Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance is a teleportation machine on four wheels
/
/
comments
You’re here, and then you’re instantly over there when you’re driving the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance. That’s what happens when you have over 1,000 horsepower being put to the ground seemingly effortlessly. What a wild machine, this thing is… [Disclaimer: Lucid sent over the Air and tossed us the keys. They also gave us…

comments
If you’re going to put a badge that says TrailSport on a vehicle, it better perform in the dirt – and the 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport is a step in the right direction for this sub-brand. [Disclaimer: Honda tossed us a keys to this Pilot and included a tank of fuel.]

Ford’s V8-powered 2023 Raptor R is the current super truck king
/
/
comments
Like with hilariously overpowered SUVs, the recipe of throwing massive power and absorb-anything suspension at an enormous pickup makes for a silly and enjoyable meal, albeit rather gluttonous and best served in small doses. Perhaps it’s a good thing then that there aren’t many options: Only the Hellcat-powered Ram TRX and “Predator”-powered Ford Raptor R…

2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD: Review
/
/
comments
As an automotive journalist-type person I probably get asked about which three-row SUV is best more than any other segment. Two options continuously end up in my top five, the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade. As you can see from the links, I have driven both of them previously, but for the 2023 model…

2023 VW Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition: Review
/
/
comments
The R-badged version of the Volkswagen Golf is turning 20 years old this year, which means they launched the Mk4 R32 way back in 2003! It was always a bit of an odd duck in the VW lineup sitting above the GTI and featuring a bigger engine and AWD. For the 2012 model year the…

2023 Kia EV6 GT Quick Review
/
/
comments
EVs have been experiencing what the kids call a “glow up,” and public perception of electric cars has changed drastically even since I sampled the 2022 Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD last year. This comes thanks in part to the extreme performance of vehicles like the Tesla Model S Plaid and Model 3 Performance, Lucid Air,…

2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Review: Complete and utter madness
/
/
comments
The 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is one of the most irresponsible vehicles on sale today, and that’s meant as a compliment. Nobody needs to transport themselves and five passengers at the rate this thing can, and the consequence of a wildly shouty 6.2-liter supercharged V8 making 710 horsepower in a vehicle that weighs 5,575…

Ford Bronco Everglades – Small Engine, Big Capability!

comments
The Ford Bronco Everglades may be “stuck” with the smallest engine in the family, but it’s packed with the right upgrades to go anywhere. From the snorkel and increased wading depth to the 35″ tires and available winch, the Bronco Everglades is ready for battle. [Disclaimer: Ford tossed us the keys to the Bronco Everglades…

2023 Honda Accord Touring – Still Daily Driver Perfection
/
/
comments
There’s something comforting about an old favorite that’s familiar to us. It could be going to a local restaurant that hasn’t changed its menu in thirty years. It might be heading out on the same family vacation to the same spot you’ve gone to for twenty years. Good and simple things that make us happy…

Volvo V60 T8 is a longroof sleeper dream machine
/
/
comments
The Volvo V60 T8 Polestar Engineered is one of my favorite cars that you can buy. It’s a gorgeous wagon. It has 455 hp. And it can cruise silently when you want to thanks to the strong PHEV powertrain. This thing rules, and I want one… [Disclaimer: Volvo tossed me the keys to the V60…
