2018

Alfonso Albaisa is a certified design genius, of that I am sure. With a few strokes of the stylus on their computer-aided design system, he and his team transformed the Infiniti QX80 from one of the homeliest vehicles on the planet to a very handsome SUV for 2018.…

Driving a lot of different vehicles, I’ve develop a mental checklist of things I notice and enjoy. And certainly, I’ve developed some personal biases toward certain types of vehicles.…

If you were hoping that the Subaru WRX STI Type RA might be a moderately-priced performance car like the normal WRX, you were mistaken. Subaru has announced the price for the WRX STI Type RA and the car starts at $48,995 plus $860 for destination and delivery.…

Does the world really need another compact crossover? Maybe not, but Mitsubishi clearly does if it wants to continue its climb back to from obscurity in this country.…

If you have your eye on a high-end BMW, Porsche, or Mercedes-Benz sports coupe, Saleen has something that you might want to consider. The 2018 Saleen S1 has a custom-built turbo 2.5-liter four cylinder engine that makes 450 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, while weighing in at just 2865 pounds.…

The Corvette ZR1 is one serious supercar. We’ve already heard about the specs for the Vette, and 755 hp underfoot sounds pretty darn good. Originally, we heard that the ZR1 would pack in 600 lb-ft of torque, but Road & Track is reporting that the beast will make about 715 lb-ft of torque and a 212 mph top speed.…

Just a few days ago, Jeep turned up at the LA Auto Show and told us just about everything that a Jeep fan would want to know about the new 2018 Wrangler.…

After a long absence from the US auto market, Alfa Romeo has come back to the states with three very solid cars in the last couple of years – the crazy fun, but highly impractical 4C, the excellent handling and well-executed Giulia (and its bonkers Quadrifoglio variant), and now the Stelvio – the company’s first ever SUV.…

The Kia Soul is a popular car with folks that want style and utility at a bargain price when new car shopping. Nissan has a new entry-level crossover that might lure some of those Soul buyers Nissan’s way.…

All the leaves were brown, and yes, the sky was grey. But I’d be damned if I was walking that wintry day. Ford had gone through all this trouble to make sure that I had ample access to the heavily revised, and downright devilish Mustang GT in Malibu, California, and I sure as hell wasn’t about to pass up on seat time.…

If there’s one thing that Dodge is doing well these days it getting the most out of its line-up. Despite the challenges of aging platforms like the ones underpinning the Charger, Challenger, and Durango, all three vehicles continue to be relevant and desirable thanks to the prowess of Dodge and SRT’s engineering and design teams.…

Put every ounce of ingenuity into building something special, and the results are guaranteed to impress. Nowhere is this adage more appropriate than within Ford’s latest lineup, especially when considering its completely overhauled models.…

The latest edition of the Ram 1500 pickup line comes in an absolutely fantastic new color scheme, called “Hydro Blue.” Based on the Ram 1500 Sport package, the truck features a monochromatic electric blue pearlcoat paint which appears not only on the body, but on almost all of the body trim.…

The Aston Martin Vanquish S has been a fantastic grand tourer over its lifetime, what with its angry 600 horsepower 6-liter V12 and stunning looks. But the Vanquish S is heading into its sunset days, and to celebrate the end of its run, Aston Martin is making a very special final edition of the car.…
