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.
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
2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 11.01.2019
You may not realize that the Shelby GT500 has been missing from the Ford Mustang lineup for 6-years. You also may not even care that the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is the most powerful street-legal Ford ever built. But, believe us, Mustang faithful the world over certainly do! When Ford first announced the return of this beast, they claimed it’s… Read More
2020 Toyota Corolla 10.01.2019
The 2020 Toyota Corolla begins the 12th generation of a car that’s historically numero uno in global popularity. One drive and we were convinced that it continues with the practicality and commuter comfort that the Corolla is historically known for, but adds an expressive new design, improved technology, and a powertrain option not previously available here. Now… Read More
2020 Ford Explorer 9.03.2019
MotorWeek kicks off its 39th season by highlighting a vehicle that best symbolizes the current American SUV lifestyle, the Ford Explorer. No other vehicle better illustrates the transformation of Sport Utility Vehicles from backwoods explorers to family cars more than Explorer, the best-selling ute of all time. The previous generation Explorer fully embraced… Read More
2020 Hyundai Palisade 8.05.2019
The name Palisade is defined as a type of fence with pointed stakes for protection and defense. So, perhaps with the introduction of the 2020 Palisade, Hyundai is projecting their 3-row, luxury-minded SUV as their best line of defense against the endless barrage of big crossovers these days, and a family’s best protection from the outside world! Or, maybe, they… Read More
2020 Toyota GR Supra 7.01.2019
Perhaps no new car has been more widely anticipated by enthusiasts than the 2020 Toyota GR Supra. This sleek 2-seater coupe has been teased and promised for years, and it is finally here. However, the new Supra’s design and engineering did take a somewhat non-conventional path. To reduce the financial risk of launching a relatively low volume model, Toyota… Read More
2019 BMW 330i 6.06.2019
For many years, the BMW 3 Series went mostly unchallenged as the preeminent European sport sedan. But, as we all know, things are much different now. Brands from all over the map have taken BMW’s formula, refined it, and are delivering some incredibly dynamic and capable luxury-oriented sport sedans. And this is the environment into which an all-new 7th… Read More
