| The Redesigned Ford Police Interceptor Utility Is Here to Haul Stuff—TO JAIL |
Feb 12th, 2015 |
|
Who thought we’d ever be scanning and braking for Ford Explorers, the darling mommymobiles of the 1990s and 2000s? Nowadays, this still-popular family SUV is the bestselling new police vehicle—yes, more even than the Taurus Interceptor, Dodge’s Charger Pursuit, and Chevrolet’s Caprice/Tahoe PPVs. Ford recently brought the Explorer in for a comprehensive 2016 update, and so we’re going […]

|
Bro-hug it out, Volkswagen fanboys: No wicked Golf R Variant, super-diesel GTD Estate, or butch Golf Alltrack is coming here, probably ever.

| 24 Hours of LeMons (Sweet Home) Alabama: The Winners! |
Feb 12th, 2015 |
|
Our second annual trip to Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham featured even better cars and more exciting racing than 2014’s ‘Shine Country Classic. The struggles for Class A and Class B were hard-fought all weekend, while the Class C winner was so spectacular that we were cool with it winning with a 90-minute margin over […]

| Chevy Keeps It Simple with New 2015 Silverado 1500 Custom |
Feb 12th, 2015 |
|
While the economic recovery and low gas prices have boosted sales of chrome-drenched execu-trucks—so, basically luxury cars with beds—there’s a temptation to forget that many folks who buy full-size pickups still want to use them as, you know, trucks. For these people, Chevy has introduced the 2015 Silverado Custom package, a back-to-basics hauler that adds […]

| Chrome If You Want To: Ram Launches Super-Shiny New Laramie Limited |
Feb 12th, 2015 |
|
What’s the best way to make a shiny new truck even shinier? Chrome, of course. Ram decided that its flashiest Laramie Limited trim level wasn’t flashy enough, so the boy-sheep brand has covered the thing in enough chrome to make it the most reflective vehicle since Justin Bieber’s mirrorlike Fisker Karma. Besides its bedazzled appearance, the Limited’s grille—like […]

| 2016 Chevrolet Equinox Debuts with New Cosmetics and Gadgets |
Feb 12th, 2015 |
|
Here’s a statistic that until now had escaped our attention: The Equinox is the second-bestselling Chevrolet in the North American lineup behind only the nearly ubiquitous Silverado pickup. (In the U.S., the Cruze also outsells the Equinox.) We shouldn’t be too surprised; after all, the compact-crossover segment is one of the hottest going. But while […]

Daydream with us for a minute. Imagine you’re fabulously wealthy, enough to put your behind in the driver’s seat of your very own $845,000 Porsche 918 Spyder. Then imagine you and your daydream Porsche are in Finland of all places. And further, imagine it’s winter. Finally, cap it all off with the fantasy that you somehow laid your hands […]

| Watch Jay Leno Take a 775-hp Porsche 911 GT2 for a Spin |
Feb 11th, 2015 |
|
Magnus Walker is a legend among fans of air-cooled Porsches. Alex Ross’s SharkWerks gives modern water-cooled Porsches downright nasty power levels. When the two joined forces on a 2008 911 GT2, they created something that’s simultaneously traditional and outlaw. It’s 100 percent bad-ass, and Jay Leno got to take it for a ride. If you’ve […]
