| The Long, Long Goodbye: Final Land Rover Defender Rolls Off the Line |
Jan 29th, 2016 |
|
You’d be forgiven for thinking that production of the Land Rover Defender ended some time ago. After all, the old-school 4×4 disappeared from the U.S. market in 1997, at which point it was already a relic. And we’ve seen multiple auto-show concepts of its replacement, as the company and its designers wring their hands over […]

| How We’d Spec It: The RS-Kicking-est 2016 Ford Focus RS |
Jan 29th, 2016 |
|
Let’s face it: Folks buying all-wheel-drive, turbocharged hot hatchbacks (and sedans, we aren’t forgetting you, Subaru WRX STI!) aren’t doing so because it’s logical. After all, spending nearly $40,000 on what to most people will appear to be an ordinary compact car could be seen as unhinged, especially considering the far more powerful Ford Mustang GT and Chevrolet […]

| Tesla Model S P90D Test: The Quickest Production Sedan Ever? |
Jan 29th, 2016 |
|
Tesla’s product architect, Elon Musk, must have been watching a Mel Brooks marathon on TNT when he picked “Ludicrous Speed,” straight out of Spaceballs, as the tag for the fastest acceleration mode in his Model S P90D. And indeed, one must have balls from outer space to fully exploit this car’s launch performance. To sort […]

| 2017 Acura NSX Super Bowl Commercial: This Redo Is Red, White, and Blue [Video] |
Jan 29th, 2016 |
|
If any car in recent memory deserves a relaunch, the 2017 Acura NSX is it. Years of similar-appearing concept cars and waiting made it easy to fall numb to the—very cool and quite slick-driving—production car that trailed Acura’s initial go-ahead for a resurrected NSX by five years. And then the ’17 NSX finally landed at the 2015 Detroit auto show just to […]

Jan 28th, 2016 |
|
Don’t laugh—people actually buy Smart Fortwos, and the way Smart structures the car’s option sheet, those folks are encouraged to delve deep into the catalog of personalization accessories. Indeed, only the base-spec Fortwo Pure trim level offers any real limitations on optional goodies—you can still pick from a dizzying array of colors for the body […]

| Aluma-Diesel: Ford F-150 Pickup Spied Rolling Under Diesel Power [Video] |
Jan 28th, 2016 |
|
Ford made some pretty decisive moves with the development of its 2014 F-150 pickup, touting its aluminum construction and twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 engines as the fully modern combo to beat in power and efficiency for half-ton pickups. But when the inevitable questions about the “D” word—as in diesel engines—entered the discussion, the manufacturer had little […]
