Form and function in fairly equal parts | 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio First Drive
Jeremy Korzeniewski / Jun 26, 2017
Alfa Romeo, a brand synonymous with sports cars that combine beautiful Italian design with historically dodgy reliability, now makes a crossover. The Stelvio is named after what is quite possibly the best driving road in the world, and the automaker would have you believe that it is the most purely focused driver's ute in the world. To that end, the Stelvio boasts a perfect 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution, a fast 12.0:1 steering ratio, and an all-wheel-drive system that's tuned to send…
The finely tailored Italian crossover that doesn't come with an exorbitant price tag.

Ford Ranger Raptor spotted testing in Michigan?
Jeremy Korzeniewski / Jun 26, 2017
As if we didn't already have ample reason to be excited by the arrival of a brand-new Ford Ranger pickup truck on American shores, we now have evidence that the Dearborn-based automaker has a jacked-up off-road variant in the works. Will it be called the Ranger Raptor? We don't know, and honestly, we don't really care ... just so long as it's real. There appears to be an aggressive grille hiding behind the camouflage, probably similar to the one seen on the larger F-150 Raptor. But we're more…

Reuters / Jun 27, 2017
TOKYO - Japanese auto parts maker Takata Corp. expressed condolences on Tuesday to victims of its faulty air bags linked to at least 16 deaths and 180 injuries around the world, but stopped short of offering a full apology.

The meeting came a day after Takata, facing tens of…
Condolences, not an apology.

Chevy Bolt drag races VW Golf GTI - and there's a clear winner
Greg Rasa / Jun 26, 2017
It should come as a surprise to no one who understands the torque that comes from an electric motor, but this video making the rounds demonstrates that even a Volkswagen Golf GTI, a benchmark for hatch hotness, is not hot enough to beat an all-electric Chevy Bolt EV. In two out of three races, the Bolt beats the GTI handily. In one race, the Bolt has a bad launch but still manages to finish neck-and-neck against the GTI, which has a 2.0 liter turbo four and can do 0-to-60 in about 6 seconds…
It's no contest.
