Living in the Metro Detroit area, the most common luxury car is the Cadillac CTS4 and having spent a week driving the 2016 CTS4 Premium, there is little question why this plush, roomy and powerful sedan is such a popular choice in and around the Motor City.

It's often tough to capture in a few words what a car will or will not do. Such is the case with Kia's 2017 Sportage SX FWD, the affordable performance crossover.

The 2016 BMW X1 gets a complete remodel for 2016. What significant changes did the small luxury SUV get?

I recently had a chance to spend a week behind the wheel of the 2016 Toyota Tundra Limited, which offers the basic “luxury amenities” that you would expect from a new truck while staying away from the $50k price platform – making this the best budget truck for those who want some comforts and V8 power.

Torque News puts Honda’s latest and greatest Civic offering through its paces.

Torque News takes a closer look at what many believe to be Honda’s best Civic offering yet. We spend a week in the seat of Honda’s best selling 2016 Civic Sedan Touring.

After an hour or two in the seat of 2017 Acura NSX, a plot developed in my sensory overloaded brain to attempt to justify the purchase of Acura’s $158,000+ rolling automotive art piece. In short, Acura NSX redefines performance dynamics, I want one.

I recently spent a week driving the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro 1LT RS Convertible and while I liked a great many aspects of my first CamaroSix experience, I was most impressed by how well General Motors embraces the 3.6L V6 – making their “base mode” muscle car better than the previous version and maybe better than any V6 muscle car before it.

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson Sport is in one of the largest in most popular segments in America, but where many small SUVs fall short, the Tucson Sport shines much brighter than I could have expected – as it is fun to drive, roomy and it handles rough driving conditions very well.

The new 2016 RAV 4 Hybrid doesn’t care how you drive it, I found out as I test drove it to review it. You never drop below 33 MPG.

It turns out that one needn't spend $45,000 to experience the essence of 2016 Acura TLX. This exceptional drive and ride experience begins with the base model.

2016 Accord and 2016 Mazda6 are both great cars. Which is the best car for you? That can be a very personal assessment..

I recently spent a week driving the 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk and after previously testing the Renegade at an ORV park in California, I believe that this new compact Jeep in its premium form is the “realest” of the little Jeeps offered in the past decade.

After posting my first drive review of the new 2017 Hyundai Elantra sedan, we received several questions about the 5-door Elantra GT and while the GT model doesn’t join the sedan in the refresh – this sporty compact 5-door is just as good as ever.

The all-new BMWX5 xDrive40e is efficient, engaging and fun-to-drive.

The 2016 Chevrolet Volt has been redesigned from the ground up, including an all-new drivetrain, but how do all of those upgrades translate into real world use? Well, they make the 2nd generation Volt better than the original Volt in every way – from electric range to driving dynamics to the plush cabin.

The 2016 BMW 340i Sedan xDrive is a driver's car that pegs the fun-to-drive meter.

I recently spent time driving both the Scion iA and the Scion iM, during which time I learned that a great many people who are interested in the automotive industry don’t have a clear idea of what makes these two cars different – so today I break down the advantages of each of these new Scion compacts.

Honda’s 4 cylinder powered Accord Sport comes to us this week with a surprise or two. But do we like it?

I recently spend a week behind the wheel of the 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Rally Edition and when that week was done, I had a new appreciation for a car that I really enjoyed when it was introduced in the lower performance Turbo package a few years back – while still loving the unique 3-door design of the funky little hatchback.

The BMW 7 Series was a top luxury sedan before the new model came out this year. Now the 2016 BMW 750i is even more opulent.

This week we test drive the 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited in the mountains of Colorado. What makes this wagon a unique offering?

The new 2016 Kia Optima was the subject of a Super Bowl commercial featuring Hollywood tough guy Christopher Walken in which they likened the sporty midsized sedan to a really flashy pair of socks, but after spending a week driving the turbocharged Optima, I feel that they are selling the car a little short – as this car is far better than my favorite socks.

This Honda man was so impressed by Mazda’s smallest crossover, that I decided to give Honda’s subcompact HR-V crossover a second look, just to be sure

I recently had a chance to spend a day driving the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited and I can say that while the new Elantra doesn’t perform all that differently from the previous models – it has gotten a little better and a little prettier with the next generation.

How well does the Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4x4 Double Cab tackle the easy stuff?

What happens when you mix a special edition 2016 Subaru WRX STI and 14-inches of snow? Hang on.

While the Cadillac Escalade is the first name in high end luxury SUVs in the US market, the Buick Enclave is ideal for those buyers who want premium amenities in a smaller, more efficient and more cost effective package – with a big luxury feel sans the big luxury price.

I recently had a chance to spend a week testing the 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road and after putting it through all of the same punishment as I do the larger half-ton trucks, this truck impressed me in every way like no “small” truck I have tested – from off-roading to towing to everyday driving, the Tacoma TRD Off-Road rocks.

While testing the 2016 Scion tC recently, a friend asked me why the company still sells the tC when they also have the FRS in the lineup, so today, I look at why Scion offers two sporty coupes in the same lineup – and why it is a great idea.
