Living up to its name | 2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast First Drive
Basem Wasef / Jun 23, 2017
What's in a name? In the case of the Ferrari 812 Superfast, a numerical reference to its 800-(metric) horsepower, 12-cylinder engine and a not-so-subtle hint at its capability for extreme rates of travel. Only Ferrari, notorious for joyously naming its flagship "LaFerrari," could get away with the moniker. But once you get past the super-obvious nomenclature, it becomes hard to argue with this on-the-nose model name. If you're lucky enough to have sampled the standard F12 and one of the 799…
Superfast? Agreed.

2018 Subaru Legacy starts at $23,055, Outback at $26,810
Reese Counts / Jun 23, 2017
The midsize Subaru Legacy and Outback get a host of new updates for 2018. Both models get revised styling inside and out. Additionally, both models get some new standard features and revised suspension with the promise of improved ride and handling. As always, both come standard with all-wheel drive. The refreshed 2018 Subaru Legacy starts at $23,055 while a 2018 Subaru Outback will set you back at least $26,810, a bump of under $300 versus the outgoing models. Of course, both cars can be…
Both models are right in the mix with the competition.

Honda engineer debunks own claim about cause of Takata airbag failures
Reuters / Jun 24, 2017
DETROIT, June 23 (Reuters) - Honda on Friday released a 2013 email in which one of its engineers suggested that he knew some hidden truth about "the root cause" of Takata Corp airbag failures, but the engineer later said he was mistaken. The engineer's email was disclosed in a statement from Honda as part of its defense in a class action suit in Florida, where plaintiffs are seeking compensation for the lost value of vehicles due to defects in Takata airbag inflators. The inflators can explode…
Honda reiterated its position that it did not conceal knowledge of Takata defects, but instead was itself a victim of deception by Takata officials.

We couldn’t wait for the new Ford Ranger, so we drove one in New Zealand
David Gluckman / Jun 23, 2017
Let's get this out of the way up front: The truck you see here isn't exactly like the one we'll get when the Ford Ranger returns to the States in 2019. But we think it's very representative, and it's certainly as close as we're going to get for a while. Did I mention we're impatient? For those out of the loop, the Ranger was last sold in the US as a 2010 model. That was a compact truck. In the years since, Ford started building a "global" Ranger for sale just about everywhere around the globe…
There were lots of sheep.

2017 Audi A4: Allroad vs. sedan: We explain the differences
Joel Stocksdale / Jun 23, 2017
We're rotating 2017 Audi A4 models through our long-term fleet. First came the sedan, followed by the Allroad. They briefly overlapped in our garage. The Allroad is a slightly lifted 'estate' version of the sedan, but the differences go beyond that. We go into great depth in the video above. As you'll discover, there are small tweaks to the trim and styling, and larger changes involving the cargo space and pricing. Michael Austin and John Beltz Snyder explain it. Still need more info? Dive into…
They're the same, but different.
