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?

You’d never crack peanuts with a sledgehammer. Why should you daily-drive a BMW M4?

Matt Becker is the chief of vehicle engineering at Aston Martin. Needless to say, he played a critical role in bringing the British brand’s all-new Vantage sports car to market.

While handing me a plate of pan-fried fungi, the mustached, silver-haired proprietor of the Portuguese eatery we patronized for lunch said to me with a certain pride in his authoritative but subdued voice, “You have to write that Aston Martin brought you to a restaurant with the best mushrooms in the world.” I wouldn’t have taken him up on this editorial suggestion if he weren’t right.

“Who wouldn’t love a baby NSX?” Those were the words of Emile Korkor, brand leader for Acura, and we agree. Who wouldn’t love that?

The Honda S2000 was an excellent sports car that followed a pretty long lineage of fun cars from the Japanese brand, but don’t expect it to make a return. 

Before the VW Golf GTI ushered in a new era of practical cars that were fun to drive, the only way to get any thrills behind the wheel was either very expensive supercars or cheap and cheerful roadsters from Britain, Italy, or maybe even Japan.

Several years ago, I decided that I wanted to head in a very different direction when it came to participating in high-performance driving events and time trial competition. I parked my modern, 400-horsepower sport sedan and picked up a 1978 Datsun 280Z with the goal of transforming it into a reliable and fun track car.

Even though the internet has already christened Toyota’s upcoming sports car the Supra, this name is not actually set in stone.

IMSA helped make boxy cool.

Because the 80s!

Of course any new Porsche 911 GT3 is going to be spectacular, but is it as good as earlier generations? We drive the new 2018 and 2004 back to back to see how this racecar for the road has evolved.

The closer the 2017 Honda Civic Type R is pushed to its outer limits, the sooner it becomes clear that this car is something special.

BMW and Toyota are jointly producing a new sports car, but contrary to popular belief, the BMW model will not be called the Z5.
