Chevrolet's Colorado ZR2 this week became even more off-road focused with the arrival of a new Bison option. Among the upgrades for the mid-size pickup truck are five new skid plates constructed of hard, durable hot-stamped Boron steel, an industry first.

Nissan's GT-R Track Edition may not be as fast as the Nismo model, but it comes with a huge price advantage. We just drove the latest 2018 model to see what this son of Godzilla can do. BMW has just redesigned the X5, and if you're interested you'd better be willing to pay more. The latest 2019 model represents a $1,200 increase over the outgoing one, but it also has a few key differences. BMW also has a redesigned X4 being introduced this year. We took one for a spin near BMW's plant in South Carolina and found it to be quite the driver's car. Another vehicle we drove was Mercedes-AMG's E63...

It's called the Cayenne E-Hybrid, and it packs a plug-in hybrid powertrain good for 455 horsepower. Ford's Mustang GT finally handles like the sports car it's always wanted to be. You'll need to pony up for the...

This Week's Top Photos: the 2018 Beijing auto show editionMercedes-Maybach's Ultimate Luxury concept was one of the major talking points of this week's 2018 Beijing auto show, though not entirely for positive reasons.

A new generation of BMW's 8-Series is just around the corner, and a high-performance M8 variant is coming too. Here we see the latter flexing its muscles on the Nürburgring. Expect it to feature a twin-turbo V-8 very conservatively rated to just over 600 horsepower. Another vehicle spied testing this week was a Jeep pickup truck based on the bones of the new JL Wrangler. Possibly called a Scrambler, the pickup goes on sale in 2019 and will compete with mid-sizers like the new Ford Ranger as well as the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon twins. Yet another electric car startup has come out...
