Reviews SummaryThe Ford Mustang returns for a final tour as its primary rivals head to retirement. This seventh-generation pony car is based on its predecessor but receives numerous upgrades that significantly improve its interior and technology. For fun on a budget, it's difficult to beat a Mustang, and this newest version continues the tradition with a healthy dose of nostalgia. | |
Reviews SummaryThe car we’re discussing in this review is the Lexus RC F, a sports car based on a luxury coupe. The Lexus RC is so-named as an acronym for “Radical Coupe.” And while it may not be so revolutionary nearly 10 years after its introduction, that doesn’t mean it isn’t compelling. Verdict: The Lexus RC F is an oldie but a goodie. The Lexus RC F Track Edition, which we drove for this review, goes much further. It’s focused and purposeful, and for the buyer whose priorities align with its mission, it’s hard to fault. | |
