acura rdx vs infiniti qx50

Acura and Infiniti have built two of their best products ever. But which is better? The 2019 Acura RDX and 2019 Infiniti QX50 are both brand new, and as we explained during our first drives with them both, they’re really good. In the past, these two weren’t even considerations along the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, but now there’s serious reason to choose…

The glass panels aren’t removable, though. Bugatti doesn’t intend to build an open-roof variant of the Chiron, the hypercar company’s new Sky View roof is the next best thing. The layout puts a fixed glass panel above each seat for a clear view of the heavens. Sky View comes with the extra advantage of increasing the Chiron’s headroom by…

ALL THE FUN YOU WANT, WITHOUT LOSING YOUR LICENSE What is it: The BMW 430i is the coupe variant of BMW’s venerable 3-series. The two-door coupe is more stylish than its more utilitarian sedan sibling, but it lacks the ever-important rear seat ease of accessibility. The 2.0-liter powering the 330i and 430i BMWs makes 248 hp and 258…

This is one instance where driver experience could have made the difference The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is an incredible piece of machinery — with its 840-hp 6.2-liter V8 and drag-racing focus, it should have no problem out-running its less-powerful stablemate, the Hellcat. But like most motorsports, drag racing isn’t as simple as having the faster car. You need to know…

2018 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Performance front in motion

T Minus Forty-Five Minutes—and Counting What should be a newsworthy moment—a road drive of the Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Performance—is being sharply curtailed by the car’s PR handler, who insists that we have less than one hour to evaluate the vehicle before it needs to return. What, did she steal it from Elon’s parking…

Mercedes-AMG is now taking orders in Europe for the GT 4-Door Coupe, but it will cost you a pretty penny. Following its much-awaited world premiere in March at the Geneva Motor Show, the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe (yeah, we’re not too happy with the name either) is going on sale in Europe. For obvious reasons, Deutschland is calling…

Downshifts sound like a V8-powered blender switched to rabid. As Dodge prepared to unleash its Challenger SRT Demon in early 2017, Texas tuner Hennessey Performance unveiled its Kryptonite, The Exorcist – a 1,000-horsepower Camaro ZL1 with unholy amounts of power that bordered on blasphemous. Sprints to 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour) happen in less than three seconds while a quarter-mile…

It’s not all Prada sunglasses, spray tanning, and paisley dress shirts. Drop the top of the Lamborghini Huracán Performante Spyder and you’re left with vastness above and a black-framed windshield ahead. Seeing out isn’t difficult, but the world is suddenly framed and defined by the little black box ahead of you. It’s sort of like peering through…

corvette zr1 vs mclaren 720s

It’s 755 horsepower versus 710. The Chevy Corvette – an iconic American sports car – has a history of punching far above its class when it comes to putting more powerful and more expensive supercars on notice. While pricing for the pinnacle of Corvette performance continues to increase – the 2019 ZR1 starts at $121,000 – it packs a serious amount of…
