For those who live at ten tenths, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is hard to beat.

We’re out driving the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe. From first impressions, it looks to be a vast improvement over the outgoing model.

Swipe ➡️➡️➡️ to see more of the all-new Maserati MC20. No, this isn’t a replacement for the GranTurismo but a stand-alone model. Look out for a review by this time next year!

The 2020 Mercedes-AMG G 63 is on test this week. With 577 horsepower and side-exit exhaust, it’s one of the meanest machines out there.

The latest G-Class has much better on road manners without sacrificing any capability off the beaten path. The interior is all new and while it still doesn’t get MBUX connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make things more manageable.

Plus, the feeling of cruising down the street on a cool night at the tail end of summer in the G-Wagon is pretty tough to beat.

The Mazda MX-5 has always been a brilliant, effervescent driving machine that’s brimming with life. We tested the latest one and fell in love all over again.

Genesis just dropped the redesigned G70. It’s a looker for sure, and will hit our shores in 2021, likely as a 2022 model. It gets standard all wheel drive, updated looks, and more.

The kicker is that due to slow sales, the manual transmission is gone, marking the end of an era for this entire segment. Enthusiasts; before you begin to criticize and groan, just remember that if more had bought it, the option would have survived. The market has spoken and even with the eight-speed automatic, this is a wonderful car.

The Mercedes-AMG GT R Coupe is special - REALLY special. The boosted V8 makes thunderous noises and has incredible response, and the electromechanical steering is somehow better than the hydraulic rack in the regular GT and GT S. The engineering behind this has made it a modern work of art.

This year, @toyota brought all-wheel-drive to the popular #Camry. We happen to own the last Camry made with power sent to all four wheels, a 1990 AllTrac 4WD.

For the first time ever, the 2020 Camry XLE AWD meets its ancestor, the 1990 Camry LE 4WD. A full comparo is coming soon!

Toyota’s RAV4 Hybrid is already one of the most desired new cars today. We’ve just test driven the 2021 RAV4 Prime, the popular crossover’s first foray into the plug-in hybrid market.

Long story short; it’s excellent. The full review is up now online!

This is the 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. It has 505 horsepower out of its boosted six, and looks absolutely stunning. Swipe right ➡️➡️➡️ for more photos.

However, like every Alfa it has its quirks. The fast steering is “good, not great”, and the seats are nowhere near as comfortable as they should be.

More to come in the full review.
