Performance

We had an opportunity to experience a sampling of four cars from Maserati’s lineup: the GrandCabrio Trofeo, GranTurismo Trofeo, MC20 Cielo and MC20 GT2 Stradale.

With enough power to match an SL63 and enough refinement to beat most any other AMG, the new 2025 Mercedes-AMG E53 is a stellar, daily-use performance sled.

It might not have the V-8 we miss dearly, but the new, turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid powertrain in the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S E Performance is unbelievably potent.

After receiving an interior overhaul for the 2025 model year that saw the installation of a 33-inch digital dashboard, the Cadillac CT5 and CT5-V roll into 2026 mostly unchanged.

The new 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X combines the roaring twin-turbo V-8 engine from the ZR1 with a beefed-up version of the electrified go-faster componentry from the E-Ray.

The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla comes out of the box with moderately track-focused brakes, tires and a configurable all-wheel-drive system, but we’d recommend the manual transmission over the new automatic.

The 2025 Ford F-150 Lobo joins the Maverick Lobo in showrooms as the automaker tries to rekindle interest in trucks that are quick, capable, fun and aren’t aimed at going anywhere off pavement.

Rolling into its seventh model year, the Cadillac CT4 is unchanged for 2026 but still offers a variety of powertrain configurations at a base price that undercuts most of its competitors.

While far from the most hardcore and purist-focused variant in the Porsche 911 lineup, the 2025 Porsche Carrera cabriolet proves itself to be the shockingly well-rounded stunner it always has been.

Hyundai has released the first teaser photos of the imminent Ioniq 6 N sports sedan, as well as a few clues as to the particulars.
