FERRARI
296 GTB/GTS
Ferrari’s new mid-engine sports car was covered in last year’s guide, as we thought we would see it on the streets earlier in 2022. Instead, it lands in customers’ hands this fall with a sizzling plug-in hybrid twin-turbo V-6 powertrain, the first Ferrari series production model to feature such a configuration. The 296 (the GTB is a coupe, the GTS has a retractable hard top) carries a 7.5-kWh battery pack that delivers up to 15 miles of electric-only driving range, but you don’t care about that. What you do care about is its huge total output of 818 hp. Combined with active aerodynamics and rear wheel drive, it provides a rare level of performance and thrills.

Can the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 \"Meteor\" Kill Off the Dinosaur Trucks?
We recently heard a rather tasty morsel: Chevrolet is planning a more extreme version of the Silverado ZR2 to properly take on the Ram 1500 TRX and Ford F-150 Raptor. The project is apparently called “Meteor” because “that’s what killed off the dinosaurs.”

What Everyone's Been Waiting For 2023 XL750 TRANSALP
Honda's Transalp lineage dates back to the late '80s as the XL600V. We saw the motorcycle only briefly in the U.S., and then it disappeared in the great adventure dual-sport extinction event of the early '90s. Although, some aspects have been carried over from the 700V model, like the large dash area and color options (which we'll discuss later), the all-new platform comes with a host of modern features. So, what's the 2023 XL750 Transalp all about, and how will it stack up against the competition? Let's dive in....
