    The C8-generation Chevy Corvette’s base model was already a fast car, so it took throwing a flat-plane-crank V8 into the Z06 for it to become something special. And with that kind of gusto up their sleeve, we’ve known all along that Chevy was going to swing for the fences with the top-dog C8 ZR1. And…

    It wasn’t long ago that if you wanted a factory-built Jeep and a pickup truck, you had to buy both; and, it wasn’t long ago that if you wanted a desert-running factory-built pickup, it meant buying a Ford Raptor. Jeep finally alleviated buyers of this dilemma for the 2020 model year with the Gladiator, and…

    Wheels are about more than just appearance; they impact performance and, crucially, durability. When choosing wheels, you must balance factors like finish, weight, and offset while keeping the price reasonable. American Racing has expertly balanced quality and affordability for decades. Our experience with their AR172 Baja wheels confirms this. Despite many new wheel options for…

    On Father’s Day morning I fulfilled the car-dad stereotype by going for a solo drive to get some coffee at the local “car guys” spot. Behind the wheel of the new 2024 Nissan Z NISMO, I felt like the coolest guy in town. Fully expecting the Z to draw some attention upon my arrival, it…

    The Subaru Outback is the brand’s second-best selling vehicle as of late, slotting in behind the same-ethos-but-smaller-and-less-expensive Crosstrek. And yet, the Outback still feels like the heart of Subaru, embodying the notion that weather conditions don’t matter, you don’t need low-range to go into the woods, and the wagon lifestyle is better than that brought…

    The first teaser for “F1” has landed, and it shows a lot of promise. The movie stars Brad Pitt, and the story surrounds him coming out of retirement to return to the sport and mentor an up-and-coming driver in the process. “F1” has many of the makings of a very solid film. On top of…

    You know when someone you trust tells you that something is good, but you’re still skeptical? That was the case with my own doubts and the Kia EV9. This is a great three-row family hauler, and any questions about its merits should be thrown to the wayside. In fact, most people buying Suburbans and the…

    The Subaru Forester is the definitive all-wheel-drive family mover for those with safety as a top priority, and though the midsize CUV has been updated for 2025, it’s heart still shines that of the same old Forester that has helped define Subaru for the last few decades. So, do the changes for 2025 make a…

    Automotive reviewers love to lament the coupe-ified CUV/SUV trend for taking something useful and deliberately making it less so, and the trajectory that started largely thanks to the BMW X6 back in 2007 has now manifested in the 2024 BMW X2, and in this case the X2 xDrive28i. So let’s ignore the practicality compromises inherent…

    On paper, the 2024 Mercedes GLB35 4MATIC compact crossover has a lot stacked against it. The price and relative lack of power alone are enough to cause pause, yet in reality the little wannabe SUV masquerades as a high-sitting hot hatch with some AMG goodness baked in. This thing is a little ripper, a blast…
