With 1000hp, an exposed carbon fibre body, striking shooting brake styling and a £700k price tag, the Brabus Rocket GTS is about as ridiculous as limited run cars get. What you’re looking at isn’t the lovechild of a weird Z3M couple. And while Brabus has almost certainly taken design cues from the originally-hated-but-now-adored Z3M Coupe, […]

What if I told you there was a car that would happily fit a family of four and all of its gear, could hold its own off-road, and looks as fresh as they come, all while costing less than $36,000 (when converted to USD and with every option)? Would you slap me in the face […]

After barely 30 seconds in the driver’s seat of a 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, my co-driver is already egging me on for more speed: “Go faster! Full throttle! You can go faster through this section!” It’s true. The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is incredibly capable of zipping over rough terrain at stupid speeds. It doesn’t […]

A quarter-million-dollar SUV with an Aston Martin badge should be a pretty easy sell these days, what with Bentley’s and Lamborghini’s SUVs moving quicker than the manufacturers can build them. But the Aston Martin DBX hasn’t been nearly as popular as the Bentayga, Urus, or others in the sporty, ultra-luxe SUV segment, even though Aston’s […]

The American West can credibly stake its claim as the most beautiful part of the country. At least most of the year. But for a few short weeks each fall, the Northeast is spectacular, an overhead explosion of red, orange, and yellow attracts the masses to the Adirondacks, Appalachian, Poconos, and these mountains, the Catskills. […]

Aston Martin is in desperate need of a flagship. The DB12 and the Vantage are great cars with lots of style, but they don’t exactly have the same vibes as Astons past. Their borrowed V-8 engines aren’t nearly as awe-inspiring as Aston’s iconic V-12s.  Enter the new Vanquish. The Vanquish you see here isn’t the […]

All it took was a young, hungry Austrian engineer by the name of Ferdinand Karl Piëch to think, “An inline-four runs a bit too rough” and “Well, an inline-six is a bit too long” for the odd but lovable inline-five to first exist, then become the defining engine layout for Audi. Well, Piëch was also […]

A simple, effective update is all a car needs sometimes. The 2025 Hyundai Tucson is a sterling example. A slight facelift, some new tech, and a brand-new interior help keep the Tucson competitive with other best-sellers in the compact SUV segment. But is it enough to secure victory over top dogs like Toyota RAV4 and […]

Let’s get this out of the way. The 2025 BMW M5 weighs 5,390 pounds. That’s nearly two Toyota GR86s. It’s more than two Mazda Miatas. It’s the same as an adult white rhinoceros. This is a heavy car. It’s been the main talking point about the M5 since its debut. BMW has made a lot […]

The Audi Q7 isn’t a head-turner. It won’t draw strong opinions from your friends or family. And you probably can’t even tell by looking at it, but this one is “new” for 2025. Squint and you might notice the updated grille design and fresh light fixtures as part of the latest model year facelift. Although […]
