The Next North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Is on This List (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Selecting the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year starts Tuesday, Sept. 15, as the automotive journalists who choose the winners reveal their “Best of 2027” list. The list contains 25 vehicles that’ll get strict scrutiny for the rest of 2026 before three triumph at the Detroit Auto Show next January. The jury winnowed the 25 contenders from 56 new cars, trucks and SUVs already on sale or expected to hit the market before the end of 2026. The list includes vehicles with elec
Mercedes Just Built the Family Hauler of Your Dreams, the AMG E 53 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The entry for “shortcomings” in my driving logs for the 2026 Mercedes-AMG E 53 plug-in hybrid station wagon and the 2025 model sedan is embarrassing. It’s my job to recognize excellence in design, engineering and technology — and to point out what could be better. I believe fundamentally that perfection is to be sought, not achieved, but try as I might, I can’t find much room for improvement in these fast, stylish and luxurious plug-in hybrids. You want a long list? That’ll be the things that pl
This Advice for Safe Driving Contradicts What Teachers Told You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first thing many drivers learned in driver’s ed — where to put their hands on the steering wheel — no longer applies. Whether you were taught 10-and-2, 9-and-3 or even 8-and-4, the old rule has changed as steering wheels and air bags have evolved. “Recommendations relative to hand position on the steering wheel have become more flexible,” according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration publication Using Efficient Steering Techniques. There is surprisingly little research comp
2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness Makes Life Tough for Jeep, Ford and GMC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness adds off-road capability and a higher equipment level to a redesigned SUV, but its $44,995 starting price puts it well above the base Outback. Prices start at $34,995 for the Outback and $44,995 for the Wilderness, excluding a $1,450 destination charge. The well-equipped test vehicle cost $49,085. The five-passenger, all-wheel-drive SUV has a 12.1-inch landscape-oriented touchscreen, physical controls for the climate system and a higher roof that adds headroom,
Why the 2027 Mercedes CLA 250+ Is My Favorite Car of the Year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The number of new electric vehicles hitting the market plummeted when the U.S. government pulled the plug on support for the auto industry’s adoption of EVs a year ago, but the 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ Electric would be a winner no matter how many fresh competitors it faced. Exciting performance and handling, driving range that looks like a typo, and clean, elegant styling make the CLA the best new sedan or coupe I’ve driven this year — regardless of drivetrain: electric, hybrid or solely int
