Redesigned for the 2019 model year, like its Chevrolet Silverado close cousin, GMC’s Sierra has lost weight while growing a bit, expanding interior space. Without attempting to be Number One in...
2019 GMC Canyon

Enhanced by hints of upmarket flair, GMC’s solid midsize pickup exudes an impressively classy tone for a truck. Close cousin to Chevrolet’s Colorado, the Canyon also benefits from a refined interior...
2019 Dodge Charger

Recalling ancestors from the muscle-car era, as far back as 1966, the 2019 Charger continues to entice enthusiasts and is unmistakably American. Aging gracefully, the Charger can be a V6 family...
2019 Dodge Challenger

Launched as a 2009 model, the Challenger is a modern-day revival of a 1970s muscle coupe of the same name. Again exuding unmitigated swagger, it’s a vivid reminder of the muscle-car...
2019 Chrysler Pacifica

The Chrysler Pacifica emerged as a 2017 model, at a time when other manufacturers had abandoned or cut back on minivans. It proved to be time and money well-spent: Handsome looks...

Though short on the swagger that identifies some luxury-sedan rivals, the mid-size Acura TLX doesn’t hold back on premium features. For the 2019 model year, an A-Spec option group is available...

The Mercedes-Benz SL might be seen as a sports car, but it’s more of a small luxury roadster. It’s elegant and powerful, while being gentle and nimble. Its rivals are heavy...
