2017 124 Fiat Spider Abarth vs. 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club
 
The new 2017 Fiat 124 Spider Elaborazione Abarth and 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club Sport are the best antidotes for the coming onslaught of autonomous vehicles.

No lane-departure controls, no adaptive cruise controls, no cross-traffic alerts, nor blind-spot information systems. Say "hell no" to automatic braking systems. Autonomy? We don't need no stinkin' autonomy. The Fiat 124 Spider Elaborazione Abarth and the Mazda MX-5 Miata Club are cars to drive, not to be driven in.

2017 Subaru BRZ First Drive: If It Ain't Broke, There's Not Much To Fix
 
On Fuji's full circuit, bathed in harrowing swaths of foggy blur, the BRZ's immediacy is on showcase. Fast, sweeping turns seem to spawn suddenly as the course reveals itself, demanding precise inputs, quick chassis response, and hyper-vigilance.
