Our first test of the 250-series Land Cruiser shows its off-road capability. In Australia, there’s an old saying: “If you want to go into the bush, take a Land Rover. If you want to come back, take a Land Cruiser.” It’s hard not to frame the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser that way. This is a […]

With fake shifts and fake engine sounds, the 2025 Ioniq 5 N will change performance EVs forever. We hope. Let’s cut to it: electrons have won the go-fast arms race, but exactly zero performance EVs have strummed enthusiasts’ heartstrings. Not the Taycans, Teslas, i4s, or Sapphires. We’re awed by EVs’ raw power, thrilled by their

The 671-horsepower sports car is more appealing with less roof. “Think of all the money you’ll save on therapy!” That’s what my brother said when I bought a Miata. It wasn’t anything special—a 2010 Grand Touring with the all-important limited-slip differential—but it was a soft-top convertible, and it was mine. A 2,800-mile road trip proved

Aston Martin’s 700-horsepower SUV is heavy on the supercar and light on practicality. I wouldn’t want it any other way. The monochrome orange glow of street lights fills the cabin as my lover and I wait to enter the West Seattle bridge. When the light turns green, I gently pull my hand from hers and

We lapped Porsche’s 1,000-plus-horsepower EV. It’s a friendly beast. I’m too narrow into Circuto Monteblanco’s turn two. Lars Kern, Porsche’s factory development-driver ace in the car leading me around the track, pulls away. No matter, though. Tug at the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT’s right-hand steering-wheel paddle and you unlock Attack Mode, which gives you 1,019

With 149 miles of range and a $34,095 price tag, the 500e might make sense as a second vehicle. Affordable electric city cars haven’t caught on in the US. It’s a shame, because if you live in a large city like Miami where traffic is unrelenting, public transportation is piss-poor, and most things are just

It’s not a hard-core off-roader—but the Maverick Tremor is pretty capable for a unibody truck. The Ford Maverick is a breath of fresh air, a welcome reprieve from the hulking, high-priced trucks that are all too common these days. Ford’s pint-sized pickup is no bigger than a compact car and it only costs about $25,000

With Land Cruiser bones, a powerful V-6, and excellent tech, the new Lexus GX550 is the off-roader of your dreams. You wanted the new Lexus GX to be good. I wanted the new Lexus GX to be good. And folks, it is good. The appeal of a Toyota truck has always been great off-road capability

It’s not sporty and it doesn’t need to be. The E450 was made to cruise. You know, there’s still something to a good sedan. It’s becoming a lost craft, with all the rigamarole surrounding crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. Or even the super-ification of every sedan left on the market. The joy of a luxury sedan—emphasis

Why buy a bZ4X when this exists? Without a Toyota badge on the nose, you might trick your friends into thinking this sleek five-door is something more exotic. But it is, indeed, the latest Prius, one of the best-looking cars Toyota has ever produced. A single arching line connects the front fascia and bumper, giving
