2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid: Second Take Success3.5/5

As good as the previous-generation gas-only Hyundai Sonata was, the Hybrid model simply couldn't match it.

2015 Subaru WRX STI: Honing The Edge4.0/5

It's been a year since the 2016 Subaru WRX STI received its most recent redesign, but unlike its less-endowed WRX platform-mate it's no longer operating in a class of one.

2016 Jaguar F-Type S AWD: Wrapped Around Your Little Finger4.5/5

For most of us, automotive passion isn't a calculus derived from crunching horsepower numbers, acceleration figures, and braking distances.

2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport: Entry-Level Luxury Progress3.5/5

The Land Rover name has long promised adventure, but for 2015 the largely-new Discovery Sport entry-level SUV delivers something else.
