2019 GMC Sierra Denali and AT4 First Test: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

There are two things GMC would very much like you to know about the new Sierra. The first it’s shouting from the rooftops: The Sierra is no longer a photocopy of the Chevrolet Silverado. The second it’s showing rather than telling: There’s a 2-inch lift and an “AT4” badge, which loosely translated from marketing-speak means […]

2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty King Ranch Long-Term Verdict

“It’s the truckiest truck that ever trucked.” I’ll never forget those words, as they are how I ended my speech about our 2017 Truck of the Year, the Ford Super Duty, live on stage inside the baroque Theatre at the Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles during the Motor Trend awards gala. That year’s Truck […]

2018 Ford EcoSport Titanium FWD First Test: Slow Motions

Let’s get one thing out of the way: The 2018 Ford EcoSport is not a performance car and is not even interested in having fun. This subcompact crossover is made for A-to-B transport. Some folks are OK with that low bar. But can the EcoSport even accomplish that modest task? Testing director Kim Reynolds found […]

2018 Range Rover Velar R-Dynamic SE I-4 First Test

Despite both my parents having careers in the fashion industry, the fashion gene appears to have skipped me. My approach to fashion mirrors my attitude toward just about everything from cars to cuisine—KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Yet even I can appreciate the game-elevating styling the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar P250 R-Dynamic SE […]

2019 Volvo XC40 R-Design T5 First Test: Image Reboot

Some luxury automakers are known for making such small design updates on their vehicles that many people won’t even notice a change. Not Volvo. Starting with the XC90, Volvo has transformed itself from the brand of the quirky professor type to a brand recognized for modern technology and daring design. The new XC40 is the […]

2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 2.0 First Test: Ready for the Wilderness

Most crossovers share their underpinnings with traditional cars, and their capabilities only go as far as a dirt road leading to a campsite. What if you’d like to go farther?

2018 Cadillac ATS 2.0T vs. 2018 Ford Mustang EcoBoost: Premium Performance

With mainstream automakers offering luxury-laden trims while prestige car brands attempt to democratize luxury, we organized four comparison tests to see who does posh better for a capped price of $40,000. We ask our vehicles to be good for multiple uses, but few are asked to do such disparate duties as luxury sports cars. They […]
