In a time when every automaker is telling us that self-driving cars are coming, one automaker is taking a giant leap. That automaker is Cadillac, and the giant leap is the launch of its Super Cruise driver assist system. It's a monumental step forward in the march toward self-driving cars, as it...

So you want a hot-rod station wagon, but it's 2017. Options range between "few" or "none." Not anymore. The 2018 Dodge Durango SRT is here, and it's a hot-rod wagon with a lift kit that can also tow your race car—also known as the "gearhead trifecta." With a long profile, huge interior...

These days, Lexus doesn't do boring. It's all about outrageous styling, big power, and luxurious interiors. The new 2018 Lexus LC 500 has all of the above. No, I'm not high. I'm sober; the LC 500 is serious too. Before you dismiss the wild spindle grille, check out these 10 things regarding the...

Alfa's been slow cooking its entrance back into the United States, and now it's cranked up the heat with the launch of the 2018 Stelvio. Of course, everyone knows you need an SUV, no matter the segment, because all the cool kids are doing it and Americans demand it. Now, Alfa's joining the club. In...

Some might say Alfa Romeo's return to the U.S. started with the 4C, but if substantial sales actually matter, it's the new 2017 Giulia that truly marks the brand's return. A moment Italian car fans have been waiting for has finally arrived, but was it worth the wait? If driving terrific driving...

It might look like the outgoing Mini Countryman, but the all-new 2017 model shares little more than a few nuts and bolts with its predecessor. It's a well thought-out subcompact crossover SUV that's far better aligned with what buyers are generally after—roominess, refinement, and on-road...

Brush away some Wagoneer nostalgia and you'll find that Jeep's lineup is the most complete it has ever been now that an all-new Compass has arrived for 2017. Slotting in between the boxy, petite Renegade and the still rather awkward Cherokee, the Compass may have what it takes to become the brand's...

For the first time since it went on sale in 2012, the Subaru BRZ has received a substantial refresh. From an updated design and interior materials to new tech and powertrain upgrades, there's a lot to talk about. While we have a full first drive report here, more impressions here, and some insight...

While the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 may not be the exact same car featured in "Spectre," the slinking grand-tourer is every bit the DB10's successor. The differences? That car had an ejector seat and parachute; this car has active aerodynamics. That car slid through Vatican City at night; this car can...

Designing and engineering a car is a balance. If an automaker puts a lot of money into one aspect of a car, other areas may suffer to meet a price target. The struggle between engineering and design is real: good cars can look bad, and vice versa. If the car is meant to handle well, how much power...

Car companies are in the business of selling sex by way of sheet metal and petroleum (or electrons), and one way they've found to getting you all hot and bothered is by using the word "coupe." In this new and sometimes alarming world, a vehicle can be any body style at all and still be called a...

New cars are like playgrounds for adults. There are many exciting places to explore and crawl around, but like a hot slide in July, not all of them are great. No matter the price, some cars just don't come standard with common sense. Here's a short list of things we could do without in our new...

If you thought the Mercedes-AMG GT was already out of bounds--like, Guy Fieri out of bounds--the newly debuted AMG GT R must seem completely out of hand. The GT R (no comment yet from Nissan on the catchy name) made its first public appearance this weekend at the U.K.'s Goodwood Festival of Speed...

What's in an acronym? In the case of the 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR, it's not just a pretty face and a $126,945 price tag. As it does with the gutsy Range Rover Sport SVR, Jaguar Land Rover doesn't spare much in the mission to give those letters real meaning. That meaning: pretty obvious. SVR stands...

Bad ideas aren't exclusive to the car business--but sometimes, they get mass-produced there. Not all of the cars on this list are bad, but they sure were short-lived. Maybe it was timing. Or maybe they really deserved it, you make the call. Here's a concise compendium of cars that lasted just a...

Mercedes-Benz on Monday took the covers off its new E-Class Wagon. It goes on sale early next year but one particular version, the Mercedes-AMG E43 Wagon, isn’t coming our way. The E43 is one of Mercedes-AMG’s new “43” series cars designed to fill the gap between the top...

There was a time when customers had to wait for the complete redesign of a vehicle to gain the latest tech features. However, with the ever-increasing convergence of the tech and automotive industries we’ve seen the rate of change accelerate at a rapid pace, meaning the features offered in...

Each year, Google comes out with a series of lists for some of the most popular queries made on its search engine throughout the year, or items that are “trending” as the tech giant would say. One of the lists is for top automotive searches and the results this year might just surprise...

The results of Millward Brown's annual BrandZ Top 100 are in, and Toyota was once again named the most valuable automotive marque. For those keeping score—which includes the entirety of the business world—that makes three straight wins for the world's largest automaker (BMW was number...

The United States is an amazing piece of real estate. The sprawling landscapes between the Atlantic and Pacific have always proved inspirational for artists, and our homegrown autos have generally been designed with road trips in mind. Presently, Memorial Day—created to honor the men and...
