Genesis GV80: A Real-Deal Luxury Flagship SUV
/
/
comments
Genesis is carving out its own unique brand identity, and it’s doing it with fresh looks, well-built machines, and actual luxury. The flagship for the automaker is the new GV80 SUV and it’s here to fully compete with German and Japanese offerings. We sample a very nicely equipped GV80 3.5T with its 375-horsepower engine and…

Jeep Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel: Oil-burning off-road excellence
/
/
comments
Jeep has given the Gladiator a diesel mill, and I’m here to tell you it is good. The 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 cranks out an okay-ish 260 horsepower, but it also clatters forth with 442 lb-ft of torque. Jeep had to give this a beefier 8-speed gearbox to handle the grunt. But is it all worth…

Dodge Durango Hellcat: The best all-around Hellcat of the bunch!
/
/
comments
The Dodge Durango Hellcat is the best of the Hellcat bunch. It’s actually the one that makes the most sense. Albeit, in a group of vehicles that make little sense. That’s because it’s a seven-passenger SUV, which is comfortable, can tow 8,700 lbs, and also happens to have a 710-horsepower engine under the hood. Yes,…

comments
Infiniti dropped the 2022 QX55 off at my house for a visit so I could check it out. There was no driving allowed but I was able to crawl around it a bit and take in the styling. I’m not sure this one is for me, but I can’t make a full opinion on it…

2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R – Last Roar of a Legend
/
/
comments
The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R is a wicked machine. There’s a flat-plane-cranking 5.2-liter V8 engine under the hood making 526 horsepower, tremendous noise, and perfect emotions. Put your right hand down and you’ll find a real-deal manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. And spits out that power through a set of…

2021 Ford F-150 5.0 V8 – First Drive Review
/
/
comments
Ford’s cash cow workhorse has entered a new generation. The 2021 Ford F-150 has landed and we finally got a taste. This is the 2021 Ford F-150 packing 5.0-liter V8 heat, and it’s one damn fine truck. It’s also pricey and it’s far from the top rung of the trim ladder. Is it worth it?…

Audi E-Tron Sportback: Just get the normal looking one… | Review
/
/
comments
I like the Audi E-Tron. Even after spending 60 hours in one, going from NYC to LA, I still like the E-Tron and would love to have one as a daily driver to replace my wife’s Mazda CX-5. Audi has another version of the E-Tron out now though, and it’s called the E-Tron Sportback. This…

Ford F-250 Tremor: I don’t get it…

comments
Big trucks can be fun. Off-road-ready trucks are tons of fun. Combining those two ideas should work well, right? Two rights don’t keep the party rolling, it seems. At least not for the Ford F-250 Tremor. This is a big-ass truck. The Ford F-250 is large and quite capable. Under the hood of my lovely…

Audi RS6 Avant: It’s good, but it’s not the only option
/
/
comments
The Audi RS6 Avant is forbidden fruit on our shores no more. We finally get the chance to sample Audi’s lightning-quick longroof, and it’s a damn-fine machine. But is it the best option out there in its segment? The $117,00 (as-tested) wagon has loads of style, charm, and performance on tap… but it might not…

2021 Chevy Suburban Diesel! – First Drive
/
/
comments
The redesigned 2021 Chevrolet Suburban has arrived with some new engine choices. Initially, it was a pair of gas-drinking V8s, but now a diesel-sipping six has arrived. This is our first time behind the wheel of the 2021 Suburban packing Duramax heat. There’s a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbodiesel engine under the hood. And it’s a…
