“What SUV should I buy?” It’s a question consumers ask themselves every day, but what would online editor Alex Nishimoto drive? Keep reading for the answer, and see other editors’ picks here. I’ve been putting off buying a new car for more than half my life. I learned to dread the process as a kid

When I was growing up in Mexico City and Texas, the BMW 3 Series wasn’t just known for its great driving abilities. It was also known for giving the driver status. I vividly remember how highly I saw one of my dad’s friends just because he drove a 3 Series—the sport sedan not only raised
I recently moved to a new place, which was exciting and also arduous. Thankfully, I’m the chaperone of our long-term F-150, which meant I had dibs on the best moving truck in #MTGarage. The F-150 had many tools that made the move relatively easy, but there were times when I wished it had more tricks.
Things to consider up front about the 2019 Lamborghini Aventador SuperVeloce Jota LP770-4, known colloquially as the SVJ: The 6.5-liter V-12 makes 760 naturally aspirated horsepower and 531 lb of torque. This frenzied, astonishingly angry bull has all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, active aero, active aero vectoring, gooey Pirelli Trofeo R tires, and several square meters
“What SUV should I buy?” It’s a question consumers ask themselves every day, but what would senior production editor Zach Gale drive? Keep reading for the answer, and see other editors’ picks here. The effect was transformative, even if it didn’t happen overnight. Once my concern heightened about the negative impact humans are having on
I suspect no one looks at the X2 and thinks, “I bet that car can carry so much stuff,” and yet there’s more cargo capacity in the back of the X2 than initially meets the eye. Removing the false floor reveals a deep, carpeted well (there’s no spare). The tub does a good job at
Elon Musk’s master plan has always had the Model 3 circled in fat red ink as Tesla’s mega-selling, do-or-die affordable car. But since then, those fickle car buyers out there have been having other ideas and ditching their sedans for crossovers. Although the Model 3 has been selling remarkably well nonetheless, it hasn’t been enough
Say it ain’t so. The base Volkswagen Golf is reportedly exiting the U.S. market after the current generation calls it quits next year. According to a report by Motor 1, the standard version of the upcoming eighth-generation Golf—as well as the SportWagen variant—will not be available here. However, there is some good news, as the
Evaluating safety tech is trickier than ever. It’s not enough to just check a box on a features list; it’s important to know how the tech works and on what trims it’s offered, too. With regard to safety, the Acura RDX excels—but it’s not perfect. The $3,200 Technology package’s safety additions include a blind-spot monitoring
We’ve had the 2018 Nissan Kicks for a few months now, and it’s proving to be quite adept at commuting in Los Angeles’ gridlocked streets. Thanks to its small footprint, you can easily squeeze through small gaps and alleys, making it a breeze to navigate the city. Now that I’ve gotten to know the small
Curious to know whether this front-wheel-drive (sDrive) X2 has any sort of performance advantage over its all-wheel-drive (xDrive) counterpart, I asked our test team to run it through our test track routine and analyze the differences against previously tested X2s. Sure enough, our data shows that the X2 sDrive28i can get to 60 mph in
If your obsession with cars began as a child, then chances are you had a sizable collection of Hot Wheels scattered throughout your room. It’s no secret the Hot Wheels brand is a global icon and in case you weren’t aware, the infatuation with these highly-detailed, micro-sized dream cars has only gained momentum over the
And the pain is felt acutely in Asia, home to some of the world’s most export-reliant economies. Purchasing manager indexes across the continent are only starting to show hints of a China-led rebound after several months of souring. View 10 Photos 2. Policy Uncertainty Trade talks and the tariff wars have fed into the guessing
This just in from Gothenburg, Sweden: The all-electric Volvo XC40 is coming this year. According to Automotive News Europe, the compact crossover is next in line to get electrified by Volvo and will jump ahead of the XC40 plug-in hybrid (below) planned for 2020. Plug-in options are now available on all of the company’s models
“She said, ‘Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side. …’” —Lou Reed, 1972 What does Ol’ Lou singing tales of gender-bending ’70s Manhattan have to do with me telling you about a genre-bending racetrack performance car? To get straight to the point: Compared to the KTM X-Bow (say “crossbow”), your prized supercar languishing
Ford’s heavy-duty truck gets a thorough update for 2020. Not only does it receive two new engines, but it also gets a 10-speed automatic transmission and chassis upgrades. Plus, Ford is boosting towing and payload capability to keep up with the competition. We know that design ranks pretty far down the list of important characteristics
The 2020 Toyota Supra made its long-awaited debut at the Detroit auto show today. The U.S. version will come exclusively with an inline six-cylinder engine just like all previous generations of the Supra. But customers in Japan will have the option to buy one with a four-cylinder. In Japan, Toyota is offering a 2.0-liter twin-scroll
“Escalade is an aspirational vehicle but is too large for much of the world,” Andrew Smith, executive director of Global Cadillac, said. For many years Cadillac executives have recognized the need for a unibody three-row family vehicle to keep customers from leaving the brand. The urgency for an entry in this segment has grown with
Earlier this month, Porsche announced the 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport. As the racing version of the Cayman, it comes in two versions: one for amateurs and one for professionals. Soon, we expect Porsche to reveal a street-legal Cayman GT4, as well as a Boxster Spyder that uses the same powertrain. But will they get the Clubsport’s
With its unique shape, and the help of some cheeky hamsters, the Kia Soul has become as much a style symbol as a practical mode of transportation. Now entering its third generation, the Soul receives a host of design updates, and its shape has even changed somewhat. The question is: Has the hatch lost its charm,
The new Honda Passport and Chevrolet Blazer head to dealerships in early 2019 to challenge established players from Ford and Nissan. Although they’ve been in the game for a while, the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano are far from old, as both have been refreshed for 2019. The question is: Which midsize crossover has the
Old convertibles are almost always cool, but this freshly restored 1967 BMW 1600 GT convertible is a rare bird with a unique history. The silver four-seater with a red interior and matching top was painstakingly refreshed over several years by apprentices and their trainers at the BMW plant in Dingolfing, Germany, and it’s the only
Audi interiors have a reputation for being special, and the concept suggests the production E-Tron GT won’t disappoint. The steering wheel with a flattened top and bottom, will be on the production car, albeit with real buttons not touchscreens in the spokes, and the tiny, touch-actuated door handles will be replaced by hinged items. The
Although Toyota originally intended to sell the C-HR as a Scion, the youth-oriented brand folded before the crossover’s North American debut. The polarizing C-HR lives on as a Toyota, however, and for 2019 gains new trim levels from the base LE to the range-topping Limited variants. With a wider variety of models and new multimedia
Koenigsegg builds some of the fastest, rarest cars in the world. They’re also mechanical marvels that feature innovations such as the gearless hybrid powertrain found in the Regera. As you can imagine, they’re also incredibly expensive. But if you happen to be wealthy enough that a regular Regera isn’t rare or expensive enough for you,
Technically, Chevrolet has yet to confirm that it’s working on a mid-engine Corvette, but it may as well just come out and admit it. We’ve seen prototypes testing at the Nurburgring, in the snow, and even at the McDonald’s drive-through. At this point, the question is when it will be revealed, not whether it exists.
Today, McLaren took the cover off its latest car, the Speedtail. Only 106 will be built, each with a $2.3 million price tag. Like the F1, it comes with a center seating position for the driver, but unlike the F1, it uses a hybrid powertrain that makes 1,035 hp and can push the Speedtail to
