Savage On Wheels

No car is perfect, but the luxurious full-size Lexus LS 500h sedan wants to be, and edges closer to it with each iteration.

Toyota has created a market of one, as Crown is unique.

Already the top-selling Subaru, the compact crossover Crosstrek just keeps getting better. Crosstrek is a fun small family crossover with fine ride dynamics and a bargain price.

VW’s Atlas delivers a lot for a reasonable cost and with its peppy new engine and upgraded interior it remains a sophisticated contender.

Running the Supra hard down a highway entry ramp is a perk you seldom get with a larger vehicle. And with these looks, people notice.

The performance is strong, and the luxury level gadgetry and gizmos excel in the Mercedes Benz GLE.

Certainly no car is perfect, but the Z4 delivers power, handling and luxury features at a reasonable price, before options.

Subaru has jumped back to the front of the market with Impreza, especially since AWD is standard and its new styling is much fresher than previous Subie designs.

For performance and smooth quiet driving, electric can’t be beat. But for long-range hauling and budget considerations, gas or hybrid models still make a lot of sense.

The electric SUV is dizzyingly fast and does look pretty sharp, considering it’s an SUV and will do an estimated zero-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. That’s gas-powered Mustang coupe-type muscle.
