Desirable at last | 2018 Toyota Camry, Camry Hybrid First Drive
James Riswick / Jun 21, 2017
Toyota's designers and engineers come across like happy dogs that have finally been allowed to run around the backyard after staring at it forlornly through the screen door. The squirrel they've missed out on menacing, however, has been creating cars that people might actually desire to behold, drive, and own. "We wanted to go beyond the dependable Camry we've had all these years," said Chief Engineer Masato Katsumata. In this case, "dependable" is quite clearly loaded to also equal "dull" and…

Workhorse SureFly is the next step toward a flying car
Reese Counts / Jun 21, 2017
The flying car that was promised to us so many years ago has yet to arrive. Until it does, we'll have to make do with stopgaps like the recently revealed Workhorse SureFly. Workhorse, the company behind the new W-15 PHEV pickup truck, revealed the SureFly at this year's Paris Air Show. The compact, lightweight, and relatively affordable helicopter could just be the next toy for taxi drivers or bored members of the 1 percent. At first glance, the SureFly looks like a people-sized drone, with…

A brief taste of Korea's latest dish | 2018 Hyundai Kona
Reese Counts / Jun 21, 2017
Disclaimer: We were limited to a short 10-minute drive at Hyundai's research and development facility in Namyang, about a 90-minute drive from the South Korean Capital of Seoul. The closed loop didn't provide much in the way of road variation, and we reached a blistering top speed of 45 mph with all of three opportunities to use the brakes. The Kona we drove was a Korean-spec model. Suspension and steering tuning will be adjusted for the US, though we couldn't get a clear answer on what sort…
The future looks promising.

2018 Nissan Leaf spied with hardly any camouflage
Joel Stocksdale / Jun 21, 2017
We're getting close to the full reveal of the Nissan Leaf, since Nissan itself released a teaser for the car. But thanks to one of our spy photographers, we're getting our best look yet at the next-generation electric hatch. This prototype was out testing with nothing more than a vinyl wrap, and it reveals that the new Leaf will be much more conventional-looking. Up at the front, the biggest change is the addition of a faux grille flanked by horizontally-oriented headlights. This look is a…
The Leaf evolves into a more conventional car.
