Car of the Month
Each month, MotorWeek host John Davis selects a vehicle to highlight that has the potential to be a game-changer, sets a new benchmark in its class, or exemplifies the latest trend in the automotive world.
2021 Chevrolet Tahoe 9.02.2020
Back when the first full-size Chevrolet Tahoe sport-utility appeared for the 1995 model year, American SUVs were mostly bare bones carryalls hastily assembled on truck ladder-style frames. At that time, creature comforts way down the list of priorities. Much has changed since, and in the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe has as well. We first tested a Tahoe when it… Read More
2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave 8.05.2020
You may have gathered from the name already, that the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave is something different. Whereas the Rubicon trim is built to withstand the abuse of bouncing off boulders and climbing the rock ledges of the Rubicon trail, the Mojave is aimed for wide open desert running, in a fashion similar to Ford’s SVT Raptor. The short wheelbase Wrangler was… Read More
Porsche 911 Speedster 7.01.2020
While there have been plenty of special Porsche 911 models over the years, you could make an argument that the 911 Speedsters are the most special of the special. They tend to arrive only once a decade or so. The latest one showed up last calendar year to commemorate Porsche’s 70th anniversary. It was designed to showcase the best of what Porsche has to… Read More
2020 Mazda CX-30 6.02.2020
These days, if you still have a sedan in your lineup, there’d better be an SUV based on the same platform or you are out of luck. Now, if you can manage to design two SUVs on that same platform, all the better. That’s where the all-new 2020 Mazda CX-30 comes in. Built on the Mazda3 chassis, the CX30 has been squeezed in between the CX-3 and its larger… Read More

2020 GMC Acadia AT4 5.01.2020
With the COVID-19 pandemic still keeping the vast majority of Americans close to home, chances are most are actively day-dreaming of getting back to normal work and play, especially as warmer weather arrives. Perfect for those dreams, and the reality that is bound to follow, is the revamped 2020 GMC Acadia. 2020 marks the a midcycle refresh for the 2nd generation… Read More
2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 3.30.2020
It will surely come as no surprise that our MotorWeek Car of the Month is the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The all-new C8 is first production rear mid-engine Corvette in history. The new Stingray has been consistently delayed arriving at dealers by recession, bankruptcy, strikes, now a national health crisis. Still, the media has had ample experience behind… Read More
2020 Lincoln Corsair 3.02.2020
Ford’s luxury Lincoln brand is on a roll, especially when it comes to utility vehicles. While still based on their parent’s engineering, Lincoln has infused its latest off springs with the kind of unique exterior style, and interior finesse, that rivals offshore brands with a far more established pedigree. Their latest effort is the compact 2020 Corsair… Read More
2020 Toyota Highlander 2.03.2020
When it comes to mid-size 3-row family haulers… few names come to mind quicker than the Toyota Highlander. For 2020, the all-new 4th generation Highlander stands out with a more expressive design, plus added dimensions that include a 2.4-inch longer wheelbase and overall length. When introduced in 2001, the Highlander veered away from competitors riding on a… Read More
2020 BMW Z4 1.09.2020
A new BMW Z4 may not incite the kind of hysteria brought about by the original Z3 roadster that James Bond drove onto the scene back in 1996; but let’s not forget, this is one roadster that beats with the heart of BMW. So, when we took delivery of our test 2020 Z4 M40i, it quickly got our blood pumping. Now 3-generations removed from that original Z3, and no… Read More
2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country 12.02.2019
If you’re one of that small group of American buyers that actually daydreams of buying a smart-looking all-wheel-drive luxury wagon instead of a bulkier SUV, the arrival of the 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country is just for you. That is, if you haven’t already invested in a Subaru Outback, the undisputed king of this very small market niche. No surprise, the V60 Cross… Read More
