Andi HedrickCar and Driver In realigning its sedan range for the 2020 model year, Cadillac has updated the CTS and recast it as the CT5 to better target the BMW 3-series’s segment. At the same time, the previous ATS essentially has evolved into the CT4 to serve as an entry-level price leader similar to the […] More
The 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S achieved a 2.4-second zero-to-60-mph time in Car and Driver testing. It also raced through the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds at 130 mph.

A mountain of plowed, icy gunk at the base of a driveway? Pfffft. Freezing rain on snow-packed roads? Tougher, but hardly a problem. It helps that we fit the Ram with […] More
French cars traditionally have served up rather unique driving experiences through novel and funky solutions to engineering problems, soft suspensions, and, more often than not, futuristic designs. For Peugeot, however, its styling efforts have devolved into downright boring cars since the elegant, Pininfarina-styled 405 it last sold in the United States in the early 1990s. […] More
We’re all familiar with the concept: Your favorite restaurant revamps the menu, removing everything delicious and replacing it all with more expensive, less satisfying fare. “Come on in.
