RESURRECTED
Not every great idea nails it on the first try. Henry Ford designed and built nine vehicles before perfecting his formula with the Model T, and the Corvette didn't even offer a V-8 engine until its third model year.

SUPER FANS OF THE SUPERVAN
The party was over. The fun was done. That was the familiar refrain for the U.S. auto industry in the early ’70s, as several socially and federally driven changes meant high compression, and hood scoops gave way to compact cars and catalytic converters.

ROBIDA
Early in my career of slinging words and capturing moments for automotive publications, this New Jersey guy (me) was asked by a local car enthusiast if I was ever going to pack up my home, my cars, and my gear and head to the “epicenter” of the classic car hobby, which this guy insisted was in Southern California.

Lightning Lap 18
A lap time might be the best distillation of a vehicle's performance. No other single number more effectively sums up a car's acceleration, braking, and handling abilities. VIR's grueling 4.1-mile Grand Course is the best place we've found to acquire that number.

The Volkswagen Taos puts some newfound power behind its swing.
LOTS OF SMALL CHANGES can make a big difference, and that's just Volkswagen's strategy with the little Taos's mid-cycle refresh. New lights and wheel designs, a nicer interior with a larger screen, and some hardware tweaks have made this feature-filled small SUV more compelling for 2025.

The cars I recall most fondly were neither the prettiest nor the quickest. Certainly not the most expensive. They were machines that emerged willfully peculiar and intractably idiosyncratic.
