Mercedes-Benz Metris: Cargo vans are cool!
/
/
comments
The Mercedes-Benz Metris leaves me wanting a cargo van. The Metris starts at $32,585 and makes for a great #VanLife platform. Sure, it doesn’t seem like a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine would be enough for adventure, but 258 lb-ft of torque available down low is nice and punchy. A Metris would be an awesome weekend-warrior camping…

/
/
comments
The saying says “Don’t meet your heroes” but it’s not always correct, as this 2001 Acura Integra Type R so deftly proves. This is the best front-wheel-drive car, ever built. Acura loaned me a museum-quality Integra Type R for a full week and it’s the most nervous I’ve ever been with a press vehicle. The…

2021 Lexus LC500 Convertible – First Drive Review
/
/
comments
The 2021 Lexus LC500 Convertible is a drop-top work of art. Sure, we prefer the coupe version because it’s nice having a roof over one’s head, but it’s hard to argue with the NOISE the Convertible lets in. That noise comes courtesy of a 471-horsepower 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine. And it helps push both…

The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is WILD …yet easy to drive? It’s a 760-horsepower American muscle machine that can corner. There’s tremendous noise, wicked speed, and, well, a ton of swears. Seriously, if you’re offended by swears, you might want to skip this one… Yes, it’s okay to be upset that you can’t get…

/
/
comments
This is a 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S. It’s the electric Porsche and the EPA says it has a surprisingly low range. Everything I hear about the car says that’s not the case. So I borrowed one to see for myself… and I took the car on a nearly 200-mile beer run to three different Southern…

An electric daily driver is looking like a better idea all the time. One of the best ones on the market right now is the Hyundai Kona Electric. The battery pack is a 60-kWh unit and it provides the motors with enough juice for an EPA-estimated range of 258 miles on a full charge. And…
