– All we really want from any vehicle is for it to do its job well. It’s a deceptively simple criterion that guides our reviews of everything from burly off-roaders to thrifty subcompacts to ludicrously capable exotics. We’re hard-pressed to think of a vehicle that fulfills its mission better than… Continue reading
– It’s too early to know whether Tesla will amount to an entire chapter or a mere footnote in the annals of automotive history, but the company’s Model S will leave a record here at Car and Driver: We’ve embarked on our first full-length long-term test of a battery-electric car.… Continue reading
-There is strength in numbers, something you discover as a child when you commit some heinous offense against adult society and then try to blame your peers: “But everyone was doing it!” In my household, that protest was always met with the rejoinder, “If all the other kids decided to… Continue reading
-As the first “all-new” product to debut from the rechristened Lincoln Motor Company, the MKC has had a lot of eyes on it. Even though Lincoln’s compact crossover shares a great deal of its underlying mechanicals with the Ford Escape, that’s no bad place to start. Apparently, U.S. buyers agree… Continue reading
– As your mother probably warned you, there’s only one chance to make a first impression. And Audi was clearly determined that our initial experience with the new R8 would be a memorable one. – The invitation was simple, and there wasn’t any chance of us turning it down: Come… Continue reading

Entire stories are centered around straight-line acceleration, the effects of different tires on 707-hp muscle cars at the drag strip (okay, one 707-hp muscle car), and even prodding rental cars to their top speeds—in reverse. We interrupt that… Continue reading

It will happen to us all at one point or another. You will stop drooling over the latest Ferrari and be more realistic. You are going to have to start look towards the future. Some of you might already need a family car. You could be about to have your… Continue reading
-The Ram Rebel 1500 is not the brand’s response to the Ford F-150 Raptor. Nor is it a competitor for the scandalously lifted, mega-tired, hard-core rigs that can be caught prowling sand dunes or posing on the SEMA show floor. No, despite its defiant name, the Rebel is a wholly… Continue reading
