A Return To Rugged Ridge
/
/
comments
The phrase, “It’s a Jeep thing you wouldn’t understand” is one we have all heard, and to a point understand, but have you ever deep dived into the Jeep culture? Even just for a short time? A recent trip to Atlanta to visit Omix-ADA (i.e. Rugged Ridge) gave me a taste. In a fairly short…

Power above absolutely all else: The Vauxhall Monaro VXR500
/
/
comments
I have always maintained that great joy can be derived from a car with moderate roadholding limits. In a low-strung car, your excess of exuberance is swiftly met by tyre squeal and body roll – the magic is found in finding the limit and staying there. It’s the old maxim of ‘slow car fast’, and…

Range Rover Evoque Convertible: Who is it for?
/
/
comments
Land Rover has created …something interesting. It’s called the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. It’s a drop-top version of Land Rover’s compact SUV, and it comes bearing 2.0-liter turbocharged power under its hood. It also has Terrain Response, a halfway decent wading depth for a mall crawler, and a few other bits and bobs that show…

Overdue reappraisal: The Mitsubishi 3000 GT
/
/
comments
“The 3000GT offers a rather detached driving experience and is simply too big and bulky to feel as truly agile and involving as a sportscar should” The words of Autocar there, in its August ’92 review of Mitsubishi’s heavyweight high-powered projectile. These are words that I first read as an eleven-year old, and came to…

Quick Spin: 2014 Nissan 370Z – long in the tooth but surprisingly great
/
/
comments
People talk a lot of shit about the Nissan 370Z. It relies on an antiquated powertrain, doesn’t boast any of the tech that do the current crop of offerings, and it sits on a platform that’s going on a decade old. Not that it ever lit the world on fire when it was new, the…

Used Car Review: 1995 Land Rover Discovery V8 5-speed
/

comments
This morning we revealed that of the more than 120 cars that Hooniverse writers have owned, a Land Rover Discovery wasn’t one. While we can’t rectify that by just randomly buying one, Ross did take a quick spin in one. -KK There’s something inherently charming about a two-decade-old big British four-by-four with a V8 and a…

Quick Spin: 2016 Jeep Cherokee Overland 4×4
/
/
comments
Jeep says that the Grand Cherokee is made of the best stuff they have, or something like that. I would agree. Having reviewed several versions of the Grand Cherokee, I loved them all, and I would own one if it was available with third row seats. There is something that just makes the Grand Cherokee…

Here’s a quick look at the new 2017 Audi Allroad. It’s our German friends longroof answer to the crossover question. Here for the new model year, Audi has swapped in a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four cylinder engine, which is now good for 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The ride height is slightly raised.…

Quick Spin: 2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo

comments
Save the manuals, they say! I’d buy it if it was stick, they scream! I would buy the stick model if it came with power blah and leather blah! I would buy it, but it doesn’t have a turbo! I would buy it, but the price is too damn high! Well, Nissan just took all…
