Mike Mahanay saw The Fast and the Furious at a friend's birthday party and never shook Brian's Eclipse. He finally found his own Eclipse Spyder on Facebook Marketplace in Maryland. SOHC 4G64, not fast but extremely reliable.

The first 2027 @Ford Super Duty Carhartt Package is due at dealers this fall. XLT Crew Cab 4x4, Duck Canvas seats with 50% more abrasion resistance, triple stitching, and 20s inspired by manhole covers outside Carhartt's Detroit store.

Day three with the 2026 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail. This is the LX trim that adds front and rear locking diffs, 33 inch all-terrain tires on 18s, and a 2,400 watt outlet for camp power. A flagship Lexus that can run the coffee maker at the campsite.

I spent a week in the 2025 @Ford Bronco Stroppe Edition 2-door. 2.7 twin-turbo V6, 10-speed auto, HOSS 3.0 with FOX bypass dampers, 35s and front and rear lockers. $77,665 as tested. Not a family Bronco, but the first 2-door that clicked for me.

We put Dave Boldt in the 2025 @VW ID. Buzz. Three tons, 195 inches long, near-limo second-row legroom, 234 miles EPA, about 280 on his Level 2 gauge. $60K to almost $70K, with big discounts on '25s in stock. His catch: the third row has to come out.

We put Dave Boldt in the 2026 @Jeep Cherokee Laredo. Hybrid only, 210 hp, standard AWD, 37 mpg combined, 68 cubes with the seat down, about $40K without the sunroof. Comfortable and roomy. His catch: no pretense at all of going off road.

I spent a week in the 2026 @Toyota Corolla Hybrid XLE and saw 49 to 51 mpg in mixed Dallas driving. 138 hp, physical climate controls, 13.1-cubic-foot trunk. $31,338 as tested, base hybrid at $24,575. First Corolla that felt fun to live with.

Day two with the 2026 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail in the driveway. 457 hp, 583 lb-ft, and a detail worth knowing: Lexus kept a regular starter and alternator, so if the hybrid system quits, the V6 can still get you home.
Trip computer reset. Real mpg coming this week.
We put Dave Boldt in the 2026 @Dodge Charger R/T Plus. Twin-turbo inline six, 420 hp, 468 lb-ft, standard AWD, 0-60 in 4.7. 37 cubic feet with the seat folded. $67,160 as tested, though he sees real prices about $10K under. His take: a time capsule.

I spent a week in the 2026 @subaru_usa Trailseeker Premium and never charged it once. 375 hp, 281-mile EPA range, NACS port, 8.5 inches of clearance, 3,500-lb tow. $41,445 as tested. Not exciting, but it makes sense for families.

We put Dave Boldt in the 2026 @Hyundai Kona HTRAC AWD. Get the 190 hp 1.6 turbo, he says, because the base four is tepid. 64 cubes with the seat folded, $27K to $35K on the sticker. His take: close to an XC40 for $10K to $15K less.

We put Dave Boldt in the @Lexus RZ 550e AWD. Two motors, 402 hp, 225 miles of listed range in F Sport trim, and his road bike fit in back. No glove box, though. $62K as tested with the Luxury Package. He'd put it on a short list.

2026 Ford Ranger Raptor Review: Off-Road Upgrade Worth It? If you missed it Friday, the full video is up. 405 hp twin-turbo V6, Fox Live Valve, Baja mode with lockers, and whether it beats an FX4 for Texas.

We put Bill Owney in the 2026 @Toyota Crown Signia for a fall run to the Ouachitas. 240 hp hybrid, standard AWD, 37.8 mpg for the week, around $50K. He calls it a grand-touring wagon that sits a little higher. Not thrilling, just quietly excellent.

Bill Owney took the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia deep into the Ouachitas this fall and came back with some thoughts on why this hybrid stands apart from the usual crossover crowd.

We put Dave Boldt in the 2026 @subaru_usa Outback Wilderness. 2.4 turbo boxer, 260 hp, 3,500-lb tow, dampers he called amazing. He saw 25 mpg. About $45K to $50K. His line: walk past the sheetmetal and you'll love it.

I spent a week in the 2026 @GenesisUSA G70 Prestige Graphite 3.3T AWD around DFW. 365 hp twin-turbo V6, $60,295 as tested. EPA 19 combined. A sport sedan for people who still care about sport sedans.
