History may judge the Aston Martin Vantage GT12 special edition as a car of even greater significance than it had aggressive, bespoilered purpose: a turning point for Aston Martin, possibly, and a real confidence builder. Before it, the car maker couldn’t be sure it’d be worth its while pouring closely guarded development budget into an […]
The 2017 Mini Countryman is like a rowdy, rambunctious teenager who’s grown up to become a pleasant young adult. The new Countryman is bigger and better mannered than the model it replaces and better groomed inside and out. The cheeky edge that’s core to the Mini brand is still there, but it’s less forced.

I recently put my chauffeur skills to the test, driving a soon-to-be-married coworker around in the 2016 Jaguar XJL Portfolio AWD ($90,000) as we attempted to determine together whether or not it’s the perfect wedding-day ride. As part of her venue-scouting mission, we explored different neighborhoods of the city and fashioned a rather strong joint […]
Yet the husband-and-wife team of Alec and Jan Forman did just that in 1977, traversing 40,000 miles over the span of 29 countries at the wheel of their trusty Land Rover Series III.
