From the June 1978 issue of Car and Driver.It's a dirty shame that Cadillacs aren't built in England or Germany. Their hum­ble Detroit birthplace means that they nev­er get taken seriously as automobiles. Rich Republican burghers want them because they've always believed that a Cadillac was their due, a perk, baked into the deal along with the country-club membership and the GOP-camouflage … [Read more...]

Looking at the opening salvo of Hell's Revenge you'll likely exclaim, "Are you insane?" You're required to negotiate a narrow fin of sandstone barely wider than the vehicle itself, with sheer drops to either side. After that spicy introduction, it settles into something more traditional as you descend into an area called Lake Michigan, which is neither a lake nor something that bears a passing … [Read more...]

Overview It is immediately apparent that the GMC Hummer EV Pickup is built different. Its gargantuan form dwarfs anything that doesn't require a hard hat to operate, and it backs up its towering presence with equally impressive numbers. Despite weighing nearly five tons, the EV3X trim nullifies that weight via three electric motors with a combined output of 1000 horsepower. The 570-hp twin-motor … [Read more...]

You know the dinner you make right before a vacation, when you want to use up all the perishables in your pantry before you leave? You end up with Gruyère mac and cheese topped with expensive sun-dried tomatoes served with a wilty side salad and half of a day-old bagel. It's good in parts, but it's not all-around great. The 2025 Cadillac CT4-V has a similar mismatch of ingredients, as it pulls … [Read more...]

Meet the Tris, a new compact three-wheeler from Fiat that measures 10.4 feet long and has a maximum driving range of 56 miles on the WMTC test.It's effectively an electric rickshaw or tuk-tuk that comes in three configurations: chassis cabin, flatbed, and pickup. Fiat says the Tris is designed for Africa and the Middle East, and it definitely won't come to the United States—with how small it is, … [Read more...]

From the February 1978 issue of Car and Driver.The weird little Subaru rocketed over the crest and launched itself into space, and as all four wheels left the ground, what had seemed like harmless fun only a few mo­ments ago turned into a pretty dumb way to get terrified. Yes, there's that peculiar, familiar old feeling in the pit of your stom­ach when you realize you're in real trouble but that … [Read more...]

Overview The Kia Niro might not be bold or exciting, but that isn't the objective that it seeks to fulfill. Instead, it aims to deliver exactly what you'd want from a hybrid subcompact SUV and largely succeeds in that mission. Offered as either a conventional hybrid or plug-in hybrid (in addition to an EV, which we review separately), the Niro is a fuel miser regardless of which powertrain you … [Read more...]

Overview Buick's largest SUV offering is the three-row Enclave, and its large footprint contains a cabin built for maximizing passenger space. It shares its mechanicals with the Chevy Traverse and the GMC Acadia but wears a design that looks like a scaled-up Buick Envision. All models get the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 328 horsepower, but you can choose from front- or … [Read more...]

Overview Mid-size SUVs don't have to look boring, and the 2026 Nissan Murano wears a bold wardrobe that proves that point. Too bad its average road manners don't add anything exciting to the equation. A turbocharged four-cylinder provides adequate power, and the chassis is tuned to deliver a seamless ride, but the Murano's handling is forgettable. Perhaps buyers of this type of near-luxury … [Read more...]

Dodge is delaying the arrival of the four-door Charger Daytona EV from the first half of 2025 to the latter half of the year.
