I’m a big fan of the Kia Stinger, so much so that I think it’s one of the best vehicle introductions of the last decade. It was wonderful: a four-door sedan with GT-like proportions and a liftback powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine — and you could have it with all-wheel drive. Unless you spent … Read more
I don’t know about anyone else, but I love a good sleeper car. It’s always hilarious to slap other drivers in the face with power and performance from an otherwise innocuous car. More than a few automakers have given us factory sleepers before, and two sleeper models from Cadillac are getting too cheap to ignore … Read more
VinFast is having a pretty brutal time right now, but that hasn’t stopped the nascent Vietnamese automaker from being optimistic about its future. Sure, it managed to have a $650.1 million net loss in the last quarter of 2023, and sure it sold fewer than 35,000 vehicles all of last year, but that isn’t going … Read more
A couple weeks ago BMW unveiled the new 5 Series Touring, which will be offered in fully electric i5 guise for the first time — but no version of the 5 wagon will be sold in the United States. Now we’ve got yet another EV wagon tease, this time from Volkswagen. The German brand just … Read more

There were four generations of President from 1965 to 2010, the latter two of which were sold in … Read more
Today’s Nice Price or No Dice Volvo offers a turbocharged five-cylinder beneath its brick-like body for some decent scoot. Let’s see if its price isn’t too much loot. A Small and Overpriced (for Volvo’s Target Audience) EV is Coming Here’s a fun fact: the wiring harness in the Bentley Bentayga weighs in at a portly … Read more
2023 Kia StingerImage: Kia If you’re like me, you’re still mourning the loss of the Kia Stinger. With the Stinger gone, the EV6 GT is carrying the performance torch for the Kia brand. But if a new report out of Korea is to be believed, that torch is going to get passed really soon to … Read more
As much as Kia wants you to think its Carnival is a genre-bending vehicle, marketing it as an MPV with SUV styling and the space of a van, at the end of the day it’s really just a minivan. But we love minivans, and in my opinion the Carnival is the best you can buy … Read more
The Kia K5 is one of the best-looking sedans on the American market today. Much of the company’s lineup has been stellar since the introduction of amber DRLs with the Telluride, but the K5 may have been the best overall — sleek, distinctive, and modern without ever looking overstyled or obnoxious. But it was the … Read more
Photo: Ford They don’t build cars like they used to. It’s true. They’re safer, more fuel efficient and more reliable than ever before. These days, most cars are just getting started when they cross the 100,000-mile mark. They may require quite a few repairs to keep going after that point, but the days of cars … Read more
