Resistance is futile — especially when profits are involved.

Is it possible to ignore a Rolls-Royce?

Our economy is built on the backs of hard-working entrepreneurs and business people who need a hard-working vehicle to get stuff done.

Some vehicles come with a built-in fan club that you automatically join as soon as you roll off the lot. Think of it as a common thread between automotive outliers: groups of people different from the crowd but alike to each other in terms of their unusual choice of transportation, a gathering of individuals who were inclined to put their dollars down for reasons not necessarily listed on a window sticker or spec sheet.

Half-ton pickup trucks are big business for American automakers. These workhorses consistently rank as the most popular vehicles in terms of sales in North America year after year.

Whether you’re hauling a bed full of building material or towing an overloaded trailer, be it across the country or just to a neighboring county, “You’ve got enough to worry about,” said Rod Romain, chief engineer of the Ram Heavy Duty pickup range.

It takes just one look at the McLaren to understand that it’s special. This 720S Spider is not only focused on being the prettiest thing around, but it’s also designed to be the most engaging yet easiest to drive supercar out there.

What comes to mind when you think of the Toyota Corolla?

When Nissan debuted the 2018 Leaf in Japan, it said that there would be a longer-range version coming. Now, just over a year later, the longer-range version is here. But there’s more to the Leaf Plus than just increased range.

The BMW 2 Series is a balanced vehicle that can be had with an automatic or manual transmission, rear or all-wheel drive, and either as a coupe or convertible.

Take an exotic supercar around a track and it can feel like you’re just holding on for dear life. Far from domesticated, these cars do what they want, with jittery energy that can be hard to control if you’re unprepared.

With its big grille and slim headlights, you might think the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe looks like a few other high-end luxury cars that have similar design cues. But with its mellow driving dynamics and clean cabin, the Hyundai Santa Fe might actually meet your expectations if you mistook it for something more premium.

Volvo’s latest-generation S60 sedan has just come online alongside the new V60 wagon variant. Think “S60 wearing a backpack” and you’re in the ballpark.

The Ford Expedition is one of the last few body-on-frame SUVs out there, but it’s also among the best. With a platform that’s shared with the more premium Lincoln Navigator as well as a similar engine, the Expedition may be your budget bet. Here’s a quick take on this pretty impressive new SUV.

Nothing about the new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer makes much sense to me. The name, the design, the price, and the mission are all out of sync with what is actually presented: a reasonably competent crossover.

Suffer for fashion. It’s the aphorism that sees bloody feet stuffed into pointy heels, girdles, and corsets wrapped around protesting waistlines, and crossover roofs slimmed down to the point where they resemble the thorax of a particularly bulky wasp.

Utah is an improbable moonscape of impossible beauty.

All my daughter wanted for her 10th birthday was to take a trip to Phoenix to visit her baby cousin. Because I’m a pushover, I booked the plane tickets and secured what I hoped would be a fun car to drive while we were away – the 2019 Hyundai Veloster N.

The fun Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST left critics and buyers impressed, but what happens when the Ford Performance folks tackle a crossover? The results are mild, to say the least.

The Nissan Maxima is hard to ignore, even as SUVs and crossovers steal headlines away from once-popular sedans. But sedans still exist, and there are plenty of reasons to pick one up, especially if it’s the attractively styled and enjoyable to drive Maxima.

If you’re shopping for a three-row crossover, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING and go check out the Chrysler Pacifica.

A front-drive hatchback versus a rear-drive sports car? We’re not crazy.

It should come as no surprise that a nearly $150,000 flagship luxury sedan is a bit of an exotic, and unrelatable. Every day in the Alpina B7 was a rollercoaster of emotions and opinions. The first day was full of excitement and interest but on the last day, I was left a bit confused and isolated.

The  BMW M5 gives you so much to talk about, from its slick executive design to the fancy all-wheel-drive system to the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 that makes 600 horsepower. But what might matter more than any of that is whether the car comes together cohesively with its own personality.

Gone are the days when we walked into a truck dealership to buy a basic truck with a basic V8 engine, a basic cloth laden interior, a basic truck bed and tailgate, and, you guessed it, a basic suspension system.

Honestly, I never expected to like the new Ford Ranger.

Crossovers, crossovers, crossovers. This term has to be the most common automotive related catchphrase of 2018. Yet the folks at Nissan have been using the term for over 15 years when the first Murano was introduced.

You know how you used to drive the Mazda CX-5 and think, “This is really good, but it could use a little more power.” Now it’s got a little more power. And you were right, it’s better.

“Convoy B, stop ahead.”

The Toyota Prius has been the front-runner in the hybrid space for decades now, but faced with increased competition, it was time for this popular car to learn a new party trick.

Everyone seems to have a story or memory about the BMW 3 Series. DTM racer Timo Glock shared with us that he recently purchased a 1988 3 Series, a special edition model, because it reminded him of his father’s Alpina White E30, a car that he remembers growing up in.

For someone new to the suburban desert, it’s a strange place. An endless loop of beige with the occasional flash of grass greener than anything you’ll see anywhere else in the world.

I recently discovered a delicacy that I consider a culinary masterpiece at a local restaurant: It’s called Frito Pie.

The BMW 3 Series is the sports sedan that supported a whole brand and launched an entire market segment, with countless of other automakers chasing that perfect blend of luxury and fun that the 3 always managed to perfect.

Midsize truck sales are booming, and pre-accessorized trucks sell faster and with more margin than their regular counterparts. Chevrolet knows this, which is why you can now get its Colorado ZR2 off-road truck upgraded with parts from American Expedition Vehicles.

Today’s small crossover segment in which the GLC competes is a murderously competitive and crowded field, filled with offerings from all sides of the automotive spectrum.

Don’t look now, but superheroes have infiltrated our cars. But this Jeep Wrangler doesn’t have the gadgets to be considered Batman or Iron Man, and I’m not sure it could be considered Superman or Thor. Instead, it’s easier to see it as Spider-Man.

The three-row crossover segment is always a competitive one, and while some automakers, like Subaru and Volkswagen, are bringing out whole new models, other companies find themselves refining and perfecting these family-friendly vehicles.

The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the automotive equivalent of stunt casting. Stuffing a 707 horsepower supercharged V8 under the hood of, well, anything is roughly analogous to tapping in The Rock to take over Robin William’s role in the inevitable remake of Mrs. Doubtfire, a move so outrageously over the top that it’s going to draw attention whether it succeeds or fails.

The GS F is Lexus’ sportiest sedan, a large four-door that offers unexpected performance and versatility.

If you’re wondering why Honda chose to use the Insight badge instead of the Civic Hybrid one for its latest compact hybrid, you aren’t alone.

Pickup trucks are supposed to have V8 engines. For the longest time, they did. But as other powertrains became more efficient, V8 engines have been moved to the wayside in many applications in favor of smaller, more fuel-efficient engines. That trend has moved to the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado.

The new Mercedes GLE is a revolutionary jump for the brand — not only does it feature all the things that make the brand great, but it even goes above and beyond that.

Best selling doesn’t always mean best in class.

Supercars are like David Copperfield or David Blaine. They’re the cars that people expect a certain flair from. See them, drive them, and come away impressed that something can be so… fantastic. They’re also masters of misdirection and stardom.

Automotive shoppers across the board are more demanding than ever, and even in the affordable subcompact crossover segment, brands are having to pull out all the stops in order to draw buyers in their direction.

Every year, the story is the same around this time of year: “prepare for winter, the snow is coming.” And we all hunker down and get our cars ready for the slippery weather. At first, the roads get covered with a fluffy pretty blanket of snow but then, it’s chaos: ice covers the roads, snow banks block paths, and plows completely forget certain roads. But dedicated drivers endure, and experience pays dividends.

It seems like every pickup out there has a huge hurdle to clear if they want to be deemed successful.

Despite sharing a love of costumes, sweets, and the end of October, Halloween and the Day of the Dead are remarkably different in their treatment of death.

People stared, mouths agape.

There’s really nothing new about the Subaru BRZ, it’s basically the same as when it debuted roughly six years ago. So why even bother reviewing the recently introduced tS model?

Winds of change are starting to blow. Lincoln’s new Navigator is the transformative product this struggling luxury automaker has needed for years.

Usually, a Formula 1 course is full of sporty, lightweight, agile speed machines, but this week, the Bahrain International Circuit is home to the heavy and large but light on its feet 2019 Porsche Panamera GTS.

There are no fewer than 16 variants of Porsche’s Panamera available in the U.S.

The MINI Cooper lineup got some refreshes for the 2019 model year and while the 2019 MINI Cooper S Convertible is as cute and playful as ever, it isn’t perfect. Here is a quick overview of the pros and cons of this fun little car.

Has anyone else noticed how intense the truck market is right now? Trucks and SUVs are selling at astonishing rates, as evidenced by the fact that streets and freeways are full of the monster-sized vehicles.

Electric vehicles aren’t for everyone.
