2015 Bentley Continental GT Speed First Drive: 206 mph from a 626-hp W-12 Does the Trick
Posted on 16.07.2014 | No CommentsWe’ve never really understood why Bentley gives the fastest versions of its Continental clan “Speed” branding. It’s not as if any of the lesser models are exactly deficient when it comes to delivering velocity. Even the “entry-level” V-8, the one you lend to the pool boy on his day off, can crack 60 mph in […] -
2015 Lexus NX Crossover First Drive: Take Equal Parts RAV4 and Lexus IS, Stir Auspiciously
Posted on 07.07.2014 | No CommentsLexus is about to go off its meds. And it isn’t because the brand’s regimen for success hasn’t been effective. On the contrary, since the aptly named RX hit the market in 1998, Lexus has ruled the roost in the mid-size luxury crossover segment. Competing formulations have come and gone, but the RX’s ability to […] -
2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L First Drive: Substantive Style
Posted on 30.06.2014 | No CommentsThere is a Hyundai plant in Montgomery, Alabama, yet most of the city’s populace has never seen anything that could be described as flashy roll off its assembly lines. But the stares are piercing as we drive a 2015 Sonata through the city. READ MOR... -
2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon First Drive: More Mini Van than Most Minivans
Posted on 27.06.2014 | No CommentsBy every reasonable definition, the 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon is a minivan. It’s a van. It’s small. Ergo, it’s a minivan. Duh. Yet Ford is touting it as the “unminivan,” even turning the term into a hashtag for marketing purposes. READ... -
2015 BMW M4 Manual First Drive: Fun with Three Pedals and a Stick
Posted on 13.06.2014 | No CommentsUntil now, manual-transmission versions of the 2015 BMW M3 and M4 have eluded our collective left foot. We were beginning to think BMW was going to delay the release of the manual, or possibly pull the plug altogether. After all, some other brands have taken their respective performance models automatic-only. But now that we’ve finally […] -
2015 Ford Transit First Drive: Set to Outsprint the Sprinter
Posted on 10.06.2014 | No CommentsFor anyone who’s spent time at the helm of a Ford Econoline/E-Series over the decades, there have been many things to deal with: a steep climb into the cabin, oceans of featureless plastic dash and door trim, truly awful seats, and, under the hood, wheezy V-8 and V-10 engines that were more thirsty than thrusty. […] -
2015 Lincoln MKC Crossover First Drive: There May Be Hope for Lincoln
Posted on 09.06.2014 | No CommentsLet’s state one inescapable truth right now: The Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape. But this Pygmalion strategy is neither unique nor scandalous: Other luxury marques disguise mass-market products beneath thin veneers of extravagance. Think Ac... -
2015 Ferrari California T First Drive: Turbocharged with a Capital T
Posted on 03.06.2014 | No CommentsThe only other Ferrari to wear a “T” suffix was the Mondial t, circa 1989. As with the new California T, it was a 2+2 convertible (a coupe was sold as well), but its engine was behind the cabin while the California packs its V-8 up front. That original “t” suffix denoted the shape of […] -
2015 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupe Driven: Get This, Not an M6
Posted on 27.05.2014 | No CommentsBuying an Alpina B6 Gran Coupe is no harder than cutting a check. But you have to know it exists—Alpinas are uncommon in their home country of Germany and they’re virtually unheard of in the U.S.—and you’ll also have to forgo the similarly priced M6 Gran Coupe, which likely will be sitting near the Alpina […] -
2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro First Drive: Toyota Goes Raptor Hunting
Posted on 23.05.2014 | No CommentsThe successful F-150 SVT Raptor was a big gamble on Ford’s part, yet it captured the hearts and minds—and wallets—of dirt-slinging enthusiasts. Keen to place its own wager in the burgeoning segment of factory off-road performance, Toyota and its Toyota Racing Development (TRD) group invited us to Las Vegas to see whether or not the new […] -
2015 BMW 4-series Gran Coupe First Drive: Ultimate Styling Machine
Posted on 22.05.2014 | No CommentsIn the 1970s and 1980s, several European carmakers offered premium hatchback sedans, but the traditionally conservative German brands were not among them. That situation began to change in recent years with the advent of Audi’s A5 Sportback and A7, and now BMW is joining the premium hatchback party with the 4-series Gran Coupe, a car […]
