| John Phillips: Detroit Gave the World Freedom, Literal and Figurative |
Sep 26th, 2014 |
|
I live in a locale where it is fashionable—maybe mandatory—to excoriate the federal government for pretty much everything, from bark-beetle infestations to the “pernicious” pasteurization of milk to the disappearance of well-managed whorehouses where you could smoke before and after, well, anything at all. One particularly incendiary conversation starter is the government bailout of Chrysler […]

| Is Justice for Kevin Ward, Jr. Justice for Tony Stewart? |
Sep 26th, 2014 |
|
Grief makes you do—and say—things you might not otherwise. So do lawyers. Shortly after an Ontario County, New York, grand jury declined on Tuesday to charge Tony Stewart in the death of Kevin Ward, Jr., the 20-year-old sprint-car driver tragically killed when he walked into the path of Stewart’s car on August 9, the Ward family issued this statement: “Our son got out […]

| 2015 Porsche Cayenne S Driven: Now with Twin-Turbo V-6 Power |
Sep 26th, 2014 |
|
You probably already know if you want one of these or not. After all, Porsche’s Cayenne, first introduced in 2002, continues to be the most polarizing SUV since Suzuki’s X-90. Some of us around here have a soft spot for the X-90 and are rather shocked by the high residual values for the things. Used […]

| How We’d Spec It: The Most Hawkish 2015 Jeep Cherokee |
Sep 25th, 2014 |
|
Remember when Jeep introduced the all-new 2014 Cherokee as a replacement for the body-on-frame Liberty, itself a descendant of the rugged (and boxy) original Cherokee? Jeep fans accustomed to solid axles, tough frames, and roll bars were damn near rioting in Toledo over the Cherokee’s soft, squishy crossover-ness. Today, Toledo still stands, having avoided perhaps […]

| The Continental: Sorry, No Retro Volkswagen Bus On the Horizon |
Sep 25th, 2014 |
|
Each week, our German correspondent slices and dices the latest rumblings, news, and quick-hit driving impressions from the other side of the pond. His byline may say Jens Meiners, but we simply call him . . . the Continental. While I was abroad, my colleague Matthias Knödler visited two Volkswagen events for me that I […]

| Refreshed 2016 Ford C-Max Hybrid and Energi Plug-In Debut (Kind Of)! |
Sep 25th, 2014 |
|
In 2012, Ford brought a pair of hybridized mini-minivans to the U.S. in the forms of the C-Max and the C-Max Energi. Sold elsewhere in the world under the same C-max banner but with available gas- and diesel-only powertrains, the hybrid-only strategy here is an attempt to take the fight to Toyota’s Prius brand. (A […]

| 2015 Subaru Impreza Photos and Info: Stepping Out of the WRX’s Shadow? |
Sep 25th, 2014 |
|
We have a whole lotta love around here for Subaru’s Impreza-based and turbo-wild WRX and STI. Be that as it may, the base Impreza sedan and five-door are more, well, quietly competent. For 2015, Subaru has given its Imprezas a midcycle update that probably won’t change too many hearts and minds here at Car and […]
