| Chevrolet Silverado Special Ops Concept Would Be Difficult to See if It Were a Century-Old Boat |
Nov 4th, 2015 |
|
The defining feature of the Silverado Special Ops concept, which is based on the Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 pickup, is its naval-inspired camo exterior finish. Developed more than 100 years ago, the tri-tone blue “Razzle Dazzle” finish uses a distinctive array of varying color lines and shapes that are intended to help disguise a ship’s speed, […]

| 2016 Lexus IS200t F Sport Test: Better, If Still Somewhat Short of Its Potential |
Nov 4th, 2015 |
|
Our world shifted a little on its axis when the then-new 2014 Lexus IS350 F Sport bested a BMW 3-series and a Cadillac ATS in a three-way comparison test. Could it be that Toyota’s serene luxury brand had, finally, fully embraced the sports-sedan ethos? Perhaps not, as subsequent tests of other IS variants left us […]

| TRD Turns Camry XSE into Camry S-E-X |
Nov 4th, 2015 |
|
Toyota has TRD’d all the unlikely things for its 2015 SEMA show display, including the Corolla, the Avalon, two Siennas, and this car, the sexy SEMA Edition TRD Camry. Yes, we called a Camry sexy. It’s a brave new world, especially when SEMA is involved. Like most of the SEMA Edition TRD models, the Camry XSE–based […]

| Toyota SEMA Edition TRD Land Cruiser Is a Thing |
Nov 4th, 2015 |
|
Here’s a stat that will likely make you feel old: The Toyota Land Cruiser has been on sale in the U.S. since 1957. Number of years it missed due to model changeovers or regulatory hurdles? Zero. Comparing the raw-and-ready early models to the current Land Cruiser, however, is a bit like comparing a box cutter […]

Nov 4th, 2015 |
|
As much as Hyundai’s brand reputation has improved tremendously from its early days of peddling disposable cars like the Excel at rock-bottom prices, it’s still tough to compete in the luxury arena with a mainstream-brand name. That’s exactly what Hyundai has been trying to do with its Genesis and Equus sedans, but now the company […]

| Blood Type Racing’s Hyundai Veloster Turbo R Is a 500-hp Demon |
Nov 4th, 2015 |
|
Tricked and treated Hyundais are not uncommon at the annual SEMA show, and this year is no exception. One of the coolest Hyundais gracing the 2015 SEMA show floor is perhaps the baddest-ass Veloster ever (except maybe for this one). It was created by Chicago’s Blood Type Racing, the same group that brought us the insane BTR […]
