The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Broke My Brain
/
The 2026 Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivers a mind-warping 1,064 horsepower. There’s no electric assist on this one. Just rear-wheel-drive insanity… and I love it. Maybe too much. I sort of lose my mind in this video, and it’s all the car’s fault.

2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 AWD Performance Calligraphy: Review
/
A three-row electric family hauler that looks like it wandered in from a Volvo dealership and mostly gets away with it. The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is not trying to be exciting. It is trying to be excellent. Those are different goals, and for most buyers in this segment, excellence is the more useful one.…

2027 Ford Bronco Filson: First Look!
/
Ford and Filson want to take customers from Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz. They said this out loud. To automotive journalists. You have to respect the confidence. The 2027 Ford Bronco Filson was revealed in June, and Ford has been touring it around the country this summer for exactly this purpose: getting journalists and enthusiasts close…

2026 Lexus IS 350 F Sport: Review
/
Last week I drove the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MkV Final Edition. The last Supra. This week, I am in the 2026 Lexus IS 350 F Sport, which is also, quietly, nearing the end of its run. The third generation IS has been in production since April 2013. That is thirteen years on the same…

2026 Acura Integra Type S: Gen-X Nostalgia with a Modern Edge
/
The 2026 Acura Integra Type S seemingly exists to target Gen-X enthusiasts who spent their youth hooning CR-Xs, Integras, Preludes, and various swapped Civics. Acura clearly realizes we now have adult money and they built this, and the Civic Type R, for us. It may be a decade too late but we all should be…

2026 Dodge Charger R/T – One Take Review
/
It is best to start by clearing up the distinction: this is not a Daytona. The Charger Daytona is the electric model. What we have here is the gas-powered Dodge Charger R/T Plus, housing the standard-output 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six. Above this sits the Scat Pack with its high-output 550-horsepower setup. The R/T makes 420…

2026 Toyota GR Supra MkV Final Edition: Review
/
On delivery day, I didn’t know which Supra I was getting. I knew it was a Supra. That much had been confirmed. But the specific trim, the color, the spec, I found out when the car showed up. What showed up was a 2026 Toyota GR Supra MkV Final Edition in “Undercover”, which is a…

2026 Mazda CX-5 S Premium Plus: Review
/
I’m back, baby! The Mazda CX-5 has always occupied an interesting position in the compact SUV segment. It is not the cheapest, the most powerful, or the most feature-rich. What it has always been is one of the best to drive, looks great, and makes the fewest obvious compromises for the money. The 2026 model…

The Stunt Driver Will Be A Must-See Film
/
Remember that wild story about Canadian stuntman Ken Carter? You definitely know that story if you’ve been lurking around these parts for long enough. If his name doesn’t ring a bell, the phrase St. Lawrence River Jump should. Ken Carter is the man who attempted to jump a car more than a mile. His mode…

Aston Martin DB12 S: Gorgeous Grand Tourer… But Not A Sports Car
/
When Aston Martin slaps the S badge on a model, the result is a sharpened, more fine-tuned iteration of an already entertaining machine. What happens, though, when you start with a grand touring all-star like the DB12? You get a DB12 S that plays the part in a bigger way; just don’t go thinking this…

2026 Hummer H3X Pickup Review: Larger Than Life
/
The first civilian Hummer products were pure novelty, an expensive cosplay outfit for those who sought attention and fanfare without the luxury usually associated with such. Times have changed, and yet the Hummer hasn’t; like its predecessor, the newest H3X Pickup is seriously capable off-road and yet seriously flawed, and it’s still one of the…

Searching For Orcas In A BMW M5 Touring
/
I’m well aware that the jokes could write themselves on this one. There’s been plenty of talk about the latest BMW M5 Touring arriving as an incredibly hefty machine. That’s certainly true. Take a gander at the posted curb weight figure, and you’ll find the numbers 5,481 staring back at you. Still, we have a…

2026 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo: Quite Surprising
/
The compact SUV segment is one of the most competitive stretches of the new car market, and also one of the most forgettable. Most entries in this class are competently engineered, reasonably priced, and about as memorable as a Tuesday. The 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo is not trying to be a Toyota RAV4…

2026 Audi RS 6 Avant Performance: It’s Still the One!
/
A few years ago, I drove the 2023 Audi RS 6 Avant and wrote about the forever car thought experiment. You know the one: a benefactor appears, offers you one car, free, yours to keep indefinitely, but you have to pick right there on the spot. The idea is that it forces you to be…

2026 Subaru BRZ tS Review: Same As It Ever Was (& That’s A Good Thing)
/
The original Subaru BRZ (and its then-branded Scion FR-S twin) was good. The current one (and its Toyota GR86 twin) is very good, if not great. As the number of affordable sports cars dwindles, the Toyota-Subaru concoction thrives. It’s a beacon of light in a land of beige, a car that invites you to actually…

2026 Nissan Kicks SR AWD Review
/
Basic transportation has come a long way in recent years. Once stripped-out ways of getting from place to place, even the cars at the lower rung of the automotive totem pole now enjoy luxuries, amenities, efficiencies, and safety features that have trickled down from the higher-up points of the ladder. Case in point: The 2026…
