/
comments
The vehicle pictured here might look like a pickup truck but it isn’t. It is a sedan. It is a proper large American luxury sedan, a true descendant of land yachts from decades ago. Really, it is. Like those land yachts, it has huge amounts of interior space. That space is filled with incredibly comfortable…

(Not So) Rotten Rental Car Review: Nissan Murano
/
/
comments
The last rental car I had from the very same Enterprise facility was a straight-jacket-white Dodge Journey that smelled like a dirty sock. One that had been misplaced for 25 years, filled with Cheez-Wiz, and left out in the sun. As such, it was reasonable to go in with low expectations. The line of Sentras…

The McLaren 720S is technically fantastic, a marvel for the eyes, and …totally fine chugging along about town. But we’re not going to do that last bit today.

/
/
comments
We’ve adored the cars even when they arrive with faults. That ends now, because there’s nothing to overlook anymore. The 2019 Aston Martin Vantage is the best car the British automaker has ever built. Sure, a handful of credit is owed to technical partner AMG for making this so.
