  1. The first generation of the Acura NSX was a 1990s supercar that represented mechanical purity. It had the chops for the track, but introduced comfort to the supercar set. Moreover, it was simple, with a mid-engine layout and a naturally aspirated 270-horsepower V-6 engine. Acura brought back the NSX for 2017, and the second-generation car could...View the full article
  2. The 2018 Acura RDX is a compact crossover that might be getting a little long in the tooth but remains an above average blend of value, sophistication, and safety. Accordingly, this semi-luxury crossover scores a 6.8 out of 10 on our scale. (Read more about how we rate cars.) This RDX dates back to the 2013 model year, albeit with a few updates to...View the full article
  3. The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover may be the definition of capability. It’s cool, calm, collected, and composed on any sort of terrain—from rocky trails to curvy canyons. The Range Rover is one of our highest-rated vehicles at 8.6 out of 10 overall. (Read more about how we rate cars.) With a nameplate dating back nearly 50 years, the...View the full article
  4. The sheer number of cars destroyed by hurricanes Harvey and Irma in 2017—by some estimates totaling north of half a million vehicles—resulted a boom for both new and used car sales. That's hardly unexpected. The disaster-driven sales are already virtually non-existent, however, having occurred over a shorter-than-usual time frame. As a...View the full article
  5. Once the nameplate synonymous with American sedans, the 2018 Ford Taurus is once again Detroit’s forgotten four-door. This full-size sedan, offered in SE, SEL, Limited, and SHO trim levels, features fewer engine options for 2018—its sixth model year since a refresh and its ninth since a clean-sheet redesign. The Taurus earns a 4.8 out...View the full article

  8. Survey: Appraising your trade-in online makes for a smoother haggling process Nearly three-quarters of new car buyers go online to get an idea of what their trade-in vehicle is worth prior to going to the dealership, and almost two-thirds of those estimates are accurate, according to a recent survey conducted for Automotive News. In other words...View the full article

  10. The 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage remains what it’s been since its launch five years ago: a minicar used as family transportation in many less-affluent markets that’s been adapted to entry-level U.S. commuter-car duty. It is offered in three trim levels: the base ES, the mid-range SE, and the high-end GT. Overall, we give the Mirage lineup...View the full article
  11. The Continental GT returns for 2018 with a reduced lineup of only convertibles as a new coupe is due to arrive as an early 2019 model. The V-8 engine is dropped, leaving only the W-12. We rate the 2018 Bentley Continental GT a 6.8 out of 10 for its timeless appeal as a luxury grand tourer with lots of power, a hand-built feel, all-wheel-drive...View the full article
  12. What’s a full-size sedan to do when it’s not supposed to be a luxury car? The 2018 Kia Cadenza tackles that big-car conundrum with grace and finesse, even if it doesn’t have a definitive answer. It has luxury features, big spread-out space, and softly tuned handling, and that makes it a less expensive and better car in some ways...View the full article
  13. Apple: Self-driving cars shouldn’t need a map According to a recent patent filing, Apple’s engineers are working on a self-driving navigation system that uses sensors to determine which route to take, with no reliance on stored or downloaded maps. 2018 Mercedes-Benz G Class Review The 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a soldier in a...View the full article

According to a recent patent filing, Apple’s engineers are working on a self-driving navigation system that uses sensors to determine which route to take, with no reliance on stored or downloaded maps. In other words, Apple is attempting to develop a 21st century equivalent of the cliched man-who-refuses-to-ask-for-directions. According to...View the full article
  15. The 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a soldier in a business suit. This boxy SUV icon has survived volatile fuel prices and war zones for more than 40 years, but a new model is just around the corner. For now, the G-Wagen, as it’s affectionately known, is available in G550, G550 4x4², G63, and G65 forms, all of which are way more SUV than...View the full article
  16. Lexus slices 2018 RX 450h hybrid price The 2018 Lexus RX 450h is nearly $7,500 cheaper to buy this year than it was in 2017. However, good deals usually come come with a caveat and the 2018 RX 450h is no exception. 2017 Porsche 718 Review The Porsche Boxster and Cayman are no more—sort of. For 2017, the duo picks up a new first name along...View the full article
  17. The 2018 Toyota Mirai is a four-seat mid-size four-door sedan powered entirely by hydrogen, making it the company’s only full zero-emission vehicle. It’s sold only in areas of California where hydrogen fueling stations exist (about three dozen as of January 2018), so it’s limited to travel within the radius of that network. The...View the full article
  18. The 2018 Lexus RX 450h is nearly $7,500 cheaper to buy this year than it was in 2017. However, good deals usually come come with a caveat and the 2018 RX 450h is no exception. The RX 450h hybrid now lists for $46,690, including a mandatory $995 destination charge. That figure puts the most efficient Lexus crossover at just $1,025 more than an...View the full article

While the company had previously estimated losses averaging nearly $500 per car, new revelations place that figure closer to $9,000. On every car. Leasing...View the full article
  20. The safest cars of 2018 The safest new cars have a few things in common: they're well-outfitted with safety gear that can help prevent a collision, they have exceptionally strong structures, and they are easy for drivers to see out of.

Almost 3,500 Aston Martin DB9, DBS, Rapide, Virage, and Vanquish luxury cars will be recalled to address a transmission park pawl that may not engage correctly, which could lead the vehicles to...View the full article
  23. Uber’s Chinese rival just raised $4 billion As turbulent as 2017 was for Uber, 2018 looks set to start off even worse for the maligned company, as China’s Didi Chuxing says it raised over $4 billion from SoftBank Group in yet another round of funding. The large injection of cash makes Didi the world’s second-largest startup, with...View the full article
  24. The 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata is the most traditional sports car available today. With its nimble handling, frisky feel, Italian-inspired design, and reasonable fuel economy, its only compromises are those expected from a sports car in the vein of MGBs and Triumphs: utility and relatively limited safety features. The 2018 Miata scores a 6.6 out of 10...View the full article

The large injection of cash makes Didi the world’s second-largest startup, with a valuation of $56 billion, and over $12 billion...View the full article
