2021 Toyota Mirai: Major improvements to a niche machine
/
/
comments
The 2021 Toyota Mirai is a good machine with an extremely limited market. It’s a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. And right now there are not a lot of places to fill it up. It’s only available for sale in California, in fact. But if demand for hydrogen rises and supply rises to meet it, Toyota…

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,…

2022 Infiniti QX55 – First Look

/
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…
