Only about 1,000 examples of Ford’s mega carbon-bodied mid-engine 800-plus horsepower Mustang will be built, and like the GT that came before it, Ford will only let you buy one if you have enough social media clout. If that isn’t exclusive enough for you, Ford will let you option a new Performance Package to give … Read more
If you’re like me, you may be still mourning the end of production of the Ford Focus RS. It was legitimately one of the best hot hatches ever made. Its short 2016–2018 run meant not many people got a chance to get their hands on one, and high dealer markups didn’t help. Now, over five … Read more

The Tesla Cybertruck may get all the attention, but if you’re actually going to be hauling anything, for example, you’ll have a far easier time reaching into the Lightning’s … Read more
Back in 2014 I was stuck with a Jeep Compass rental as a complimentary “upgrade” from the original subcompact I booked at National. To this day I have never driven a more miserable machine. The 2 liter four-banger and CVT made for an absolutely awful drivetrain that buzzed and protested anytime I came near the … Read more
