Alfa Romeo might be best known for its long legacy of sports cars and its Duetto Spider’s starring role in The Graduate . While it’s true that Alfa Romeo is still churning out sports cars like the 4C and sports sedans like the Giulia Quadrifoglio , the Italian brand knows it must also make crossovers. Hence, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio . The Stelvio represents its attempt at a tall station wagon. And,...

The seventh-generation Volkswagen GTI has reached the end of its road, with the eighth-gen model just around the corner. That’s a good enough excuse for a long-term test and take one last drive of the outgoing GTI, and whet our appetite for the upcoming new model. Adding to that, there’s no better place to test this beloved, hopped-up Golf than the twisting roads of Los Angeles, California. That’s...

The Ford Bronco might be the most hotly anticipated new Ford since the latest Mustang hit the streets in 2015. Targeting the Jeep Wrangler, Ford will spread its new off-roader across the spectrum of cost and capabilities, with entry-level models starting below $30,000 and fully loaded models costing, well, much more than that. While Ford has not unleashed these Broncos onto the hordes of salivatin...

The Lamborghini Huracan recently received a significant refresh and added the hefty “Evo” tag to its name. Evo, for those out of the loop, is short for evolution. Essentially meaning that Lamborghini has taken the Huracan to the next level. While the Huracan Evo debuted with the expected all-wheel-drive system affixed to its driveline , Lamborghini recently added the lighter, enthusiast-focused re...

The 2020 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe takes the bones of a perfectly acceptable C-Class coupe and covers them with brute muscle. Powered by Mercedes-AMG's beloved 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 that makes 503 horsepower, the C63 S is a finely tuned beast. (It also possesses one of the best-sounding exhaust notes of any regular-production V8 available today.) On this episode of Quick Spin , Wesley Wre...

On this episode of Quick Spin, Wesley Wren talks with Editor Wes Raynal about his time with the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited Ecodiesel. This range-topping Wrangler brings an upscale price thanks to its creature comforts and diesel power. Raynal takes this well-optioned off-roader around the Detroit suburbs to see what it's like to live with, and you're along for the ride. Despite its off-...

On this episode of Quick Spin, Wesley Wren is joined by Editorial Director Patrick Carone, who spent time with a 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF. While most enthusiasts would opt for a manual Miata, Carone tested an automatic-equipped MX-5. Powered by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated I4, and backed by that six-speed automatic, this Mazda might not be as potent as the supercars we’re often testing. As we f...

On the first episode of Quick Spin, Wesley Wren talks with West Coast Editor Mark Vaughn about the first effort from Polestar. Aptly named Polestar 1, it oozes with style and shows that Polestar — the offshoot of Volvo — isn’t pulling any punches. Vaughn puts the Polestar 1 through its paces in the canyons of California. Powered by a 2.0-liter inline-4 force fed by way of a supercharger and a turb...
