It's easy to look at Mitsubishi Motors and accuse it of being behind everyone else in terms of technology, refinement and innovation. Sure, the Outlander is a competitive entry in its respective space, but can Mitsubishi really take on juggernauts like Honda, Toyota and Hyundai with a dated four-model lineup? The short answer is actually, yes.

Fast has become an adjective for many cars. With the arrival of electric vehicles (EVs), turbocharged engines, and rapid-shifting automatic transmissions, our definition of fast has been elevated to a whole new level. Fast has also been democratized. You can now do 0 to 60 MPH in the low three-second range with a sensible, electric family crossover. Two decades ago, that sort of fast was reserved for multi-million supercars.

Slithering its way through British Columbia’s jaw-dropping Insular Mountains, postcard lakes and waterfalls, the Pacific Rim Highway is a lovely playground for any driving enthusiast looking for good time behind the wheel of a sports car or a motorcycle. But not a 6,000-pound SUV, unless you’re a family of five casually heading to the beach as part of your summer vacation. The car I’m driving and this road would not appear to be a match.

I'm late to the game for the 2025 BMW M5, but I'm happy to finally give it a shot since it's the first-ever plug-in hybrid version of the breed. It also caused quite a lot of controversy when it first landed last year, mostly due to its electrified drivetrain, but also because of the excessive weight that came with it. But I recently had a go at the arguably more interesting 550e - which I'll review here soon - and there was actually a lot to like about that car.

No, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT is not an off-road vehicle. And it's not the only one to be this way. Nissan recently released the Rogue Rock Creek, Subaru has the Forester Wilderness, Toyota sells the RAV4 Woodland and GMC has an AT4 version for the Terrain. This idea of giving a mainstream compact crossover a rugged, adventure-ready look may be a little silly considering that these things spend most of their time on Earth living in Costco parking lots, but it does seem lucrative for automakers.

"Is it a Twin Turbo?" That is the question I get the most when driving my 1990 Nissan 300ZX. I don't blame folks for asking. Growing up during the 1990s, I remember the one car Dad and I would go crazy over was the second-generation 300ZX. There was just something about its Porsche-like, rounded-off, quasi-wedge-shaped design, low-slung demeanor, and supercar headlights that got my 10-year-old pulse running.

Any owner of an electric vehicle (EV) will tell you that the best ownership practice is to install a Level 2, home-charging AC unit. This ensures that you leave the house every morning with a full charge, often preventing you from even using public charging for your daily grind. I can say from experience that since I've installed one onto my house, it has made a world of difference to how I perceive EVs in general. Home charging is a lot more important than people think.

The Hyundai group's marketing is pretty smart. While the Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6 — and, by extension, the Genesis GV60 — are mechanically identical, they all manage to look, drive and feel like their own, unique thing. It goes further than that. The design around each model, as well as how they're marketed, was so cleverly engineered, that people's opinions of them are split right down the middle.

As the 6,000-pound Ioniq 9 Calligraphy glided its way along British Columbia's picturesque Pacific Rim Highway, its suspension damping wasn't the usual stiff and bumpy we've come to expect from these large and heavy electric vehicles (EVs). Rather, the ride was smooth, compliant, composed, the way any sensible crossover should feel. And the more miles I stacked up during the Ioniq 9's first drive, the more I would forget about its non-dependence on fossil fuels.
