2000-09 What to Buy: Honda S2000

Overseen by Honda chief engineer Shigeru Uehara (the father of the original Acura NSX and the Integra Type R, two cars that embodied Japanese performance in the '90s), the Honda S2000 is a two-seat roadster we described as "the car of your dreams."

10Best

10 Best just turned 40, and like many 40-year-olds, it's going through a time of reflection and reassessment. 10Best assures us this is not a midlife crisis but an evolution.

The Perfect Line of Code

Are autonomous-vehicle engineers the enemies of driving enthusiasts, or can we share the road and the track?

AN ODD CHOICE TO COMMEMORATE 50 YEARS OF M

If you had a performance division with 50 years of glorious history, would you celebrate it by introducing a plug-in-hybrid SUV?

EV, Straight Up

Highs: 253-mile EPA range, practical interior, free of silly EV gimmicks. Lows: All work and no gimmicks makes it a dull boy, not so lively off the line, Chevy Bolt EUV costs less.

Wisdom of the Crowd

By rigorously observing my fellow drivers, I've learned a bunch of new tricks that help me every time I get behind the wheel.

THE REBELLION ADVANCES

2023 FORD F-150 RAPTOR R: Trucks of Fury

Highs: 700 horsepower, monster-truck presence, surprisingly graceful on-road manners. Lows: Not 703 horsepower, can't lock the rear diff in two-wheel drive, it costs how much?

Track Tractor

An SUV for the track sounds as ridiculous as a supercar optimized for off-roading. And yet, Lamborghini says that around a typical racetrack, its new Urus Performante is quicker than the original 2015 Huracán.

E-tron and On

Highs: Conventionally handsome exterior, upscale and userfriendly interior, largely free of EV weirdness. Lows: Mechanically identical to its Volkswagen sibling, ho-hum highway range, not as speedy as some rivals.

This custom 1994 Grand Cherokee and homebuilt trailer were made to go camping

This fourdoor Ford foreshadowed late-model Broncos

Ddecades ahead of the '20 four-door Bronco, and even preceding the Ford Explorer and Excursion, came an SUV that could have passed for OEM and was built to answer the call for a three-row people-haulin' off-roader.
