Review: two thousand eighteen Honda Clarity plug-in hybrid clears the way for electrification
Being very first to innovate the market does not mean best. Honda launched the very first hybrid in the U.S. in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine with the two-seat, three-door, odd-pod Insight. Toyota followed with the more practical Prius. The Insight was discontinued in 2016, the Prius is the best-selling hybrid in the world. Honda.

Lights, Camry, activity: two thousand eighteen Toyota Camry is anything but boring
Neighbors flagged it down in the middle of the street. Friends asked for a rail. The teenager in the parking lot stopped and gaped. “Is that the 2018?” It was not the latest Porsche turning goes, nor was it some high-revving supercar or ultra-luxe land yacht — it was the two thousand eighteen Toyota Camry. It's.

2017 BMW i3 electrical vehicle goes longer on style than miles
When the BMW i3 debuted in 2014, we called it an odd duck. An odd headless duck. Nothing has switched on the outside for 2017. The duck pun may have been a reach; it looks more like geometric Picasso tiles for kids were fashioned together to form an eco-pod on wheels, especially in the fresh hue of.

I don't know where the phrase comes from or why people seem to use it for everything from a toddler getting her way to a uncommon straight drive on the golf course, but it applies just as well to the Mercedes-AMG GLC43.

2017 BMW 530i xDrive is all very good and nice
The refreshed BMW 530i is stylish, capable and nice. In a week of driving, it neither made my pulse leap nor made me wish for the end of the drive. It's all very good and nice. It's what you'd expect from the seventh generation 5-Series. It's almost unremarkable. Until it becomes apparent it is.
Porsche nine hundred eleven GTS is the quickest, fastest and most popular Carrera
Most people know what a nine hundred eleven is even if they mispronounce “Porsche” as one syllable. Since 1963, the rear-engined sports coupe with a broad butt and bulbous eyes has enchanted drivers and oglers alike with peerless treating and adrenaline-pumping responsiveness.

2018 Subaru WRX is too noisy and I'm too old
There was a poster in the bedroom of my youth that said if it's too noisy, you're too old. The Subaru WRX is too noisy, and I'm too old. At its best, the tamer wingless sibling of the STI with the shameless rubber hood scoop does exactly what it's intended to do: give enthusiasts a tactile visceral rail.

The satan drives the two thousand eighteen Jaguar F-Type SVR
Most people who witnessed the crimson convertible with the big wheels said, “Nice car.” But when I fired up the Jaguar F-Type SVR and the engine snapped, crackled and popped, their expressions switched. Some were astonished, all were amazed, a few were afraid. SVR is the fastest and most powerful series.
