Powder, Dirt, and Debauchery: BMW X4, Mercedes GLC and Porsche Macan   Snowflakes danced in our headlights' path as we wound our way up the dark mountain. By morning, the Taos Ski Valley was frosted white -- the type of day that skiers and snowboarders who descend on this alpine-forested sliver of the Land of Enchantment dream about. It served as a fitting starting point for our 750-mile journey across the Southwest in a trio of Germany's newest crossovers: the BMW X4, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Porsche Macan.   READ MORE           Sweden's New King: Koenigsegg Regera Prototype Review   READ MORE

2017 Chrysler Pacifica Review

#noboringcars     CAR REVIEWS NEWS & RUMORS CAR BUYING GUIDE AUTO SHOWS MAGAZINE SUBSCRIBE

2017 Chrysler Pacifica Review Don't Call It a Comeback. Or a Minivan. Pacifica is back. Priced more competitively ($29,590 through $43,490) it's a minivan that's kind of pretending -- with shorter overhangs, a wider, taller stance, less glass, optional 20-inch wheels, and optional four-wheel-drive -- to be a kind of crossover. But make no mistake, with the convenient electric sliding side doors -- now foot-operated -- improved Stow-N-Go seating, and all that gear in the rear to keep the peanut gallery entertained, we are deep in the competitive, feature-laden heart of minivan country.

Chasing V-Max In A Bentley Continental GT Speed

#noboringcars     CAR REVIEWS NEWS & RUMORS CAR BUYING GUIDE AUTO SHOWS MAGAZINE SUBSCRIBE

Chasing V-Max in a Bentley Continental GT Speed As the Bentley nears 200 mph I focus solely on its fundamentals: steering, engine, brakes, and the view ahead. Suddenly, it feels race-car basic in here. The hand-made, leather-lined cabin is long forgotten. The two-lane Australian public road stretching out ahead of me is straight, but its surface is uneven. Each dip causes the wheel to kick back and the car's line to drift. Nerves make me want to strangle the rim, and it's a conscious effort to keep my grip loose. The throttle requires the same constant attention to hold wide open. The noise and the sensation through my backside tell me that the 626-horsepower, 6.0-liter W-12 engine is starting to labor, so I must be getting close to 206 mph, or whatever the Continental's top speed is in these conditions. My gaze is fixed out through the bug-flecked windshield, and I have no desire to follow my progress on the dials. I ought to be able to see 3 miles to the horizon, but there's a solid heat haze in front of me, so it looks like I'm constantly approaching a crest. The pilot of the helicopter overhead tells me the road is clear, but my instinct for self-preservation would prefer visual confirmation. I'm also hyperaware of the brake pedal because I would very much like to use it. GET A BETTER LOOK HERE WITH MORE PHOTOS AND DETAILS Really? The Return of the Rotary?

Tesla's Model 3

#noboringcars     CAR REVIEWS NEWS & RUMORS CAR BUYING GUIDE AUTO SHOWS MAGAZINE SUBSCRIBE

Meet The Tesla Model 3: Elon Musk's EV For The Masses The Tesla Model 3 is a car eager prospective owners have been plunking down $1,000 deposits for sight unseen, and lining up for the opportunity to do so. It's a car that could forever change the way the masses think of electric vehicles. It's a car Tesla is betting its future fortunes on. To say that the Model 3, which was just unveiled to the world Thursday by Tesla CEO Elon Musk at Musk's SpaceX facility in Hawthorne, California, has been the most anticipated car of 2016 isn't hyperbole. And that's just the way Musk wants it. In many ways, Tesla has become the Apple of the auto industry and Musk its Steve Jobs. It's a company -- an American one -- that has built hype and buzz for its cars that few others in the car business have ever been able to achieve.
