The Maxima takes a more luxurious approach to its features and appointments while still trying to be fun to drive. Meanwhile, the Charger emphasizes power and performance moreContinue Reading
By Alex Leanse – MotorTrend Fourth gear, throttle wide open down the straight. A right-hander closes in ahead. Don’t brake yet … Now! The front end dips. Cut two cogs with the left paddle. Pop off the stoppers and toss the steering clockwise. Ease into the power. Feel the weightContinue Reading
By: Christopher Smith – Motor1 If this 2021 Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series was a gambling man, he’d say always bet on black. That’s because Lexus has well-and-truly doubled-down on black for this limited-production LC 500. Aside from a bit of interior and exterior trim, black is pretty much the order of the day forContinue Reading

With millions of units sold, it’s helped define the family-oriented crossover as we know it today. A full redesign for 2020 put the SUV on a rear-wheel drive platform with a choice ofContinue Reading
