  • 2020 Lincoln Aviator

    More than a decade on since the nameplate was last in production, Lincoln's Aviator is finally back, and better than ever. The 2020 Aviator unveiled earlier this month at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show is a credible alternative to mid-size luxury crossover SUVs from the German brands, and thus it's no surprise it's priced like them too, with the base price coming in at $52,195, including destination. That price is with the standard 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6, which Lincoln estimates is good for 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. And drive is to the rear wheels only as standard...

  • Waymo self-driving car

    It appears precipitation is enough to require the human back-up driver to take control in a Waymo self-driving car. According to a report from The Verge, rain was one of a few factors that prevented Waymo's self-driving car from carrying out its autonomous duties. The insight came from one of just a few people who Waymo has cleared to be a part of the Waymo One ride-hailing service. The company launched the service late last year in Arizona with a fleet of Chrysler Pacifica minivans. However, according to the report, the service sometimes falls short of promises the company made. The rider...

  • 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Tag Heuer Edition
