2024 Subaru BRZ tS Quick Review
/
/
comments
The Subaru BRZ is a fantastic driver’s car both in its native mechanical flavor and dressed as the Toyota GR86. Auto enthusiasts love to wax poetic about how the duo needs more power, yet for most mortals “slow car fast” is the fun (and more responsible) way to drive, after all. Instead of giving it…

The 2025 Ram RHO is TRX Light… But Maybe Also Bettter
/
/
comments
I always enjoyed any time I spent with the Ram TRX. It’s a 702-hp monster truck you can buy with a factory warranty and the out-of-box ability to go run Baja. Ram is downsizing some of its engine offerings, however, so the TRX had to go away. Stepping up to take its place as the…

2025 Hyundai Tucson – One Take Review
/
/
comments
The Tucson is Hyundai’s bestselling vehicle. In order not to mess with success, the year-over-year changes for this model are modest at best. But, for 2025, the Tucson did get one huge change, even if it’s not immediately visible. That change is to the interior, and that change is quite amazing. Gone is an awkward…

2024 Kia Sorento X-Pro SX-Prestige 2.5T AWD: Review
/
/
comments
October 6th, 2015, I remember it like it was yesterday. That date, a little over nine years ago, was when I published my very first press loan review. It featured a 2016 Kia Sorento, and I even made a video. I also backed it into a jersey barrier, but that’s unimportant. Whenever Kia’s midsize crossover…

One Take Review: Land Rover Defender 110
/
/
comments
Codenamed L663, the current Land Rover Defender is very different from its iconic predecessor. There is no ladder frame and there are no live axles. In place of the frame, the L663 uses two strengthened Range Rover sub-frames that are attached to a stout unibody. All four wheels are suspended individually. Double wish-bone front suspension…

2025 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S Premium Plus: Review
/
/
comments
The Mazda CX-70 is new for the 2025 model year. If it reminds you of the recently launched CX-90, there’s a good reason. It’s the same in almost every way; it just doesn’t have a third row. We spent a week with the top-spec Turbo S Premium Plus, with its brilliant Soul Red paint, and…

2025 MINI Countryman JCW Quick Review
/
/
comments
You’ve probably heard enough of the whole “Mini isn’t so Mini anymore” thing, so we’ll get straight to the point: The new Mini countryman JCW is a darn good time, albeit one you pay dearly for. Now in its third generation, this U25 model shares its underpinnings with the BMW X1 yet brings a vibe…

The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage May Be the Best One Ever
/
/
comments
If I had to choose any Aston Martin Vantage to own, and what a fortunate choice it would be, I know exactly which one I’d pick. It wouldn’t be any of the modern ones. It would be that glorious V8 coupe from the late 70s. You know the one… that looks vaguely like a Mustang.…

2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958: Review
/
/
comments
We’re coming at you hard with new Land Cruiser content. In July, Jeff posted a video of his first encounter with a Land Cruiser, and Ross followed it up with a comprehensive review. Those were top-spec First Editions, and Toyota just sent us the base trim 1958. You can expect a companion video review of…

Makellos Classics Builds a Better Porsche 930 Turbo
/
/
comments
The Porsche 930 is the starting point for the German automaker’s turbocharged monster machines. Of course, the monstrous part of the early efforts was the potential for unplanned oversteer adventure. Today’s turbocharged 911s are different animals entirely. Still, the original cars just look fantastic. That doesn’t mean there’s room for improvement and Makellos Classics has…
