First Drive: 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1368115200
The Fullsize Pickup, Refined No one's underestimating the importance of the all-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. While General Motors continues to shovel the current generation off dealer lots at an impressive pace, it would be too kind to simply say the old mule has started to show its age. The ...

First Drive: 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo 1367942400

Loses its Head, Keeps its Bespoke Cool This is the 10th anniversary of the Bentley Continental GT, the 5,500-pound (2,500 kg) shim that pried open the market for bespoke luxury costing over six-figures. We're into the second generation of the supercoupe that is still – and we think ...

Latest, Greatest Autobahn Bomber Will Not Be Denied – Except To Us Back in 2008, I was fortunate enough to test the second-generation Audi RS6 Avant in southern France on the supremely well-sorted circuit at Le Castellet, a.k.a. Paul Ricard. I was thrown out there with the 572-horsepower ...

First Drive: 2014 Jaguar F-Type 1366214400
Stepping Into The Lion's Den With A Big-Hearted Cat If you're like me – and our demographics suggests you are – you've probably never seen a new Jaguar sportscar at your local showroom. I'm 36, and it hasn't happened in my lifetime... and not by a little bit. Oh, there have been a ...
