Hyundai describes the styling of the 2022 Tucson Hybrid as “Parametric Dynamics.” [credit: Jonathan Gitlin ] I’m not sure what they feed them at the Hyundai HQ cafeteria in Seoul, but whatever it is, it’s working. The Korean automaker has been on a hot streak these past few years, having upped its game across the […]
Yes, the grille is divisive, but you can’t see it when you’re driving the car. I have a confession to make. Over the past few months of gazing at images in wide-eyed awe and after spending a week with the new sixth-generation M3 in the flesh, I’ve grown accustomed to the look. The front end […]
This is a Hyundai Veloster N, and it’s one of the few hot hatches you can buy in the US right now. It’s also really good. [credit: Hyundai ] There’s often been a case of “the grass is greener” when it comes to sporty hatchbacks here in the US. For the longest time, Honda wouldn’t […]
And the award for most improved goes to…. the 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost, which is better than the car it just replaced in almost every way.

This is the 2021 Toyota Highlander hybrid, one of the few three-row SUVs you can buy with a hybrid powertrain. I’m not quite sure exactly when the three-row SUV became the American family car, but we’re firmly in that era now. The country has always liked its vehicles to be big, and the extra height […]
Volkswagen says the ID.4 is as important to its future as the Beetle was to its past. [credit: Jonathan Gitlin ] The Volkswagen ID.4 is a big deal for its manufacturer. After getting busted six years ago for fibbing about diesel emissions, VW underwent a corporate transformation, throwing all its chips into electrification. As a […]
I’m very sorry, but this is as far off-road as I was able to take the Land Rover Defender during our time with the SUV. [credit: Jonathan Gitlin ] I wasn’t expecting to be quite as charmed as I was by the Land Rover Defender. We first saw the new Defender at 2019’s Frankfurt auto […]

(credit: Jonathan Gitlin) I wasn’t expecting the Ford Mustang Mach-E to draw quite as much attention as it did. Over the past few months, I’ve driven some wild-looking cars, but more people pulled […]
