2023 Nissan Z: Really Good… But Not Great
/

0comments
The 2023 Nissan Z is a car that’s been a long time coming. This latest evolution of the Z car isn’t a complete revelation, however, as it’s more a massive improvement over the 370Z it replaces. This makes it a good car, but not a great one. [Disclaimer: Nissan tossed me the keys to the […]

The 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata brings out pure, joyous nostalgia. It reminds you of the adrenaline you experienced the first time you rode a bike without training wheels or drove a light, simple roadster with the top down. There’s no piece of the MX-5 pie that stands out as special, yet everything comes together to […]

The foliage had peaked, and it was a pleasant autumn evening. The sun was setting, and we were discussing the upcoming Halloween activities. We were at a typical cloverleaf highway interchange in Boston’s rush-hour Thursday traffic. I was in a line of vehicles inching up toward an exit ramp. Suddenly, I heard a bang, and […]

It’s always great when I get an email from Tim. You know, Mad Science himself. Also known as the co-founder of this here website. That’s because it’s usually about racing at Lemons. So I’m quick to respond with a “hell yes” and then think about the race even though it’s a month or possibly months […]

“How much is it?” is a question that I get a lot in this line of work. Something that most civilized people might think is uncouth, but once they find out I’m a journalist-type person doing a review, it’s one of the first things out of their mouth. For those wondering, this new Genesis G90 […]

The 2022 Acura NSX Type-S is an amazing goodbye

The 2022 Acura NSX Type-S is the last note of a song that didn’t resonate as much as it should have… and that’s a bit sad. What’s not sad, though, is the car itself. This one kicks ass, and more people should’ve bought these things. [Disclaimer: Acura tossed me the keys to the NSX Type-S […]

It’s pretty clear that the current-generation Ford Bronco is a hit. Ford can’t build them quickly enough (be it due to demand or supply issues), and the folks clamoring to get one all seem to love their machines. Our own Kamil Kaluski included, who has one as well.

Creating an EV typically means making it abundantly clear to everyone that it’s an EV at first glance. Whether that is done by penning a futuristic exterior, or adding some sort of over-the-top screen to the interior, automakers can’t seem to help themselves when it comes to making their EV stand out. Audi took a […]

The Montana-based team from GoFastCampers has a new product for you truck owners out there. And based on the footage and images I’ve seen of the new Truck Topper, it’s pretty damn well built. In fact, it’s overbuilt compared to the bed of your truck. To prove this, GFC had to reinforce the bed of […]

Lexus, once a purveyor of staid beige sedans has been on a streak of producing some adventurous stuff. A decade ago they brought us the LFA supercar, and ever since then it’s been […]

It can’t be that bad, can it? How wrong could VW have gotten it? Countless reviews said the center screen and HVAC situation was abysmal, but that must have been an exaggeration for entertainment’s sake, right? These were the questions swirling in my mind prior to taking delivery of the 2022 Volkswagen Golf R press […]
