The 2021 BMW 4 Series is arguably one of the most polarizing cars to have come out in the last few years. And by polarizing, we mean that pretty much everyone on the internet hates it. Honestly, we can’t blame the masses for turning their backs on the 4’s nose given BMW’s famous—and typically handsome—kidney

Electric pickup trucks that can spin in place doing tank turns or carry a telephone pole in a pass-thru frunk grab headlines, but they don’t necessarily pay the bills. A solid order for 100,000 Amazon Prime vans will keep Rivian’s lights on as its R1T and R1S civilian truck and SUV catch on in the

Driving is fun, parking is not—especially if you drive a gigantic crew-cab pickup truck. Well, your 2021 Ford F-150 or other new Ford might valet park itself in the very near future (a Ford Escape experimental participant is pictured here), if you can find a parking structure outfitted with Bosch’s infrastructure-based Automated Valet Parking system. We’ve

Small accidents can be the most frustrating. Whether it’s scraping a wheel on a curb, tapping a bumper on a pole, or opening a door into a wall, low-speed parking impacts can cause minor yet massively annoying damage. Backup cameras are now mandatory on new vehicles, but more visibility is always better. To that end,

Back in 2005, when Ram was but a Dodge, the TRX moniker was applied throughout Dodge’s truck line. That included the midsize Dakota, full-size Ram 1500, and monstrous Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickups. Mind you, these TRX-badged pickups were far from the 702-hp monster that is the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX. Rather, these

“If the car was invented today and we said this consumer product will improve mobility and productivity, but … it will kill 33,000 people a year in America, do you think the government would approve it for sale?” Volvo senior safety engineer Thomas Broberg’s measured iconoclasm came as the automaker defended its decision to restrict

Maserati is doubling down on the performance of its sedans. “Trofeo” has been a byword for the fastest and most powerful version of Maserati’s Levante SUV for a while now, but the Italian brand is finally bestowing the Trofeo badge on both the 2021 Ghibli and the 2021 Quattroporte sedans. While the Levante Trofeo remains unchanged,
There are 72 steps leading up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s entrance—you know, the ones a certain fictional boxer played by Sylvester Stallone hoofed up in Rocky? That’s not many steps, nor much of a distance, and neither is the 1,000 miles traveled by Stallone’s stretched Cadillac Escalade ESV limo that’s currently for sale by

Much like the Willys trim level that’s already available on the Wrangler, the Gladiator’s Willys package will come in two levels: the Willys Sport and the Willys (the Willys Sport being the cheaper of the two). All Willys-trimmed Gladiators will get black 17-inch wheels with mud-terrain tires, rock rails from the Rubicon trim, a limited-slip
I admit that writing about this month’s subject makes me feel a bit like Charlie Brown running toward Lucy and her football. This particular football, as a general concept, is just so alluring: Take a problem (excessive atmospheric CO2) and turn it directly into a solution that lets us keep driving the vehicles we love—via
I’d love to know how many wheels are curbed and bumpers are tapped each year in attempts to parallel park. There’s a whole industry of rubber bumper guards built around how difficult parking alongside a curb can be; crowded cities like New York are full of them. You might catch yourself thinking, “If cars can
