LETTER OF THE MONTH

Upfront

Flex Time • Our new test aims to measure off-roaders’ suspension articulation.

The Taxman Changeth • New provisions for EVs and plug-in hybrids don’t incentivize purchases so much as promote domestic production.

All Hail the Foaminator • From bumper blaster to banana foamer, an automatic carwash is a drive-through Rube Goldberg machine.

Make EVs Weirder • To compensate for their distressingly matchy-matchy power delivery, electric vehicles need to get creative in other ways.

Challenge Accepted • It seemed somehow preordained that the Dodge Challenger would play a significant role in my automotive enthusiasm.

8 THE HARD WAY THE HARD WAY • CHEVROLET PLACES AN 8500-RPM BET WITH THE 2023 CORVETTE Z06 AND ITS NEW LT6 V-8.

EXTREMIST • THE HARDEST-CORE Z06 IS MULTIDIMENSIONALLY

THE LUXE LIFE • THE MERCEDES-BENZ S500, THE LEXUS LS500, AND THE ALL-NEW GENESIS G90 PROVE THE TRADITIONAL LUXURY SEDAN IS FAR FROM DEAD. BUT WHICH OF THESE CRUISE SHIPS IS THE ONE YOU WANT TO SAIL AWAY IN?

I LOVE WHAT YOU DO FOR ME, TOYOTA GR COROLLA!

CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY Z51 • LIFE WITH AN AMERICAN ICON.

SYMPATHY for the DEALER • NEW-CAR DEALERS JUST CLOCKED THEIR BEST YEAR EVER, AND YET THEIR FUTURE HAS NEVER LOOKED SHAKIER.

THE RUNDOWN • An expert look at the newest and most important vehicles this month.

Generation Gap • Just when the Subaru WRX starts acting all grown-up, along comes the upstart Hyundai Elantra N full of youthful attitude.

Connection Restored • Highs: V-8 rumble, aggressive handling, supple ride. Lows: Hard to see out of, some misaligned interior bits, tiny trunk.

WONDER TWINS, ACTIVATE!

Uneasy E • The electric equivalent of the E-class is less than compelling.

Shape of Things to Come • Mazda’s new CX-60 provides an early glimpse of the brand’s upscale SUVs.

A Lack of S Appeal • Highs: Well packaged, economical, snazzy virtual cockpit. Lows: Disappointing interior plastics, lifeless steering, unsporting chassis.

Bauhaus Mover • Highs: Looks like money inside and out, effortless thrust of the turbo V-8, still does Land Rover things. Lows: Genteel rather than sporty road manners, not the best transport for bulky items, sixfigure starting price is merely a launching point.

1995–99 WHAT TO BUY: BMW M3
