About two and a half years after the concept’s debut in Detroit, the (mostly) production 2020 Kia Telluride has been revealed in New York for Fashion Week.

Refreshing or Revolting: 2019 BMW Z4
Take a look at BMW’s Z series, which stretches all the way back to 1989 with the Z1, and you’ll see a few common design themes across the entire lineup. But you’ll see a more obvious design lineage when you look at just the Z3 and last two Z4s. The 2019 BMW Z4 diverges slightly …
2019 Ford Gt Heritage Edition Brings Gulf Oil Livery To The Street
In 1968, a Ford GT40 wearing the iconic Gulf Oil livery and fielded by JW Automotive Engineering won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A year later, the same car — chassis number 1075 — won again, making it one of only a few vehicles to win the prestigious endurance race more than once. For …
2019 BMW 330i Prototype First Drive Review
E21. E30. E36. E46. E90. F30. To the most people, it’s nothing but alphanumeric gibberish. Read them off to my mother and she would probably stand up and yell, “Bingo!” But car guys, real car guys, know these numbers well –- the six generations of the legendary BMW 3 Series. And the seventh, chassis code …
2018 Ford GT Flexes Muscle At Dyno, Numbers Are A Bit Low
We know the Ford GT is fast. It’s also exclusive, with the Blue Oval holding a very small production run each year for the next three years. In fact, Ford only managed to make 138 of its planned 250-unit run for 2017, though the company pledges to keep going until all 1,000 cars – the …
The 2019 Mercedes A220 Sedan Is America’s New Baby Benz

2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI Drivers’ Notes Review
The 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI, like its forerunners, promises to be all things to all people. It’s a quiet and comfortable commuter one day and a corner carving riot the next. It does both of those things without compromising either too much. It’s part of the reason that it has remained as popular as it …
Mazda6 Sees Gains In Ugly Month For Midsize Sedans
Though June overall wasn’t a terrible month for automaker sales, at least for the most part, it was pretty hideous for midsize family sedans. Basically every single model in the segment saw declining numbers including the Subaru Legacy, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion, Volkswagen Passat, and even perennial volume sellers such as the Honda Accord and …
2018 Hyundai Kona Misses Out On Iihs Top Safety Pick
There are many things good about the 2018 Hyundai Kona subcompact crossover SUV. The turbo engine gives it some real get-up-and-go, it handles surprisingly well, and it has a pleasant interior. But apparently it has a feature that’s actually not good: the headlights. And they were bad enough that they kept the small crossover from …
