  • Drive Test: New Lexus RX 350 will add years to your life

    Lexus has stiffened the new 2020 RX 350 F-Sport. Oh dear, does that mean it’s forgone all comfort to chase after a superfluous Nurburgring laptime?  Were that the case it would put the new Lexus RX on a collision course with macho opposition that frankly Lexus doesn’t want or...

    Drive Test: Jaguar F-Pace SVR (2019) is hilarious fun

    Tiguan with a growth spurt? Not only that, the 2019 Tiguan Allspace carries a substantial exterior redesign with the inclusion of the 132kW TSI under the bonnet but let’s not get hung up on those details now because for all intents and purposes this is a 7-seater version to...
