10,000-Mile Update There comes a time in life when you have to acknowledge your shortcomings. And as our 2020 Kia Telluride SX AWD passes the 14,000-mile mark, that time for us is now. Try as we might, we are unable to find much to criticize about our moss-green Kia long-termer. Maybe that’s not considered a […] More
Marc UrbanoCar and Driver As demand for sedans declines due to consumers’ infatuation with high-riding SUVs and pickup trucks, there are two cars that continue to crusade against the impending takeover.

Spawned from Mercedes-Benz’s popular GLC-class compact luxury SUV lineup, the high-performance 2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S coupe pegs the absurdity meter in nearly every metric.
