It's a question we've been asking ourselves since the 2017 Audi A4 and the 2017 Jaguar XE first rolled into our driveways: which one's better, and can either of them ascend to the 3-Series' old slot as the top compact sport sedan? We find no shortage of irony that the staid British luxury brand is...

Unfortunately for some of us, 1990 doesn't feel like long ago. It was a watershed year for the car industry; Lexus was new, so was the Miata. Same goes for the Acura NSX. It was the supercar from 1990 that was so user-friendly it could only have come from Honda. The NSX arrived at the peak of the...

I’m in the base model, on a pencil-straight desert road, and I already love this car. Even with the V-6 engine you can get in an Impala, the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE has already wormed its way into my heart. The immediate steering response, the feel of the suede-covered steering wheel, and...

Anyone ordering a new Tesla [NSDQ:TSLA] Model S can now add a glass roof option. It costs $1,500 and not only blocks out 98 percent of UV rays but also keeps cabin temperatures cool, thanks in part to protective layers within the glass. The same glass is used for the panoramic windshield of the...

Time for a confession. We've been angry all these years. Europe has been sliding around behind the wheel of the Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] Focus RS for years. Here in America--land of the free, dammit--we've been RS-free. Time for that to end. The Focus RS is finally here, finally free to drift...

Our heads tell us that new cars are more reliable and fun, our hearts say the classics should live forever. One of the all-time greats has to be the Chevy Chevelle, which was unceremoniously retired in the late 1970s. Thankfully, Chevy resurrected one and prepped it for SEMA duty. This one is...

The rebooted Fisker has revealed its upcoming electric sedan, labeled the EMotion. The car looks almost nothing like the Karma sedan from the previous incarnation of Fisker. We’d even say its aggressive look is more like what Fisker design boss and founder Henrik Fisker introduced on the...
