There’s a new alpha dog in the “affordable” Porsche pack, and it has four doors. Porsche will unveil the newest Panamera in their lineup at Geneva, and its plug-in powerplant will make all factory Porsches but the outrageous and limited-availability 918 tuck their tail and run. With 680 hp and 626 lb-ft of torque – the most powerful factory Porsche ever, other than the 918 … Continue reading Powerful Porsche Panamera Packs A Punch
Most people expect a Lamborghini to be over the top these days. The more wings, angles and edges it has the more fans seem to flock to it. So it was a bit of a surprise when the Huracan came out and it was a relatively staid, reserved design. Reserved in Lamborghini design terms that is. Italdesign’s Automobili Speciali division will fix that for five … Continue reading Italdesign Winging Its Way To Geneva With New Limited Lamborghini
Chevrolet is expanding its Redline design models to cover basically every model they sell. The appearance package first debuted at SEMA in 2015, but now it’s coming to nine new models. Every Redline machine comes with a few similar features like black badges, black grilles, black wheels, and black model names with red outlines. Basically a lot of black, and a splash of red. Beyond … Continue reading Chevy Goes Special-Edition Crazy With Nine Redline Edition Models
While used Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other supercars are currently holding strong resale values, other marques represent the opportunity to buy a pre-owned car with low miles that is only a few years old for a much lower price than purchasing one with only delivery miles on the odometer. Manufacturers have been creating Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) programs for a few years now, cashing in on the … Continue reading Timeless Program Makes It Easier To Drive Away In An Aston Martin
We all know Dodge’s formula for spicing up their car and truck line by now. Lift the hood, cram as much engine under there as you can and then launch it out into the world. Dodge’s 2018 Durango SRT follows that same formula, and this one will be something to be reckoned with in the race to get home after soccer practice. By shoving the … Continue reading 2018 Dodge Durango, Land-bound Cruise Missile Built For Seven
It’s been years since the Ford Expedition really got a complete overhaul. Sure, they’ve freshened it over the years. They’ve added a little tech and wrapped it in different sheet metal since it first came out, but it hasn’t really changed all that much. Until now, that is. Ford rolled out the all-new 2018 Ford Expedition at the Chicago Auto Show and showed what the … Continue reading Finally, A New Ford Expedition For 2018
You’ve heard it before from me, but I’ll say it yet again. I have a weakness for wagons. It may be the previously mentioned ’77 LTD station wagon. Then again, maybe it’s that my parents traded a Pinto wagon for that LTD. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the love is there regardless of its origins. That’s why I was excited to … Continue reading Pricing For 2017 Volvo V90 A Sweet Surprise
The 2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2 might just be the performance bargain of the decade. That may seem a little asinine to say when talking about a midsize truck with a starting price of $40,995, but here me out. The closest competition is the Tacoma TRD Pro, which starts at $42,960 with the automatic transmission. The Colorado is far better equipped as well thanks to class … Continue reading Chevy’s Colorado ZR2 Is The Cheapest $40k Truck You Can Buy

With Gran Turismo languishing in the corner, Forza Motorsports has been reigning supreme in the console simulation racer category. But last year, we got the impressively beautiful and technically complex Project CARS from Slightly Mad studios to bring some competition back into the market. It matched Turn 10s offering on visuals and physics reproduction, but it was a little light on cars and tracks. Now … Continue reading Project CARS 2 Is Coming This Year
