2015 Porsche Boxster GTS: King Of The Topless Porsches4.5/5

Thank you, Porsche. Thank you for taking the floaties off of the Boxster's sublime platform and giving it a push towards the deep end of the sports car swimming pool. After years of hamstringing the Boxster in the power department so as to prevent the company's 911 Carrera Cabriolet halo …December 26, 2014

Which Car Do You Want For Christmas?

Car enthusiasts don’t want toys. Sure, they may look happy unwrapping a snowbrush or a Mopar clock, but what they really want is an actual car.

2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS: The Sweetest 911 Package?4.0/5

Wiggle, wiggle. Coming downhill out of turn four at Willow Springs International Raceway carrying a little too much speed in the 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, I was immediately made aware of the coupe’s 3.8-litre flat-six engine’s mounting position at the very rear of the car, hanging out over the …November 20, 2014

2015 Porsche 911 Targa 4: Stuttgart's Sixties Buzzcut4.0/5

The 2015 Porsche 911 Targa 4 is proof that infinite variation on a theme can serve as a viable business strategy in the sports car universe. Simultaneously tapping retro-themed styling and gee-whiz technological wizardry, the 911 Targa 4 is wedged between the 911 coupe and the open-air 911 Cabriolet, giving …October 24, 2014

2014 Best Buys: Intermediate SUVs Over $50,000

Some models are born to shine! It all starts with a great platform. Once a platform has proven itself, automakers will use and reuse it to ensure the success of their other models. That’s exactly what happened with the 2014 Porsche Cayenne / 2014 Volkswagen Touareg duo. While the Cayenne …October 23, 2014

2015 Porsche Macan S: The SUV For Drivers Who Hate SUVs4.0/5

If I had asked you last year to identify the most affordable member of the Porsche family, you probably would have pointed your finger at the Boxster, the brand's entry-level compact roadster. As logical as that seems, you would have been mistaken - it was actually the Cayenne SUV, albeit …October 10, 2014

2015 Porsche Boxster and Cayman GTS: Impressive Variations

When Porsche builds a series of models, it does so very carefully. Kind of like building a house. Every time one is fully revamped, the Zuffenhausen brand first introduces the regular model, which acts as the foundation of the structure. Next comes a more powerful S version with extra equipment.

Porsche 918 Spyder: Laguna Seca in a 887-hp hybrid

What would you say to rising before the sun and hopping on a six-hour flight to the other side of the continent just to do two laps in a car? If you’re anything like us, you’d be out of bed at 2 a.m. and fly for twice as long if …August 29, 2014

2014 Porsche 911 GT3: The Athlete in the Family4.5/5

With a 3.8-litre naturally aspirated engine that produces 475 horsepower and howls at 9,000 rpm, a chassis optimized for track driving, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires that are practically slicks, the 1,430-kg 911 GT3 is THE Porsche for true connoisseurs who are quick to push it to the …August 5, 2014

Not everyone can afford a Ferrari or Lamborghini, but we can all afford to dream! That’s why the Car Guide ranks the best Grand Turismos (GTs) and Sports Performance Cars every year. We’ve lumped together two very exclusive categories of vehicles: GTs and Sports Performance cars. GTs are very powerful, …May 30, 2014

2014 Best Buys: Prestige Cars

You know what’s funny? There are 19 models in this category, most of which cost upwards of $100,000, while there are just 10 in the significantly more affordable sub-compact group! First place on the podium goes to Porsche, a brand that has put all of its eggs in one basket …May 2, 2014

2014 Best Buys: Convertibles and Roadsters between $50,000 and $100,000

Interesting fact: As prices for a vehicle category go up, so does the number of models in the category! There are no fewer than 18 models among the convertibles (4 to 5 seats) and roadsters (2 seats) between $50,000 and $100,000! Once you cross the $100,000 mark, you officially fall …April 25, 2014
