2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring Goes Fast… and Far (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lucid finally has its 3-row electric SUV, the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring . With up to 450 miles of EPA-rated range you'll need to stop for bathroom breaks more often than charging session. This 828-horsepower, dual-motor AWD luxury EV gets ultra-fast 1,000V charging architecture capable of 400kW peak speeds. In this full review, I take you through performance, charging, driving impressions, interior tech, cargo space, and of course… the TP Trunk Test. Gravity aims to redefine the premium perfor
Go Farther Into the Wilderness With the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do you feel your dog is judging your vehicle's gas mileage? It'll be happy to know that the Subaru Crosstrek is now available as a more efficient hybrid. This isn't the first Crosstrek to run with a gas-electric powertrain, but it might be the best. Smoother and more powerful than the gas-only version, the hybrid might be the way to go if the bump in price is affordable. And know you might not make that money back in a timely manner. But it does keep the brand's famous Symmetrical AWD with a rea
2026 Audi A6 TFSI First Drive: Old-School Sedan Meets New-School Audi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The new 2026 Audi A6 TFSI proves the traditional luxury sedan isn't dead yet. Built on Audi's new Premium Platform Combustion architecture, this ninth-generation A6 sticks with Audi's proven formula- a turbocharged 3 -liter V6, quattro all-wheel drive, and a classic four-door layout. Gen 9 but layers in more performance, a quieter, more refined ride and modern tech. In this first-drive review from Newport Beach, CA, I cover pricing, trims, driving dynamics, interior tech, cargo space, and how th
2027 Rivian R2 Performance First Drive- When Smaller is a Big Deal. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The wait is finally over. The all-new 2027 Rivian R2 is one of the most anticipated electric vehicles on the market, and I got behind the wheel of the flagship Dual Motor Performance model during a test drive in Bellevue, Washington. This is not my normal video review. It's a consumer test drive much like you would take, only a lot more cameras stuck all around the vehicle. In this first-drive review, Rivian's Dan Lake walks us through the new R2 before I hit the road for a real-world drive and
2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness Review. Real Off-Road Capability or Just the Look? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Subaru's Forester is back with the Wilderness treatment the brand is known for. There's extra ground clearance, an off-road tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, upgraded cooling, and of course, Subaru's signature symmetrical all-wheel drive. In this in-depth review, Tom Voelk tests the 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness both on road and off pavement to see how much real capability it adds — and what you give up in the process. As always, this review is about the good, the bad, and the mildly annoyi
