First Drive: 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Is a Departure in More Ways than One
The new Lyriq is arguably the prettiest Cadillac in a long time. From a unique front face that will soon become instantly recognizable to its long, sleek lines and beautiful detailing, it could be seen as the modern counterpoint to the Cadillacs of the '50s. They were distinctive and widely admired, though with a completely different design language than this…

2022 Ford Bronco Raptor Review: A Better Bronco in Nearly Every Way
The verdict: The 2022 Bronco Raptor delivers on just about every promise Ford made when the off-road SUV debuted, with incredible off-the-lot capabilities that seem up to tackling almost anything owners can throw at it.

Toyota Corolla (2023 facelift) review: self-charge of the light brigade

2022 Subaru WRX Review: Party of One
The verdict: Starting around $30,000, the manual 2022 Subaru WRX is an inherently fun and unique all-wheel-drive performance car. Versus the competition: Where the WRX lacks some sharpness compared with the competition, it makes up for it with standard all-wheel drive for all-season duty. The previous-generation Subaru WRX was great: a four-door sedan with plentiful grip and an eager driving…

2022 Lexus LX 600 Review: A Flagship Needs to Be Better
The verdict: Flashy to the point of gaudiness, expensive but flimsy-feeling, big outside but not inside, Lexus’ flagship SUV drives well but is disappointing overall.

Used Renault Clio (Mk5, 2019-date) review
Verdict It's more than three decades since the Clio burst onto the scene, advertised in the famous Nicole and Papa TV adverts. Since then, Renault's stylish supermini has matured superbly, and while it isn’t quite as small as it used to be (the Clio Mk5 is 30cm longer and 16cm wider than the original), that just makes it more usable,…
