handling, the fourth-generation A8 may finally disrupt the full-size luxury car market.

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 Volvo V60 first drive review
With the brand-new 2019 V60, Volvo argues the station wagon segment isn't as moribund as most other automakers say it is.

2019 McLaren 600LT First Drive
Following the F1 GTR and 675LT coupe and convertible, the 600LT is McLaren’s fourth long tail model and current ruler of its Sport Series range. Like its LT kin, the 600LT is lighter, more aerodynamic, more powerful, more driver-focused, better suited to track duty, and production-limited.

BMW’s best-selling model morphs into its fourth generation and is completely new from the ground up.

We took it for a spin on the scenic roads of Georgia.
2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe first drive review
No longer tasked with simply enhancing Mercedes-Benz models, Mercedes-AMG now builds production vehicles from the ground up with an emphasis on track-capable performance. The GT 4-Door Coupe is the third from-scratch model by AMG and it looks to be a proper sports car with luxurious details.
