The Vanquish and Its V-12 Will Save Aston Martin: First Drive Review
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 […]

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson Is God-Tier NPC Transportation: First Drive Review
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 […]

The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla Automatic Is Real, Real Good: First Drive Review
Toyota’s essence can be distilled into one Japanese word: Kaizen. It essentially means “continuous improvement,” never resting on one’s laurels—and it’s foundational to how Toyota operates. Kaizen is, perhaps, why after just two years on sale, Toyota is already rolling out big updates for its highly touted rally hatch. The big one: An automatic transmission. […]

The New Audi S5 Isn't as Fun as It Used to Be: First Drive Review
The south of France has some of the greatest driving roads on earth. Sliced from mountains and littered with incredible vistas, these are the sort of bends car people dream about. The 2025 Audi S5 should be in its element here. It’s a rocketship on paper, harnessing a turbocharged and gently hybridized V-6, all-wheel-drive grip, […]

We Drove the 2026 Honda Passport Trailsport in Moab. It's Genuinely Tough
I pulled up to a Moab, Utah overlook in a 2026 Honda Passport Trailsport prototype and hopped out into the red sand. My group of six Passports, all in orange camouflage, was about 5,000 feet above sea level, parked alongside Jeep Wranglers, Ford Broncos, and side-by-sides that slithered over rocks like their wheels were tentacles. […]
The Volkswagen ID.Buzz isn’t particularly efficient, it isn’t particularly cheap, and some parts of its interior are utterly infuriating to use. But I liked it—and so did everyone else who laid eyes on it. Without a doubt, it is the most charming three-row, seven-passenger vehicle you can buy right now. It definitely left me smiling. […]
It’s mid-life update time as BMW lifts the covers off its M235 complete with a new DCT gearbox, chassis improvements and interior changes. The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that the biggest change is the removal of the letter “i”. Following in the footsteps of its hatchback brother, the M135, BMW has removed the […]
