New ‘Magnum P.I.’ has fake Ferrari, fake Tom Selleck

Consumer Reports, Edmunds observe significant problems with Tesla Model 3 test cars

Long braking distances and infotainment gremlins are top concerns

2019 Chevy Corvette Z06 spied testing with ZR1 wing, roll cage, lots of orange

Could this be a hardcore, track-ready Z06?

The Chevy Corvette line is pretty well rounded at this point, starting with the plain old Stingray up to the beastly, hardcore ZR1, with the Grand Sport and Z06 filling in the gaps. But it looks like yet another Corvette niche could appear, as evidenced by the above spy shots. They show a Corvette Z06, but with a ZR1 wing and more. And by more, we mostly mean "orange."

He says it reminds him of the 919 Hybrid race car

Porsche continues to make progress in developing its Mission E electric sports sedan, and apparently it's made enough of them to let former F1 driver and recent Porsche 919 Hybrid endurance car driver Mark Webber take a turn behind the wheel.

2019 Subaru Ascent First Drive Review | A three-row do-over

A turbocharged competitor to the all-wheel-drive, seven-passenger throne

The brand-new 2019 Subaru Ascent could very well be called the Mulligan. You may have heard the term used by amateur golfers as a sort of do-over for an egregiously bad first shot.
