    Our attention was initially grabbed when Kia rolled out the Stinger. Now we’re paying even more attention because Genesis has a sports sedan of its own. The Genesis G70 is one sweet machine. You have to get the twin-turbocharged V6. You have to ignore the manual gearbox that’s offered and get the automatic. And you…

    Audi has entered the electric vehicle fray. Say hello to the 2019 Audi E-tron. This is the German automaker’s first fully electric machine and it’s a surprisingly good starting point for four-ringed electrification. It does make you ask a question though; do you prefer maximum range or fast charging speeds? Check out the video above…

The three-row SUV manages to bake in a healthy dose of premium features while providing a top-tier cabin experience. Especially in the fully loaded version. Under the hood is a 3.8-liter V6 and it produces 291…

    It was gone for awhile but now it’s back. The Ford Ranger went away from our market back in 2012. For 2019, Ford has given us a new option in the mid-size truck segment. The Ranger has returned and, even though it’s not a brand-new platform, it’s a welcome variable in a solid field of…

    The UTV world is blowing up. Multi-purpose units are sales kings, but the sports segment is rapidly becoming more crowded. Honda has waded into the fray with its new Honda Talon two-passenger sport SxS. There are two options here; the 1000R and the 1000X. Both are powered by the same 999-cc inline-twin, which makes 104…

Both wear Roush TVS 2650 superchargers. The Mustang has an active exhaust system, while the F-150 gets a two-inch lift and the…

    The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo 4S is one of the greatest cars you can buy. It’s a Porsche… wagon, and it’s damn near perfect. Yes, it’s expensive ($128k as-tested) but you don’t need to own another car. It has room for your stuff. You can raise it to an off-road mode if you need to…

    This is a ridiculous machine. It’s crazy that Dodge makes this. It’s wild that you can walk into a dealership, give them your many dollars, and leave with the keys to one of these. This is the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye, and I love it. You can think of it as a sort of sub-Demon.…
