Lucid Gravity Dream Edition HIGHS: Three roomy rows of seats, Corvette Z06-level acceleration, more fun to drive than other three-row EVs. LOWS: A few rough edges, lower-spec variants will be better values.
The front trunk transforms into a comfy seat with the $500 Frunk Seat accessory. Interiors with big screens and a squircle steering wheel are the latest craze.
A SEDAN-ONLY LINEUP IS NOT viable these days, so fledgling EV maker Lucid Motors is introducing the Gravity SUV as a follow-up to its excellent Air sedan. The Gravity's lozenge form factor is almost minivan-like, but the slippery shape is great for efficiency and range. While this limited-edition Dream model's summer tires reduce its EPA estimate to 378 miles, an all-seasons-shod Grand Touring version can carry a rating of up to 450 miles.

Forget the bestseller list—we’re stacking our to-read pile with novels in which cars are the main characters.
IT WAS A MEDIOCRE BOOK, the kind you pick up at the airport and forget by the time you get to baggage claim. I couldn't tell you the plot, but I can tell you which cars were in it. I remember because they were unusual models: an Oldsmobile 442, a Dodge Shelby Charger, and a '73 Plymouth Road Runner.

Time to Re-Tire
Ford Maverick Lobo HIGHS: Raucous Lobo mode, shrewd parts-bin upgrades, rad (standard) wheels. LOWS: Not so sporty in other modes, no extra horsepower, would be a lot cooler if it had a grippier tire.
