Quick Spin

Prancing Horse power, Maserati style.

Jaguar Land Rover seems untroubled by the winds blowing against diesel engines. The Td6 is establishing a beachead for a compression-ignition salvo.

The 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser is an uncompromising reminder of what SUVs used to be, and that's both good and bad.

In the last generation, the most basic Lexus IS sedan was a letdown. This new IS 200t is a lot easier to to have fun with, while still very livable.

Jaguar's F-Type was just about perfect. But with the addition of a six-speed manual, it comes closer to hitting motoring nirvana.

The Porsche Cayenne S gets a new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 for 2015. We take one out for a spin in California to see if it's still as engaging as the old V8 model.

The American pickup truck has become one of the great "do-everything" vehicles of all time. We sample a Silverado Custom Sport model to detail what the good life is like.

The entry-level Jaguar XE comes with a diesel engine, but you wouldn't know from the way it drives. We take one for a Quick Spin.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS400 has squared off some of its feminine curves, and sharpened its demeanor to boot. Not unlike a certain 1980s 'Russian' ice princess we grew up admiring.

The Ford Edge is redesigned for 2015, and we take it for a Quick Spin to see how the new model measures up.

Mazda's CX-5 has always been a small crossover with driverly appeal. The newest refresh may push it into the sweet spot of the segment, for everyone.

If you don't think that stiffened SUVs with bigger rubber and brakes can be a good time at the track, well, we'd encourage you to drive this Forester. Faster.

Is a car with an automatic less fun the same car with a manual gearbox? Well, not if the vehicle in question is a Fiat 500C Abarth and its six-speed auto.

Will a beloved diesel engine be enough to kickstart the heart of BMW's aging flagship luxury sedan?

Porsche's plug-in hybrid gets every adjective we expect of a successor from Stuttgart: more complex, more efficient, more powerful, and faster. We put the 2015 Panamera S E-Hybrid through its paces in Southern California.

The Hellcat may have stolen the Challenger 392's thunder, but a trip from Austin to Johnson City, Texas teaches us that 485 horsepower isn't all bad.

Volvo's new XC90 is an impressive luxury utility vehicle in any trim, but with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain it has the potential to shake up the segment. We drive the thing in Spain and report in.

The 2015 BMW 228i Convertible is a more grown-up take on the small premium convertible than was the outgoing 128i... though it may be a bit less special, too.

We take to the trails of Hollister Hills for our test of the all-new Jeep Renegade's off-road variant – the Trailhawk.

We've already dropped our First Drive of Ram's new entry in the light-commercial van segment, the ProMaster City. Now we go back for a quick second look; this time focusing on the five-passenger Wagon instead of the cargo variant.
