Well, she would if you consider Audi’s mid-size A5 hatch lineup as the beds, chairs, and porridge that little Goldie tries out during her ill-conceived breaking and entering. The A5 Sportback’s 248-hp turbo-four would undoubtedly be not quite enough, and the […] More
Is it yeehaw, yee-ha, or yahoo? Never mind, it doesn’t matter. Whichever rebel yell you prefer, it’s appropriate from the driver’s seat of the 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon, which continues as Ram’s high-riding four-wheel-drive monolith that’s been upgraded with both attitude and hard-core off-road hardware. HIGHS: Serious off-road hardware with a warranty, climbs hills […] More
It’s a dilemma. The truly desirable McLaren is the M8B that Bruce McLaren himself used in 1969 to slaughter that year’s Can-Am season. Or it’s the MP4/4 in which Ayrton Senna earned his first Formula 1 Championship, in 1988. Maybe you’d argue for the F1, the street-legal V-12-powered beast of the 1990s that anyone with […] More

Multiple reinventions in recent years and regular product reengineerings have brought about dramatic model repositioning as well. The CTS went from being a tweener betwixt established luxury segments as defined […] More
40,000-Mile Wrap-Up Around these parts—okay, in our heads—modern wagons park on the same pedestal as proper exotics. We hardly think twice when a Mercedes-Benz E-class sedan pulls up next to us at a stoplight. But an E-class wagon? That evokes pangs of envy and longing. In our mind’s eye, this wagon’s long-roof shape is the […] More
From the August 1988 issue of Car and Driver. Driving the Mercedes 300TE station wagon is like having Gregory Peck for your father. If you’ve ever seen Gentleman’s Agreementor To Kill a Mockingbird, you know what we’re talking about: a character of incorruptible morals, devoted family dude, solid citizen, conservative dresser, reliable as the sun, […] More
