2018 Buick Regal TourX first drive: slightly rugged, very muddy The 2018 Buick Regal TourX is a muddy vehicle. Not just because it is aimed at the hiking boot-wearing active-lifestyle set that marketers covet. Motorcyclist sues GM over crash with self-driving car In a case that could potentially set a landmark precedent, a motorcyclist is taking...View the full article

The 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe is here today, but it's anyone's guess about tomorrow. The three-row crossover by Hyundai may be losing ground to comparable offerings from other automakers such as the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot, both of which have ballooned in size to appeal to family buyers who are trending toward city buses. While a new Santa...View the full article

Few vehicles boast an image as crystal clear as the 2018 Subaru Outback—a wagon version of the automaker’s Legacy sedan that went to finishing school at Outward Bound. This year, a new competitor from a most unlikely source is eager to nab a few would-be Outback buyers. Enter the 2018 Buick Regal TourX, a German-built, German-designed...View the full article

In a case that could potentially set a landmark precedent, a motorcyclist is taking GM to court for its role in a 2017 collision between the rider and a self-driving Chevrolet Bolt EV. The vehicle involved is part of GM’s self-driving Cruise Anywhere ride-sharing fleet that it hopes will soon be available to members of the general public...View the full article

The 2018 Buick Regal TourX is a muddy vehicle. Not just because it is aimed at the hiking boot-wearing active-lifestyle set that marketers covet. Buick would like to see its new tall(-ish) wagon, which shares a nameplate, powertrain, and interior with the Regal Sportback hatchback, covered in dirt with outdoorsy accoutrements strapped to its roof...View the full article

The 2018 Infiniti Q50 is the automaker’s most popular vehicle and returns this year after a modest restyling and reshuffling of its trim levels. The major changes include new front and rear fascias, some light, stylish interior refinements, and a reshuffled trim lineup. These changes are enough to score a 7.0 out of 10 on our overall scale...View the full article

Nailing down the 2018 Infiniti Q70 is hard to do. It wears full-size clothes with a mid-size interior that can be stretched in a long-wheelbase version. It offers a choice among three engines—with available all-wheel drive for two of those—and is mated exclusively to a 7-speed automatic. It hasn’t changed in a while, and its...View the full article

The 2018 Infiniti QX60 is clear about its intentions, which is relatively refreshing from a luxury automaker. From the outside, the three-row crossover doesn’t hide its elegant interior with a plunging roofline or bulging fenders. Its big doors are designed for easy entry/exit, especially in the third row, and its big hatch is excellent in...View the full article

On looks alone, the 2018 Infiniti Q60 should insert itself into many arguments over a midlife crisis coupe. With 400 horsepower available, it should win some too. The two-door is back this year with the same shape that was new last year and a fairly high score on our overall scale. It earned a 7.4 overall, partly thanks to those looks, which are...View the full article

The 2018 Infiniti QX30 is a pint-sized crossover with eye-catching styling and a remarkably Teutonic personality. It’s tight inside and can get pricey with options, but the QX30 has its charms and thus rates a 6.2 out of 10 on our scale. (Read more about how we rate cars.) After bowing last year, the QX30 is unchanged this year. It’s...View the full article

It’s hard to call any full-size pickup an off-the-beaten path buy, but the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 comes close. The 2018 Sierra 1500 is a kissing cousin to the Chevrolet Silverado, but it brings more to the table than just chiseled good looks. With its blend of performance, panache, and, yes, style, the Sierra scores 6.7 out of 10 on our scale...View the full article

Compact crossover SUVs aren’t inherently macho, but don’t tell the 2018 GMC Terrain that. The new sport-utility vehicle from General Motors digs liberally into same parts bin as the Chevy Equinox, but adds creased metal, bigger fenders, and a tougher grille to stand apart. The Terrain is offered in SL, SLE, SLT, and top Denali trims...View the full article

The 2018 GMC Canyon is a mid-size pickup with aspirations for greatness. It comes pretty darn close to succeeding, in our eyes, so we’ve rated it a solid 6.0 out of 10. (Read more about how we rate cars.) Like its Chevrolet Colorado kissing cousin, the 2018 Canyon is on the small end for a pickup. But at nearly 19 feet from bumper-to-bumper...View the full article

The 2018 GMC Sierra HD is Western wear with starch. It’s based on the Silverado HD, but the GMC heads for the hills in terms of price and luxury appointments, based on its buyers’ preferences. Most models are four-door crew cabs with room for adults. Most of those are Denali models with luxury appointments you might expect from...View the full article

The 2018 GMC Acadia is a mid-size crossover with seating for up to seven that shoots straight for family-oriented buyers. The 2018 Acadia lineup does almost everything well, even if it’s more of a B+ student than an A-standout. We’ve rated it 7.0 out of 10, accordingly. (Read more about how we rate cars.) One thing that’s...View the full article

If you’re in the market for a five-seat compact crossover SUV, or at least some combination of those attributes, the 2018 Toyota RAV4 is almost certainly on your list. After all, it’s one of the best-selling cars on the road, a crossover as likely to be seen in Portland, Oregon, as it is Portland, Maine. It deserves its popularity, at...View the full article

The 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser is an archaic enigma. It’s certainly outclassed on-road by most of its rivals, and yet it’s something nearly all of us would park in our garages. We’ve rated it a 6.4 out of 10 overall, but there’s more to the 2018 Land Cruiser’s six decade heritage than just numbers. (Read more about how...View the full article

The 2018 Toyota Prius C remains the least expensive hybrid from the company that’s made more hybrids than any other. Now in its seventh and perhaps last year, the 2018 Prius C is a compact hatchback that’s the smallest of the four-car Prius lineup. For 2018, it gets some minor styling tweaks after a more comprehensive front and rear...View the full article

Fear not, buyers on a budget. There are good new cars available at low prices that offer reliable transportation with decent amenities. The 2018 Toyota Yaris could be one of those options, depending on the model. Why model? Because the Yaris is one name for two cars—the hatchback Yaris, and the unrelated sedan called the Yaris iA. Both fall...View the full article

As far as automotive reruns go, the 2018 Toyota 4Runner is one that we've watched for a while. Like "Seinfeld," its clothes are dated, but its themes manage to stay relevant even today. It earns a 5.7 on our overall scale. It's not a good pick for families looking for an around-town commuter, but it's a standout for weekend warriors looking for a...View the full article
