When Ford first announced that it was redesigning the Mustang for 2015, it dropped the bomb that it would be the first version of the pony car to offer a 4-cylinder engine option in decades. But unlike the underpowered engines of days gone by, the 2.3-liter

Most carmakers are in a battle of keeping up with the Joneses and constantly wage a battle of one-upmanship. Such is the case for my tester this week – the 2016 Acura MDX. Although, truth be told, in the third-row luxury SUV segment, the MDX is the Joneses and everyone else seems to be trying to keep up with them.

In the burgeoning world of crossovers, a new member taking to the fray isn’t exactly surprising. It’s like adding another “Housewives of ___” series, really. So, Hyundai’s wholly new Tucson doesn’t exactly call for the 21-gun salute as it steps onto the stage, since everyone and their automotive journalist brother has expected the new CUV for quite a while.

Toyota has been making some of the most durable and off-road worthy pickup trucks for as long as I can remember. The truck I think is at the sweet spot of their product line is the Tacoma.

I could do a bunch of bad puns around the word “focus” for this car review. But that’s probably been done and is kind of cliché. I could say that Ford had lost focus on the compact car segment over the last couple years, but that would be incorrect anyway.

A coupe with four doors? Who ever heard of such a thing? Actually, it’s not that rare and I got to drive one. Remember, there’s a second definition of the word coupe, at least according to good Mr.

For the first time that I can remember, Scion is releasing two new car models at the same time. While the Scion iA compact sedan is targeted at urban daily drivers, the iM is made young adventurers who like to get out and hit the road.

Ever since it was first announced, I’ve been really excited about the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Its fresh new design has tremendous visual appeal, and Mazda managed to trim 150 pounds to get the car back to fighting weight after years of gradual bloat.

A few years back, the compact crossover market was limited to a couple of vehicles, including the Nissan Juke and Buick Enclave. However, the segment is growing logarithmically, with several new entries on the way in the coming months alone.

Acura is one carmaker that got out of the gates quickly, picked up speed and then completely lost its way on the course. Great cars like the Legend and the Integra back in the 1980s set the tone for the Japanese luxury brand, and then all hell broke loose.

To call Jaguar sales tepid in comparison to the sport/luxury juggernaut, BMW, would be a serious understatement. In 2014, Jag sold just north of 450,000 cars, while BMW ran away with 1.8 million units worldwide. But you’d never guess that by taking one look at the Jaguar F-Type R AWD Coupe.

The Lexus LS series has been around for a number of years, but this is the first time I’ve been able to drive one for an extended period of time. The LS 460 is a true executive sedan, meaning that it’s a car you’re as likely to be driven in as to be the driver yourself.

Alfa Romeo’s intention of pulling a seat back up to the American automotive table takes the form of a car that’s about as niche as they come. It’s not a family sedan, nor is it an SUV.

A few months back, I had the opportunity to drive the 2015 Hyundai Genesis in its V6 AWD variant. I really loved it, and thought it was one of the best cars I had driven this year.

Mazda’s CX-9 sits at the top of the size range for the company’s SUVs. It’s a full seven passenger vehicle, offering tons of space for people and cargo. In addition to space, it’s surprisingly zippy, and handles well for an SUV of its size.
