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.

For the past week, I’ve been truly enjoying my time driving in the new Lexus NX 200t. The NX represents the company’s first entry into the compact SUV market, and I think they’ve got a winner on their hands here.

Ever since it was announced, I’ve been excited to drive the new Cadillac ATS-V. After all, I really loved the everyday ATS and this one has a 464 horsepower twin-turbo V6 and is track ready from the factory.

The Range Rover has has long been seen as the ideal blend of luxury materials and capability in a single vehicle, and after a week behind the wheel of the 2015 Range Rover Sport HSE, I can confirm that’s the case.

I’ll start out by saying this: The 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch is the best pickup truck I’ve ever driven. It’s loaded with luxuries and comforts not typically associated with pickups, and doesn’t sacrifice utility in the least.

The Audi A3 is a compact executive sedan that shares platform elements with the popular Volkswagen Golf, but with more upscale accoutrements and Audi’s arguably more appealing styling. It looks especially put together in brilliant red and sporting Audi’s black singleframe grille, aluminum-trimmed window openings, and riding on 18″ alloys.

If I had to pick a single word to describe the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Road & Track, it would be “brash,” and I mean that in the best of ways. If I were permitted to use other words in my vocabulary starting with the letter “b,” I’d also call it “bold,” “beautiful,” and “brawny.”

It’s been a really long time since I drove a Hyundai Santa Fe. I actually owned one back in the early 2000s when they first came out, and while I was lured in by its value, it wasn’t exactly powerful or well built.

The current generation Mazda 3 is a compact sedan that combines enjoyable driving dynamics, fuel efficiency and safety in a moderately priced package. Available in both 4-door sedan and 5-door hatchback variants, with either a 2.0-liter or 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, the model I spent time with sits smack dab in the middle of the line.

The Toyota Highlander has long been one of the most popular mid-size SUVs on the market. Its most recent redesign was for the 2014 model year, and that’s the version I managed to spend some time with.

It’s not often that I drive a car that’s as well-rounded as the Lexus ES 300h. This mid-size car is spacious, comfortable, luxurious, and gets astonishingly good gas mileage. Outside, the ES 300h and it’s traditionally-engined ES 350 brother are stylish and sophisticated, though pretty conservative in their looks.
