After making a big splash at Europe’s EICMA motorcycle show in 2022, the Honda XL750 Transalp has been given the green light for U.S. sales. The mid-size adventure bike has not been sold in the North America since the mid-1980s, but with the class gaining tremendous popularity here it would be foolish for Honda to
The Toyota Sienna is one of our favorite vans, narrowly eking out a victory in our hybrid hauler comparison against the Chrysler Pacifica last year. Despite the mid-level acceleration, Toyota builds a “sporty” XSE trim with upgraded suspension for drivers who like a box that can corner. In our 2021 test drive we found it
Many corners of the automotive world are still in shock over the recent launch of Toyota Century SUV. So it’s understandable that amidst the hubbub one might have missed the fact that Toyota teased a convertible Century SUV during flagship’s unveiling. It flashed on screen for just a few seconds, but it was there, clear
The popular Subaru Outback is one of our favorite SUVs, so our interest was piqued when it debuted with a new face in Japan. Normally that means we in the U.S. would see the refresh on American-market Outbacks in a few months, repeating a pattern that we saw for the 2021 update of the Forester.
Ebikes seem like a relatively new creation, but this year marks 30 years since Yamaha invented the modern electric bicycle. Coinciding with the occasion is the motorcycle maker’s debut of a new ebike motor designed for urban commutes. News of many automotive-branded ebikes from the likes of Jeep, Hummer, Audi and Harley-Davidson cross our desks, but
The current Buick lineup is fairly bland, consisting solely of amorphous crossovers in small, medium, and large. Fortunately, the brand is showing signs of life at the General Motors design studio with new products like the Envista, and where designers have envisioned (no pun intended) a large, boxy vehicle that looks like a Kia EV9
The Nissan Altima is often considered a consolation prize for those who can’t get a Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. That reputation may not be entirely deserved, but years of low APR offers under Carlos Ghosn’s market share-at-all-costs regime have resulted in an easily meme-able vehicle. Well, you may not have the Nissan Altima to
Volkswagen has posted a mysterious video to social media showing a rabbit — the animal, not the car. It’s fluffy and white and has two long ears. Could this be a sign that the Rabbit name — which VW used to sell the Golf in North America — will return? The post was accompanied by
When auto manufacturers stopped using the standardized DIN head units, the aftermarket audio scene pretty much died. It’s no longer so easy to mix and match off-the-shelf components if the stereo is integrated into a larger infotainment system. However, Toyota has created a concept van that hearkens back to the glory days of audio competitions
The Mitsubishi Mirage, the car that everyone loves to hate, might not be long for the U.S. market. Reports have it exiting stage left by the end of 2025 with no successor in the works. The compact has the ignominy of being the cheapest new car available in the U.S., with an MSRP starting at
