Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE 2012 Review


There are lots of things I like about the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE 2012  but the CVT would be a deal-breaker. I like the looks, which steal some cues from the Lancer Evolution—a good idea. The car has a nice aggressive look to it, and as little crossovers go, I would rank this, looks-wise, near the very top.

McLaren 12C Spider 2013 Review


If flashy-exoticar curb appeal and organ-bruising ride are at the top of your supercar requirements, cross the McLaren 12C Spider off your list. From some angles, the car might be mistaken for a $25,000 Scion FR-S, while from the driver's seat it can seem as tame and relaxed as a garden-variety Honda Accord.

Honda Civic Si Navi Sedan 2012 Review


This is my second time in a Honda Civic Si in the past few months. What I liked about the coupe, I also like in the sedan: comfortable seats, a clean dash and a relatively strong naturally aspirated engine—mostly the engine.

Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible 2013 Review


This Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible 2013 is the Z06 convertible in everything but name. So on a gorgeous morning I felt it was required to open up the roof and commute in from the far reaches of the suburbs surrounding One Autoweek Tower. The drive is as good as you would expect, so I won't belabor the open-air experience. But the sounds and feel of the power, heck even the smells of the open road, are all intoxicating.

Audi R8 2014 Review


The Audi R8 2014 marks the first substantial revision for the supercar since it was launched in 2007. There are styling updates, the addition of a range-topping V10 Plus model and addition of a seven-speed dual-clutch sequential manual transmission. There won't be a 2013 R8. Instead, Audi will stretch the 2012 model until the 2014 goes on sale in the United States on March 20, 2013.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 2013 drive review


The contemporary Porsche lineup ranks slightly below the Turkmen tax code and the rebuild instructions for a Dell'Orto carburetoramong maddeningly complex foreign things. To wit: the four-wheel-drive 911, the Carrera 4. The next iteration of the new 991-generation 911 is available in Carrera 4 and more powerful Carrera 4S versions. As with the two-wheel-drive versions, the Carrera uses a 3.4-liter engine, the Carrera S employs a 3.8-liter version of the same flat-six engine, and there are convertible versions of the pair. There will be a pop quiz on this. Open-book answers will not be allowed.
