“It was like a bomb,” Albert Biermann told me, describing one of the more, uh, experimental settings for the Hyundai Veloster N during its testing at the Nürburgring. Biermann runs Hyundai N, coming off of his old job running the alphabetically-adjacent BMW M. If anyone knows how to make a fully-realized performance…

I’m the only motherfucker dumb enough to drive an old VW Baja Bug in the middle of New York City. Volkswagen hauled their modern Baja, called the Dune Concept, to the potholed streets of Manhattan for a press drive. In spite of my previous assertions, they let me drive their hideously expensive one-of-one prepro car,…

The 2015 GMC Canyon looks like a miniaturized version of the full-sized Sierra, but the driving experience is a lot more accessible than any truck I've driven in any scale. GM's looking to lasso buyers who aren't sold on the "full-sized" experience, and they've got the perfect product to do it.

As it stands, GM dominates the full-size SUV market with the Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, and Yukon XL. Nice rigs, sure– but Ford might have finally figured out how to beat them. The 2015 Ford Expedition ditches the deadweight V8, gets a nice new interior, and is now my pick in this class.

The 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty is aesthetically similar to its predecessors; but "she's got it where it counts." Sort of. New for this year is a revised version of the 6.7 Power Stroke diesel that cranks out an ass-haulin' 440 horsepower and 860 lb-ft of torque– all the juice you can buy in this class right now.

The first thing you notice about this new 2014 Oldsmobile Cutlass S, complete with its six-speed manual, is the lettering. It's huge.

If you're not a huge fan out the outside world but are doomed to traverse it frequently, then our Jason Torchinsky is pretty sure GM talked to you about designing the new 2015 Chevy Suburban and its Yukon/Tahoe twins. It's big, quiet, and full of USB ports. If it had a bathroom you'd never have to leave.

Every onlooker gawks with obvious jealousy at the curvy rolling statue Aston Martin created and then, for some reason, loaned to me for a weekend. Jealous of what, exactly? I'm frankly terrified of having to dodge a million ankle-deep potholes and trying not to scratch the carbon fiber bumper against a cab. The Aston…

Local Motors has been building the Rally Fighter for a few years now. It's big, it's brash, it's powerful. It's really everything you'd want in your ultimate offroading vehicle. And it's everything you imagined it would be, and more.
