Detroit Bureau Chief

Aaron Bragman

Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman has had over 25 years of experience in the auto industry as a journalist, analyst, purchasing agent and program manager. Bragman grew up around his father’s classic Triumph sports cars (which were all sold and gone when he turned 16, much to his frustration) and comes from a Detroit family where cars put food on tables as much as smiles on faces. Today, he’s a member of the Automotive Press Association and the Midwest Automotive Media Association. His pronouns are he/him, but his adjectives are fat/sassy.

In its base form, the CLE300 coupe is a swift, silent, comfortable touring machine with a dash of two-door style.
Striking style, glorious V-8 power and noise, and a meticulously crafted interior make the Lexus LC 500 convertible feel like a Japanese Aston Martin.
The redesigned 2024 GMC Acadia returns to GM’s big crossover-style SUV platform, essentially becoming a fancier, pricier Chevrolet Traverse.
According to Lexus, a 2024 RX 450h+ should be able to go 37 miles on electric power alone. We wanted to see if that holds true in real-world driving.
Like Las Vegas incarnate, the Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV is awkward to look at, cheaply luxurious and more than a little bit gaudy — but it’s also more fun than you expect.
The 2025 Cadillac Optiq is the smallest of the bunch of current and forthcoming Cadillac SUVs, and it features the lowest price.
The new 2025 Optiq is a compact two-row SUV meant to be the entry point into the brand’s electric showroom, and it arrives in the autumn.
Ford just put its 2024 F-150 through what’s called a “mid-cycle refresh,” where it received mild styling updates, new interior bits and new technology and features, plus the Raptor R, which is still something special.
Whenever a new F-150 arrives, the question is always if Ford went far enough with its update. For 2024, the answer is simple: It’s more about not fixing what ain’t broken.
Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman set out to see if the Prius Prime XSE Premium could achieve its stated 39 miles of electric range — or if it could do better.
