As is tradition with all-new performance cars, someone has already strapped it to a dyno to see how much power it actually has. That someone is Paragon Performance with its all-wheel-drive dyno.

As I approach middle-age, I’m starting to wander from my typical daily driver fare of too-stiff hot hatches and sports cars. I recently bought a big SUV and unfortunately like it more than I expected to. I’ve had a few American luxobarges in my teen years, because they were cheap and easy, but as I … Read more
