(As it turns out, you can see the Mustang Cobra Jet dragster in action on the show Hard Cell on the MotorTrend app. In the meantime, subscribers can check out other episodes of the performance-EV-focused program right here.) The Mustang Mach-E is a clear indication Ford wants to make quick, powerful electric cars. Now the Blue Oval has

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

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

First off, in the interest of full disclosure, we don’t know any more about the fate of the 7th generation Chevy Camaro than most online psychics. The only people that do know, at GM, have a habit of saying almost nothing about anything future product related. But speculation is fun. It was a great chance

The year 1968 changed America and the world, with unforgettable events both entertaining, awe-inspiring, and devastating. There was the “Game of the Century,” an NCAA basketball matchup between the UCLA Bruins and Houston Cougars. The unstoppable Bruins—led by Lew Alcindor, who would become future Los Angeles Lakers great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar—had a 47-game winning streak that

The 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans was originally scheduled to take place this weekend, from June 13-14, but the world’s most famous, glamorous, and important sports-car race is just one of countless events delayed due to the global pandemic. And while the French endurance classic won’t complete its 88th running for real until September

Rogue Sport: the very name suggests an impishness layered on top of a bad boy persona. Nissan introduced the Rogue Sport to the U.S. for the 2017 model year. It is sandwiched between the larger Nissan Rogue and the entry-level Nissan Kicks. The spunky Kicks has only been available in North America since 2018, and

David Freiburger has been a busy (rumble) bee while working from home, and he’s uncovered even more automotive treasures. The lifelong hot rodder and off-roader has amassed such an impressive collection automobilia, parts, tools, and cars that it was all too much to show you in one installment! Dive in for another journey with Freiburger

Anyone who buys a Mercedes GLE SUV instead of the luxury pinnacle GLS can be forgiven. The midsize GLE is a big step up from the compact GLC crossover, while the gap from GLE to full-size GLS—the S-Class of SUVs—is not as gaping. I last drove the GLE 450 during judging for the 2020 MotorTrend

Volkswagen doesn’t offer the T-Roc or T-Cross here in the U.S., and now it’s debuting another stylish small crossover that will likely remain forbidden fruit on our shores. The Volkswagen Nivus will launch soon in Brazil and other markets in South America. Measuring 168 inches in length, the Nivus about the same size as subcompact

Getting a docent-led tour of a museum can offer so much more insight than you might get just wandering the galleries on your own. Getting to tour a private collection led by its owner is an even more exclusive and educational experience, and that’s excactly what the Petersen Automotive Museum is offering this Sunday, May

Big, gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs are so passé. What the world wants now are big, electric trucks and SUVs. Just look at the Tesla Cybertruck or upcoming GMC Hummer EV. Or even this beast: the AmorTruck. Designed and rendered by Milen Ivanov, the ArmorTruck looks like the lovechild of the Tumbler from the Dark Knight trilogy

Big, ostentatious trucks and SUVs are back—like it or not. With General Motors resurrecting Hummer as a GMC-badged electric vehicle and Jeep reportedly dusting off the Grand Wagoneer name for its flagship SUV, the Blue Oval appears to be digging into its own archive and bringing back the Excursion from the early-to-mid 2000s. That’s if

If you think exceeding your local speed limits by 5 or 10 mph is living on the edge, well, you’re practically asleep compared to one Michigan driver who was just ticketed for going 110 mph over the posted limit. As reported by MLive, the driver of a 2016 Dodge was clocked by a stationary Michigan

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program of dream machines with a break into the real world—where millennials wrangle underwhelming paychecks against a mountain of student debt, high rent, and the necessity of car ownership. Enter our showdown of lovable, affordable SUVs. Sure, there will be compromises—what do you expect from a car that costs “just”

Honda’s reputation for building uncommonly well-engineered affordable cars can trace its roots back decades, and the brand’s fans will point to different eras and claim supremacy for each. The truth is, almost every Honda product upholds this perception, and the fourth-generation Civic is no exception. It may even be one of those Hondas that fanatics

Last October, there was online drama about a Tesla Model S being defeated by a Porsche Taycan Turbo S in a drag race. In response, Elon Musk tweeted about increasing peak output in Model S and X Performance by 50 horsepower. Now, roughly five months later, the software update that includes that bump in power—firmware 2020.12.5

We like the Hyundai Kona. In 2019, we named it a finalist for SUV of the Year. Since adding it to our long-term fleet shortly thereafter, we’ve called it “really fun” at the test track, found it an excellent—for its size—moving vehicle, and taken a road trip to the Rockies, where we learned it’s a

The accepted number of 1969 Dodge Daytonas produced in total is 503. No doubt, the 1969 Daytona ranks high on the desirability scale. The sole reason for the car’s existence is due to NASCAR’s homologation process in 1969. If it wanted to race its cars, Chrysler had to produce 500 road-going examples. In civilian trim, there

The 2020 McLaren 765LT is quicker, lighter, and even sexier than the 720S on which it’s based. Oh, and as you’d expect, it’s also more expensive, as we now know from official pricing released by McLaren. The newest “Longtail” (that’s the LT in the name) carries a price tag of $358,000. Of course, the 720S isn’t

The rugged, two-door 4×4 is a fast-fading vehicle format. Jeep’s Wrangler has kept it alive, though, and now it is joined by the return of Land Rover’s Defender SUV, which is available in two-door “90” guise. (The Defender 110 is the four-door model; similar to Jeep’s Wrangler Unlimited.) At first blush, the Jeep Wrangler and

Organizers have canceled the North American International Auto Show scheduled for this June in Detroit, as the TCF Center (formerly Cobo Hall) becomes a Federal Emergency Management Agency temporary field hospital in the effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Dates have been scheduled for the next Detroit show in June 2021. “Although we are disappointed,

We’ve seen all kinds of “tiny homes,” but this incredibly, wood-lined one doesn’t feel so small thanks to its clever use of space and materials. Also, it’s actually a school bus—so it’s not really that tiny, and combined with its excellent execution, it has just about everything a camper could need for you to live

You’re looking at “Brown Sugar,” a 1983 Chevy C30 dripping with nearly as much early 1980s nostalgia as Stranger Things. This was built for the 2019 SEMA show by River City Rods of Davenport, Iowa, a shop that was only founded in 2016. As you can see, they figured things out pretty quickly. This is

For many overlanders and off-roaders, modifying their SUV or truck is half the fun—I know this full well, as I’ve watched my wife turn her Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid into a light-duty overland expedition rig. But modifying any vehicle (not to mention assuming you know better than a team of highly skilled automotive engineers) can be

Most PowerPoint slide shows are a real snooze. Not this one that reportedly shows Toyota’s future product timeline, though. Credit a snitch at a recent dealer conference who snapped this pic, which reveals the launch timeline for several of our favorite Toyotas, as well as news of two new crossovers. Surprised? According to the sleuths

Aston Martin has a very new, very powerful 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 on the way, and here’s a closer peek at it. Like a proud parent, the marque released a slew of photos of its in-house designed and hybrid-capable engine that will make its debut in the 2022 Valhalla. The engine’s codename, TM01, is a tribute

In Los Angeles, the Petersen Automotive Museum is a go-to destination for us staffers at Automobile, and there isn’t one of us who hasn’t wiled away an afternoon there immersed in all it has to offer. While the museum is understandably closed until at least the end of March, it hasn’t taken long for it

It’s long been known that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles plans to move the ancient Dodge Grand Caravan minivan to the back burner, and let the van fade into the sunset and leave the Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager as the group’s only minivan options. Well, vanatics, that day is here. Will the Dodge Grand Caravan live to see the
