The Dodge Hornet is priced and marketed as a compact SUV. In terms of dimensions, um, no. Outside, it’s 2 inches shorter in length than one of the smallest compact SUVs, the Mazda CX-5, and nearly 7 inches shorter than a Honda CR-V. It’s more like a large subcompact such as the new Honda HR-V.
At its most basic, Goodwood Revival is a long weekend worth of car races featuring cars made before 1970. There are lots of those, though, including some pretty great ones all over the world. But nothing is like Goodwood Revival because it’s so much more than “just” vintage car racing. First, you have to look
The Goodwood Revival is primarily a celebration of vintage racing. Various race cars from the earliest days of motorsport through the 1960s are invited to compete throughout three days at the Goodwood circuit in southern England. Attendees are encouraged to and, in some cases, required to wear vintage clothing from the 1940s, ’50 and ‘60s
You don’t see too many ordinary cars in automotive museums, and it makes sense. Rare luxury models, iconic muscle cars and obviously collectible vehicles are far more likely to get preserved and find themselves parked upon a climate-controlled pedestal someday. And yet, even if they may not be as collectible, everyday cars typically strike a
The original Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class had one of the smaller cargo areas among compact luxury SUVs, but as my luggage test proved, it had a lot more than its rinky-dink 19.4-cubic-foot cargo volume would suggest. As I’ve subsequently discovered, that would be because Mercedes measures cargo volume to the top of the back seat, whereas most
Pros: Top-notch interior in most trims; whisper-quiet diesel; useful MultiPro tailgate; SuperCruise availability; responsive handling Cons: Rougher ride than competitors; no hybrid or electric option (yet) The other American truck makers may still get more attention and accolades, what with their Raptors and Lightnings, TRXs and impressive coil-spring suspensions. There’s frankly more to get excited about.
BEND, Ore. – America’s most popular type of electric transportation in 2022 was not a car, it was bicycles. Electric bike sales surged past 1.1 million last year, up from 880,000 the year before. There were only about 800,000 electric cars, SUVs and trucks sold last year. At the same time, e-bikes are expected to
Pros: Hybrid and PHEV are efficient and fun; sharp styling; lots of standard tech; top safety scores Cons: Some of that tech is frustrating to use (especially the nonsensical HUD); less back seat space than some rivals When it comes to the 2024 Lexus NX, it’s all about the hybrids. Available as the NX 350h regular hybrid
I’ve now been doing luggage tests since late 2019, which amounts to an awful lot of cars at this point. Most of those tests are still valid since, as you’ll see below, relatively few have been replaced by a next generation or new model (at least for now, obviously). I figured it was finally time
Pros: Unique plug-in hybrid; versatile Stow ‘n Go seats; great entertainment features; good looks Cons: No cheaper base trim; top trims and Hybrid are really expensive; less-comfy second-row Stow ‘n Go seats Wow, does time fly by. The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica represents the eighth(!) model year since Chrysler’s iconic minivan lineup was reborn under a single newish
