What defines the modern flagship sedan? Is it luxury, space, power, or technology? That question doesn’t have an easy answer, but it was one BMW was faced with when creating the seventh-generation 7-Series. An upper-class icon, the redesigned model combines all four of those attributes with an available electric powertrain and driving dynamics that need

Lexus has launched its all-new RX SUV and we’ve driven it. Gone is the V6 of RXs past and in its place is a turbocharged and hybridized four-cylinder engine. Despite that sounding like a potential disappointment, we’re quite impressed by the new 2023 Lexus RX. Before getting our seat time in the latest version of

Have you ever wondered what the Suzuki Jimny would look like as a Convertible? Well, a Chinese tuner thought just that and set about making this unique off-roader a reality. YiChe Garage had to import a Jimny to China, since it isn’t sold there, at a cost of approximately $60,000. They then spent an additional

What separates sedans from crossovers, and how important are those differences? Those are two very important questions as the Toyota Crown is returning to America as an “elevated sedan.” A radical departure from the rear-wheel drive variants offered in Japan, the 2023 Crown is a segment bender that follows in the footsteps of the iconic

With soaring inflation, record high transaction prices, and a summer of $5 per gallon gasoline, affordable and fuel efficient sedans have never looked better. Unfortunately, it’s slim pickings as the carpocalypse continues to claim victims with some of the latest being the Chevrolet Spark, Hyundai Accent, Honda Insight, and Nissan Maxima. However, Toyota is committed

The Tonale might just be the car that finally helps Alfa Romeo hit the big time. Seriously. Yeah, we know people said the same about the Giulia and Stelvio, and yet despite being well received, neither has sold in huge numbers. But the Tonale could change that. Does it deserve to? We jumped behind the

The Kia Niro has grown in popularity since its release back in 2016. Even now, as its first generation is about to be supplanted by an all-new Niro, it’s had a 27 percent increase in sales. That’s no easy feat but the Niro has made a name for itself as a flexible, practical, and value-oriented

In late 2021 Porsche announced it had finally done the physical engine swap we’d all been wrenching on mentally for what seemed like forever. It dropped a genuine 911 GT3 engine into a Cayman to create the 718 GT4 RS, the fastest, most powerful production Cayman ever built, and also the most expensive by some

The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is unlike any other before it, pushing its track-focused nature to new extremes in the relentless pursuit of performance. However, in essentially transforming the GT3 RS into a road-going GT3 race car, has Porsche made it a little less enjoyable to drive? Powering the new 911 GT3 RS is

Luxury brands have embraced electric vehicles, but they’ve typically been far from affordable. Audi is working to change that with the 2023 Q4 e-tron, which is being billed as “approachable premium.” That’s more than just marketing hyperbole as the crossover starts at $48,800 and this makes it a steal, when you consider the entry-level Ford

The new Mercedes-AMG SL 63 is not to be underestimated, as this recent review from AutoTopNL reveals. Powering the flagship Mercedes roadster is a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that is good for 577 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Mercedes claims the car can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.6 seconds and

It’s difficult to overstate how important the new 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale is to the Italian brand. Stellantis’s answer to BMW has failed to set the sales charts alight in recent years despite having some decent cars in the shape of the four-door Giulia and Stelvio SUV so there’s a lot of pressure on the Tonale’s

Singer’s Dynamics & Lightweighting Study is one of the more exciting restomods cooked up in recent years and after many years of development, Chris Harris has had the opportunity to see what it is all about. The veteran journalist notes that this is not an objective review of the car as he was involved in

Spy shots of a development mule for the next-generation MX-5 we posted earlier this month prove that Mazda is firmly committed to keeping its baby sports car kicking for at least one more generation. At eight years old today, and probably nine or 10 when Mazda finally gets around to unveiling the finished NE-code car,

Kia has been smashing it out of the park lately regardless of what it builds, whether that’s an all-electric sedan like the EV6 or the super-boxy near-production EV9 SUV. The all-new Niro looks to continue the trend by taking many of its new styling cues from the spicy Habaniro concept. It’ll come with three different

If you’re a fan of Chris Harris, you probably know that he loves Porsche 911s and that he hates SUVs. So, when he was recently handed the keys to an Aston Martin DBX 707, he decided to give it a go, heading to the closest racetrack to see what this ultimate performance SUV is capable

Three cylinders don’t sound like much to work with. Push the Start button on the console of a GR Corolla, though, and the trio under the hood comes to life with a purpose. The noise it creates exits individual exhaust pipes and from the driver’s seat, there are very clear indications that this isn’t like

What kind of vehicle is the 2023 Nissan Rogue? What does it compare to? The Rogue is a compact crossover SUV with seats for up to five passengers. Shop it against the Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester; the Mitsubishi Outlander is related to the Rogue, but offers a small third-row seat.  Is the 2023 Nissan

The original Lexus RX made a huge impact on the crossover segment. It served as the first luxury offering in the space and fed an untapped appetite in the market. Now it’s entering its fifth generation and the all-new 2023 Lexus RX is aiming to make another big impact. This time, though, the luxury crossover

Compact crossovers don’t exactly get the heart racing as many are focused on value and fuel efficiency. While there’s nothing wrong with that, Dodge wants to add some spice to a rather vanilla segment and they’re doing that with the all-new Hornet. Billed as the industry’s quickest and most powerful crossover under $30,000, the Hornet

Before the end of the 2022 calendar year, we expect the GR Corolla to end up in the hands of some very happy Toyota customers. Before that happens, we’re getting the chance to test out the mighty hot hatch. With that in mind, what do you want to know about it? We’ve covered everything known

After just over two full decades, the Toyota Supra is finally going back on sale with a manual transmission. Before that happens, though, the Japanese brand is giving us a chance to test out the car on the track at Utah Motorsports Complex. With that in mind, what do you want to know about the
