So, you think Porsche only makes sports cars? What, did you stop reading in 2003? That's when Porsche came out with its first SUV, the Cayenne. And without the Cayenne, we might not have today's 911s and Caymans and Boxsters. At all. Porsche's sold so many Cayennes, it's building a follow-up act, a compact crossover SUV along the lines of the Audi Q5 and the new Mercedes GLC. It's pretty fast and fearsome in its own right--which is why we took aim at the north Georgia mountains for a day-long joy ride in the 400-horsepower Porsche Macan Turbo.

Texas-based tuner Hennessey Performance doesn't do subtle. To paraphrase its founder's slogan, the tuner makes fast cars faster. But in this case? It started with a Ford F-250 Lariat, and transformed it into what the company dubbed a VelociRaptor SUV. It's not Hennessey's first crack at the concept. The previous model was based on Ford's F-150 Raptor, and the new base vehicle allows the creation to be bigger, if not badder, than its predecessor. As you'd expect, power gets a major boost, thanks to a beefy supercharger which takes output from a respectable 411 horsepower to either 600 or 650...

In all likelihood, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is one for which lines will be drawn; it's a baffling beast to some, a sexy one to others. Take the 'coupe' badging and tall-fastback form factor in context, and try not to bring too much of your gaze upon this model's cladding and rugged cues...and then just maybe it makes a little more sense. Let’s face it, the term ‘coupe’ has been diluted to the point of ambiguity. Some purists are surely going to cry foul at luxury automakers’ persistent use of the term to describe a slightly swoopier version of sedans (like the...
